Inkidu Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 58 minutes ago, TheGuardian said: Don't take this wrong, but what do you think hockey players think of first? Winning Making millions The Cup Teammates Fans Environment I selected those because it is really a combination of all of the above. They want to play (work) in an enjoyable environment. Their whole life has been competition. Due to the nature of a team's player structure some players will move more towards the making millions as their window closes, mostly the 3rd/4th line guys. The top line guys are the drivers for winning and once they become "professionals" team success diminishes And always remember the GM's first and most important job is to put bums in seats even if it means selling snake oil. I think we have a different definiton of what it means to be professional. And sometmes snake oil is all you've got so you do what you have to until you can get back on your feet.

Mando27 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I don't know what to expect from this season, all we can hope for is that the team comes out of the gate flying for once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbone Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Super excited for the season to start. But I'm keeping my expectations in check. 45 years as a Canuck fan will do that to a man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hughes' first "real" game as a captain of the Canucks. I'd love to hear his few pre-game words to the rest of the team. Hoping they come out of the gates fast, get an early goal, get the crowd into it. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm keeping my expectations in check. 45 years as a Canuck fan will do that to a man. I can't help myself; I'm starting to muse on a winning streak at the beginning of the season being a bad sign a few times several decades back... I started listening to the pre-NHL Canucks almost 60 years ago, but I don't remember the actual games from that far back. Once they got into the NHL, they had a few good starts that ended up being sources of angst and grief as they fell apart; or every February, but I watched them all. Back then CBC did not show anywhere near all the Canucks games; and they'd cut out for like, Don Messer's Jubilee, or some other such foolishness, without a thought for Canucks fans. I have a lot of vitriol from bad or crooked refereeing and treatment by the league over the years too. I hope we shed all that old crap this year and emerge the hard-working, in-your-face, tough and talented team that blows all that old voodoo bullshit away.

How could you not want to be part of the solution with a captain like Quinn, a goalie like Demko, and a vocal veteran leader like Miller? Lfg.

Very much like me. Came on board in earnest when the Russian Rocket joined the team. i can acknowledge all the crap going on still. But it seems to happen every season. I’m used to it. So I can’t let ruin the evening. I’m still counting on a little magic to happen. In spite of all the nay sayers (which probably includes me) GO CANUCKS (you @&$@#% aggravating sobs) GO!!!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jester13 Posted October 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2023 It's always hard to start a game after a ceremony, so it's an even bigger test for them to have a good start. And they've been sick... it's gut check time. Lfg. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
