If we indeed cursed, we need to do something about it, as Cubs fans did: " On April 1, 2011, a social enterprise called Reverse The Curse, dedicated to bringing innovations to poverty by giving goats to families in developing countries, was initiated.[24] The goats provide the families with milk, cheese, and alternative income to help lift them out of poverty. Reverse The Curse has expanded into reversing the "curses" that afflict the world's children in education and obesity. On February 25, 2012, a group of five Chicago Cubs fans calling themselves Crack the Curse set out on foot from Mesa, Arizona (home to the Cubs' spring training facilities) to Wrigley Field. They brought along a goat named Wrigley who they believed would be able to break the Curse of the Billy Goat upon arrival at Wrigley Field. Additionally, they attempted to raise $100,000 for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.[25]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_Billy_Goat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver has won a cup , the next one will be after Bettman is gone and Canadian teams are equal to teams in the states which hasn't been so since Betty took over.

Eh, I mean.. we're down one of our first line wingers and a solid defensemen, plus potentially our 4th line center who's supposed to help us out on our PK. So definitely not the start we want but hopefully it works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 If Blueger is out, I think we'll have a really tough time winning this one. He's a huge part of shutting down the Oilers, especially on the PK. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somethings wrong with his shot. I remember last year and the year before he'd be in the slot and couldn't even hit the net! It was crazy. Wide right by 5 feet? Coaches gotta fix him. 26 goals only in 141 NHL games?!?! sac re blue Edited October 11, 2023 by Hairy Kneel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like everything is in place for the usual start. "Multiple player health problems, Multiple injury problems, Roster uncertainty and turmoil, Difficult schedule." 1. It's a cold going around. 2. The major injury problem is from last year, Mikayev's knee. If it was me ltir until Jan. Heal it for good have him ready for the playoffs. 3. Stud is gone.Pearson is gone. Gave us cap room. Podz and Hogs haven't stood out like we hoped they would, but they are young. PDG and Lafferty are added grit, maybe Juulsen too. DeSmith looks like an improvement on back up. PK looks way better.

DeSmith looks like an improvement on back up. PK looks way better. Turmoil? 1) The team clearly doesn’t manage illness or it’s spread amongst staff well. It’s been know for days that players sick with flu have been interacting with others at practises and games. Now they don’t even know how deep it runs amongst the team and staff. 2) The Canucks have been fully aware of Mikayev’s injury for a year now. They chose to play him for months while injured assuming they had plenty of time for repair/rehab. They got that wrong too. Not available for training camp , not available for preseason, not available for regular season. Clearly mismanaged. 3) A bunch of what could have been’s and let’s hope they got it right’s. 4) Less than 24 hours prior to opening the season Garland reveals he wants out . That creates turmoil amongst the players. Suddenly , after preaching this team is all about playing for the crest and each other, a supposedly key player ( overpaid at 5m) wants no part of it. Now the team has to accommodate him with top 6 minutes in an effort to move him. None of the above circumstances lead to success and the Canucks could have better managed every aspect of it. It’s all typical Canucks never ending drama which will contribute to a losing record. Edited October 11, 2023 by Barnstorm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slegr Posted October 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I’m so tired of Sportsnet and other media outlets trashing on the Canucks. Friedman seems to get his jollies from it more and more. He wouldn’t share news like what he did with Garland with any Leaf player. I’m also sick of the Oilers. I want us to put up a bloody dog fight tomorrow, and if we lose, we lose. But how sweet it will be if we win.
