Can't lay another egg like the start vs Oilers and expect Demko to bail them out every game. Isn't DeSmith starting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haddy Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 8 hours ago, WHL rocks said: I'm not worried about trap games. Not only because all three opposing teams will play against us on 2nd game of back to back but also because our players will be pumped to show the eastern media their level of elite skill and effort.. We have some star players and they don't get much viewing in the eastern Canada because 3 hour time difference. No one in Toronto is going to watch Canucks game on TV starting at 10pm and finishint at 1am. So we don't get many eyeballs out east. The players know this and will wanna show up on this trip through Ottawa Toronto and Montreal. They're are a lot of media votes for NHL awards in that part of the country. Players want those awards. I recently read an article that mentioned Quinn as 'finally solidifying himself as a top 10 D'... and power rankings that had us at 13th in the league. The eastern media is clueless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linden had a longer term vision that involved building patiently. They weren’t aligned in their vision, never were. It was painful at the time, but in hindsight if we didn't have horrible start two seasons ago plus some thrown jerseys on the ice, Benning might still be our GM. Aquaman still doesn't have any appetite to rebuild, but at least he got someone who can finally retool properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 The Virtanen and OJ picks (#6 and #5 overall) really were a punch in the gut and certainly hampered our progress as a team. But it’s also incredible how much better that gut punch pain healed with a certain #5 pick (2017) and the #7 pick (2018). Talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse in terms of drafting. Thankful that Benning didn’t pull rank and screw up the Quinn Hughes pick. So for that I’ll say “Thank you Jim(bo)”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Canuck Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I watched the end of Sens/Leafs game. I think the Sens will be a tougher opponent than the Leafs. They started their good goalie (Woll) and still imploded in the third period. I also watched the first period of the Kings / Knights game. They play some big boy hockey, both will be a good test for the Canuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice_eight Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 We have to sweep the eastern Canada teams. Its doable, as long as we dont give up a ton of shots like the game against the Oilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but people need Linden to be the hero so Petey = Linden and Judd dramatically saving the day and Virtanen and Juolevi = Benning and Weisbrod overriding everyone to do something dumb. The truth is, our amateur scouting is the best it’s been in forever - and it started under the Benning managment group. I also like how Linden, who hired Benning (and Willie D) but then apparently got outmaneuvered behind the scenes by Benning (who’s dopily honest to a fault) - gets turned into some kind of tragic hero. At best, he looks every bit as incompetent as Benning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to go on record in saying this 3 game trip will prove to be tougher than some in here are saying it will be. These Sens are fast, with that German kid being a the top of the speed burner list. I’d like the player better if he didn’t dive like he was playing in the Bundesliga, lol.
