I don't know how you could possibly say that. We haven't played anything like a playoff series yet. Sounds like a great way to set yourself up for failure though. Certainly hope the team doesn't have that attitude. No kidding. I hate all this talk of this team being unstoppable and favourites in the playoffs. Like have these people even watched an NHL playoff series? Lol. This team hasn’t played one single playoff game together. Do I think they’re well built for POs and have as a good a chance as any other PO team. Yes. Am I crowning them champions at mid-point of the season? Hell no. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenalian Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 2 hours ago, tas said: it's wild to me that people haven't clued in yet that "shooting from everywhere" is the same as "turnovers from everywhere". No man TFEs are a totally different stat, that correlates to team’s confidence with the puck. If they’re turning it over regularly they’re obviously confident and making risky plays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point, though, is they've had a great stretch of games after a very poor start.........I'd expect they'll be excited. I get it's annoying though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems well-spoken in that interview. We gotta nickname this man Captain Obvious He says 'Obviously' about twice in every sentence in every presser I've heard since the trade was made lol Add to that what an obviously great fit he is for us, what an obviously brilliant trade it was and what and obvious difference he's gonna make to our chances to go deep in the post-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorvatToBaertschi Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 17 hours ago, PistolPete13 said: Ideaz fore MoRe ShOtZ to please the Standings deniers: 1. Stop hitting the post and crossbar. 2. when dumping puck into corner on a line change, shoot muffin on goalie instead. Plus shots means better team. Who cares if goalie might try a stretch pass. 3. When playing dump and chase, shoot puck at goalie instead. Might kill the play, but hey another SOG. 4. Stop passing so much. Just hammer the puck at the net at every opportunity. Or……….Just keep playing the way that you’re playing. Listen to your coaches and make the changes in your game that they suggest . There is a lot of Stanley Cup experience on that staff Weird thing I've noticed this year; They don't count them as shots if they're shot from the neutral zone or farther. Gotta be from the blue or closer to register. I think it's the dumbest thing because the goalie has to make the save, and we've seen goals come from all areas of the ice before.

Barn Burner Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 9 minutes ago, Bob Long said: thats fair, it was a heck of a run. Definitely a solid run, but in my opinion, it would have come with an asterisk. The Penguins won 17 straight in regulation. The Oinkers won two in OT and one in a SO. Not the same.

The Canucks are 18-2-4 in their last 24 games which I think is even more impressive considering their competition. There's nothing to be sour about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
