Same with Grapes....although I won't go there because both of them needed to be canned. One guy slithered through the cracks there. Spineless. Exactly.

Rocket-68 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 25 minutes ago, -dlc- said: Our team needs to learn how the big bad Jets get calls. We're on a pp, but they get away with murder because, well, our guys don't try to sell it. It's called having self respect. No puck here, just two guys sandwiching Petey. Then taking him down totally out of the play. Nothing. Good job refs. What is really impressive about the refs is their ability to blatantly ignore stuff that's literally happening right in front of them. Like this fun little 2 hander. Oh, and Petey's still being kept out of the play, but hey....Jets wanna win. Refs get away with some really terrible bodies of work. Lay off the refs, how do you know he didn't have his eyes closed for a full 30 seconds straight thus missed the entire play .... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I'd say this is the best officiating we've probably ever seen.......a lot of the people complaining either weren't alive, were too young or just didn't watch a lot of hockey way back........you want to talk about refs with personal vendettas The officiating in the 80's was laughable. By today's standards there were times where there more missed calls per shift than whole games now. Old tape of players like Ken Linseman are amazing to watch to see what they got away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys smoked and drank in the dressing room too. More of a beer league feel than the game today. But whataboutism isn't welcome (or so I thought....see: "double standards"). What about back then?

Popular Post CanucksJay Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 2 hours ago, DrJockitch said: We are a big team. this isn’t Benning’s team anymore. Speed and size across the board is what PA has brought in. He has brought in what 2 players that aren’t big, Suter and Hronek. We need to stop this silliness that we need to add a goon every time we loose. Goons win fights but loose hockey games. I agree. We don't need goons but we need guys that are harder to play against. Yesterday we were the better team. A couple of poor calls by the refs falling for some dives and poor PK along with an anemic PP sunk us. I think I want to see something else tried besides Aman. He is a poor man's Mikheyev. I don't think I want guys on this team that intentionally slows down right before impact when they are on the forecheck. They don't even have to be big, look at how Hogz comes in and hits ppl. Aman slows down and rides them gently into the boards. Most of the time, he doesn't win puck possession so basically he doesn't hit and doesn't win pucks. However, he is usually in the right spots defensively. That's not good enough for me. I want someone to crash and bang and make the defensemen fear puck retrievals. Aman does not do that. We need a Raffi Torres type guy on our 4th. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimmyparttwo Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 33 minutes ago, BC_Hawk said: Aman and PDG don’t offer the same skill set as Bains. Asking the team to go acquire scoring depth that fits the system while a few players in the AHL meet the mold is just ridiculous. Bains slotting into sheltered minutes with Aman in the press box will not cost us a game or two Agreed. ABains offers a different, more polished skill set. This is the fourth line we’re talking about though. It’s prevention first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love Juice, I kind of really hate that he's part of that clique now. I know he has to be professional but Ron deserves zero respect from anyone who's ever played for this team. Juice is just having fun imo so I don't worry too much about it. Ron showed his character with the burr incident and how he took getting berated by cherry for years.

It’s prevention first. Does it really need to be the 4th line? We have a bunch of guys that can play that role to give him some shifts on the 3rd or 2nd line for a couple games. We are team that tries to play balanced minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
