  1. To be fair, the Oilers were playing like a$$ at the start, but their team was loaded with talent and they were a Cup pick before season started. The Canucks were nowhere near projected to be where they are and don’t have the best two forwards in hockey. Tocchet will/should win the Adams.
  2. Look no further than Vancouver to see what a coaching change and a staff of very good assistants can do.
  3. Well put. In off season I try to move Skinner and retain whatever we have to within reason. If no trade, he has to be bought out. Tonight it looked like Cozens was not into it. Definitely need some vets who will ruffle feathers. Coaching staff has to change. An example of not being ready was tonight and to not call a timeout at 2, then 3 nothing is unacceptable. Feelings being hurt doesn’t matter either. UPL didn’t have it tonight and after 3 he should have been pulled. The game was salvageable at 3 and Levi playing well game them a chance. Off season is gonna be very interesting, or it should be.
  4. Katchouk giving g Dahlin the feigning head butt lol and Dahlin paid him no mind.
  5. I’m actually super surprised by this. Quite remarkable tbh. we should have two ourselves. UPL just didn’t have it tonight.
  6. Cozens and Dahlin looking very poor there. Good timeout by Granato……..oh wait
  7. When locker cleanout interviews take place I am curious to hear what injuries guys have been been carrying. I believe Tage has been dealing with that cheap kick he took against Boston when Mcavoy cut his leg. I bet it’s been bugging him all year, as is hos hand which Mcavoy also did. Ivthink some top players (Tuch) have had something abnormal and for longer than the usual “banged up” issues all players have.
  8. Owen Power is going to be a beauty but my goodness he shoots the puck like a grandpa
  9. lol the national anthem singer is sooooo bad in Calgary. Anyone, ANYONE can sing the anthem if they sing like him. So bad.
  10. We have a lot of solid pieces but I do believe we need better coaching all ‘round. I take the Canucks as an example. Tocchet took a team playing loosey goosey and brought in a coaching staff that were top level when they played. And they’re all in the same page. And the team has structure. I’m sure everyone likes DG but he’s too nice. They need discipline and structure and assistant coaches with clout. In Vancouver QH has Gonchar making suggestions or tweaks, and QH can respect that. In Buffalo we have Matt Ellis running the PP, a journeyman plug. Nobody is respecting his takes, nobody. Once coaching staff is sorted then it’s time to decide on making another hockey trade like CM for Byram. I’m not on board moving Power as defense is too easily given up on. We have 3 top defense now and we need to build around them. Moving some top prospects should start happening and possibly moving in from a TT for another more well-rounded forward should be considered. I believe someone like Krebs needs a top level coach to bring out his best. Many do. Will we make it next year? How can anyone know? But it’s easy to say no.
  11. UPL getting lit up. How bad was the team in front of him. Thank goodness I didn’t get that game the other night.
  12. Tough loss. My seats were 10 rows up in Canucks end. Tage almost had it and the puck was just not able to be tapped in. Dahlin goal was beauty and his slapper just about tied it at 2. Really poor decision to try wrap around by 12. Schedule makers didn’t help. Sabre didn’t quit. Canucks need to finish teams off or they are done round one. Levi was excellent. Was cool to see a 100%!different team than last time I saw them in 2012. Only Tyler Myers was a skater back then.
  13. Drove 5 hours to be at the game tonight. Great seats my son got me for Christmas. Canucks defensive zone face off dot, row 10 lower bowl. In the history of the cousins only a couple of wins separates the two teams head to head. I expect Van to come out flying but their issue has been holding leads so if we can minimize the damage we have a shot. Hope for a good game and an OT Sabres win!
  14. I’ll be there too. Me and my son. He’s gonna be wearing my vintage jacket, I’ll be rockin’ a new hoodie. Down low in Canucks end in section 119
