Ever see Myers try to stick handle in a phone booth. It's not pretty. It's not pretty even in a 200' x 85' hockey rink. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 9 minutes ago, Barnstorm said: Elias Pettersson is 4 inches taller with a corresponding larger arm span. At 6’2” he’s obviously going to be comfortable with a longer stick than Conor Garland’s. A difference in height and reach changes everything. Anyways, EP could out stick handle most of the league when he’s on his game, Garland included. Garland is good in the tight spots, along the boards and able to duck under and/or around many of the taller players. He sure worked his stick well on this goal… obviously stick length scales with height. I've already mentioned that garland's stick is short even relative to his height, and pettersson uses a stick longer than average for a forward his height. garland has to use an exceptionally tiny stick to help his stick handling and it hurts every single other area of his game. if he was that great a stick handler, he wouldn't need the extra help.

Darius Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Pretty positive 'stat', maybe something for the guy that wants tocchet fired to ponder. Odd man rushes against, canucks in the top 5 of limiting odd man rushes: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like last season they were giving up 5 or 6 every game, and 1 or 2 would always go in. Huge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm, having a tiny stick does hurt your game. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal_thecup Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 1 hour ago, NHL Tyranny said: I doubt any team will want to pick him up for the POs but one can hope. He might be a good second line replacement for a team that has an LTI or a contractual issue (Perry). Getting a second back along with no retention would be dreamland... There will be No Retention. Just Garland and his gnarly contract, straight up. No retention, no prospects, no picks, et cetera, the only futures are Future Consideration. (As in, "In the future, we will consider you a lousy GM for taking Garland off our hands, and giving us a ... 2nd round pick .. please.) 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 ? I don't think so. Virtanen was a busteroo and was just extremely lazy and attitude problem.

Strawbone Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Quinn's little brother seems to have had his number the last few years, but this year is different. It's Captain Quinn now, and I think he's going to show his brothers who the alpha dog is. Got a good feeling about this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only wanted to party I wouldn't be so sure Tocchet wouldn't be able to have saved Jake. He could teach him how to fight for example, and then Jake might realize how good of shape you need to be in to win fights. He could get somebody like Tim "The Shark" Hunter to motivate him; the Shark used to show up at the newbs door at about 5 am and start them working out. He could change the "Crew" that Virtanen was hanging with and get him some positive feedback from positive behaviour (growing up). He could probably teach him self-confidence around women so he could learn to treat all people with respect (and keep Little Jake in his jock until he receives consent).

That was exactly my point I mentioned in the prior PGT- RT, Adam and Sergei fixed "transitional defense" (using a basketball term).

Only wanted to party All it takes is to be lucky and meet a coach who a)believes in you; b)hard enough on you without breaking you; c) has a patience with you I am speaking from my own experience when I was 14-15 years old.

Rip The Mesh Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Well it is about time! Thing is; It's not something the schedule is going to help us out with. couple of games or so, maybe a playoff round. Wouldn't that be a blast!

IBatch Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 3 hours ago, Rip The Mesh said: Think this may answer the jersey question... "Love Greener, he gave me the opportunity I got and when I made mistakes just threw me right back out there". Know that will rub a lot of the anti-Green crowd wrong. Did the same with Brock. And Miller and EP. Look where they are now. Maybe, just maybe it was a roster issue. Hope we win tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
