Popular Post spook007 Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 Benn too busy reading other posts so didn't get to make my own comments... Garland was an absolute monster out there yesterday... everywhere on the ice Boeser,... is this really the same Brock, who has been wearing the no. 6 shirt the last few season? I see the flow, but man is he ever invested. Great on the boards, positionally sound to break up plays and still getting into scoring positions... Magic. And finally Hronek.... The boy is worth everything they gave up in the trade for him... What a great trade. 12 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattJVD Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 Loved Miller passing the EN goal to Phill DG. He had an angle, could have easily shot it himself but wants his line mate to get rewarded with some points. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducklover Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 If we can't afford Desmith for another year perhaps trade him at the deadline, to someone willing to sign him, rather than let him become a UFA. That way we can ensure Edmonton doesn't get him. Muhahah ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him extending here at normal numbers. Remember folks he is a backup, at best 1B. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really frustrating to lose a game, where, you afterwards see, its a clear off side... I know, I have lamented numerous refs for calls missed In soccer it's the same. It's created by fans and press alike, and the focus on referees and missed calls. Now they get the calls correct right down to where the question is did he cut his toe nails this morning.... And its so annoying sitting waiting for confirmation for 2-4min, while they figure it out... It actually takes out the spirit of the game, I think, but you can't have it both ways.... Id rather have the offsides, which is or isn't, called back than goalie interference, which is subjective even on replay. I'd like to see them improve the tech and utilize AI to improve the process.......same with pucks crossing the goal line 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CanucksJay Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Both teams came out hard. I felt like MTL had a slight edge in the first but canucks played well and didn't panic. Started taking over in the second period. The bottom 6 looked much better tonight and was skating really well. I think it might partially have to do with seeing Hogs go to the press box and seeing Bleuger draw in. Hogs has been playing relatively well so this probably put the pressure on everyone else to step up their game because it could have easily been any of the following (Garland, Joshua or Beau) that sat instead of Hogz. Bleuger looked really good minus a couple bad turnovers. A lot has been said about Garland but I was very impressed by Anthony Beauvillier tonight. I thought he skated really well. Made smart plays, had some really nice chances and was positionally sound and didn't give the opposition much. Also thought Brock had a great game. The guy is skating so well now. He is no longer a defensive liability and plays both ends of the ice well. Maybe playing with Miller and seeing Millsy transform into a great 2 way player rubbed off on Brock. When Brock is moving like this, he is a really good player worthy of his contract. JT Miller. That guy is so dependable. He's really playing like one of the best players in the league. Big, physical, fast, strong, committed to solid 2 way play, and got the skills. RT keeps saying how unselfish Miller is about personal success as he's all in and fully invested in the team. The empty net pass to PDG was a prime example of that. The guy is playing like an absolute stud. I can't wait to play the Isles and watch Miller own Horvat. We kept the right guy. Even in the loss to the Leafs, Miller was a beast I thought. Lastly, Juulsen. I was critical of him in the first period but when looking at the big picture he played really well. He's a 7D type of guy and when framing expectations from that standpoint, the guy is fine. It does make me think we need another top 4 D though so we can mix and match the 2nd and 3rd pairing between Cole, Soucy, Myers and X (whoever we can get that can carry a 2nd pairing). I thought that'd be Hronek but that guy is too good and the chemistry with him and Hughes has been amazing. If we can pull off another trade like that, I think it would out us over the top.

That contract will be tricky to keep this offseason, but right now he’s a legit top 6 guy driving some good bottom 6 players in Suter and Joshua.

Not sure it was a first but it was awesome...My Dad took ne to the airport to see it when I was nary more then a sprout.. That’s a great photo. Boeing 727. Aft air stairs used for boarding/disembarking when typical stairs not available. This is the same model of aircraft that our very own “DB Cooper” hijacked and escaped via parachute by deploying the aft stairs in flight and simply walking down to the last step and launching himself into the dark night. The plane had to be below 10,000 ft and de-pressurized to enable the opening of the interior door which gives access to the air stairs. As a result of the incident Boeing outfitted every 727 with a simple but effective latch that is deployed by the airstream surrounding the aircraft in flight. Wind force acts upon a vane surface and moves the latch into locked position. Upon arrival gravity allows the latch to unlock. Technically the teams fly charter as opposed to commercial. Charter flights restrict who is onboard whereas commercial flights are generally open to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oilers would be all over DeSmith right now. True, but then they would run him out of town, too. Most goalies aren't worth much if the 5 guys in front don't play proper hockey, and that hasn't been happening in Edmonton for years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backup needs to win at least 2-4 games in a playoff run to the finals. Especially if there's any injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
