If Myers or his teammates recognize that issue and want to fix it, I’d say that shows more emotional security. And what he said is EXACTLY what a veteran leader would say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Let’s see what kind of game the Canucks play today. The dreams will say it’s just another game, they’ve done enough this year. It’s “adversity”, they’ll learn from this. The realists are thinking we’ve lost 4 damn games in a row and got our asses handed to us by Bruins couple weeks ago. We better come out hot today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Looking back at the post game and Tocchet's take on the previous loss to the Bruins, there are takeaways this time around ... First, as per Tocchet ... "it was a big game. These are big time games." No early shorthanded goals. Manage coverage mistakes. Better defending. Better connection. Better effort. Need guys to show up. Chase down pucks. Fight for space. Stay involved. Stay with staples. Ownership and accountability. Need to grow. When in big games, can't make mistakes. Need urgency.

OldFaithfulcap Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Obviously it's not a must win in that it has little bearing on anything besides a hypothetical tiebreaker but it is the chance to defy our recent history and beat them beantowners in our building and add another win against a top team. Historically yes i savour every win over marchand et al and it would be a fantastic way to stop a slide. The hockey gods do not practice karma however so i just want us to work hard and hopefully grab the win.

Popular Post -dlc- Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 It's really quite glaring when you look at things. In January, before the AS break, this team won 10 of 13 games. Got points in 12/13. Our last game was January 27 and the team was then set on ice for 10 days. They really had some rhythm going, then the plug was pulled. Came back to resume play on a road trip and traveling/playing every other night for 19 days. Throw a back to back in there. Adjusted times of our games to suit the entire world. Mornings on the road. Fun stuff. It's been quite a deal and yes, other teams have to do stuff too. I'm not sure of this magnitude though. Reffing's been ass. We really do miss Joshua in my opinion (quickly has become one of my favourites). He plays a tough game and brings a lot of energy. Sure, teams have to have depth and be able to deal with injury...but we're seeing how much of an impact he has (Soucy too). I hope Joshua sticks around with the team. Not excuses...but certainly stuff to keep in mind. Go Canucks. Let's quiet all the noise. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It's timely and key that Tocchet has been preaching about playing under pressure. He's been preparing the team for the intensity of the second half. Just like the previous game against the Bruins, we have to play better under pressure. We can't be undisciplined and take reckless penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksIn50 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Boston just announced the NHL players safety Committee has entered Marchand into the licking abuse program, he will still be allowed to play but will have to wear a licking prevention apparatus for the remainder of his career.

NucksNation Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Did everyone see Myers in front of the net when they pulled goalie last game? They should switch up pp even more and just rapid fire.

But we cant rest on that, we better cone out hot and not get our asses kicked. But if we do thats good cause we will learn and grow.

Thrago Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I have a bad feeling we are going to have a 7 game losing streak on our hands, I think next win will be against the Ducks. I hope I'm wrong but I've lost a lot of confidence in this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphouse Canuck Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bruins last 10 games have been pretty crap too. They lost twice to the Lames and to the Kraken so we are two struggling teams at the moment. They will certainly up their game. We have to up ours more.

Elias Pettersson Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 25 minutes ago, Jaimito said: This tells me that special teams for the most part is killing us right now. Good teams that are in a slump can still win games with their special teams. We aren't doing that right now, which is the main problem. The refs aren't helping either. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better come out hot today How about the in betweens....the real realists who know there's a balance between these two takes. We don't have to climb out onto the edge yet but we're also not there yet either. The realists that you speak of need to remember there were 55 games before those 4 losses and there are over 20 games to come? Those 4 games were a very small snippet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have a nice Greek salad and peach cider(s). I'm over winter comfort good and am craving fresh fruits/veggies. I'm also going to make cabbage rolls this weekend but likely tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
