CanuckDownUnder Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Important win. Hopefully a strong start to get up a couple goals to endure the grind that is an LA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) THE MARK OF Z https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/after-slow-start-with-canucks-lindholm-preparing-to-play-best-hockey-in-playoffs/ Zadorov got attention around the NHL, and especially in L.A., last week when he offered Sportsnet this assessment of the Kings’ ultra-conservative style: “They don’t really make plays; they just rim the puck and sit back all game. I mean, it’s their goal to don’t play hockey and don’t let the other team play hockey, pretty much.” After using their 1-3-1 retreat to frustrate the Canucks in a 3-2 win at Rogers Arena, the Kings moved on to Edmonton, where veteran defenceman Drew Doughty told reporters: “Pretty absurd comments. We’ve heard the frustration from so many top guys, in-game. Guys yelling at our bench: ‘What kind of hockey is this 1-3-1 crap?’ and whatnot. It puts a smile on our faces to frustrate them a little bit.” Apart from being one of the NHL’s best defencemen, Doughty is a chirper of renown on the ice. So, does Zadorov expect to get a Doughty headache on Saturday? “No, I’ve known him a long time,” Zadorov smiled. “He’s a good guy. I’m not worried about that.” The defenceman said he didn’t receive any blowback about his remarks. “I mean, it’s true,” he said. “But they’re very good at it.” Edited April 6 by The Arrogant Worms 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Don’t know if anyone else has watched any of the earlier games today, but you can definitely see the ramped up intensity as the playoffs approach. Our boys would be well advised to join the intensity party. Not seen it quite consistently enough for my liking of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted April 6 Popular Post Share Posted April 6 A team like Dallas demolishes Edmonton and then somehow loses to the Blackhawks. Thats why results this time of year don’t mean a whole lot. Yes you obviously want to ramp up for playoffs, but fans getting upset that we only beat the Yotes by one are hilarious. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with will or effort, or contract or "understanding his role" A 50% Petey is better than any of the 100% alternatives who could be called up or promoted to replace him I don't buy this "injured wrist theory". Everyone used it as an excuse in December.. then in January he's flying, getting himself voted into all star... no one says anything... now a month goes by where he is playing at 50% and everyone starts saying wrist injury again. Seems like a convenient excuse to bring up whenever he is struggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a convenient excuse to bring up whenever he is struggling. Sometimes there are nagging issues that aren't bad enough to prevent someone from playing but enough to hamper their play. In that case, though, I'd prefer they rest him until he's 100%. If that was the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked members here about its availability and was told it’s no longer produced and can only be found pre-owned on various classified sites such as Facebook. Do you know if that’s the case? I’d buy one in a heartbeat however I would prefer brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone did a mock up ... I've had that picture for awhile. But they certainly should, would sell like hotcakes. I have an old white skate jersey but it's well worn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
