Hopefully the last 3 games and turns into a sieve whereby Canucks lose each by 1 goal despite scoring at least 5 goals each game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 The only way I'd be upset at the late season surge, is if the team starts next season and crashes and burns in a repeat of this year. Guess we will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of my favorite rum drinks - Dark and Stormy 2 oz of dark rum (Bundaberg if you can swing it - I used the lighter Bundy for this one, great flavour, molasses base) 5 - 6 oz Ginger Beer (I would again suggest Bundaberg Ginger Beer) Ice Lime wedge or two 1/2 - 1 tsp honey ... depending upon how sweet the rum is you have Infuse the rum with the honey until they are mixed as one. Gently place the ice cubes in the glass. Squeeze the lime wedge(s) and toss in the rinds. Top up with the Ginger Beer. Boat race your friend and then make another.

They're building chemistry and feeling good vs bad does a lot for a room. The long term of the franchise future also heavily relies on Petey, Quinn, Demko being happy and not feeling totally hopeless. Matters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the last 3 road games really mean that much for team cohesion and chemistry? If the coaches can have a hand with ‘game management’, then shouldn’t ‘season management’ also be a thing? This is among the deepest top 10 draft in years. I’m sure you agree with that. If the team can at least place themselves in the best position possible, then shouldn’t the ‘team’ from the Executive down, attempt to manage that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the Canucks finished with the absolute worst record in the league, you already know the team with the 2nd worst would somehow end up getting the first pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do this once in a while with the white skate jersey. Those jerseys need to be resurrected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work morale has a real impact on productivity, at least with every group of people I’ve ever worked with. And those positive vibes will carry over in to the summer. Guys might train just a little harder, come back just a little earlier, and stay in touch more. You can never discount how beneficial happiness is. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Took this pic last game...my phone camera is not good but I like this one) As much as I’d love to see the franchise distance itself from the current logo and kit, if they’re not going to go full-time retro with the absolutely spectacular 40th anniversary stick-in-rink kit, I’d be more than okay with black skate instead. The current orca kit just has too much negativity associated with it. Needs to be gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stick in rink has to be one of the worst logos in professional sports.......followed closely by Johnny hockey.
