Had we been able to score more, you might have an argument. But its actually amazing we got 3 games given how few goals we scored. It kind of proves he was the one who kept us in it. The problem was consistency, he looked great at one point then totally awful the next. Think of how bad Demko would have to be to let in 8 goals, he would have to be totally off his game. Pressure does a lot to people and some shine and some don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Luongo on the radio, didn't want to go to the gym so he retired, sticking us with the cap penalty. Didn't want to go to the gym...lame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Lui wore his Captaincy as a badge of honour and I respect that. Never been done before. I was kinda glad that he stepped up and took the lead. He was an All-Star and among the top players in the game at the time. I can’t be more pleased to be celebrating Bobby tonight. It’s deserved. Even he thinks it’s the most beautiful city in the world and his kids were raised here, he won Canada a gold medal here. For one night, he should be celebrated, by all. Just my opinion. Hope you agree, and if you don’t, that’s cool too. I’ll ban you all after. Just kidding!! Or am I??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) For the love of all things hockey, just do the right thing and retire his number ... hang that jersey already ...

I don’t know there’s anything to suggest it affected his play. Unless you can pull up tweets Melodramatic... Yup lol!

That’s why it’s awesome to see former NHLers - guys like Bieksa in sports media… Because it makes sense - -there’s a continuity there there’s a logic there that I think adds to watching a hockey game… Because he has authority to speak into the situation that’s going on… rant over… Just cover your eyes. We cant afford Bieksa. He already has a gig.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players were not equipped to play that kind of hockey. We made Thomas look like a genius because we couldn't get the puck to the net. Luckily now we have a couple of Chara's to help clear our front of the net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamhuis was out, our best defensive dman Kesler had broken ribs Raymond was out Malholtra out Samuellson hurt I think that was the reason we lost. Had we been healthy and had our full lineup we would have won. But that's usually the case, the team who's healthier by the time they get there, tends to win.

I keep hearing that yet, Linden scored 2 gols with a multitude of injuries including broken ribs. I can guarantee almost every player that makes it the finals, has some kind of injury they are dealing with, its a nature of the beast. Thats Hockey.

The system played in front of him was sound, The Canucks weren’t allowed to shoot or even go near the guy. They were getting 0 quality chances towards the end of that series.

When you have 2 top 6 wingers hurt, your second line Selke center broken ribs, a top 2 dman, and your 3c who's a faceoff wizard out, its pretty darn hard to win against a team who was relatively healthy my lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we totally got out worked. There was no rebounds as Boston was on everything before we were. I kept yelling at the TV for the Canucks to put up some kind of fight , but its like they had totally given up by game 7. They just seemed to go through the motions and Thomas gained more confidence as the series went on. By the final, I bet he felt like he was Superman.

I suppose you ignore the fact that there's 20 players, and also seem to think that when you're basically missing your second line its going to be fine hey? And a third line center, and your best dman Show me a team who's managed to over come those injuries to win a stanley cup dude Your comments are absurd and show you don't really comprehend how hard the sport is.
