Jack looks like he's trying to get all the attention and trying way too hard, I mean isn't he the guy who wasn't drafted yet? And who the heck knows what Luke is thinking about. Maybe a Pokémon card he just got. Edited December 5, 2023 by IBatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing Karlsson again. PDG probably could use a rest. He worked hard in every game but was showing signs of slowing down. Not a knock on him, just a reality. Will be interesting to see if management does tinker with the forward group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewonder20 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 History is against us, 1-14 against NJ, but if Demko stands on his head, and chaos giraffe takes no penalties, and Petterson wakes up, and big Z flattens Jack, we might eke out a win.

Not good enough for top 6; overpaid for bottom 6; too small; can't shoot; doesn't score; $5m/yr for years. Slap that face! Better yet trade him for cap space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, just maybe, if Green was as committed to develop Virtanen, we would have a different outcome ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap that face! Better yet trade him for cap space. yeah, garland is in a rough spot. he tries hard, brings energy once in awhile and has some offensive skills, but he can't hit, can't check, doesn't kill penalties, and gets 10 seconds of pp2 time at the end of powerplays. he's an offense only player that doesn't consistently contribute offense. he doesn't have a role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap that face! Better yet trade him for cap space. If Garland wants to get into the top 6 he needs to earn it. He has not earned it so far. You don't get gifted a top 6 spot just because you are overpaid. I agree that Garland has been playing well and his advanced stats are good, as they always are. Garland is an "analytics" favorite. But you need to convert those analytics into actual goals, which Garland does not do very well. He does not have a great shot, does not have the size to play effectively in front of the net, and is not very selective in his shots. He is still a good third line player, but that is what he is right now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan-observer Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Should be a very competitive match tonight as both teams are rested - the teams have been playing about 500 hockey in recent weeks so they are looking for some traction heading into the core stretch. Hopefully the Canucks do not have an early letdown after their gritty win on the weekend. I think the first 10 minutes are key for them and not to spot an early lead to NJ Not as gritty as Calgary, NJ does possess superior speed and can fore check and pressure just a well. Really looking forward to the Hughes battle - since it is an Eastern opponent - okay with a 4-3 win in OT as long it is a W Edited December 5, 2023 by hockeyfan-observer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland is likely moved in the offseason with the cap going up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a tougher division and we always go on a run at the end that makes the standings flatter us more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
