We need that leadership for the young-in's. Yep the perfect leader in meaningless games I kid ..

Hairy Kneel Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I like our no name defense. After Huggy nobody knows who we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherCanucksFan Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) So is this the game that costs them the tank race? And anyone getting excited again about the Canucks might think about last year where they went on a run where they still didn't make the playoffs. Is this really the team that's going to get us into the playoffs or even advance beyond the first round?

Were I either of those I'd be utterly pissed at teammates not making any effort. This is it.... The players are playing for their futures. Either as Canucks or with other teams. They can't afford to play to lose.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Petey reach playoff he will quantifie himself. Only the team that try to injure our stars have a chance to win. But if Myers lays hits like the famous one here we won’t risk that.

Petey40 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Man that short handed goal and his OT goal against Blues is really showcasing Petterssons speed. He definitely worked on his skating cause he’s insanely fast now and getting stronger on his skates. Turning into a bonafide superstar. Love it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 6 hours ago, RWJC said: I’d opine it’s a couple reasons: Tocchet is a new coach and wants to endear himself to his players, some of whom are likely chasing nice little bonuses. imho, he’s delicately balancing asserting control and system development, trying to elevate pride while at the same time understanding what’s at stake for some guys personally and financially. some players really thrive with high TOI. I think he’s just giving it to them until they show signs of needing to be reigned in a bit. It’s building trust. It’s good. I don’t think the players or coaching (to an extent) give a poop about the draft position. It has no bearing on the now, which is what they concentrate on most as a pro athlete. Absolutely not.... They may be playing for another organisation or even not playing at all by the time drafted help may arrive. More importantly, they may lose their jobs to the drafted players, if they play poorly... Turkeys never voted for Christmas... and professional athletes want to show case themselves as good players. It has a massive bearing on their future incomes. Finally the coach will get sacked if his team suck... He is coaching for his future as well... Tocchet has been given almost half a season to teach the players new structured systems to play. They are hardly wasting that opportunity by sitting back and doing nothing. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank is off when we play the team from the self anointed centre of the universe. It’s hard not to cheer for a team that works this hard, this diligently, but my oh my, I want the best shot we can get at Bedard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 8 hours ago, Metal Face Doom said: First. JT Miller was awesome. Petey was great. Demko was lights out. The core. I have to say that was one of the most entertaining games in years. Even in the first period - in which they were pretty flat - they otherwise stuck in and played hard to the end which was nice to see and undoubtedly Demko saved the game for them. Nice to see him back in form again! Good job Boys! Now lets rest Demko and get back to losing for several more games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting the calvary to blow thru town based on how much TSN and Sportsnet were hyping the Leafs up for the last week - as the next coming of christ. But WOW - what a flat bunch of overpaid pussycats they are! They wouldn't stand a chance against Real hockey teams like the Bruins and Lightning. I guess the curse of '67 will continue forever for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll never win anything with a garbage goaltender, and middling D Literally the 1 indispensable asset is a top tier goalie all the other stuff doesn’t matter if your goalie is mediocre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I'm on team tank but it always feels good to beat the Leaf's. Especially when we really beat them up the way we did last night. Edited March 5, 2023 by dpn1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
