The Canucks can't help but know how good Dallas is. IMO' it'll be a matter of knowing when to push it hard offensively, but also know when to take care of business in the D-zone. Hell, it's almost a coach's game of minds.. 15 minutes ago, IBatch said: Yes, think we have beaten them every game the past two years. Have their number. It's still a good litmus test. We aren't a team anyone will take lightly right now either. These are all the reasons why Canucks need to shut out the past, play for today. Just as the canucks are a different team this year, Dallas is too. And they know Demko is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-68 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Nice GDT @Chickenspear A much, much tougher test for the Canucks today so I predict the goal differential will be tighter than the Sharks game but the Canucks still win ... 9-1 Canucks j/k ... 4 - 2 with an empty netter by Petey Go Canucks Go Edited November 4, 2023 by Rocket-68 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igorwasgreat Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Let’s see the Canucks system against a tired but formidable opponent, a little adversity will be good for this team. I’ll wager 4-2 Canucks ( en) and by wager I mean only in spirit because I’m cheap af 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is about as complete a d-man as the Canucks could ever have dreamed of when selected after the legendary Zadina.

I hope they have fear. I dont want them to lose to Dallas, Boston, Vegas, or even Toronto because of "no fear". They need to have a bit of fear every game. Tocc seems to have done that, or we would be losing to the bottom feeding teams. The Philly and Tampa losses should be on thier minds today going up against Dallas.

Popular Post Combover Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2023 Canadas team vs Dallas 3 players top 5 in scoring I use to worry effort/game readiness and even what team would show up the lazy Canucks the Canucks the play down to the opposition or the guys that give 100% win or lose. Now under Toc (who I was a sceptical about) atleast in 9 of the 10 games it’s been the team that gives 100% for 60 minutes and doesnt sit back and fail to protect a 1 goal deficit. Players being held accountable which almost seems like a bad word in this new world. It’s been a refreshing start to this season. Should be a good game. 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder when rogers gonna realize im using 30 TB of HD on CANUCKS games and then Sportsnet will be told to have more coverage on the canucks, and the Refs offshore bank accounts will start to have canuck game earnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn and the Canucks would be happy with a 100+ point season - as would every Canuck fan out there. Through 10 games Huggy Bear has been averaging 1.6 points a game and I would wager he finishes the season well above 1 point a game, how much above, we shall see. He is on a mission this season having gotten the "C" on his jersey. Quote of the day 'Walking the blue-line and shooting, he’s got a couple of moves he worked on in the summer.

It's human nature to have a little fear in most things that you do. It keeps you aware to bad outcomes, losing control and making a clown of yourself. It's not a bad thing so long as it aids in one's preparation to do things. It's part of one's survival mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the mission with the 'C' ... it sure looks that way. Huggy is now a monster player in this league. It's obvious he's driven to be a great player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 2 hours ago, IBatch said: Insane - Orr and Coffey that is. It's also a testament to QHs. Honestly lost faith that we'd see this sort of scoring again. Housley just missed, think Borque might have been close too. Josi recently of course too, Potvin and others on the list a couple times too. To have one of our own is like having a unicorn (100 plus points). Will be the first to admit in the 80'a and 90's, had D envy lol. Wanted a guy like Al Mac, Potvin, Borque, Coffey, Robinson or a Chelios pretty bad. Know Orr is way too much to ask for. Think we get to play SJ four times this year lol, so expect six points (to hold the club record all on his own, right now he tied Brown), one of those games. QHs is already the best defenseman in club history, he also is making a case right now, as the best player we've ever had. For sure having one of the best seasons right now. Also should be considered untouchable by the other players now, like McDavid, draw a lot of penalties. Then go out and burn them. Adding a goal scoring element to his game...Does Aucion still hold the record for most goals in a season? Or was that just power play goals or both? On pace for 131 points is pretty amazing. Even taking the outlier games (EDM and SJ), make them 5-1 games instead, QHs is still well on his way to adding his name to a list of special HHOFers. Would you trade Quinn Hughes for Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitil straight up right now? How about Elias Pettersson? I don't think I would. Quinn and Petey are not even in their prime years yet, are not total dicks like the Edmonton bros, and actually know how to play defence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most points by a defenceman in one season in NHL history: Bobby Orr - 139 Paul Coffey - 138 Bobby Orr - 135 Paul Coffey - 126 Bobby Orr - 122 Paul Coffey - 121 Bobby Orr - 120 Bobby Orr - 117 Paul Coffey - 113 Paul Coffey - 103 Al MacInnis - 103 Brian Leetch - 102 Denis Potvin - 101 Bobby Orr - 101 Erik Karlsson - 101 Will Quinn Hughes get 131 points this season and make history? This is insane, the lvl all whole top six also is playing at! Hughes is another level this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
