Miller and Petey's feud spilling out of the locker room

 

[Johnny Canucker]

No Hughes.


Canucks lose 4-1

 

[wonton15]

Hughes with one good hand is still better than the 10 other hands of the other 5 D

 

[Nuckles]

I seriously worry about this team getting at least 20 shots tonight without Hughes (and Hronek) in the lineup. Yes, even against the Sharks...

Glass and out (not even out usually) rinse and repeat

 

[Canucks LB]

This team without Quinn hughes or Hronek is hilarious

 

[wonton15]

It makes sense why Hughes was out late to test out his hand. But also, Henrik’s passing is still insane. Look at the velocity and accuracy of each sauce, directly onto Hughes’ tape

 

[Flik]

Rolling out the Abby defense tonight

lmao just rest the man, no sense in aggravating an injury at this time. So goes the:

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Trainer needs to get on this right now.

Nothing takes priority other than Quinn’s Hand Job.

 

[ProviesGhost]

He hurt his hand slapping #9 and #40

Watching a PP with the Twins and Hughes on it would have been so magical.

 

[canucksfan]

Put Hughes in a wheelchair and he would still be more effective than most of the team's defense.

Rolling out the Abby defense tonight

Welp that's probably it for this franchise.

Can't wait to buy my Atlanta Canucks jersey.

 

[Canucks LB]

Don't risk it, just let him rest, let's not get stupid now

 

[Nuckles]

Puck drop at 6:15pm

 

[Kryten]

Watching the Stonecutters episode to raise my spirits in these dark times

Tonight’s Game

• Extremely important to go into the break on a high note
• San Jose works extremely hard
• Shouldn’t be surprised by the Sharks’ work ethic; have some young players that are flying out there

Keys of the Game

• Need to play hard from the first shift
• Be better at regrouping quicker
• Get pucks on net earlier in the game
• Stay out of the penalty box; taking too many in the 1st period and it takes away from the flow of the game

Hughes

• Is dealing with a couple of things
• Game time decision
• Is injury related
• Hughes will want to play but the team will make that decision
• Happened last game so not something that’s been lingering

Players’ Time Off

• The break is a reset
• First 30-35 games is a sprint; then it’s 5-6 weeks until the 4 Nations Tournament so that is another spring
• Want to refocus
• If things haven’t gone well for you before the break, you take those three days off and you come back, everything is zero; don’t think about goal totals, win totals, etc; it’s almost like a brand-new season

What Are you Grateful For

• So many people that are unfortunate and aren’t going to have a great Christmas so he feels for them
• Canucks’ charities get peoples gifts; he loves that stuff
• When you come to the rink, we have to be grateful that they get to play hockey
• “The waves aren’t 12 feet, they might be 5 or 6 feet”; they aren’t big problems
• In this market everyone acts like they are “15 foot waves” and players start acting like it too so it’s his job to help them understand “it’s only 4 feet”
• Have to relax and play
• Relationship is everything to him
• Wants everyone to have a great Christmas; when the game is over go enjoy your family
• Forbort is a great story; has had a tough year and is one of the best locker room guys Tocchet has ever coached
• Enjoy this game and have fun

I said this in the Hughes thread, but just imagine prime Sedins with prime Hughes..... remember "The Shift?" that'd be a regular occurrence if those three got to play together

 

[Nomobo]

One way to quiet all this f***ing noise is for both EP40 and Miller to come out firing on all cylinders.
Let’s do it boys!

 

[Quinning]

We're about to see how awful this team truly is without Quinn Hughes.

 

[Jack Tripper]

he probably has a sore back from carrying this entire team all season long

 

[me2]

Hey it's a miracle I even know about Atlas since I was educmacated by CCP in 90's China! You goddamn imperialist!

 

[Zombotron]

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals
