Happy with results doesn't necessarily mean happy with how they got there. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the fact that the players and coaches aren't satisfied with it means that the fans can be. we're in capable hands. there is absolutely zero value for a fan trying to find every little negative detail in an overwhelmingly positive situation. it is a toxic behaviour.

EdgarM Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 3 hours ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Boy what a game, you knew it was going to be a wild one against Toronto and usually is. Our similar trend of low shots, high quality shots and high shots against continues. Blowing a 3-0 lead is never fun but each component of our team came up big at different moments in this game. The Lotto line was really stifled 5-on-5, I wonder if we consider breaking them up soon. Garland and Hoglander were absolute beasts and it's good to see our depth guys carry us so many times this season which is the hallmark of good playoff teams. Gritty, hard-working playoff-type goals from them. Then finally our PP saves us at the end of the game with identical goals. Demko looked like trash to start the game, lets in two stinkers from distance, and then stands on his head in the last half of the game and ends up with 40+ saves out of nowhere but more impressively, gave up no rebounds when the Leafs were pushing late and just absorbed everything. He got better as the game went on. Big game, you could see how hyped the Canucks were for every goal, this felt like a wild playoff game and good to see the team come together, fight off some adversity and beat the Leafs. When we're giving up this many shots it looks like we're getting pumped, but Tocchet has them giving up lots of point shots/perimeter shots and our D do such a great job boxing out in front of the net that the opponents rarely get rebound opportunities. It'd be nice to have more control in these games and not lose it so much but can't complain about a 6-4 win. I felt the same way, this team is learning how to win in multiple ways, which is critical for success in the playoffs. Garland and Hogs are gamers, they come up big at the right times. Myers too, he is going to be a huge asset as a big physical D man that will compliment Zad, Soucy and Cole. Zadorov wow! I have always wished we could acquire a Dman like Pronger, Byfuglin or Chara. We have one now. The PP was also clutch, great to see but why was Suter on the #1 PP? A bit of a head shaker for me. I would like to see Hogs, Gar , Blue or Joshua on there before him, but oh well. I liked how Hrudey was saying that we are good but we won't go far in the playoffs because we lack playoff experience ,but what he doesn't realize is that this coaching group is showing these guys how to win in the playoffs in multiple ways. They are equiping them with the tools that are going to be needed in the post season and this is obvious by how the culture has changed dramatically. The big indication for me is look at almost every players personal stats and everyone has pretty much improved their own game with the exception of Kuz. That is pretty good. Myers, Garland, Boeser,Juulsen,Joshua are some of the obvious. Just look at some of the discussions about contract renewals and pretty much everyone was expected to get a raise because of their improved play. I don't think they operate like a fined tuned machine yet, but they have greatly improved and are definitely moving in the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This group has an old veteran manager with a proven winning history (Cups with two different teams as GM) as "overseer" for Alvin. That kind of luxory wasn't available as an "advisor" for Jim Benning. He had John Freaking Weisbrod. That doesn't mean Alvin can't make mistakes. Only from my POV, they'll have the benefit of the doubt from me for the foreseeable future. Edited January 21 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malibu Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 10 hours ago, Cuzzizzle said: One of those doesn’t have to go, boeser needs to go. He brings absolutely nothing to the table, the goals he scores are replaceable by lesser paid mediocre players like he is. To say he brings "absolutely nothing" is harsh. The only reason I would trade him is if there is a gm out there who would give up a top 6 forward who can keep up when the pace gets intense. After yesterdays game I would hope to strengthen the forwards over the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spook007 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 2 hours ago, Devron said: I usually agree but Myers physical play was a thing of beauty last night. Sticking up for Demko. Taking on all the leafs. I love it. I don’t think I wanna see Myers past this season but he been solid most of the year. When he has a bad game it’s usually just that. But I have to say he’s shown tremendous improvement under Tocchet I'll add to that, last time we were in playoffs, he was our best Dman... only bit of truculence... He got some cross checking penalties for that, but I want us to fight fire with fire... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser has never been an impact player, imo. He's an opportunist, he benefits from impact players, putting himself in good spots to capitalize. Fairly, he's doing a great job of it this year 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocking them does not work, no matter what some say. It’s crazy that those people get away with what they get away with over and over and are the source of the issues on here, yet those of us who call it out are the bad guys in some eyes and get warnings or banned! Talk about putting the cart before the horse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree , I was just thinking about players we accumulated from them, Lafferty/Mik and other players they gave up on(Hyman) as opposed to what we were able to acquire such as Blueger, Suter, Zadorov and Cole. We could have appeased Bo too , but we didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
