I went on Wednesday and it was pretty smooth. Show vaccine proof ahead of getting in the building and then usual process. Was a breeze. There were some dumb dumbs who probably forged their docs as they were chanting free Alberta/freedom Alberta during Oh Canada.

I think the plan is to drag every team into a 1-1 battle in the trenches and hope a hero emerges each night to pull them ahead.
If they're going to play the way they have in recent years, they're going to lose a lot with the worsened blue line. I think to have success they're going to have to implement that grind you down mentality from the top down and make teams play their game, rather than try to beat those teams at theirs.

Yup, make them bleed and hope the top 6 pops a couple goals and the goalie gets the win.

If I were to put it best, those first two games against Montreal under Sutter are the blueprint.
That was the best "out-work them" hockey this iteration of the team has ever played. And it was a lot of fun to watch.
Even Sean Meanahan was in full force in those games.

Did anyone catch Darryl's coaches show just now? Lou asked him what Mackey needs to do. The tone in Darryl's voice (vs the actual reply about getting to pucks, making plays etc.) really leads me to believe that Mackey is not impressing, at all.

Sutter doesn't mince words but he also doesn't deliver a ton of detail aside from the obvious.

Well I also put little stock in what he says publicly, to be quite honest  . But the way he rose his voice when he said "alot" just really struck me.

Sutter just needs to find the buttons to push that will send Sean into a raging ball of fury - we'll probably get there.

What pisses off a Monahan?
Even I'm curious about the answer to this.
(Kicking a garbage truck?  )

Preseason games are always Canucks broadcasts.
