that's not the types of players you win with. you need to think like a hockey player...

the players were all in a circle huddled together in the dressing room. each straining closely to hear the words that were coming from the man in the middle of the room. it was as if the young players were hearing words brought down by god himself.

"...and then i turned around and looked up. i didn't notice at first but then as it got closer, i knew. I FRICKEN KNEW BOYS. IT WAS HAPPENING. this is what i've played my whole career for. hell, this is what we all play for and it was happening right now!!!! and then it happend. and I MELTED. just melted and it felt like when i was a child. it felt just like what it felt like when my mom hugged me.

yes boys, a hug from ovie is like being 5 years old and being hugged by your mom. i can only hope to have that again someday..." he said as he looked wistfully away. it may have been the lighting but a few players saw tears forming in the big man's eyes.

jay beagle had recounted the story many, many times before but the boys in the room would always ask him to retell it. and he surely would... just as surely as the tears would fill his eyes when he remembered... the hug.

That’s so fucking inspirational.

Hope they turn it into a movie... “The Hug: more than just a hockey story”

Hey, I’ve been much happier with Graovac, Hawryluk, Lind, Vesey, Michaelis, etc. than the overpaid bunch we had previously. You don’t need to spend $20M on the bottom two lines to get production. Those players don’t play more than 10 minutes per game under Green’s system so they should be paid proportionally.

lol all good if you are willing to wait until a few of those get to 'Tyler Motte' status

You forgot Boyd.

Boyd was the “etc.”

Not high on Motte at all. We need a bottom six who are young, big, and can stay healthy because the franchise’s organizational depth is so poor. It’s no coincidence that the Canuck’s best seasons coincide with their healthiest seasons.

There's a lot of those on the Canucks.

Watched the highlights checked the event summary Horvat, Miller and Hughes playing way too much.
Good old Quinn another minus game. Brutal defenseman. At least I don't have to throw my foam brick at the TV anymore, because I have had enough of Quinn Hughes.

I love when people suggest we build the defence around Hughes. he’s a great compliment on a cup contender but not someone I see as a cornerstone.

Yup.

I will watch the Gadjovich debut, but I am almost done with this group of pansies and inept players.

Playing 4 straight games vs Mcdavid and Drai the best tandem in the league and he's expected not to have a minus shift or two...
