No I didn't follow any team or sport until the NHL Canucks came to be. I turned 12 that year and loved being able to have a team to cheer for. My father would torment me by saying "Why are you wasting your time on a team that will never win the cup". Sometimes when I would get to watch a game on T.V. and he would walk into the room and say"They will lose" and damn if he wasn't right more than he was wrong. But it just made me more loyal to the team. I wanted them to win more than ever just so I could torment him back. Now I just enjoy watching them play win or lose I almost forgot Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday and such.

And I'm getting the feeling Miller is going to have fantastic game. Just a feeling. Deb will enjoy that. Or its the 5G and flu shot/covid shot microbes that kicking in.

This guy is incredible, and his depth tonight is probably why we win. Canucks are so lucky to have him. Best attitude and always grinning and having fun. Seeing him at training camp earlier this year was such a gift - he was goofing around with so many guys. A perfect teammate. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Barnstorm Posted November 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2023 Kelly Hrudey will not appear on the panel or tv this weekend. He explained he’s feeling the black dog nipping at his heels and is going to step back for a bit to maintain his mental wellness. As much as I gripe about his opinions and team preferences he’s still a good person and openly admits his faults while actively supporting mental health. Feel brighter soon Kelly. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think things were more laid back,back then. You could be around players and appreciate what they did. I wouldn't even think about asking for an autograph. Now it seems players are more celebrity like. More hype and t.v. exposure. Now people want everything autographed. Sticks and Jerseys ect. Here I go. All though I do like most of "now a days" I really do miss especially the 70's and early eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've had an evening game so it would be early afternoon in Toronto.

He was seconds away from ending his life twice. Anyone who knows Kelly personally all have the same conclusion. The most genuine and nicest man in the world. I have never been the biggest fan of him professionally, but personally one of his biggest. Keep fighting it, don't let it win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 2 hours ago, JamesB said: Wolanin did not play for Abby last night, so he is definitely not healthy. Otherwise I could not understand why Hirose got the call-up instead of him. Friedman looked uncomfortable on the right side against Calgary. Myers and Hirose played together at times in preseason, so it makes sense to put them together. It would not make sense to put Hirose and Friedman together without any practice time. Once the Canucks get in a few practices, I would expect to see Hirose play with Friedman. Also, if Wolanin gets healthy, I would expect to see him get a shot. And waivers is not an issue. As Wolanin cleared waivers earlier in the season he can be brought up and sent back down without waivers as long as he does not stay up for 30 days or 10 games. So the Canucks could get a look at his game and make the call about whether to send him back without waivers or keep him on the team as 7th or 8th man. Yep, I definitely agree. Hopefully Hirose’s calm game works with Myers and Cole-Friedman can keep that early effectiveness they found. This is where the team and coaching staff have to show they’re not a flash in the pan. Little bit of adversity here a little tired and banged up coming off a 5 GA loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
