Scott Stevens at least partially got into the HHOF with his patented (and then legal) headshot hits. That is very true...

Gawdzukes Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: There is literally an embellishment rule. The ref 100% didn’t call it because of his dramatic twirl. I agree it was absolutely a trip. He didn’t get the call because he embellished. Yeah, we were lucky there. Usually you see both guys get called there. You can see when he gets put off balance he has the choice to try to stay up right or commit to the flip. I'm not trying to side with the Devils in any way, shape, or form, (so please let's not start an argument) but sometimes it's better to just go with it as trying to stay up right could also lead to injury. Anyways we're lucky he did. I'm sure Devil's fans are still bitching about it right now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree tho, I'd hope for something for the top 6 more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstorm Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 49 minutes ago, Mr Wrong said: His wrap around goal was just awesome! Pure power move. Wicked. One of , if not my favourite Canuck. I can only image the amount of work he’s done to get to where he is. Likely overcome many obstacles and nay sayers the entire way. I’ve got a gut feeling about Conar. He could well be our guy that produces a goal of two when we most desperately need them to clinch a game or series. I’m glad we have him. Trading him would be a mistake imo. Just like Sam Gamgee was instrumental in destroying the ring, I believe Conar Garland has an important yet unseen role to play in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of why all the Kuz crying and blaming Tocchet was emotionally over the top and overblown.

Tocchet has gotten this group of players to play a game that he knows and believes is the right way to win a Cup, or at least give themselves a good opportunity to win it. Management is on board, Coaching staff are on board, and the Players are buying in and on board. It’s been awhile when, from top to bottom, this team were all acting from the same playbook. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 40 minutes ago, RomanPer said: I have no problem with paying Petey. The problem is whether he’s trying to squeeze every last dollar from the organization and limiting the options for better supporting cast. $10-$10.5 mil/year is a lot of money. If he leaves that extra $1 mil/year might be the difference between us winning the Cup and coming short. I keep on bringing up the examples of Oilers and Leafs that overpay a few players and then not being able to close the holes down the lineup - that’s what we will be if we go too high on Petey. Ideally Petey signs for $10 million. But that isn’t going to happen. The NHLPA won’t even allow it. Pat Brisson is the top agent in the NHL. He will certainly get maximum value for Petey. I still remember when the Sedins were in Sweden and Brian Burke was courting them to go to Toronto. They ended up signing in Vancouver not once but twice. Their last contract really put a dent into our overall cap structure. Honestly, if Petey signs at around $11.5 million in 4 years that number won’t seem that crazy. By that time you will have McDavid at $16 million. Which is pretty much the same spread they have right now give or take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jules play and he keeps getting better. Bodes well for the Canucks D. Amazing to think not that long ago, like last season, the Canucks D included the vaunted Stillman / Burroughs pairing. Not that they were bad, just that this years Canucks D core is just a WEE BIT better. Forgot to respond to that second part amigo... I wonder, how Stillman/ Burroughs pairing or other pairing that hasn't worked out over the years wild have done, with the staff we have now for the Dmen?

Goes to show the refs are making multiple split second decisions in a row to try and get the call right - not always successful of course, but then they are human as well. Ref #1: Crap, Trip by Miller ... they are down a player ... nice dive, too bad this isn't a pool ... 2 minutes for Miller / 2 minutes for the diving specialist ... nah, kill the momentum Devils have right now ... game almost over ... let them play ... cancel both out against each other ... play on ........... total time about 1 second.

Myers and Juulsen seems to have benefitted immensely from working with them? In my humble opinion, if we only drafted Matthew Tkachuk instead of OJ is the same argument or statement. Drafting MT could have led to not having Petey and/or Huggy. We didn't have Tocchet / Foote / Gonchar / etc. at the beginning of last year so anything I say (or anyone else) would be pure speculation. BUT, having Tic-Toc, Gonch and Footy would absolutely have elevated their game, however they weren't there and we have (thankfully in my ever so humble opinion) moved on to a bigger, better D.
