These media hacks only seek to foment disorder to control traffic to their inane sites and podcasts. I think the majority of the fan base sees these clowns for who they are and realize how smart Tocchet is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 5 hours ago, OldFaithfulcap said: Tocchet has always liked balanced lines. It'd keep suter on the pp for now but look at experimenting. We saw some last night garland-pettey-hogs briefly. The no name line has shooting (garly), skill (bluegs) and hitting (josh). I love that line but laff could replace josh in short-term josh-miller-kuz (josh creates space) hogz-pettey-boes (hogz gives energy and more danger) garl-blueger-laff (laff brings hits) mik-aman-suter (grind hard or we try others) I'd be feared of breaking up the Garland line, which seems to be the only one working constantly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 19 minutes ago, flat land fish said: Worth considering if the loss of agility in bulking up the lower half would be a benefit or a detriment. With the shot speed he's obviously a strong guy. Also possible his lean metabolism limits maximum weight. This weight slowing people down thing is so overrated. Nathan MacKinnon is 3 inches shorter than Petey and never lost a step bulking up, and he is around 200 pounds. Ovi played at 230 pounds in his prime and still could blow by people, not so much now. McDavid plays at 195ish. Fastest guy in the game. Larkin is around 200 pounds and is one of the fastest dudes in the game. There's zero reason to think 6'3 Petey can't get stronger on his skates and push 190 pounds without losing a step, while shorter dudes can get bigger. I truly believe he's a top 3 talent in hockey if he were 190+ pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 It's ridiculous how Tocchet simply comments that Petey's last few games haven't been great and everyone just explodes. The comments coming in to 650 lately have been ridiculous. "Gord" (caller) who suggests we get rid of Petey fast before we get anchored to a guy who isn't very good. Etc. I'm glad the 650 guys fired back (citing actual stats and facts to prove the haters wrong). Geesh. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 hours ago, JeremyCuddles said: Dude isn't 22 anymore. He's 25, been in the show 6 years now. If he didn't bulk up by now it's safe to say he won't ever. Even Willander at 18 had enough awareness to know he needs to bulk up. And his 18 year old weight was already heavier than 25 year old Petey's weight. While being listed as 2 inches shorter than Petey. Petey is very likely at the weight he'll be playing his prime at. I don't see him getting any stronger physically unless he has an epiphany this offseason.

IBatch Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: You're getting lost in the names, brah. The message is to battle through what's happening on the ice, and not to look to a referee when something shitty happens on the ice. If the dumb zebra didn't call it while they're in full view of it, looking to them will have little to no effect. No doubt there. We are agreeing in that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Nothing wrong for trying (EP). Think both guys played it pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckMan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 4 hours ago, Coconuts said: Top pairing doesn't always equate to a guy being a #1 or #2, sometimes it just means it's the best option in that slot Hughes is a #1, after that we have a few 3-5 guys in Hronek, Myers, Cole, and Zadorov, and another when Soucy is healthy, with Hronek being the #3 and the others being #4-5's But that's fine, every team doesn't have a legit #1 and #2 One could argue that if we had someone else who meshed well with Hughes that bumping Hronek down could result in better depth Personally I haven’t been all that impressed with Hroneks defensive play. Sure the points are nice but he’s not a great partner for Hughes in my opinion. Hughes - ??? Soucy-Hronek Zadorav-Myers or Cole Juulsen For next year. Cole or Myers, 1 should come back not both. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP40 is a big reason the Canucks are where they are not the biggest but 1 of the biggest for sure but he is human and can not be expected to play at a high level every game. He can play at 80% and still be better than 80% of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManbeastMARK Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 5 hours ago, PhillipBlunt said: Or for Pettersson to deal with the Schenns of the world by getting back up and looking at the player and not the referee. Didn't work for Daniel Sedin when Marchand was speed bagging him, won't work now. the Sedins were strong along the boards and weren’t divers. It worked a lot better for them because of this.
