This season is so confusing. I love it when we win, I don't really mind when we lose... but I can't confidently predict which result is going to be better for the team's development in the long run.

...cause yeah, if we get top 5-10 we may get a Petterson or Hughes, or we may pick another Juolevi with this management group. No guarantees.

At least I am loving watching this young team grow and take steps forward. So lets go take another step gentlemen.

...also, screw the blues.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Easy win 6-3 Canucks. Let’s get a 9 game win streak going.

Remember when Ryan Oreilly said he was losing his passion for the game after all those losing seasons in Buffalo then got moved to a perennial playoff team in St. Louis?

6-1 Canucks, 4 goals by Boeser, and other goals by Gaudette and Hutton

You and RMB are so cute with your child-like naïveté.

Blues is a playoff team on paper
Except Jake Allen

 

[VanJack]

Blues are a cautionary tale about what can happen to a team new real quick in the current NHL. Seems like only yesterday they were being mentioned in the same breath as the Pens, Caps and Sharks as Stanley Cup contenders. But they missed the playoffs last year, and look poised to do it again.

Hard to understand really. They've got some solid pieces up front with Tarasenko, Schenn, Steen and O'Reilly; and their blueline anchored by Pietrangelo and Parayko is solid. Goaltending might be an issue, But this team proved to be a coach killer for Hitch and Mike Yeo.

Canucks should go back to Nilsson for this one. Could actually see a 4-2 win for the Canucks over the reeling Blues.

Id respond and say Im laughing at your insecurity, but then Id be on the same level as you. I wish you better and hope one day you can elevate yourself out of such condescending insecurity

 

[Serac]

Blues gonna come out strong to spite m2b

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Pettersson with three points. Who cares about the score.

I think the Blues have dressing room problems. Could be a factor.

Has to be a chemistry thing/dressing room problem as 'on paper' they *should* better than they are.

But who cares. Their loss is our gain ("W").

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Blues were a paper tiger a couple of years ago... nice to see the more time goes on, the less things change?

...did they at least finally get a 1st line center? ...is that what Ryan O'Reilly is supposed to be?

Buffalo looks all the better for it ironically. Maybe the losing was within O'Reilly all along?

Canucks are dysfunctional, too. I wonder if this Petterson kid is a problem. He's unfailingly polite and upbeat. I can see how that would wear on long time Canucks.

 

[Hansen]

wtf no saturday game

No Ragrets huh? Like not even a single letter?

 

[yvrtojfk]

I like how he can comprehend and put together the word condescending insecurity but doesn't know when people are being obviously sarcastic. This persona has gone on for years now I just don't buy it anymore.

Anyway Sunday 12pm game is tight.

No rugrats either

Only letters I'm interested in are a W and a C for Bo.

 

[Zombotron]

Wow. What a barnburner. Gap is now 3P and 1 ROW

 

[CalderSchmalder]

The good ol' days.
