Wait, a child won the cup? i would cheer for that. Sounds like a Disney movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I am also not too invested. If I was I would be in a world of sadness...cause, well...Canucks. You must balance it better than I did Once upon I was so invested that a loss would ruin my mood, and sometimes my day or night, a bad loss would really make me sour I don't like sports having that kind of impact on me as it's not fair to anyone around me and it's a silly thing to let sour my time I'm not as emotionally attached to the players, the roster, or wins or losses anymore 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 6 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: It’s a fair comment. I don’t want to cheer for any team or player that’s an opposing player. But, I can resign myself to applauding for a good Canadian kid who is a guest in ‘our’ house. Canadians that reach records in a Canadian ‘house’ deserves a Canadian applause. It’s what we do for each other. the "Canucks have educated fans" is one of those things hockey people say like "They have a good team over there" and "Hard to play against" or "He's a good coach" they are just cliches you will never hear "We're gonna roll into Vancouver/Arizona and spank those nancy boys" or "We're gonna be easy to play against" or "Wonkie Willie and Greener are as bad a coaches as I've ever seen in the league" people say they want truth, but it only comes out on the rarest occasions Every announcer connected to the league is going to say, "X is a good coach" every player is going to say, "They have a good team over there" Likewise the myth is that Vancouver has knowledgeable fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 11 minutes ago, lmm said: its not the pass, its the cover another newish rule is, if the goalie covers the puck shot from the far side of center, no change is allowed I see no value in a 3 second play to facilitate a change for a team that is being punished for icing the puck In soccer a goalie cannot put his hands on the ball if passed back from his own player hola amigo Gracias Amigo! Now I understand what you’re getting at. I think the issue is giving a goaltender the to make a save, cover the puck and then make a play, or choose to end the play. Goalies have to make split second decisions all the time. The rules as they are allows the goalie to assess the play and make a decision. It makes sense that they’re afforded a few seconds to do so. Of course they can use that to their and team’s benefit. Getting rid of that would hamper their ability to play their position. Goalies are a special position on the team. They should be afforded a few seconds to make or stop plays. The rule is a fair rule. It applies to both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading your posts, I have learned a lot. Your past attachment reminds me of a brit movie called 'Fever Pitch' about an Arsenal fan...they did a remake but I didn't see it.

We're in the middle of crappy times and parts of our home crowd is cheering on a milstone for the other team. It's just a number. We're known for every second star getting big goals in our building. I dont care. Dont get me wrong. SS is an awesome dude and a great player. In our building, get out of here with that kind of crap. BTW, I am this way because hockey is the only place in my life where I allow myself to be very tribalistic. I cheered Ovie for his NHL Away goals scored record, it's about respect. You can be an intimidating place to play while still showing respect too. Way more disappointed in the suits/trendy folk that sit on their hands, than fans showing hard competitors earned respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I getcha. I'm not very respectful when it comes to goal scoring of any kind against our team. Again, just me. I'm actually annoyed at the barn last night, not enough Gino chants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just enjoy the moment. It's why you never see me in the trade proposal threads. Mind you I was spoiled as to when my fandom began, my first introduction to the Canucks was during the WCE era and I got to track the team having success through my teens and my early twenties I was spoiled in that I got to spend a long stretch of time being able to expect that we'd probably win most games, this probably contributed to my approach It also made this past ten years more frustrating as I hadn't had to ride out a long stretch of tough years, at this point it's old hat But I miss having teams I actually expected to win most nights, it's been a long time now, I don't expect much in terms of positive results anymore and I'm not alone in that Management has a lot of work to do to win this market over, apathy has set in for some and from what I've picked up a lot of folks just don't care as much anymore 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Man some pretty wild tank battle going on tonight. Ducks came back from down 3 to tie up Columbus. Hope for a 3 point game. Mtl sh*t the bed with Florida CHI beating Philly though we probably want a 3 point game there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could go on a big run and work back into the playoff picture. Habs have that Fla first and are going to watch it turn from a top 10 to a bottom 10 first. Habs will pick 7OA and 23OA.
