If refs are calling retaliations, be aware of that and be disciplined........if they're calling stick infractions, keep your stick off a players stick or mid-section. If certain players on the opposition is struggling with a specific scenario (like a dman struggling on his inside turn etc) and exploit that problem What if they're not calling anything then suddenly they do? Which is often the case. You shouldn't have to monitor the refs...that's horsepoop. Teams should be able to just focus on the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Craig Simpson doing colour? The guy is an ex Oiler. WTF? 6 hours ago, BC_Hawk said: I'll take Cuthbert and Simpson/Debrusk all day long! Was dreading having to hear Singh shrill ever 2 minutes. To be right honest, I actually like Debrusk. Though he is a jug head, he knows when to speak and when to shut up, and his voice monotone I obviously would have preferred John Shorthouse, but anyone is better than having to listen to Harnarayan Singh. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckDownUnder Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 On 5/5/2024 at 7:25 PM, Miss Korea said: McDavid plays behind the net. He is going to force defenders and not the centre to cover that area. Guys like Hyman and Draisaitl will just wait for an open play while McDavid cooks. I don't think neutralizing Connor McDavid is going to be easy. True. Even knowing their plays, they will be hard to neutralize. They have to respect McDavid's speed which often frees up other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rip The Mesh Posted May 7 Popular Post Share Posted May 7 “I’m just as good as anyone. But if you’re really an elite defenceman, you have to be competing and at least be in the playoffs,” Hughes had told Postmedia of his definition of success. “I don’t think this is the peak for me at all.” And that’s saying something. Hughes, 24, is the Norris Trophy favourite for leading all blueliners with 92 points (17-75) and leading by example on and off the ice. He set personal and franchise records this season and made a seamless transition into the captaincy and fishbowl of scrutiny that comes with wearing the crown in a hockey-mad market. “I don’t know if we’re an underdog, or if anyone is expecting us to win,” said Hughes. “All I know is what I know. I’m just putting myself in a position where I’m prepared to play my best hockey. Everyone is trying to do that.” An improved defensive structure and penalty kill are crucial to stay in step with the Oilers. The Canucks became comfortable in close and low-event games this season. That didn’t happen in the past. They often waited for that other skate to drop. Not against the Predators. “We didn’t score too much and had our looks, especially in Game 6, and didn’t create as much as we normally do, but we didn’t give them much,” stressed Hughes. “Our goalies played great and we defended hard. We were comfortable and trusted our systems. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitter, bitter, bitter that his hometown Boston never ever picked him up or drafted him.

Rip The Mesh Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I get what Linden is trying to say, but I'm not too sure he has the pulse on the Canucks anymore. Everyone, including himself, knows Petey's in a slump. We do have other game breakers that can snatch the momentum; Quite a few of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
