The Torres Trick

PrintShunned by the Buffalo Sabres, signed by the Canucks to a 1 year, $1 million deal, Raffi Torres is proving to be a genius acquisition by Mike Gillis. That's 5 goals in his last 4 games. That's 6 goals on the season, second to Daniel Sedin's 8 goals. His first career hat trick. His second game-winning goal in as many nights. Great to see his non-stop grit and work ethic paying off. Here is a vid of his hatty against the Oilers, bailing the Canucks out of a blown 3-0 lead in Edmonton, killing his old team in the process:

If Torres
can continue with this sort of play (not hatties specifically, but gritty, strong play) during the playoffs I’ll be VERY happy and I think it will help a lot.

The hatty was nice, but we probably have tons of scoring. I loved the hits he threw though, like the one on Cogliano in the final minute? That was sweet.
Yeah he just laid
out Cogs.

yoata. Two different girls told me I looked 35 when I asked them how old they thought I was turning. So I got really drunk. On a night with 3 dollar high balls and 5 dollar shots 3 of us spent over 700 dollars combined.

Ouch
See there’s your mistake, you buy THEM the drinks, and then you get better looking all the time.
Then again I remember a time when girls bought me drinks, man that seems like 2 lifetimes ago.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
There was a lot of us buying them drinks
them buying us drinks. And one really gorgeous shooter girl named Nicole who was basically getting drunk with us. Every time we did a shot so did Nicole. On us of course. And then we tipped her. Nice gig if you can get it. But it’s 30 right? Had to get a little crazy.

I did meet a couple of good looking Nucks
fans in Edmonton including a lovely young travel agent originally from Pitt Meadows. It was a great trip despite the massive amounts of money that was wasted on shots and high balls. And Canucks merchandise. I had a great time though and I have to say Edmonton is not a bad town. Lot’s of beautiful women.

probably 10-15% of the crowd were Nuck fans and a lot of them were good looking female Nuck fans. (The best kind imho) It’s got the U of A so there are lots of college girls everywhere you go. Decent restaurants. A couple of really good strip clubs. I have no complaints about that city.

It was easy to find
we were staying out by the mall. Just hopped on the Yellowhead and got off at WGW. Easy as pie. I did get stuck in traffic yesterday for the first time in 2 years. So I finally found something good about FSJ. I do genuinely like Edmonton though.

Just don't
get caught up in any of their crazy games they have there, like pineapple and crazy pineapple. The reason they play so bad is the casino’s give them all those crazy games that just foster loose gambling as opposed to good play. Variance can be high, but if u know who’ll pay off your big hands and who to keep the pots small with, you’ll come out ahead.

To be honest, Torres was playing like shit until he notched his first goal, and that was a huge monkey off his back, especially after his fruitless trek to Buffalo. Since then he’s been the epitome of hard work. While none of the goals last night were particularly pretty, they were prime examples of pail and shovel hockey; get to the puck, and throw it at the net. He’s not supposed to be pretty.

Agreed
and he’s very deft at deflections as well.
But like Vguy said above, he really played a complete game last night, huge hits, and made a great back check after his 2nd goal as well.
Great to see, he has the tools to be the type that really helped Chicago get the job done, although they had about 6 of those guys, we have others as well, just need them to have that big horn ram mentality when the time comes.

Considering he's also the team leader in takeaways by defenseman
and considering he’s playing against the other teams top players and considering the fact that getting three points in an NHL game is no easy feat. Even you have to admit that he has been one of our best defenseman. But this shouldn’t make you grumpy. Rather it should uplift you, someone you thought was useless actually has some value.

What do you think my intentions are?
My intentions are to discuss the canucks with other canuck fans. Is that not the intention of the site? Just because Yoata or anyone else is strong willed doesn’t mean I’m going to back down from discussing a point with him. In fact that makes for some of the best discussions.
I don’t see how my fan post is ridiculous. Everyone had been discussing Bieksa and I was genuinely curious what people thought. Isn’t that the point of the fan post poll?
Is this really because I’m not part of your clique and you don’t want my voice to be heard in these comments? Because I don’t feel I’ve done anything offensive at all but if that’s the case ask me not to come back and I won’t, no hard feelings.
yes, you are allowed to discuss the canucks, but i don’t like seeing people going “hey you, what do you think of Bieksa now that he’s had a 3-point night? what are you going to do with your hate now, target Burrows?”, then attempt to shoot down everything they say. seriously, that comes off to me as “hey look, you’re wrong and i’m right, so suck on it.”
also, quite frankly, i did not like the wording of your poll. it was basically 3 options for “let’s watch Bieksa play some more” and 1 for “put him in the press box”. if you’re going to have 4 options in a poll, you should’ve had more variety and a bigger range of extremities to include all possibilities (example: “TRADE HIM IMMEDIATELY” instead of “Hopefully, he plays well enough to be trade bait”).
we do love having people (whether they’re newcomers or regulars) joining us in discussion, but it has to be approached a certain way. we’d rather let conversations start naturally, based on stories that are happening around the league, and smooth flow into a discussion. thrusting a question like that on someone (like you did with yoata here today) is a little too rough.
i hope i am making myself clear.

And that’s what you should want; this is a pretty vanilla disagreement. I’m not him so I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but it feels like we’re talking down to the guy here.

How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
very true
i see your point today.
in fact, i even agree with you today. i don’t see how 3 assists can make a D-man suddenly good. seriously, would we say the same if Bieksa had 3 assists on a night where he was responsible for 5 goals against in an 7-4 loss?
Nucks Misconduct writer, ambassador and pseudo-moderator. Also on Twitter.
"Waist-down, Toews is huge!" TSN's Ray Ferraro
some might
for me it takes a bit more, I mean if they were 3 great plays that lead to goals and he could string together half a dozen egregious-error-free periods he might get some slack, but no I don’t think 3 assists (2 of which were pretty incidental) in a 10 game stretch coupled with way too many bonehead plays is really enough.
Oh oh…
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
it's okay
my wording made the mistake of including you in the “we”.

After watching the replay on the diving Torres goal, I don’t think Bieksa should’ve gotten an assist on that one. Torres leaves the puck for Malhotra who shoots wide then Torres knocks it in. Should just be the Malhotra assist, no?
I don't want to pile on
I do on the other hand want to point out that I never called him any names or insulted him. In fact I was conscious of wording things I said to avoid touching a personal nerve.
i hope you’re not offended by anything i’ve said. i just lose my nerve once in a rare while.

Because with proper debate would come exposing it as yet another sham on British Columbians.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
It may
or may not have been kiboshed, but I think u should research it a bit. It could be a good thing, and it would have been up to it’s proponents to convince us of that. The whole problem is the way they scammed it in gave it real bad optics so many people will not really give it a chance now. It is a problematic tax because as an individual consumer it’s hard to see the benefits; all it does is make my coffee cost 8 cents more every morning and everything else proportionately. It’s hard to step back from our own near term microcosm’s and look at the long term greater benefit. The final truth is that no organization, individual, or collective can run perpetually in a deficit; eventually something has to be done to help it. The first knee jerk reaction is to always cut things, generally arts first, then sports, then education, then health care. But if u cut those things u end up mortgaging your future and at the end of it all, you’re just as fucked as you were only worse cuz u reduced the human infrastructure value. There’s no easy answers, and it’s all well and good to sit in our glass towers and bitch about fiscal responsibility, but as soon as a governing body tries to show some of that we bitch about how they did it. It’s never as simple as ’I’m paying a bit more taxes booofuckinghoo’.

I've had
some exposure to its intricacies and that and previous experience with PST is where I’ve drawn my conclusions from.
Like I said, it’s not just another tax, it comes with huge benefits for already highly profitable industries, and it’s not just a bit more, try buying (or selling) a used car privately now.
But ask yourself this, did they not know it would be political suicide to introduce it, especially the way they did it? And yet they did it anyway?
So where’s the motivation when the usual motivation for a politician is to get/stay in office???
And please don’t tell me they are so fucking altruistic as to have the future good of the province in mind when they sacrificed themselves…
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
No, I don't think for a minute they were altruistic
I think that they got caught up in the money aspect, and didn’t think it thru very well. It has to be that, cuz if not they are so incredibly arrogant that they think the citizens of this province are too stupid (or that they’re the only ones who aren’t) to make a rational decision, which is a whole ‘nother bag of shit. Anyways…they see the dollar signs and instantly assume it’s negative so they make a massive strategic error and shoot their own nuts off. Or maybe they just desperately wanted it, didn’t want to invest the money to sell it and fight for it, and were instead willing to risk suicide knowing that their opposition is so notably incompetent that most of us would take the sly weasels over the ineffectual morons.

Don't buy it
They are not that stupid to think this wouldn’t blow up in their face.
The whole thing reeks and what I smell most is lobbyists and cronyism.
And be aware that this has also opened up huge loopholes for tax evasion by business owner write-offs.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
Well
that’s kind of my point…they saw dollars and assumed it would lose. And you’re probably correct (stop the world, I need to get off it!) that it was because of lobbyists and/or cronies. That’s much more plausible than arrogance beyond reason.
Here’s the thing that’s a bit disturbing…even after that political suicide, I still don’t see how the NDP has a chance and of course conservatives don’t even show up in BC…so there’s still no alternative. Maybe at the end of the day the HST weaselling in is a pure case of absolute power corrupting absolutely.
But I still don’t hate the tax itself as much as some. And I probably like it less than others.

Not sure what you mean
by assumed it would lose?
I do care about motivations though, if the Liberals committed political suicide for the benefit of big business (who no doubt are benefitting greatly from HST) and did so in a completely underhanded and dishonest way, which is obviously what they did, then what was/is in it for them?
I suspect we shall find out eventually…
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
Also
NDP have bee written off before and come back to form the government once again, still a very strong labour contingent in the province and a lot of resentment towards some of the policies the Libs implemented. Their problem is they seem more concerned with infighting than out.
How do you tell when blue cheese has gone bad?
in general
BC politics right now is simply atrocious. Liberals are horrible, but NDP still needs to get their shit together (Carole James is a little annoying too).

I can't stand the NDP
and their BS they are trying to feed me. They were sending me emails for a while, not sure how they got my addy, and the propaganda was hilarious. Propaganda warning me against the other sides propaganda. Is it any wonder people have pretty much given up on politicians at this point. They are all just as bad as each other. Fast ferries, Olympics, HST etc etc etc whether it’s a good idea or a bad idea it becomes a shit shot when politicians get a hold of it. I might vote for the Luddites next time.

well, i grew up supporting similar things to what the NDP is for, so they are my natural selection based on what i think we need.
however, all the parties are guilty of trashing the other parties and using that as their ads instead of saying “hey, this is what we’ll do for you”.

I would love to see a politician
actually do what’s best for the province and really run on a platform that they actually believe in. I would also like to meet a hot mermaid and have a drink with Dean Marin. I am kind of all over the map politically myself so no one party hits all of my issues so I tend to focus on the party who wants to do more to help education, arts and sports since those are things that I think help make the kids of today the best possible people for the future.

All Smiles...
I know it’s been said many a time, but I am so jacked on our third line upgrade from Well/Berni/Random to complete awesomeness. The first few games I couldn’t see it, but obviously there is chemistry and three mighty solid lines for our Canucks.
Torres is everything I wanted Bernier to be. I wanted Bernier to be able to drag and shoot and actually score the odd one around the net. Manny is way better than I expected too.
This hatrick couldn’t have happened to a better guy. I loved this line from the beginning. It adds a whole new dimension to our chances in the playoffs.
I am sure that Torres viewed himself as much more than just a third line grinder, and these goals will prove his case. His confidence that he can score, and the fun factor with this team will make him even more effective.
Los Angeles, CA
Power Forward!
We has another one! 3 line scoring!
Don't drink and park, accidents cause people!
If it ain't got a packet, go home and whack it.

this happen more at canucks games?
