Good call. Santorelli was definitely pushed into Nabokov by Kassian. Would have been pissed had that been against Luongo. Too bad though, good hustle by Kassian and good hands to hook that one in.

Re: Torts benching the Weird Dude
Another genius Gillis transaction exposed. I mean no surprise to me but I do enjoy reading you guys drumming up excuses for Booth or downplaying the benching. As the great Banyan once said "Gold Jerry!"
I will say this, the team don't look too affected by his absence. Shocking.
I love this Booth stat - 9 hits in 10 games. LMAO. I real power forward gritty forechecker this guy. Almost worse numbers than his 1 goal 2 assists in 10 games

Ryan "Trigger Happy" Kesler for his leanings toward shooting the puck instantly from no matter what angle as soon as he gets puck in offensive zone totally and completely disregarding all other options in that there just might be a better option like - pass to linemate

Re: GDT Oct 22 Canucks @ Islanders Snet-P
One of Tortorella's philosophies that he shared in the summer after his hiring was that being a "stiffer" team involved being a team that can TAKE hits. Something to the effect of, "Sometimes a team that can take a bunch of hits all night and still make the play can be tougher to play against than a team that throws them all night."Arachnid wrote:Fucking getting out hit 26-11 Can we show some grit boys?!
Not that I'm suggesting that we should go out to get out-hit.....

wasn't pretty but we take it. Great signings by MG for Santorelli & Richardson.
Guys a fuck'n genius!

Yeah, but we still played like pussies when we took hits. Now we keep pressing and don't retreat into our shells.....Arachnid wrote:I want hits, we took hits under AV, I want teams afraid of us ala PQMëds wrote:One of Tortorella's philosophies that he shared in the summer after his hiring was that being a "stiffer" team involved being a team that can TAKE hits.

Re: GDT Oct 22 Canucks @ Islanders Snet-P
Yay! Good win to overcome some pretty suspect goaltending... but you know what bugs me?
1-4 @ San Jose PP 1-6 PK 8-8
6-2 Edmonton PP 1-6 PK 3-3
5-4 (OT) @ Calgary PP 0-1 PK 3-3
3-2 (OT) New Jersey PP 0-2 PK 1-1
1-4 San Jose PP 0-1 PK 3-3
1-4 Montreal PP 0-3 PK 1-3
3-2 @ Philadelphia PP 0-1 PK 2-2
3-0 @ Buffalo PP 0-3 PK 3-3
3-4 (SO) @ Pittsburgh PP 0-1 PK 3-4
1-3 @ Columbus PP 1-3 PK 5-5
5-4 (OT) @ NYI PP 0-2 PK 2-4
So far this season, Canucks have faced 39 powerplays against, while only having 29 themselves - oh, so that doesn't seem like a big discrepancy? In 7 of the 11 games, the opposition has had more powerplay chances.
Current road trip? 18 against, 10 for.
What gives?

Re: GDT Oct 22 Canucks @ Islanders Snet-P
Individual Canuck players were good.
Team defense sucked. Too many grade A scoring chances against Luongo.
Take the two points and run.

Re: GDT Oct 22 Canucks @ Islanders Snet-P
So we get 7 out of a possible 10 points so far on this road trip and RD wants to come here and gloat about Booth being benched?
Even if we drop the last two that is a .500 road trip, one that a lot of people were saying either we would be lucky to accomplish or would be a sign of a successful road trip given a new coach new system blah blah blah.
A sloppy game, poor team defence and yet we score 5 goals, by 5 different players and yet RD still wants to be the nay sayer.
Santorelli and Richardson so far have been good pick ups. Long season yet but those two along with Stanton are success stories. Perhaps by the half way mark a different picture will emerge but for now I am impressed with the three of them.
Hansen's injury did not look good. No word yet but I'm guessing 4-6 weeks. That way I can be pleased if it is less
I admit it, I like high scoring games. Screw defence, screw goaltending. Give me goals.

I know how to send Booth a message, and it's not with a bag skate and a benching. He must be... compelled... some other way.herb wrote:Torts is the kind of guy who believes in “sending a message”. Booth was reportedly bag skated hard this morning at practice. Obviously the coaches aren’t ecstatic with the way he has played.
Every time I look out my window, same three dogs looking back at me.
Re: GDT Oct 22 Canucks @ Islanders Snet-P
only saw a few minutes of the game.
4 goals by NYI, were they good goals or was it just a poor game by Luongo and D?
II am more excited that they scored 5 goals actually.

I don't think Torts is gonna put up with the 'weird dude' for very long. Fortunately for Booth and unfortunately for me, Hansen seemingly will be out for a while.Hockey Widow wrote:So we get 7 out of a possible 10 points so far on this road trip and RD wants to come here and gloat about Booth being benched?

I enjoyed the game. Santorelli and Richardson seem like fairly decent replacements for Lappiere and Malhotra. I thought Stanton came down to earth tonight, got caught flat footed a couple times.
