  1. We're finally outworking them (or at least working as hard as the opposition) and look at that... tie game.

     

    I was disappointed in the team effort (probably for the first time all year) in the EDM and VAN games. And the first two periods tonight continued that trend. But I like what happens when this backchecks and forces the play. Do you see what happens Warriors? See what happens when you mess with the Orphans?

  2. Always a fun time in Vancouver -- although we only win 1 of every 5.

     

    We looked like a really young team on the second night of a back-to-back in the middle of the west coast swing. Sluggish, a few good spurts here and there, and too many penalties. And when we did force turnovers, Miller was in perfect position. Really wish Moulson could've buried his breakaway.

     

    Eichel was mostly invisible, but I think Vancouver did a great job of taking away space whenever he touched the puck. It'll be a bit before he forces people to give him space. All in due time.

     

    Lackluster so far this year, Larsson surprised me last night. Looked feisty again. At some point he'll start scoring... I hope.

  3. I have no trouble admitting when I'm wrong. When I first saw the official roster I saw Dupuy and not being familiar I googled the kid. Grinder? Skeptical! He's not only been solid but is humble with the media and seems to have fired up this group. Tomorrow night vs the Marlies is Star Wars night. My wife is driving so I'm going as Darth Inebriated. Look for me. I'll be the one that's strong with the drunk side.

     

    It's a good costume to wear.

  4. The script was definitely bad. And they would have figured that out if they hadn't spent so much time worrying about how the movie was going to look. They must have taken every shot and then been like "man, this is gonna look great!" without giving any thought to whether it would be great. 

    For the prequels, Lucas heard that a golden rule of storytelling is, "show, don't tell." But he and his staff misinterpreted that to be, "Use CGI, don't use words."

     

    The originals had some exposition-heavy moments (mostly from Ben or ghost-Ben), but the only other telling was the opening crawl. From the time the words faded until the credits, all three films were pretty solid in showing us the story.

  5. Risto is still getting his game together this season, but it looks like the Locomotive is back on the rails. And I continually impressed by how effortless Pysyk looks -- just a poke here and a quick pass there, and we're back in control.

     

    I'd like the score to be 4-0 already... but then, maybe this is the period they press, make mistakes, and we begin to capitalize.
