DSVII Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Tighter game than last time, I'm hoping for a 3-2, 4-2 win to prove we can play the defensive shutdown game against the league's best offenses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought I saw Canucks use their second PP unit first in those late opportunities, then give the number one until the remaining 30-40 seconds. Like seriously, what did McDavid want in that situation? For our 4th line to go out there? They’d probably start something and McDavid would have complained about that too. The guy really can be a whinny brat… he might play like a champion, but he doesn’t act like one. Maybe he doesn't see a difference between the units? Man you don't remember Crosby's whining all the time, it got so bad Lemieux had to talk to him. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Thank god we didn't have to hear that kind of pathetic talk when Sedin was our Captain... or others for that matter... you take it on the chin, own up and move along. Bet you the Canucks will be so much more fired up because of that greetin faced tosser.... On a side note, he was crying about us playing the reserve goalie in the third. So what is it? Are we playing too strong a side or are we playing too weak a side?? He is just a lame loser.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy really can be a whinny brat… he might play like a champion, but he doesn’t act like one. Which is why he'll never win a cup. Until he realizes he can't do it all himself. Ovi finally learned to play a team game and won a cup...which was a lot to do with Barry Trotz forcing him to play with others...Ovi went back to being Ovi after Trotz left and he'll never win another cup either if he keeps playing that way. Crosby is a great example of a true top end player who gets it. He's all about his team. Selfish hockey doesn't win championships, period. McWahwah can put up 150 points every year all he wants but if he doesn't learn to share the ice and spread things around more he'll never lead Edmonton to a cup. Nor any other team he may be on in the future. Edited October 14, 2023 by Attila Umbrus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hopefully Soucy is in. That would make the defense even more of a headache for the Soiled to deal with. Not to mention getting one past Demko. Skinner and Campbell are ripe for another blowout. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is extremely rich and hypocritical coming from the same team that played their EBUG in the final minutes of a game when it was 7-3 vs the Blackhawks last year to give someone a memory for the rest of their lives. They can dish it, but can't handle it. Tough cheese. As Mr. Burns would say. 1 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 It's been a while where the games in the first month of a season feel important. Gonna be a tough game, and players need to prove they can handle pressure better than last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its him trying to create bulletin board material for his team to draw anything to motivate them for tonight's game. Its a whole lot of nothing burger. The guy needs to develop more thicker skin.

SV. Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I think Edmonton bounces back, but I'm hoping the Canucks carry on with the same effort from last game. They need to make Edmonton work for a result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but Studnicka would have to go down first because he is up only on emergency recall basis. Once the team has 18 healthy skaters, he has to be sent down right away. Hirose going down would be more cap related issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ready for that. I want to savour that win and another would be a great way to start the year. A statement because the Oilers are touted to be there in the end of it all and we're not. This team doesn't get the respect it deserves but certainly earned some last game. I agree re the comments making last game more about the Oilers not performing well...this team did what they had to and it's time for people to acknowledge that. Go Canucks Go!!! I recorded the last half of game 1, and ended up skimming the GDT and PGT in the wee hours. It was a nice break from the predictable stream of trolling that ensues after a loss. This new site has lots of potential for better GDT’s /PGT’s. There’s a growing group that provide balanced observations (win or loss) like @JamesB and @The Duke. Condensed game gifs from @PhillipBlunt are always on point. There’s a slew of legacy CDC posters who’ve become more active again, and several new members (former lurkers, lol) that are welcome additions. Lot’s of passionate knowledgeable fans to make this place great, and really just 4-5 engaged in regular trolling / attention-seeking after a loss (Account -> Ignored Users). GCG!

The Duke Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Can’t wait for this one.. should be some fire works after the last game. Hope Demko is feeling better. We’ll likely need him on his game to take down a fired up McCrysaitl. Big test to see if the boys can maintain that effort and structure after the adrenaline of the home opener has worn off. Going 2-0 to start the year against the Coil would be fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
