cripplereh Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 My one favorite moment Tiger Williams skating ball the flames bench with stick out to slap all players on the flames bench! Also when Dion Phenuef or however you spell it got suckered in to a fight dropped his gloves amd tripped as our guy sat on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua.Guy Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I heard the pbp guy say you have to dress 8 regulars for preseason? Do we actually have 8 "regulars"..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 it's wild that in a 7-0 whooping, the only memorable hit we threw so far is the Sasson hit in the 1st period... that is depressing. they say teams take on the personality of the coaches but I aint seeing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must know we have to make a statement early in preseason. But nothing has changed and we will again have bad season. I am not expecting us to make playoffs but I just want to have a better start. Then we know we are improving! Preseason is meaningless in terms of how it represents or contrasts against the regular season. history has proven that time and time again. Calgary is simply trying to unify their roster after a dismal season and major internal strife. We are not in the same position. Folks need to keep in mind certain perspectives.

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 If I were the coach I would be questioning the drive of some of these players. You have a chance to pull away from your peers and you don't even bother to show up. Yikes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekker Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Games like this back in the day someone would be scrapping someone, especially in a blow out. Canucks in no way look to have any of that in their game. If your gonna dress an AHL preseason squad, at least dress some scrappers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey allows fighting. Down 7-0 you better find a dance partner and bop. Grab their most skilled player and make him go. This is the most loser group of Canucks I’ve ever seen. Fight for Gods sake!

We don't want to unify our roster that has had many dismal seasons in a row and has an all star center who's going to wait and see how we do before re-signing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 4 minutes ago, HorvatToBaertschi said: I’m confused. Here are 2 teams with tons of pressure on them this year. One of them is icing their lineup to get a head start on preparation. The other is having a training camp scrimmage for their farm team… For all this talk about needing to start strong…. Why are we icing this roster? First game and on the road. Nux will have last 3 games at home. I suspect those are likely near full lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
