But I also have to imagine that a lot of the jitters from the inexperienced players on the Nucks will also be shaken off. I feel like this is going to be a tighter game and that it’s going to be even harder to pull the win out of this one. It was less than a week. A team of professional athletes does not get rusty in 6 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to show up and prove your worth Petey. We don't need reverse hits from you, we need goals. Well he's drawing most of the defensive attention, so he's freeing up other lines to play more freely and on the pp that allows Miller and Hughes more space on the left side 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know who the gamebreaker is. Dekey Pete doesn't need to score if he's nuetralizing another teams best line and freeing up other lines to do their thing. We saw this during the regular season too. Maybe we just need to put the same trust into the system, that the team seems to have on their system, line combo's, and assignments. NSH knows better than to poke the bear, yet anyways. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MathIsFun Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 Interesting how many people have referred to the Predator's last half of the season to the Canuck's last half of the season. Remember that three important players were out of the lineup for a lot of that second half. They were Lindholm, Joshua, and Demko. Look who the "Stars" were in game 1: Lindholm, Joshua and Demko! 3 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand the hate Kes got. He had complete control on where he wanted to go and he used it. He gave us his best years by far and destroyed his body for this team. 4 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal_thecup Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 3 minutes ago, Mackcanuck said: Yeah Baby! Thinkin' Miller will be First Star tonight (or at least be deserving of it). Joshua is not our top power forward. J. T. Miller is, and tonight's the night for the whole league to learn that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 min Major Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 thinking …. how good would it be to hear a record scratch through that old U2 and pound out some “back in black to fire up the boyz and the crowd…. give the team what they want skate jersey its time… perfect timing to make the permanent switch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure you can only use one home and one away jersey for the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have moved on, he was a very valuable member of the team, and is more humble than that schmozzle. Unless he is cheering for the Preds... then F.K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team can channel some Kesler energy in this game it’s gonna be a good one! $20 says he winds up the siren during pregame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around, and yeah he handcuffed where he went, and said he didn't want to be apart of a rebuilding bad team. Can't fault him for it. Was a mad at the time he didn't want to be here anymore, and that he wanted to go to a specific city limiting our negotiating power? Absolutely, but not mad enough to hate the guy for years on end lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reznor Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 17 minutes ago, Goal_thecup said: Maybe you weren't around for some of his behaviour as he left. It wasn't that he wanted to leave. I totally get that; he felt he had a couple of years left to contribute, and wanted to go for a cup. If he told management that and said: "Please send me to a contender", it would have been A-OK. Still self-serving, but understandably so. However, demanding he be traded to a specific team gave the Canucks zero negotiating power. He put his own desires ahead of that of ownership, the team, the coaches, the GM, and the fans. It was a very selfish move, and it pissed people off. At least from my own perspective, I don't hate the guy. He gave his all to this team while he was in Vancouver. But he cannot expect to be remembered fondly when the very last thing he did is screw the team. Everyone forgives at different speeds. Some never do. That's a fact of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
