We were in the game the entire time, played well against a great team that we are often very close to. The broadcast showed stats about how even the two teams match up since 2011, we have been going toe to toe. Last night was no different, a close game, but the Canucks were the better team on the ice. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 9 minutes ago, arsenalian said: Fair enough. I just feel like this is a new team, new core, time for their own traditions to develop, but if others still love them, it’s all good. Is crazy P like Crazy George who used to be at the Lions games? Now there’s a blast from the past. Yes, but I loved George. It was different...he wasn't so IN YOUR FACE. Maybe it was the set up that didn't make him so glaring. P does get the crowd going...but standing on the stairs next to people trying to actually WATCH the game, his face red/veins bulging as he yells at us and bangs his drum? I find him SO annoying when he's up close and personal. In another section? Sure, go for it. But please don't interfere...blend in more. And he does a 7 Nation Army thing that, for me, is so lame.

Barn Burner Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 5 hours ago, IBatch said: The Sedins had two careers. One as reliable first line players, who eventually lost their speed and a supporting cast, the other half learning how to emerge into first line players. It's part of the reason those who've followed the team since they were drafted, know just how hard it is to find guys like Miller and EP. As for Miller, 99 is awfully close. Without checking, Bure twice (also scored 60 or so goals each time), then Mogilny, Naslund once (also just missed out on the Art Ross to Forsberg, was actually ahead all year, came down to the final couple games), then Hank (114?) then Daniel. Bure's goal scoring records seem safe. Hanks single season for sure is something either Miller or EP could challenge though. Funny thing ... pretty sure we have more 100 point plus guys then TO's had. Sittler? Gilmour for sure. Don't think Sundin ever did it there (did it with the Nords though)... Even pre-cap, these guys didn't grow on trees. Edit: Checked. TO Sittler had two in the 70's, and Gilmour had two in the 90's just as the dead puck era was creeping in. 92-93, 93-94, 127 points as their high bar. Remember Cherry gushing over him all the time, and felt he was the best player in the game back then. That was the only TO team that I liked, Clark was a beauty. It was nice to dispose of them in 94, also a testament, to how good the Canucks were. Barely put up a fight compared to CAL. Also, the 92-93 Leafs/LA series, was one of the best i've watched. Mathews has one (so far) too, giving them 5 total. Love that we've got them beat. And looking to add to that as well. Gilmour was one of the best two-way players at that time. But another reason why Cherry loved the guy so much is, they're both born in Kingston Ont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 Thing was, when the Bruins started looking to the refs for calls, I knew their game plan wasn't as strong as ours. Pasta, I'm looking at you. A few times I noticed it. Daddy's not there to help them anymore (Chara too...they were nasty dirty when he could back them up)...they're starting to reveal their weaknesses. Swayman lost his cocky swagger when we started crowding his space. I saw him take a few whacks before that....a page straight out of Thomas' playbook. I LOVED that we beat him and he shrivelled a bit. Big hug though dude. I love that Marchand was completely irrelevant last night too. And that they went 0/4 on the pp. I saw one shot from him and that was it. Loved that the crowd let him have it. So fun, wish I was at that game. HUGE props to my fav, JT. And Juuls too.....they hit hard that game. Half the hits attributed to the two of them. Let the Bruins feel that loss. 2 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TUSK v2.0 Posted February 25 Popular Post Share Posted February 25 11 hours ago, HKSR said: Agreed. If the Joshua-Blueger-Garland line became our defacto "4th line", we would dominate other teams. It looked like Lindholm/Garlund/Bains did that 3rd line to perfection. I wonder if Joshua comes back replacing Suter on Miller/Boeser. Suter looked a little better but just not getting away from checks with the puck in control like Joshua does. Actualy Lindholm had his best game I thought, with Garlund. just the eye test, no points to show but chemestry wise. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the game starts, get the heck out of the way! The canned noise thing is needed at times. But he's just way too over the top for me.

If JT, Huggy, and Demko are our best players, I don’t see how streaky Petey gets $12 million. JT can take over a game and carry the team on his back. Can Petey do that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 That wasn't weak west coast hippie hockey at all. Exactly the type of statement game they needed to make at the right time. They needed it. The fans needed it. It was important that we had that type of game as the #1 team in the league for the past few months. It just needed to happen and it did. Proud of this team. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't figure out his love of the Dallas Stars. Just because it was the Minnesota North Stars doesn't mean any loyalty should shift to the new city. I don't see people in Winnipeg cheering Arizona. Or Quebec City cheering for Colorado. Hell I don't even like the Canes, for moving from Hartford.

spook007 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Nucker67 said: Great to win another game, team looked thrilled. Good on the Canucks to bring back the Green Men, gave the game that playoff feel, although, these aren't the Bruins I remember. I was at the game. BOS had control of the first 2 periods, but then their offense disappeared and the Canucks crept back into it. Great to get the 2 points and to see EDM lose again. Bruins got hammered in the 3rd and it was only a shit hot keeper that kept them in it... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
