Mik to the fourth line makes sense.

 

He needs to simplify his game. Wouldn’t be surprised if he potted one today.

Yep, he definitely needs to be on the 3rd/4th. He's not a 2nd liner, and it's even worse with him coming off his knee surgery.

 

Not sure I like that they've moved Lindholm up, think I would've rather had Hogs-Petey-Lindholm and left Suter with Miller and Boes.

Again we seem to be trying to find someone to play with Petey, I thought Lindholm would have been the perfect partner for him so who knows.


Yeah.  It seems weird to try finding a linemate for a “superstar” player.  Seems like EP is a great player but is not one that can elevate other players game (like Crosby or Gretzky).

Or Hogs Lindholm Petey?

He's great, just think lindholm makes sense down a line with faceoffs.

 

Updated first post, gah early starts suck for lines

Miller is a winger who can play centre. The other two are centres who can play wing. Miller will have a great game! Five points!!!

Petey carried Lafferty, didn’t he?

Hope Hronek shows them what they lost out on.

 

Big game.

me too, may have signed Hronek in my hockey pool yesterday... I want him and the nucks to tear them wings from wings.

Not well enough since Laff is scratched for todays game.

 

Don’t you think it’s odd that halfway through the season and Canucks still can’t find a stable winger for EP?

Maybe just accept the fact Petey is a better winger than Centre?

I'm holding my drinking for tomorrow's game and the Superbowl

I NEVER miss Canucks' games. Ever.

 

Except I got a Christmas gift for an outing with my kids (can never turn those down, reminded them to always check the schedule first). So that was the first missed game in forever.

 

Tomorrow a funeral at 11....will pvr the game and avoid everything electronic until I get home/watch it. Then the SB. And probably a drink, cheers.

Well you selected two of the best players to ever play the game.. Petey is definitely great, but he is not in the conversation with Crosby and Gretz..

Petey does elevate his linesmates, but he can't make a 3rd liner into a star and this year he was sandwiched between a 3rd liner who is coming off a major surgery and a player who was in such a slump and had no clue what he was supposed to do on the ice. Yet, Petey is still on pace for over 100pts, pretty fucking good if you ask me.

I think they have one, his name is Hoglander. If Tocchet lets them gel I think they can do well together.

I agree he’s a great player.  But as the other poster mentioned, he’s probably a better winger than a centre.  But it seems the Canucks are hell bent on slotting him in at centre.

Lafferty hasn’t been with Petey for a long time. When he was with Petey he was scoring. Petey absolutely makes his linemates better.

Yeah, I try not to miss a game either. Tomorrow, I've just got a cat visit and maybe a dog walk. Won't miss the game though. I'll just watch it on the phone while doing the dog walk if I have to. Cheers Deb

Then how come that wasn’t the case for Kuz and Mik this season??
