tas Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 7 minutes ago, CanucksJay said: Tocchet coached OEL in Arizona too. He knows what he has in him. If he deemed OEL was worth buying out, I'll take his word. Can't argue with his success so far. Second guessing what seems to be near perfect coaching and management moves seems like we are looking for something to complain about when things are going well. that's called the "canucks army". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Big fan of what this management group and what they have done. Hronek trade and Hiring Tocchet are the biggest moves, but Ian Cole may be the best under the radar one. He has been a very solid defensive physical shut down RD on a risk free deal. He has been outstanding on the PK. 4 goals in 30 mins, with 2 of those 5-3 against the rangers. He has been outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 So, as nice as it is to see a team other than the Canucks on the receiving end of this for a change, blowouts like that get boring. There's no real tension or excitement. Makes me look at tomorrow night's game, I hope we win, but I also hope it's like leading by a goal with 2 minutes left and we score into an empty net with 5 seconds to go. A family friend is the back goalie to the backup goalies tomorrow night, gets to watch the game for free! Go Canucks Go! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Joshua has had some good work on the offensive zone too. About the same? We just don't like history repeating on bad starts. That's what makes this season so refreshing. The work ethic for everyone is so much better. I agree with your studnika observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieCanuckinUK Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 a nice change from previous years where they couldn't beat teams that they were supposed to beat... but now they are going to face some 'real' teams and we will see if Toccy has convert this team or not...

Warhippy Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Canucks: 2x scoring leaders in top 5 (one a defenseman) and 3 in the top 10 Leading defensive scorer and 2x defensemen in top 10 top 5 goalie for wins/save % 3 players top 10 for top 3 player for goals scored 3 players in top 3 for +/- and 6 in the top 10 league leaders for GF/G Top 2 for PP % League top 5 for GAA and Save % for goaltending duo Amazingly, only 3 players in the top 10 for PP points suggesting most production generated off of 5v5 play It's a super small 1 month sample size over 10 games with a .750 win % and the best goal differential in the league so far but the quality of competition hasn't exactly been the toughest in Oct with Tampa and NYR giving us the hardest overall games after Seattle. A loss to Philly to round it out. Nov is our litmus test IMO as it involves a lot of travel to the east and a spot stop at home here and there. We tend to do questionably on these road trips and our next game against Dallas with Vegas to end the month. If we can put it on against Ottawa and Montreal and just rack up the pints against San Jose and Anaheim during our stops against them and come out with even a .500 against our division in Nov we're favourites to make it to the playoffs because that level of lead against our division with the way Edmonton and Calgary have absolutely choked thus far giving us that cushion that can be almost insurmountable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bishopshodan Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 I think my new BFF is Lafferty I'm sorry to break up with JT but I think Deb and the gang can take it from here. I stood by his side through the cdc years and the epic thread when many were telling me Miller was... too old, would cost too much, was building a house in Pits, was terrible in the room, was a bad leader and, and, and... Well you're a prince now JT, I wish you the best. It's not , you it's me. Don't be jealous of Laff and I, you know I need get out there and meet new people. You have so many friends now, you will be good for years. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but to be fair, the Oilers and Preds have lost twice to us and would have better records if you took our games out. The Tampa game was pretty close and the Rangers one was an OT loss at the end of a long road trip through the east coast, which is the most impressive to me. That said, I am looking forward to how we deal with teams like Dallas, Vegas, and Colorado. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cali Canuck Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Last night was strangest Canucks game I've ever attended and it started before the game when we got to the SAP Center. We got there early and the gates weren't open yet. There were several gates available so I asked one the ushers "We're in section 101, which gate should we use?" He said "Which row?" I said "4". He said "Use this gate" which said "Lounge Access". I thought it was team store or something but no, it was member's only lounge with unlimited food and drinks. Food = Prime Rib & Rack of Lamb. Drinks = Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks. Just incredible in there, I at least 10 other Canucks fans there, I said hi to a few including a guy with the original Orca jersey & an a guy with a Pettersson Johnnie Canuck jersey. Below is "a shark tank" in the middle of room Edited November 3, 2023 by Cali Canuck typos 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's games like happened in Philadelphia that make me nuts. Here's hoping both Dallas goalies have to leave the game with nothing serious that would keep them out for more than that game and our family friend gets to may his NHL debut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Canuck Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Our tickets said row 4 but there was actually only 1 row between us the Canucks bench. This was just after the anthems were finished and before puck drop. They were actually a little too low, seeing through the Canucks bench was easy but the in the first and third period the Sharks coaches, trainers and sticks blocked the Sharks goal. I had to watch the replays of the first 4 goals to see who / how they were scored. After the 1st intermission we moved back to a couple aisle seats in row 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 So what is going on with Duclair? He was one of the best steals when he was a Panther. But 1 goal in 10 games? Yikes I would often argue that Duclair is the kind of deal/player the Canucks could use. Especially when comparing with Benning's signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkidu Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 7 hours ago, Jester13 said: In the Nashville game, Myers held back on three pinches early (he could've gotten to the puck first in all three, imo), so I'm guessing he's been told to stop thinking he's Bobby Orr or Quinn Hughes and just play steady defensive hockey. Yeah, it looked like he could get to the puck but with three guys around him a turnover was more than likely, given... Meyers. Maybe that's why he backed off--better than a 3 on 0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
