Thank you, Victor…

So close…CLINK

UPL! Get some!

Really impressed with UPL these past few games. A very pleasant surprise.

Canucks are now 3-0 under Boudreau, taking their last 2 in shootouts. They look like a totally different team.

Fair points. But look at the teams he’s played on. He’s played on nothing but awful teams. He’s a quarter of the way through his fourth year and is already on his third coach. He’s never had anything really resembling a mentor and went straight from Sweden to 21 minutes a game in the NHL. The Sabres haven’t exactly put him in much of a position to succeed. Now, it’s entirely possible he’s just not cut out mentally for the NHL. Wouldn’t be the first #1 overall pick to prove to be that. However, my HOPE is that something can re-wire that brain of his and he can put it together. If he was 24 or 25, I’d say he is what he is. But he’s barely legal to buy a beer right now. When I was 21, I was a bonehead. My hope is that at some point in the near future, something “clicks” and he becomes the player he was supposed to be. Hell, I’d take 75% of that right now. I don’t know, I’m rambling and maybe just looking for a reason not to push my Dahlin 50th Anniversary jersey into the far depths of the closet.

Dahlin has the talent…you see flashes of it. He’s just very weak at the mental side of the game. That said, he is 21 years old. There’s still time for him to realize that potential…and it is vast. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating…I find myself focusing on his faults, too; just have to remind myself that there’s probably a pretty damn good player in there…just have to get his head screwed on right.

Finally get a couple of games of actually good goaltending and the offense goes to sleep. Rat farts.

KICK HIS ASS, SEABASS…err…COZENS!

Ugh, Dahlin…

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!

Murray, nice! He’s so bad lol.

I’m tuning in late, how has UPL looked?

Positives: at least we didn’t allow an empty-netter UPL looked solid i had a fantastic slice of raspberry cheesecake

Balls.

Bloody hell…just cannot get it in net.

Where was this energy the first two periods?

Butcher airmails two good looks.

Dammit! Finally had some good puck movement, crisp passing…just couldn’t bury one.

Nice puck movement..

Going on the PP. Huzzah?

How many errant passes have we belched out tonight?

You know, I think we might lack the talent to be a competitive NHL team...

Nice kill...

Scoreless after one.
