We only have 2 D men where top 2 isn’t a stretch, at some point Tocchet will put them together. I can definitely see that too. Hronek is so smart with the puck. I’d actually like to see them both on the PP together instead of using a 4th forward. Not gonna happen tho. Doesn’t seem like anyone does that these days unless it’s PP2 line.

At least Burrows fit well and punched above his weight. They should be focusing on getting a partner for Hughes. Totally agree. It took a long time to find that guy but it was worth it when we did. Who knows tho, maybe Willamder plays 1 year in college, gets used to the smaller ice, then makes the jump. I bet he’s better than McWard already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our forwards are generally too small still. We need a couple more guys six feet minimum and a couple of five footers need to be moved. Yes, send Beuvillier to a team that needs some offense, but has size...perfect partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happening in practice today because EP sick so may see it some. He has a big shot even though never scored 10g. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Quinn is impressed with McWard, but in a guarded kinda way. Keen eyes of the Captain! Edited October 3, 2023 by Rip The Mesh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Demko, Miller, Hughes, Hronek, and Boeser to get the night off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we start rough again people are gonna look to that as a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) i'm actually curious why vancouver decided to schedule so few preseason games this year. most teams are in the 7-9 range and we'll finish with 6. while most of you don't give a f about preseason just like our management.. i find it extra important for our players to have a good preseason and carry over to regular season.. over the past 4-5 season we were awful in preseason and it carried over to the start of the season.. a lot of starters or even star players in the league are going to end up with 4 preseason games.. and playing together with their linemates for at least 3 of them to get the chemistry going early.. meanwhile our top players will maybe play 3 games together and spend 2 games or less with their actual linemates.. laine, macavoy trouba panarin nylander matthews marner reilly etc and the list is pretty big all will likely play in their final preason games so they'll all finish with 4+ game played.. we make excuse such as we don't want injury etc etc.. so other teams don't care about that?? no it's all about getting the rust off the players and get the season off to a flying start and not looking like they are still in preseason form. not that i'm interested in watching them increase the amount of preseason games but continue to ice the ahlers and have the top guys barely play.. i just find this season especially it's important for the defence partner to get used to their partners early and often to know their tendency etc.. literally every defenceman is playing with a new partner this year.. so the lack of preason games for the vet is very disappointing.. and if we get off to another slow start.. i think we can look back at the preseason again.
