Popular Post IBatch Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 Canucks are like a gift and there is nothing like the present to be a fan these days. What a treat the CFF has become, reading lots of positivity. This team is playing the right way, and everyone is contributing. Dallas is a legit contender, but .... is it too early to say we are too? Aren't we still tops in GF, and tops in GA? Most regulation and regulation and OT wins ... Was very happy when Tochett came in. Says it like it is, called the team out for not being in elite shape, players were told it's not a four month vacation if you don't make the playoffs etc etc. His active teaching style.. Convincing Foote to come onboard and Gonchar. The Sedins helping on both clubs (Abby too). Zadarov's comments about the way the players were treated and coached, made my morning. It's been quite awhile since the Organization, was aligned top to bottom. JR and Allvin have given us 6 NHL defenseman, for the first time since the peak Sedin era. Christmas/New Year is a big enough sample size, to say what we see is what we get. How many more games this month? 4 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the loss after he sat the first time. Let's not make that error again. Talent doesn't go away. Kuz is in a funk. He just has to play his way out of it. Put him on the 2nd or 3rd line. Not this 4th line bullshit. Kuz is a one way player. It's ok to have one of them. And it's not just about effort on the back check. Kuz is probably having a hard time managing his energy. He is gassed at the wrong times. Maybe that's just the way he's built and why he's a one way player and not a Selke candidate. Ilya Kovalchuk was a one way player. Would Tocc put him on the 4th line too ? This is bullshit. Tochett knows how to build lines. The results speak for themselves. Maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt (Tochett, Foote, Gonchar, Sedins ... Allvin, JR). Maybe Kuzmenko gets traded today. And you (and others) won't have to worry about that anymore. We beat a really hot team last night. Kuzmenko is paid too much to sit that's for sure. If he can't learn the system, then it's time to swap that cap somewhere else. A solid 3C would do wonders. Or a big body with more skill than Lafferty for EP. Edited December 20, 2023 by IBatch 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential 40g scorers don’t grow on trees and team is doing fairly well.

Boudrias Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 3 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Tyler Myers is having a great last couple of weeks. Playing with Zadorov has really helped his game. I can easily see him coming back next year. Especially if Willander isn't ready yet. With Myers playing well, we don't really need an upgrade on D right now, as we still have Soucy who is coming back soon, so one of Cole or Juulsen will sit. Speaking of Juulsen, he is also turning it around. Great to see. Foote and Gonchar are like Manna from Heaven in helping this defence. Juulsen is now a solid 6/7 Dman in this league and can play on the bottom pairing on alot of teams. We haven't even seen Friedman in a long time and that is a good thing. As for Kuzy, he probably sits again next game. We will see what happens. The Italian has come back down to earth and is playing to his usual skill level, which is missing empty nets. Can't believe he was actually ahead of Hoglander at one point and playing in the top 6. We definitely need an upgrade on PDG for the 4th line. Trenin was all over the ice tonight. I'd love to get him here in Vancouver... This will sound negative as Luke Schenn played some great games while in Vancouver. That said IMHO PA dodged a bullet when he moved Schenn. The 3RD is now held by Noah Juulson at less than half the cost and I would argue Juulson is a better puck mover. Juulson continues to improve. Last night at + 15 TOI. The toi allocation was superior. Schenn made a big assist on Aman's goal. Flashback? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we haven't talked much about is how having one tough mother like Zads on the team makes everyone else play 10 feet tall. Lots of our players are standing up for eachother now. Having a big guy like that who doesn't take crap and hits like a train keeps the other team more honest. They never know who's gonna get popped. And our players feel much more protected on the ice, even when he's not on it. He keeps the game honest and our players probably feel much safer now with him on the team. Since his arrival our team has changed in this department drastically. Everyone is standing up for eachother big time now. And that's the un weighed big Z effect. Something that has lost value in the entire NHL, and this guy brings it in spades. Worth every penny whatever he gets paid imo. No more turning the Horvat cheek anymore. Not to slag on him, or beat a dead horse...but for years our team has been charmin soft. You don't need to fight to be tough, you just need to play hard and physical and that alone will make a lot of teams wilt under the pressure. 2 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not only Zadorov, but Cole and Juulsen have been laying some pretty good hits too... On top of that, has anyone noticed, how well Myers have been playing since he's been paired with Zadorov as well? That pairing is found money, and with the Cole and Juulsen able to hold their own, the reduction in ice time for Myers has worked wonders. So much to be happy about just now.
