I couldn't remember if push back had to be immediate or not.

It wasn't the same game . It was after the next game was way out of reach.

I don't remember if Hamonic responded in a one goal game either? ??

Like I said before if it is a close game get revenge in the last few seconds or at the end of the game.

I came into the season not caring about wins or losses as I expect a lot more of the latter than the former.
In this instance, I don't care they hung on for a victory. I understand what you're saying and winning is the best form of retribution.

But imo, in this case, in this season, from a young team trying to establish a new identity, physical pushback was needed.

I think is is exactly what most of us are saying. Quite simple really.

Everyone loves drama, no denying that. But you know I love more? A team with pride and a damn backbone.

I don't have an athletic subscription, so I don't know who the author is, or the date or times. Just reposting what is being dissected from the article from people online. What I posted is what I was able to see.

Fair enough, I don't know who reposted that section of the article but my point remains the same, whoever is posting only that is being selective to further their point.

I think push back is a stupid term, like asset management and development, and fans here glob on to anything they think will make them sound smart.

It was after EG got out of the penalty box two minutes later in a 0-0 game 5 minutes into the first period. (had to go look)

Perhaps at the moment the attack occurred, but one guy not involved in the play bodychecking a different guy also not in the play at some point later in the game doesn't solve anything. I mean, are you suggesting a Canuck player goes out and intentionally injure a skilled Panther player?

At least the narrative is moving from, we need to react so the league knows we won't stand for this and thus EP will be safe to a much more honest they got our guy, let's get theirs !!

If Gudbranson doesn't do this to Matheson in Van later this year I will be very angry at this team. I fully expect the team to hit him hard, a lot, and fight him/break his face like Gudbranson broke Hamonics face.

Deliberately attempt to injure? No.
Play physically during the play and instigate the pushing and shoving in between whistles. Face wash the skilled players until one of their players wants to do anything.
Talking sh!t and waiting until February is laughable. And to be honest, I won't give a sh!t if Florida misses the playoffs by 1 point. Seriously, it will provide zero satisfaction.

Yeah, I loved a team that was elite and soft



I hate a team that sucks ass and is soft


Didn't you always blame the Sedins for setting the country club culture? Looks like they weren't the ones holding the rest of the team back.....

I won't be arguing with that.

I would suggest not using him as a source if that is the way you feel.

When I heard Beags broke his wrist I figured it must have been in a fight.

I would suggest not using him as a source of that the way you feel.

had I known it was him, I wouldn't have read it in the first place tbh.

If you are going to start the riot please get the facts right . The nothing story we are talking about is Demko flying . Back to your anger again carry on.

Sunday hate is god's blessing you senseless hater of swedes.

Facts smacks

Retaliation?..we are still waiting for someone to tune up that little Rat Marchand.Rousell would be an instant league if he did.

I enjoy a difference of opinion with substance, no reason to deal in absolutes or get off topic. We feel differently, and i wouldnt debate it with you if i didnt want to hear your angle of it.

I guess your comment here threw me off.


I have come to terms with Canucks and Grit being an oxymoron .
