Some how he has to find a way, to ease Hughes ice time, or he'll burn out... I think it's just a matter of some video coaching for juuls there. He played pretty well until then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really solid defensive dman. was actually surprised to see him score on the rush, as I though he'd get a nose bleed venturing too far over the blue line. To me he is the unsung hero of the season, and yes he will only improve with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're giving me permission to have an opinion? Thats mighty kind of you and mord than a little weird that you felt the need to declare that publicly So tell me then...what about the Canucks do you feel...in your opinion...are actually working well?

Aye, but his general play has improved plenty fold this season. I didn't think, he'd make it last season... he has definitely improved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatant embellishment should be an automatic 1 game suspension... its embarrashing and it ruins the value of the game as being tough sport.

If he'd missed it would have been unforgivable. We lost the game but if we kept playing we would win the series. We crushed them in just about every metric of predicting success. https://moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2023020860 what's that money ball quote Something like “Stats & tendencies will hold up over a 162 game season, but for one game, one at bat, you can throw statistics out the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no world where he jumps the queue and bumps someone out of the top six. There’s a third line in place who are skilled, polished, play drivers any of whom would get votes for the teams unsung hero this year. ABains will need to cut his teeth on the fourth line and there’s nothing to suggest he deserves a leg up on the incumbents there now. Maybe that time will come. I just don’t see it as now. I don't know about that. Both Aman and Lafferty have not been strong the last little while. A lot of fans questioning how we should upgrade that 4th line.

Spot on Hammer... I like, we are far more physical, than we used to be. Everybody buys into it and if a gaffe now and again is the consequence, so be it... I said way back yesterday, that Juulsen was the problems v Peg, even though he was singled out. Hell, he even scored one of our two goals... a 6th-7th dman, and he is supposed to be the reason we lost? The forward couldn't find a way through Hellenblablabla (can't spell his name), and that's where the dog was buried. We used to hear non stop stories about us only winning because of Demmer playing out of his skin, but all teams ride their goalies now and again. We are in a far better position than we've been in a long time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side Boeser and Mikheyev were our best fwds hopefully they can build on this as they haven't been very good lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they could slide Suter down the line up to replace Aman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 2 hours ago, Mike Vanderhoek said: Have to say the " can't hang with the big boys " narrative is so very lame and factually not even close to reality yet people feed into so easily. Almost as bad as the suggested " measuring stick " or " statement games " people seem to think the Canucks get psyched up for then fail miserably. Vancouver is near .610 winning percentage against those " statement game " opponents. The truth of it is, the Canucks were MAYBE supposed to push for a wild card spot if you asked anyone during the offseason. They have exploded this season under excellent coaching and management to the point they have expedited where they should be. Enjoy the games, the success whether it be a division banner, President's trophy, or Playoff success. Dont take it for granted and nitpick game by game results or false narratives about this team's standing in the league. The Canucks are playing .714 % winning hockey against the league, most teams are bringing their " A " games to try and beat our Canucks. The statement was made a long time ago. Mic drops... well said. enjoy it while it lasts... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pair him with a sniper maybe he finds chem with Hogs on our 4th. Bains Suter Hoglander could feast on weak matchups. Imagine our bottom 6 with the life line just shredding teams that are top heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, stawns said: I agree with that article......for better or worse, refs are human and each one is going to interpret every play differently. There's no escaping that fact. The only solution would be AI reffing, but would probably be a decade off and do we really want a game where every infraction is called? That would be unwatchable Happening in Football (soccer) now, and its a total pain in the butt... The amount of stopage for VAR to determine if there was a toenail off side, was the tackle clean, did it touch his arm etc etc... is taking the fun out of watching the game. Some of it, is not in the spirit of the game. I do, however welcome retrospective punishment, for embellishment in particular. It can be almost impossible for the game refs to determine if an elbow or a stick has touch the face, when the head snaps back... those clear embellishments should be worthy of a suspension (a game). Its totally against the spirit of the game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
