GDT: HFboards GDT | 2/25/21 | Some games and a postponed postponed game

Yeah I'm sure tonight was the back breaker for him


Just one game against the oilers.

He’ll be fine. That won’t stop a little light hearted chirping though.

D men almost never progress linearly. I’ll give him 300-350 games before forming a hard opinion on the guy. D is such a difficult position and guys who men with mans strength and experience are what you want on your team.

Young guys time. Even Hedman took awhile before he became what he is. Look at a guy like Nurse, he had some growing pains as well but looks like a bona fide #1 D man.

Cant blame him. They put together a nice season last year, buoyed by a great goaltender, make a nice run and really had something to build on.

Then management let’s that goalie walk, along with your D partner. They put a lot of pressure on him and other young players.

Its pro sports. Players have expectations to give 100% even in losing situations. Seems like the Canucks have attitude issues on top of performance issues. Just a matter of time until Ottawa passes them in the standings.

 

[Breakers]

Pretty unimpressed with Nurse, didnt like his game 5v5 tonight

and not surprised the numbers show just that.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Keep trying,

the Canucks should keep trying, not giving up at slight adversity.

You seem to forget how many players floundered in Edmonton and went on to be better once they left that organization. This is a very “those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” scenario.

 

[Oilhawks]

Keep trying, you’ll get it one day

Not a core you can build around, sorry to break it to you.

You do remember you cheer for Edmonton, a team that ended up having the draft rules changed because they kept collecting first overalls?

the only difference between these franchises is Edmonton was a bottom feeder while Vancouver kept swirling in purgatory

actually I don't forget!

Petry
Gilbert
Cogliano
Talbot
Dubnyk

just to a name a few

Those teams were full of bums too. Taylor Hall is one of the biggest jokes in the NHL, especially when he's your "go" to guy.

Just because Edmonton had a lot of bad years does not mean I can't point out Vancouver character issues. Its not very "glass" house at all. One doesn't exclude the other and they aren't mutually exclusive. I also never claimed Edmonton was perfect. So maybe stop putting words in my mouth?

 

[Oilhawks]

Was it the reffing again tonight? LOL

The only thing that matters is a Cup. Maybe in another 40 years, friend.

This core didn’t get knocked out by Chicago in the play ins

resorting to "your team sucked too" arguments looks really good on you.

 

[Oilhawks]

Who said it was the reffing? Man, you're a garbage poster.

Sure were a lot of Vancouver posters last game that cried about the penalties. Do you remember? Thanks for the personal attack

 

[vanarchy]

I like Pulju's tenacity btw. He's carving out a decent comeback season.

Not all teams had the chance to get carried by the greatest to ever play the game. Keep living in the past

Don't bring up cups, We haven't won anything since 1990

So not this game at all? Right on.

you say it like its a bad thing

again, I see jealousy in your posts.

 

[Oilhawks]

But you're allowed to live in the past 10 years? That's rich.

Resorting? I’ve always stated both team are bad. Keep trying, you’ll get it one day

 

[Bizzare]

Besides many draft lotteries.

Sure, let's live in the present.

The one where Vancouver is shooting to the bottom of the division lol

One is over a quarter century ago, one is recent
