NucksNation Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We need an upgrade on Aman. He’s getting blown up like once a game now. Hopefully Bains slots in for him next game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We have the Avs, Bruins, and Kings x2 all coming up. These are playoff caliber teams. As the #1 team, we need to see and make bigger, better statements. End of story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 5 minutes ago, stawns said: I'm not talking about opponents where games aren't really meaningful, I'm talking about games against opponents you need to get through to win a cup. The Boston's, Winnipeg's and avs don't care about reg season games against teams like Calgary, especially now. Interesting. Both teams have plenty of Ws against bad teams and Ls against good teams. It would be stupid to take any game lightly at this time of year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to add greenway Me too Greenway is the definition of a prick but we need a guy like that on the 4th line. Åman is a fine depth piece but he's nowhere near physical enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , i know, it aint happening... I mean sure if we added a 1st and a couple of top prospects they might not laugh us away. Tuch is from the Buffalo area and is most likely going to be their next captain. Greenway is a much more realistic target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just last game people out there talking about this team lapping the NHL and now all of a sudden we suck again lol. Jekyll and Hyde. So funny. If you don't win every game we suck and it's all over. It almost seems like we should try to find a tougher league somewhere. 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farinush Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The top teams like Winnipeg, Vegas, Colorado and Boston all have Ls against each other. We’ve won against top teams and we’ve lost against top teams. This is not a concern 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up his stats again and they are better than I thought! i haven’t watched much of Greenway tbh. Can he hang with top 6 players? I think that’s where the physical presence is required the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to have a talented line up that is also well balanced and most importantly healthy at the right time. On top of that a good helping of luck is needed. I always point out that on any given Sunday a 'bad' team can beat a 'good' one. This is why hockey playoffs are a best of 7. People getting down because we lose a game now and again are being hard on themselves imo. We will not win them all..however, this year we have the best chance to win when it matters. We are a legit cup contender. you dont hold on to top spot this deep into a season without being in the conversation. Cant wait for the playoffs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They outshot, outhit them and were in the game until they lost composure...due to some really lopsided stuff. They could have won that game just as easily as lost it. Jets took over when the Canucks started losing the mental edge of the game - they'll fix that. It's not like we didn't stand up to them or they outplayed us. They outwitted us, with a little help from their friends refs. Even Huggy...who usually just runs around out there doing his thing. Outskating everyone. He lost it momentarily...went back with crosschecks and stuff. Threw him off his game. They won't always be able to do that. Jets played up to the refs. That's a bit of a tell right there....that their game plan relied on a bit of that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s where the physical presence is required the most. It would depend honestly. Just a few years ago he was highly touted and was a really strong middle six player so I'm not sure what happened. I think Tocchet could figure him out though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUSK v2.0 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 hours ago, Dr. Crossbar said: It's not that we can't beat top teams, it's that we didn't make big enough statements against Boston and Winnipeg as the #1 team in the league. Next up, the Avs, Bruins this coming week followed by two against the Kings. Hopefully we see those statements. It's a key stretch of measuring games in the schedule. All hope isn't lost. Learn and regroup. I think losing to these teams gives us an advantage in the playoffs. The other team will be over-confident and our guys will be hungry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
