-Buzzsaw- Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Just now, Vancan said: At the start of the season I was just hoping for marginal improvements, maybe winning a few more then losing, but being competitive and hard working. Zero expectations for making the playoffs this year. This is surreal to say the least. I am not surprised at the results the team has been getting. The problems have been obvious for years... and finally this management group has started to address those problems in a concrete way. We always had the offensive players, the issue was always adding D who were more highly skilled and bigger... and getting the existing D to play better. Credit to management, they made the trades and the signings, and they brought in the coaches who could create a change in team mindset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on them with the whole “ref you suck!” They did a couple real bad calls and non calls throughout the game. Also remember an icing where a Canuck deflected it in when by the opposing blue line. A few of us were stunned that was an icing call. Oh well, the important thing is we won, Dem got a shutout and the team played well. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted December 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2023 That game was SO fun. Start to finish, an electric atmosphere. Clocked myself in the face with my cowbell...only a little blood. Was lucky I didn't knock a tooth out. I took one for my team (was trying to high five my friend beside me and I had the cowbell lanyard wrapped around my wrist....shot it back at me like a slingshot). They looked great. Super happy they got the shut out for Demko. Floriduh? Not so much....they were quite awful. Oh Bob, thanks for the goal! Oh also...that call on Miller was horsepoop....if anything, they both should have gone. 3 1 7 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they could have gone with Arturs Silov as the backup and gotten good results, but this management group thinks long term. They know they have a real star in Silovs, and they want to give him time to develop in Abby like Demko had time to develop on the farm. And they probably thought Pearson was not going to recover as well... obviously he has recovered, he's played really well, but so has DeSmith... so the trade was a good one. We needed a backup for a year or two to allow Silovs to develop, and we had the goalscorers and 3rd liners to replace Pearson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think this guy was good enough for even our farm club in Abby. Serves me right for questioning the wisdom of the coaching staff. I'm just so impressed with Juul. He's becoming one of my favorite players. Almost always on the man, good passer and big hitter. Doing his job. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its imperative Silovs develops properly and NHL starting goalie ready by the time Demkos contract is up. Do we want to sign a 30+ year old goalie to a long term contract? Probably not, so do what needs to be done and take your time(ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboarder Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 1 hour ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: Both games are early too, which isn't good because we don't do good with early games. But yes DeSmith should get one game maybe 2 games this road trip Its not a bad thing to play on a back to back is to have a pair of afternoon games and get to other city early rather than red eye flight and sleep on a normal time. It'll be almost like by the time they play Nashville, it's not 3rd game in 4 night situation even it's technically is, 12 extra hours to rest their legs. Any win on the weekend is a bonus because they don't do well in any afternoon games in the central time zone historically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have had a couple tonight, perhaps even a hatty if he could actually shoot. Garland is kinda funny in his shooting decisions. He shoots a lot from really cr*p angles... from the goal line or even behind it... or from the wall. Yet he is reluctant to shoot from positions between the hashmarks, he seems to want to stick handle the puck into the net for a perfect goal. Look at Boeser, he will shoot, (now not last season) anytime he has the puck between the face off dots... even if there is a lot of traffic... and he gets goals that bounce around or just squeeze through. Garland could take some instruction from that. In any case, I think Garland is due for a couple... his line has been playing really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it took me a whole 1st period and intermission to complete the sketch. Halfway through the 2nd, I worked on the graphic editing to put the old paper textures in, resizing the image, and exporting it to a png file. All that done, while watching the game, and taking part in commenting on GDT! That was fun. Perhaps not talked about in the comments today/tonight is the depth of the subject matter in this one for example. The old goalie, back in his gear, staring up at himself in the Ring of Honour, etc, caused me (anyway) to ponder this for a short while, somewhat like the subject is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
