Re: Sports Talk
It would appear the Knuckles have some issues going on, hope they figure it out. on another note the Whitecaps are on a tear.

Re: Sports Talk
After getting outplayed for the first 2 periods I thought there's no way canucks are winning that game unless they bring in a submarine and fire a couple of torpedoes into the Kraken. Sure enough they did , Torpedo 1 Horvat , Torpedo 2 Garland.

Re: Sports Talk
In recent years we see the younger generation making statements about how Gretzky wasn't really that good because he played in an era where everyone got a hundred something points.
Here is one way to look at it. Comparing the top leading scorer to the second place and getter, and compare the percentage difference between them.
Certainly a table like this doesn't tell the whole picture, for example Mario doesn't make the list because, well, it's really hard to beat Gretzky by a massive margin, but it certainly tells a better picture than just looking at total points.
Noticed that Bobby Orr makes the list. That is really impressive considering no other defenseman has ever even won the scoring title let alone won by over 20%.
Connor McDavid also makes the list.

Re: Sports Talk
Infuriating team! Luckily Demko is a superstar, and garland might actually be brad Marchand without the antics.Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 10:22 pm After getting outplayed for the first 2 periods I thought there's no way canucks are winning that game unless they bring in a submarine and fire a couple of torpedoes into the Kraken.

Re: Sports Talk
Probably not good enough just yet and Green doesn't trust him just yet , he does seem to be a little slow, should play some games for Abbotsford. Don't think he's quite as talented as Boeser was in his rookie year and Boeser did improve his skating subsequently.
If Green wants to win games he doesn't have much room for error, from watching last night I'm pretty sure every Kraken player is better than Highmore , Dowling,and Lammikko. And like Sardineman said so far Pettersson seems to be lost in space,not himself, doesn't really look engaged.
Say what? Did you notice Jonathon Dahlen made the sharks? Had a goal and 5 sog in 12 min of ice time in the game against the leafs.

I'm heavily considering going to Thursdays game against the Flyers, upper level tickets aren't too devastating financially. Hopefully the lotto line pulls its head out by then!

Re: Sports Talk
Not a good game against the Wild they look head and shoulders above the Knuckles who look kinda flaky.Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:36 pm Both Alberta teams on fire to start the season, canucks need to pick it up on this homestand to keep up... no pressure.

They layed an egg, wild players checked them right into the ice, and they didn't really have an answer.SouthSardiswx wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:25 pm Not a good game against the Wild they look head and shoulders above the Knuckles who look kinda flaky.

Re: Sports Talk
Still can't believe we missed out on Tkachuk, Olivie seemed a failure from the start.

Re: Sports Talk
Kyle beach is the John Doe in that ugly Chicago Blackhawks scandal. Hopefully he can heal now that the truth is out. I hope consequences come to all those who covered it up.
