Title: Toronto a Go Go / Vancouver a ga ga goo
Post by: arimaBOATER on December 09, 2017, 10:39:08 PM
Had an insightful conversation. Chap was saying Toronto the good is now the CFL & MLS soccer champions. Bragging rights. He claimed with the Leafs win over the present Stanley Cup champions Pens 4-3 score tonight makes Toronto the favourites to win the Stanley Cup 17/18.  8)
Leafs have impressive wins in Dec. despite the terrible schedule. Leafs he claims have to play 5 games with only 2 in between off days & 4 games ( back to back ) the system is rigged against Toronto but he claims great teams can overcome.
Well at the 10 minute mark of the 3rd period Canucks were leading 2-1 & then the Flames put it in another gear. ( passing gear I guess ) final score 4-2 Flames.
Gee maybe it's time for wise Canadians to start cheering for the a Go Go up & up Canadian teams.
Lions another ga ga goo team fired 4 count them 4 coaches.
Toronto Grey Cup & now MLS champions...stay tuned. Maybe Stanley Cup Champions too?
Know the many Leafs fans in the west will be dancing in the streets. ( quick turnaround..they were bottom feeders & laughing stock only 2 yrs ago. Now...beat Pens tonight with all round effort.
What could I say to this chap? Could only nod my head in agreement. Facts are facts & I'm not talking about the fax machine.

Well that is a fact & I'm not talking about fax machine. Have to nod my head to this statement also.
Nevertheless winners want to get behind a winning Canadian team so one eye open for the Canucks & one eye closed on the possibility of cheering on the Go go team.
Vancouver has a recent history of not making the playoffs or not going very far. Europeans like to go see their families in the old country. Home sick.
Canucks will have to win 6/10 games or else they are fakers again. Floppers. They should of won their last 2 games.

Canucks 1 Jets 5
1 plus 5 = Canucks lose AGAIN.
Goalie let's in the first shot. ( deflectioned as it goes thru a maze of legs & skates )
Leafs scoring / Canucks are not
Leafs getting goaltending (like Johnny Bower style) / Canucks lately not ( invisible man style. )
Easy being a Leaf fan ( Chris is so happy I bet ) / not so being a Canuck fan.
Something tells me the Canucks are exhausted from the game they had with the Leafs  ;D
Beating them was like playing 3 extra periods of OT. Like a 120 minute game.

If it takes so much energy for the Canucks to beat the Leafs that means in a best of 7 the Canucks would win game 1 & then Leafs would breeze to winning the series 4 games to 1.
If this continues maybe we ( Canuck fans  ) can get the Canuck brass to buy the used paper bags from Toronto at a big discount. That means we could buy a bag for 5 cents instead of 25 cents. 20 cent savings at 8,-10,000 as that's all that will be going to the game. :o
Come on Canucks snap out of it. They are in a stale (ya stale too but meant to say stall) or spin & heading for the ground fast.
Advisor had better come up with a trick or two from up his sleeve.
Looks like Chris's Leafs lost the game vs Canucks....but not the battle.
Smoke cleared & Leafs are on a streak & Canucks limping along every since  >:( boo boo boo. )

Look for great things in the Canucks next game.
Rebuilding means winning at least 1 game after 3-4 loses.

;D ;D ;D How true ! ....but the next day ? (Eggnog have not had any this yr. great tasting but kinda sweet & rich. Good tasting food & beverage tends to be unhealthy ( junk food. )
One guy ate a lb of butter at a past job ( sawmill ) at work everyday.
Warned him that doing so was really bad for his heart health.
He laughed it off like "water off a duck's back". One day he did not come to work.
Yep heard he had a heart attack & was in the clouds above or down in the fire. Poor guy.
Leafs lose in Philly.
Great game in Chicago.
Panthers 2-1 in the 3rd.
7 minutes to go.
End to end skating the entire game.
The play by play guy also has so much emotion in his call. 
2-2 just now. Big horn going off.
Now that ...da a dat da da dat sound when the Hawks score.

I got me some tickets to the Nashville game tonight. I suspect Nillson to be in net as Markstrom has to launder the poop out of  his sheets from that poorformance in Winnepeg - plainly put, he sucked.Green has got to play Goldobin and give the kid a chance instead of letting him twist in the wind. Some of the things he does make me shake my head.

As a Canuck advisor, what changes are you planning to make after tonight's game ? You may have to grant Chris' wish of pepperoni on his pizza. ;D

Gee thought FA was the Canuck advisor ? I've been wrong before.
Ya so Nova any ideas to advise the Canucks ?

Maybe a third string goalie. Nillson also poo poo his paints tonight. ( actually a new baby in their house hold. Maybe the baby is crying too much & lack of sleep for the Mr & Mrs ...should play Nillson on away games. He should get better sleep with the baby in Vancouver.
Canucks are spinning their wheels. Torts must be laughing alittle bit but his team also got killed yesterday so badly that he took no questions after the game.  ;D

Advisor Nova please trade the twins & .....
Guess you all know FA Nova & myself are advisors of the Canucks.
Are the brown paper bags coming soon.
Fortunately in my employee contract I am the only pt time advisor.
When the Canucks win I was on duty & when they lose I was off duty.
Notice my pay check has been rather low lately  >:(
Nova you were at the disappointing game yesterday where the Canucks got destroyed.
Maybe ya got the same feeling leaving the rink as compared on how Chris did when Canucks beat Leafs.
Think the fans take the losses harder than the players.
Why?
The fans paid $$$$ & that $$$$ went into the players pockets.
Fan = a loss & also lost my $.
Player = a loss but got $ in my pocket regardless.

As the world turns /ball bounces / puck slides / Canucks get a W yahoo & google & msn & MSG ( rink or food chemical or new web search engine? )
Canucks are like Dr Jekle Mr Hyde. They sure had jump tonight.
Sharks normally in recent past have dominated the Canucks. They would physically pound them with heavy body checks & own the play.
Well the Sharks cannot hit what they cannot catch. 4-3.
Good entertaining game.
Leafs lose. Happy days are here again.  ;D

Flames played on Saturday / Canucks rested.
Sunday game the Canucks were just terrible.
Plus another injury?
Whack to the leg!!!! Looked like it was done on purpose.
Reminds me of Bobby Clarke whacks Russian ankle in the 72 series.
Goaltending is either great or the pits.
Tonight it is the pits.

I went to a Giants game on Sunday. There isn't a bad seat in the Langley event center. It was a treat to watch those peach fuzzed kids playing hard for the princely sum of $500 a month. Maybe some of those lard a$$ed grossly overpaid Canucks could learn something about playing with heart from them.

Title: Re: Toronto a Go Go / Vancouver a ga ga goo

Canucks allow another 7 goals. Time to bring up our other goalies. Canucks have two other talented guys. Guy who was with the Oilers 28 yrs old or so & a young guy who looks really good in pre season.
Maybe we can just trade Canucks for Leafs straight up. ;D
This way Chris can cheer on his Canuck / Leafs or Leafs Canucks.
Yes I agree with Nova that there are too many players on the Canucks who leave their lunch bucket at home. They seem to just go thru the motions. ( guarantee big $ win or lose the game )
Hard to bench players when they make their big big bucks. If I were coach believe me a lot of players would be benched to wake them up or allow them to re energize. Maybe the normal 80 plus schedule is too hard so ya just have them play 40 reg. season games. Play offs every 2nd game.
Something has to be done. Oh only if a Ernie Punch McLean old New Westminster Bruins was still around to be the head coach. One eye bandit would be the boss.
Canucks now have it too comfortable. ( imagine the Blackhawks head coach would go completely in orbit if his team played like the Canucks ...wishy washy )

"Chris is back" well his Maple Leafs are also. So is Matthews after a concussion. Must of been very minor as he sure came back quick.
Plus he got on the scoreboard.
Beating the Rangers in NYC is no small feat.
& our Canucks ...like a hit song being played on the radio " another loss...ya ya ya "
Sing it again.....ever since they beat the Leafs in early Dec after that it's been basically a big slide of losses with an odd odd win.
At least the Canucks had the game tied.  :o
Think even FA is so pissed at the Canucks he has lost hope. He never posts anymore. He always had something to spat about. "Fake news" or whatever.

It hurts all Canuck fans when our present Canucks are playing like 3-4-5-6 yr ago Leaf team.
( hope FA is doing ok? No medical issues? Have not a clue how old the guy is but he has 1000's of posts to this site thus he definitely is not too fresh out of the egg shell. )
Lions the craps Canucks the craps White Caps the craps.......Toronto ....Leafs are flying , Argos CFL 2017 Champions plus  TO is the MLS soccer Champions .........
Canucks need 3 intermissions I think per game...they lack concentration. 2 intermissions are just not enough.  ;D
O boy.

1- trade Gudbranson for a prospect and a draft pick. He doesn't want to be here.
2- sit Ericson out for a few games. That was a bonehead signing.A bull with a bosom
3- get a freaking goalie. Leaky and the Sieve are just plain pathetic.Back ups at best.
4- sit out whoever doesn't put some effort. They don't deserve playing time.
5 - no mean. Lost a lot with Dorsett gone.John Scott is available  ;)
6 - Dump Edler. Stupid penalties, indifferent play. Might get something worth while near trade deadline.
7 - Why is Gaunce here? It certainly isn't his puck smarts.

On the plus side- Boeser is amazing, Alex Biega is playing the best hockey of his career, Virtanen seems to be waking up, Pouliott shows some promise,Troy Stetcher is gold, Goldobin needs more playing time.

And that my friends is some needed steps. :)

I'm fine A-BOATER. Thanks for your concern. Been very busy talking to Santa what to bring the Canucks in the new year. As well, I've been in touch with Novabonker with what changes need to be made. The results of our brainstorming can be summarized in Novabonker's post. (see above)

Good to see your ok FA.
As for Nova's post & you both brain storming together I have to admit those are very logical ideas on the players.  As mentioned lots of crap players on the team as well as goaltending has really gone downhill. Average goaltending just does not cut it these days in the NHL. These guys have been below average even.
Wonder if Dorsett could be added as an assit. coach. He may have that certain personality / character that will motivate players to play better. Imagine Dorsett standing behind players at the bench. They will be thinking "I better put out & skate hard on the ice or else because Dorsett is looking at our play.

May I take this time to wish all members & Rodney Nina & family a Merry Christ mas & safe healthy & happy 2018.  :)

Believed in miracles for a long time but FA only confirmed the fact. He wished all Canuck fans & "LEAF FANS a Merry Christmas.
For FA to include Leaf fans that 's a genuine miracle in my books.  ;D

Nice to see Chris's post after an absence.

EDIT IN : Leafs have impressed me.
They have a greedy nose for the net. The way they buzz around shooting,passing & shooting, players going for rebounds,players in front of the net they give themselves chances to possibly get 4-5 goals per game.
Canucks shoot & no one looking for rebounds , no one infront of the net on & on seems to be the norm.
One of the many additions the Leaf has on their team that has fit in so good is Pattrick Marleau.
Leafs look like they are a very positive team via body communication & the Canucks radiate kinda a gloomy vib.
Someone has to step up & lead the way.

That's a relief.
Honestly thought maybe ya accidently mixed some medication/pills with alcohol or possibly misread the label & downed the entire bottle of cough medicine.
But as you stated all it took was some red wine...gee FA deep in his heart has a soft spot for hockey fans of any NHL team ( well Canucks & Leafs at least )  ;)

Seen a tv sports story of Coach Travis Green getting tough at the Canucks practise. He was chatting it up & sorta scolding some players during the practise.
His patience is over so it's whip time. Players have been coasting lately.
Blackhawks are going to be a big challenge.
There's a team that normally plays hard game in & game out. Very seldom do they have a stinker game.
Would not miss this game for a million $. ( oops just lied )

Leafs lost their last game 4-3 (Colorado Avalanche ) in OT.
Canucks lost tonight 4-3 against LA Kings in regulation time.
Net result Leafs get a pt & Canucks no cigar  ;D
Kings hit the post on shots as did the Canucks.
Good effort by the Canucks but they were overpowered.
Kings could of scored 3 more goals easily in this game but Markstrom really played solid.
LA are big physical fast for their size skilled & talented.
In the playoffs if they get tested in each series they possibly may wear out being bigger guys. ( run outta gas ) 
Leafs are going to play Vegas on Sunday. Not a given. Lots of very good teams in the NHL this year.

I keep having the nagging sight of how many unfinished checks the Canucks aren't making and the dump and chase baloney.They need to step up and play a little more physically - ie Ben Hutton flattening Dustin Brown. I'm hoping this is the Sedin's swan song as the cap space that would free up might help a lot for next year. They were practically invisible last night as was Ericson. I'm a big Sedin fan but there comes a time when it's past due to hang them up. Ericszon was a huge mistake. I disagree on Markstrom as he's a decent back up at best. He soils the sheets more than steals a game. And about that 7 LA players oin the ice.....the zebras need some "coaching"

If LA Kings decided to give out heavy body checks the Canucks injury roster would of had 3-5 more players added to it. Canucks knew better than to stir the hornet's nest.
Agreed Markstrom over all has not played very good for a lot of the season but his last two outings he has been sharp.
Sedins must go. They are not a Jagar G Howe or Chris Chelios type. Free up the $$$ as you stated.
They keep bringing in guys like Ericson & Ryan Miller ( ex Canuck goalie shipped to the Ducks ) & spend big bucks only to see below average results. Total flop.
You are so right on those pts.
Since coach Green blasted his men they have played much better. Sutter is another guy who gets big $ but he seems to be injured a lot.  Better drink more milk & egg whites. Toughen his bones.
Canucks to beat the good NHL teams they have to play in their very highest gear while the other team is matching their effort playing at 90% output.
The Canucks need an European sized rink so they can have the extra room to max. their speed advantage over the other team. On the NHL small rink size it takes the perfect play for them to score.
Most of the time against the top teams they get out muscled & out hit.
Conclusion: this current team is not going far into the playoffs should they get there.

A goalie would be nice. This game I was watching was embarrassing. Nillson needed a soccer ball instead of a puck. Seems he was more than a little pi$$ed off when he got pulled and stomped down to the dressing room. He looked terrible and Markstrom ain't a grand improvement.Finally some tough from Michael Chaput and he gets the decision on that one.  Stetcher, Goldobin, and I gotta give the first star to Chaput for 3 canuck stars. Say what you want about Dorsett, he kept the other team honest and less likely to enjoy liberties. If Chaput really wants to step up, good on him as there's a need for some sandpaper.All in all this is a poorly executed, disjointed, disorganized and lacking effort.Over now thankfully, I don't drink but I'm considering the glass of red wine you gents speak so fondly of.

Ex Canucks ( 3 of them ) & rest of a Duck gang & add in a very poor outing by our goalie & it's 5-0.
Ducks are very positional players. Canucks were rushed to make plays & shots. That's why Miller looked so good. He just had to stay in the net & play the angles.
When he was a Canuck he 'd be flopping, he'd over react on plays & be 5 ft to the side of the net...
Plus when he was our #1 goalie he had the pressure on his shoulders. On the Ducks he is the back up & Gibson is the #1 guy.
Kesler forward Biexa defense ( sp? ) are physical guys & play with attitude.
Nillson looked really awkward. He flopped a lot & was outta position. He's a minor leaguer & not ready for the NHL pressure.
Wife just had a baby so maybe the kid is crying in the middle of the night. Not proper sleep possibly.
Nillson may be better in road games where he had a sleep at the hotel.
When the Canucks had the puck in the Duck zone they just had zero time to set up. Ducks were on them like sticky fly paper. When the Canuck had the puck at the blue line the Duck player would be on him so he had to pass it away quickly.
Ryan Miller played it cool & relaxed & was always in position. Canucks play the same game which is skate & pass & shoot. To get the Ducks off there positional play the Canucks needed to throw some heavy body checks but they just do not have the big physical guys to do it.
Toronto were goo goo ga ga also in their game. No goals for them either.
Edit In:
Nova --- ya these Canucks will even get the non drinker to consider a glass or two  ;D
Recommend a $15-$16 red wine Merlot French wine.
Or a Pinot Noir French Red wine same price range.

This is a subject of great debate. In short I'd say as long as there's alcohol in the bottle "yes it will do"
But do as I do...wear white gloves. Open the bottle. Nice clean wine glass. Pour a few ounces into glass.
Swirl the wine ( in glass ) Sniff the wine & smell the aroma. Take a swig I mean taste. Swish the wine in your mouth & crave the taste on tongue & swallow & feel the bliss.
& if the game goes like the Ducks game vs Canucks 5-0 forget the above. Take off the gloves & put the glass in sink & grab bottle & tilt & slosh back the wine to calm one's negative emotions of another disappointing loss. If you feel you have had enough wine after drinking 1/3 of the bottle just remember the Canucks have lost 3 times in the Stanley Cup Finals. This will give the feeling to drink 2/3 of the bottle. With 1/3 of the bottle left think of when the Canucks beat Toronto in early December 2017 ( when the Leafs had way more scoring chances but just could not finish on the plays. ) The memory of that great win by the Canucks over the Leafs should give one the feeling ( you guessed it ) to nearly finish the rest of the 1/3 of the bottle. Very important to leave at least a drop or two in the bottle.
This way when you go to bed you have peace of mind that you did not drink the entire bottle  ;D
Drink lots of milk ( 1/3 to 1/2 jug of milk over the night when you wake up...helps to partly prevent hang over. )

I take it Chris had not much interest in spending time watching two bad teams & Cole's play calling.
Think he expressed his feelings very clearly. Ouch !
Well that bad team beat your team in December & tied Leafs after regulation time. Think that makes the Canucks Stanley Cup contenders :)
As for Bob Cole you(s) may be correct. Mind you Danny Galivan ( sp?) & Jim Robson ( oh ya is it Hewitt the guy who called Canada vs Russia '72 ) were my favourites & everyone less just does not appeal to me.
3 bad goals let in by Nillson the Canuck goalie tonight though he did make good stops on other shots.
Far shot that was deflected by an inch. Hugged the post thus shooter had lots of space to slap it in on the far side. He lost his angle from where the shooter took the shot.
Plus he kicked out a rebound to a Hab player in the slot & it was returned right into the net.
Nillson just looked unbalanced or unset to me. Markstrom is 10x better than him.
Chris plays badminton. Honestly that game is not as physical as tennis but it still gives a person a good workout. Bending reaching,moving....
Canucks better get their mogo working soon. >:(

Badminton was a good work out and I get more exercise than when I played hockey, many moons ago. I donot remember much but my last year i got the hattrick and many hats were on the ice.lol

I even played with one of Phil Gaglardi  boys Bob Gaglardi; and against Harry Jerome who was a great guy. I once gave him a bad body check and was concerned I would have affected his running ability. He was a fast skater too.

 4 of us played a 7 game set of games all but one close and we won 4 of the 7. Glad I went to badminton as the game got worse after I turned the game off. FA will get his wish, a high draft pick, for a few years. Time to trade the Sedins for more draft picks as they are done too.
Title: Re: Toronto a Go Go / Vancouver a ga ga goo
Post by: arimaBOATER on January 07, 2018, 11:36:38 PM
Chris good ya did not seriously injury Harry Jerome because if ya did ...The Sun headlines read:
"Harry Jerome seriously injuried in hockey game "
Storyline goes ...Chris body checked Harry Jerome along the boards which many said was a dirty hit.
Others stated it was a clean hit. For the record no penalty was called on the play....
Kidding aside Jerome was a black guy & ran the mile in under 4 minutes in the 50's & has a statue on the PNE grounds ...think I'm right on this info. Popped in my head.
Phil Gaglardi nicknamed Flying Phil I think because he got lots of speeding tickets. He was also the BC highways minister. He had a sister I believe Mary Gaglardi & she was the head pastor for many years at the Glad Tidings church ( gospel ) on Fraser near Kingsway. (Van) something weird happened as she just left her position.  Churchgoers were stunned. No goodbyes or nothing. Jimmy Pattison attended there for many many moons even as a kid into adulthood. Have no idea if he goes there now.
Ya have mixed with some well known people there Chris.

And Nova having a puck signed by Paul Henderson. Wow that is a treasure. That whole series had Canada spellbound. Was it 8 games or best of 7 ? 8 games sounds better. 4 in Canada & 4 in the USSR. Students watching the game in the classroom. The series kinda got the same attention in Canada as the first man on the moon or Pearl Harbour attack or sinking of the Titanic...
In Canada had the Russians get a big lead in the series & most thought there is no way Canada could win the series as it shifted over seas.
Henderson scored big goals in the last two games. Winning ones. Told Pete M to get off the ice & he jumps on. Imagine that happening today ? Only the coach gets the line change orders,not a player !!!

Ha he's now a Bible thumper & has been one for years.
He told a story that he was reading a Bible on a bus full of his teammates but he had a Playboy mag on the outside of the Bible.
He did not want his teammates to know at that time he was reading scripture. Years after he told everyone about his faith / belief.
Heard he had cancer a few years ago & got better ? Guess he's still alive. Hope so.
 How Canada came back to win the series was an uphill struggle for sure. Can still see Alan Eagleson the lawyer getting trouble in the stands with Russians & then being transported across the ice by someone to save his butt .. ;D
As it turns out in coming years Eagleson was not a trusted hockey agent...oh the good old days has lots of stories. Russian hockey rink was huge too. Lots of room for those Russians to skate & make plays.
What a series. 
Only goal by Orr scoring against the Blues or the Great One Wayne G passing to Mario L. for a goal in the Canada Cup comes to mind & those goals is not as big as Henderson's winner in Russia. Game. 8 I guess it was.

Canucks lose to Caps. Did not even know about that game so missed it. (going to miss a game it might as well be a loss. ) score normally indicates how the teams played.
Canucks only scored 1 goal so imagine they played the pits.
Leafs lose again. What? Against a tired Sen team.
Leafs are playing good to keep games close but jo cigar in recent games.
Argos changed their foot ware during half time & they had better traction on the snowy field. Played a part in their upset win over the Stamps.
Maybe the Leafs should wear roller skates.  :o
Time for the jockey ( coach ) to take out his whip.
Come to think of it both TO & Canuck jockey need to up their volume abit.
Coaches get a bullhorn.  "Now hear this....  " ( volume on high )

Good idea! 2x good idea. Infact FA & I should confront Chris & look him right in the eyes. FA you stare at his left eye & I'll stare him in his right eye. Then we will both suggest for him to put in his resignation.
If he says: no then will tell him we will go to the Leaf management & demand Chris gets FIRED.
(Actually maybe not a good idea....Chris may respond with sign language. One middle finger.)
Or he may try to kick us in the butt when we leave.

Good the Blue Jackets played the night before. & they looked a bit tired.
Canucks rested & were ready to go go go...
Horvat conditioning may be not so good. Ankle injury thus he cannot do any cardio work outs.
Hope he does not smoke cigs or pot.
If so he 'll really be sucking oxygen when he returns.

I missed last nights tilt, but tonight was some pretty darn good hockey. It's fantastic to see Horvat back and not looking too rusty.Nillson looked good. And you're dead on with the pretty passes ABs. The last time I checked pucks don't wrinkle twine unless they're directed on the net. The Jets are looking pretty darn good though and I found myself counting a few times thinking they had 7 guys out there because of that stifling checking.Better effort.

I'd like to give a speech or two to the LA player who cross checked our Canuck rookie sniper into the boards. At least he went to the sin bin & rookie cashed in.

Actually I was at the game last night and it was a joy to behold. Everything seemed to click and even Spicolli swatted a pair. Boeser continues to impress, even after the cheap shot. The best revenge is a wicked slapper and bulging twine.

That rat ^$$st#$% Marchand got away with a 5 game holiday for concussing Johanson with an elbow. That crap needs to be taken out of the game and with his checkered past 10 to 20 games might have got the message across, but the worst parts are letting him play in the all star game and his claims of "I don't know what happened".
Title: Re: Toronto a Go Go / Vancouver a ga ga goo
Post by: arimaBOATER on January 25, 2018, 02:29:10 PM
Marchand is a great player & he needs to clean up his act. Was it an accidental or on purpose elbow to the head?
Most believe it was on purpose. Boston fans believe it was accidental.
Marchant may not have too many players talking to him in the All Star weekend. Give him the silent treatment. It sends a message that's louder than words. Gee my wife uses that trick sometimes.
I use it too. Ha! Life.
Wow you got to see the game.
Only if it was game 7 of the Stanley Cup.
Original 6 NHL Stanley Cup winners brag they won the Cup.
Gee big deal. Only 6 teams.
That means the odds are a team should win it every 6 yrs.
Winning the Cup nowadays is something a team can really brag about. 30-31 teams ...16 teams in play offs...last team standing after 4 hard fought best of 7.

What on earth is a shuttlecock? Ah google tells all. A birdie !!!
Oh a birdie,now I know what it is.
Krutov the tank did not work out so well with the Canucks. Liked all the food in Canada as he was out of shape plus he was like LaFleur the flower. He skated all over the ice but at least the flower had speed so being out of position he could reset & get back up ice...
Ironically Krutov died shortly after the special Red Army was filmed. Hey FA it was on Knowledge Ch. You must get it too.
Gee when I check the Leaf results lately they are getting wins. When I check in & watch the Canucks lose lose lose. 3 in a row. Where are our snipers ? Play good 1-2 games then go MIA missing in action for next several games.
Maybe team has the flu bug ?
Vegas tonight against Sharks are looking like a well tuned Russian world championship team. Great passes puck control on & on creative play... & they are a 1st yr expansion team !!! This had to be a first.
Canucks must have the flu bug or they are just lazy bones. Remember the Calgary coach in practise yelled at his team even though they got a W the night before. Coach ranted & threw his stick into the seats. Flames have played very well since. That day the coach became the jockey of the team.
We fans should boo the crap out of the Canucks if they are losing at home. Keep booing...maybe they will be embarrassed & put it in another gear ...then we will cheer !!!!

I bet Chris secretly has the Leafs play it & look at the results. Leafs are winning more than losing.
Box of shuttlecocks on the way to Vancouver rink.
Did you see what Vegas is doing on the ice. Sometimes the forwards approach the blue line they will back pass the puck to the defenseman & he then skates fast over the line or the forward back passing the puck & forwards wheel around & get the pass back ...exactly what the Russians do.

Last day on trades.
3 guys. Should of traded Ericksson & Nilsson goalie ( sp?)
Guess twins are here to stay. No trade clause plus it seems the press is pushing they play another year.
Greedy people want the NHL to stop for 2-3 weeks to supply the Olympics. Agree with NHL pres. & not a good idea. Injuries plus too long a break in NHL. Canadian team has a bronze so still least it's a medal.

But your right it is too long plus all the playoff games for a team that add on 20 or more games on average. Have to be in the top 10 teams so all the players get on board to go for it.
Players know if they have some weak links on their team so they are happy just winning 1-2 series.
Team makes it look good to pacify the crowd.

Hard earned point tonight.
In the Avs game ( one game ago. ) it was close 3-1 empty net goal in a Canuck loss. But Markstrom let in a sharp angle goal. Very weak let in.
Tonight in a home game Markstrom pulled & Nilsson let in questionable goals...
If we had a steady Eddy in goal this team would get a he_ _ of a lot more wins. Bring in the goalies from the farm teams. Markstrom cannot handle being the no 1 goalie. Every 4th game he performs below average, 1 game great, 2 games passable...then comes that poor game.
We got a point. As far as the rest of the team. They looked good!!!

I would like to see NHL players in Olympics. The season is waay too long as it is. They can easily reduce the schedule to 65 games. Greedy owners.
Of course the season is long for you backing such a terrible team. :P :D :D

Ouch !!!
This post hurts us Vancouver fans because as they say "the truth hurts".
FA dug in his pocketful of comebacks & found his favourite one. Game 7 of Bruins & Leafs. That's an Ouch too !!!
But Canucks lose tonight after a two zippo lead. Can we get any key saves? Lose in OT.
Nashville Bible Thumper comes out of retirement & even gets a goal.
Thought the Canucks had a big edge in play in the 2nd period.
Another hard earned point.
Canucks been at 3 Stanley Cup finals & zippo. If they get into a 4th finals it will be 4 zippos if they cannot get better stoppers. The guys work their butts off only for the opposition to shoot & score.  >:(

Is he the stopper in the farm team. If that's the guy did see him play in pre season & he is really tuned in on the play & has great reactions & balance. Both farm goalies would be so great improvement over the two present guys. Maybe next season the change will be made.

Hope our sniper is not injured badly. Bench door open & he hit awkwardly. Looked to be a hip or knee.

Canucks lost again to Wild last night. Again terrible goaltending. Even FA did not post his comment so you know he's given up on the Canucks. Soon fans will have to be paid to go to the game with efforts like that. For starters get some goalies in their that are not Mr Magoo types.
On the other hand the Leafs are flying. TO are a Go Go....full of energy.
Leading the Pens 3-0 with another period to go.

Please folks do not go & buy a ticket. Wait till they decide to actually put their thinking cap on & their work boots. Only suckers will pay for 1/2 hearted effort.
Boo ! Boo ! Boo ! Twins please retire so the team will get some young legs  & change goalies & with the pick Canucks can reinvent themselves quickly. Next year oh ya!

So imagine Canucks lost.
If they came back  & won I'll eat my underwear. Shorts. ( as punishment for being wrong )
Think it's time as a true Canadian to start cheering on the Maple Leafs.
Boo Canucks. This team just will not go any where. In one yr or 10 yrs. Our grave stones. We lived to 100 years old & we hoped the Canucks would be champs at one point. Oh well I'll keep watching the Canucks from heaven for the next 100 yrs via heavenly cable tv. Maybe just maybe...

Did the Canucks lose again? Yes.
5 straight games. What is new? They were in a losing streak every year. Nearly two weeks went by before they got a win in 2018. We lose one player rookie Boesor & the team folds up & can't score!!!
In 5 games they have scored a total grand total of 3 goals !!!!!!
Last 3 games zero goals !!!!
The Canucks must be cursed or something. 1 key player injured & the team self destructs.
Are there any players who are making millions per year step it up ?
Vegas Knights an expansion team to top it all off is having a great season.
Canucks a ga ga goo. They would have to give me free season tickets & a limo ride & free bottle of red wine before I would go & watch them live. After a pitiful performance think I'd need a 2 bottle to wash away the losing lacklustre effort. Boo boo boo boo boo boo.
Fans should chip in $5 & bus in a few 100 opera singers. Pay them to boo the team during the 60 minutes of play. Boooooooooooo Booooooooooooo Booooooooooooo encore encore ok Booooooooooo Boo

I dunno - Green might not be the right captain for the good ship Canuck. EVERY game a lazy Sedin penalty or 2. 14 million freed up in cap space if they retire at the end of the season. A lot of decent UFA's to hit the market in the summer.

FA Let's say I had nearly 4 glasses & rode stationary exercise bike & headphones ( Elvis you tube vids )
Must of did the trick because today feeling better.
The Canucks are at rock bottom & laughing stock of the league so no where to go but up. Yes a pick will do us good. As long it does not turn out to be like the Dale Talon pick.
Agree Nova Green just seems he has lost any control on this team. Forwards are playing terrible.
Possibly players just do not want to play here. Too much travel.
It's a long haul 80 plus games. & then playoffs...takes a very special player to stand up to that grind.
Hard on soul mind & body. Wear out.

May as well tank in earnest now and get a shot at the top pick.And with the goalies they need to look at this list and pick someone serviceable from the list. There's a surplus of UFA goalies. I don't think either Markstrom or Nillson have shown Jack $hite this season. Markstrom at best is a back up, Nillson not so much.

By that post sure got FA head outta the sand.
His explanation is he's making the Canucks great again!
Works for Pres. Trump.
Yes Nova we need better goalies. We have 2 goalies in the farm system that would be 100x better than what we have now. $$ issue/contracts so Canucks are trying not to waste $$$ they paid these guys. They have not panned out. Jets paid big $$$ for a goalie this season & he's bombed. Think he's on the bench most nights or is he still on the team.
Even B Orr Espo The Flower The Great One the R Rocket, Mr Hockey's ghost Mario Jean B, Henderson, Tiger could help our team. We need a super pick.

Notice how the coach's & the Canuck brass are not getting very upset. Coach Green even said how the Canucks are playing with energy & soon the goal production will increase.
Yes but he'd forgetting the name of the game is to score more than the other team. Even if Canucks score 3 what good is it if the other team scores 4-5 goals. Honestly Nova since this is a lost season ( miss the playoffs ) the Canucks are just trying to make it look good out on the ice & are liking the losses.
They want better odds in the draft plain & simple. But it's hard to watch a team performing like they have. Zombies. Hot & cold. Most times lazy no effort or brain offensive system. They may get 4-5 goals & then their heads swell the size of water melons like " How good we are " then they land on the snake tail & go for a slide down. ( snake & ladders board game idea. )
Leafs lose after a 3 goal lead ?????? That should not happen in a million years.
Is their any other team in Canada to cheer for in the playoffs incase the Leafs get the exit early? Ottawa maybe ...

Canucks playing better when there's no chance to get to the playoffs. See what they can do with no pressure. Plus they know their vacation is just ahead.
Playoff teams go into the battle & war...other non playoff teams get their sun glasses & golf clubs.

Sabres are playing smart ( better ga ga goo effort ) as they look like the bottom feeders at season end.
Canuck players started to win & lessen their odds of a top pick.
Another W last night.
Why did they not play like this before?
Simply now they know the playoffs will be missed & they got their nice 5 month holiday.
Now with some wins they are simply trying to save some face.
They have pulled the wool over the Canuck fans eyes & any fan that cheers these guys on is a SUCKER.
You cheer on this team & it's like cheering on a jockey racing a jackass my friend my friend.
Maple Leafs definately has Jockey in charge & he's riding a Race Horse.

Finally Demko got his chance - and he played very well for a rookie tossed into the , um , shark tank. Goldobin is starting to hit his stride, Gaudette has a big upside and throw in Boeser, well it's a bright future with the others coming up through the ranks. Now get rid of the Sedins and Edler and nab a few decent free agents and it may be sooner rather than later.

100x you said it all. Can't add a thing. Maybe if this Nova advice is followed we just may have a team worthy to cheer for. ( this year we're SUCKERS if we cheer for them ..too many rotten apples in barrel...next yr if they TRY sincerely game in & game out ..it they will get my Go Canucks Go Go Canucks Go Go Canucks Go....this year with so many non effort games it was more of Go home Canucks Give me 1/2 at least a refund as only 1/2 team is trying. )  ;D ;D ;D

Gotta say I'm sorry to see the twins retire, even though I thought it was time. There goes two of the classiest and skilled players ever to grace the Canucks uniform. When I heard the news, I felt like someone close to me had passed on.

However
On the bright side, 14 million in cap space can buy a few studs.Next mission - Ericson and Edler......

Sorry FA in my last post before this one mentioned you & Chris hardly post anymore ...ha!
Then I see your post after. "Egg on my face" I was trying to stir the pot. ( sh_ _)
Yep FA future is looking bright.
Yes Nova I agree. Classy & skilled. Too bad about game 7 in finals. Only big disappointment.
Plus both had most points in the NHL ..near 2009 or 2010.
Both retire within total 20-30 pts of each other. Shows how evenly matched these guys were.
Agree it's time & free up the $$$ & have the new leaders take over.
Only thing the Canucks lacked during their 17 yr career was another great player & more of an outspoken player. Twins were too laid back for my liking. Too quiet. Sometimes leaders need to speak up. Guess they thought that's the coach's job only. But in the interview they could say " We are playing awful for whatever reason? " "We as players on this team should look in the mirror"
Something like that.
Ok I think the Canucks just may crank it up next season. Draft pick should help.

Vegas is a good team & for their first yr in the league. But what about those Canucks scoring 3x in the 3rd period to tie the game 4-4.
Tie game so nothing wrong with that as still tied after 5 minute OT. Vegas gets the bonus pt.
Nova FA mojoman I truly think the Canucks are going to do much better next year.
Pres. & GM were sitting next to each other & ya could see they were really tuned in. These guys hearts are in it. Next up Avs. & should be a special night. Last home game.
