We're two games in and I'm debating whether I should watch games. I actually have a legitimate health issue (long covid) and I've noticed that positivity, mindset and optimism are incredibly important in the healing process. However during yesterday's game I got so amped up for the game, to see an effort like that was just an absolute wtf moment. I was furious over a stupid game, which is bad news for someone who is trying to heal.
The person I realized I was most angry at was myself. I bought all the BS, its a fresh start, its unfinished business, its this, its that. It was 100% BS. These guys are here to collect a paycheque and they don't care how many Philadelphia like teams walk all over them in the process. We the fans get ourselves hyped and convince ourselves this lineup is super strong and should be at least entertaining. Wellp. It wasn't even entertaining, honestly it was a slog getting through it.
Miller and Bo. Honestly, one more effort like that and they need to be in the press box, I don't even care if we lose 10-0 because at this point it would be less embarrassing than what we see with a mostly full lineup. There were other passengers but those guys are supposed to be our leaders. Bruce needs to kick their f***ing asses publicly, enough is enough.
I absolutely cannot believe Bo would betray his captaincy with these primadonna efforts and for what? Is he not wealthy enough? Is he jealous he wasn't signed first? I keep reading he's a "slow starter" well then that's a character issue and he needs to get lost. If we miss the playoffs I hope he scores 15 goals and gets a fraction of the AAV he falsely thought he was worth. One more "I'm still in the OHL" style deke and I'm turning the next game off. I honestly have loved Bo but he might not be the character guy I thought he was, in fact quite the opposite.
Jt. It's one thing to say he's going to become a better two way player and not even remotely try to be. Its another thing to come out and act like you're mad about it. Just own it - you're a one way player who's talented enough offensively to score 100 and yet NOBODY wanted you this offseason until the Canucks had to save face. Just come out and say it - "I wasn't good defensively but its not my job. I need to score, which I also sucked at yesterday". None of this "I can't believe how many goals I've been on for" LMAO. Watch the game tapes buddy, you we're giving 60% efforts in the D and neutral zone, OF COURSE THEY FILLED THE NET. And it will continue to happen, there is no reason now to believe otherwise.
