I love where they are at but you had a chance to win if you clear that puck on the 3-3 goal. It was our top players out there. That’s what frustrates me and Petey just doesn’t dominate like he has in the past. He gets points but it’s been a while since he dominated a game. It's much easier when you watch from home. You can isolate plays to pick themapart but in real time (which is fast in NHL action) you don't always get perfection. Just how it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who predicted this in the preseason? Soucy will return in a few weeks. Team is going to be even better. Thought JT and EP looked bit tired today. They get the hardest matchups on the road without last change. Edited December 22, 2023 by Jaimito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Optimist Prime Posted December 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2023 That was incredibly entertaining, even my "non-hockey watching" wife was having fun watching and trying to pronounce Hakanpaa and Heiskenen. At one point there were three fins on the ice for Dallas and I was livin the dream, lol. So we have one more win than Vegas and so technically sit on top of the standings even though tied in points with them. There are only ten teams that have yet to lose 10 games in regulation and Vancouver is one of them. Such a great time to enjoy the game, and root for the home team!! (well to us...today they were the visiting team but you get my point) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 2 games I’ve been actually pissed about this year. New Jersey and the San Jose loss. Been a fantastic season so far. It’s been great. Like to see Kuzy back with Petey. Tough having him play with 3rd liners for most of the season. Our third line is the best in hockey too. Didn’t see that coming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"50 point pace for over a month" delusional. Lmao, OK, you can be happy with how he has been on a 68 point pace for 1/4 of the season with no end in sight for his shit play.

No need to split hairs over nomenclature. Points in every game is great. Hell, compared to last year, we could call points in every game on the road absolutely AMAZING. And to think only a few months ago people we're arguing whether they'd even make the damn playoffs this year. Like talk about setting high expectation with the flick of a switch. So much so that now even points in every game on a road trip isn't "great." It's just "good." Funny how that works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s insulting that you think you are the only one who has attended games. I understand the speed. Miller was floating on that goal after he WON the draw. That has nothing to do with speed. It has a lot to do with try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get we lost and whatever. But damn. There are a lot more positives than negatives to take away from this. Tough way to lose, but like I said. Team is rolling. Even as a staunch Petey critic I'd rather just enjoy the team's success right now. Yeah I'm extremely frustrated with Petey, but honestly we have 2 strong offensive lines right now in the Miller and Garland lines. That's a big reason why we're doing OK with Petey's slump. If Garland's line wasn't on fire, we'd be in a lot of trouble. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not injured, then there's even more concern. To me it seems more mental. I don't think EP40 is nursing any injury atm. Rather, he looks like having slight alignment issues between his hockey brain and his body. If that's the case we can only hope he'll eventually get things back in sync while keep playing through it. Sitting out games won't help. The team is racking up points and Petey is still contributing. Let him find his way out as he'd done it before. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moeknows Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Petey ain't the Petey of last year...you have to be able to win a face off to have any chance in OT, did we win even one. Don't think so...... QH can't let someone get behind him like that when he's last man back..... Why is Kuzy still in the press box, 1 game I get, two I don't. Yes I'm being negative but just about this game, love the team, love the season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's second guessing himself a lot. Confidence issue similar to Kuzmenko. I'm fine with it as long as we keep winning. It'd be nice if those 2 woke up for the playoffs though. No way we will get anywhere if they're not firing on all cylinders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a better team and the opponents were wild, hawks, preds and stars. Probably only one is a playoff team. Good road trip it is.
