EdgarM Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: Our entire 3rd line has ZERO points in the last 6 games. Boeser has only scored in one out of the last 10 games. But somehow it is all Petey’s fault. How can an entire line have ZERO points in 6 games and people can claim it is playing well? Its funny how you mention the last 6 games because they all had points in the 3 games prior. That and they are not in the top six , they are the THIRD LINE! Quit your crying already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) We probably needed to get a little humbled, The team needs to realize that this part of the season is going to be the hardest. You can't just coast in to the p/o. The good news is that Boston lost and we're tops in the league...still.

Yeah at what point does it become incumbent on the player to watch out at least a little for his own safety? Same as when people run in winter with tread-less sneakers on ice and then blame everyone when they fall? Just great now we'll be without another D man tomorrow, i can see the league is trying to conspire against us again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 He'll get more then one game. There have been situations where a player is simply talked to' but I fear this will be more. Could be as much as five to ten games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 22 minutes ago, MikeyD said: Because he pushed off and didn't extend and then make contact. He was right up against him and pushed his back. That's not a crosscheck. Force, distance and severity matter. There's literally hundreds of those shoves in a single game. Not one of them was called tonight. I don't know. You didn't write the rule book. I saw it the way the refs did, and they called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already lost Zadorov for over half that Wings game, and Raymond came back and soon as his concussion protocol ended… but we do know how the NHL loves to make examples of Canucks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated earlier to take the over / under for the suspension at 1 game ... however, will revise my prediction to at most a fine and Big Zeke is lacing them up tomorrow in Washington rather than having Mark Friedman fill in for him ... we shall see of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and they are not in the top six , they are the THIRD LINE! Quit your crying already. Garland gets paid $5 million per year. That’s more than Lindholm. But your expectation is that he only needs to score every few games? He can’t play in the top 6 because he’s a puck hog. We can easily replace Garland with Höglander at 1/4 the cost. Höglander has double the goals that Garland does playing 12 minutes on the 4th line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barn Burner Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 1 hour ago, bishopshodan said: I'm not ignoring anything. We're the best in the league deep into the season. We havent lost in regulation when leading going into the 3rd. This is a huge positive stat. We laid an egg vs Boston. No team wins them all. We were the better team today but got some bad luck and worse officiating. Almost all your posts are negative. Very Debbie Downer. I hope you can enjoy some of the Nucks hockey this year. Something special is happening. Something "special" is happening, alright! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a video to help illustrate your point. https://youtu.be/R0KBzR6R9ic?si=KlYhH2963f2VhB05 Thanks for sharing the video. I brought this up in a Reddit thread but you can see the difference between Quinn and Jack. Quinn is a small guy but he knows what areas are dangerous and he knows how to absorb a hit without taking too much damage. Jack, on the other hand, routinely skates into dangerous areas trying to dance deke around. You just can’t do that in this league. I guess the Dillon suspension rubbed me the wrong way. Acciari skated into him almost at a perfect 90° angle while Dillon stood up to him standing straight up with his shoulder and elbow tucked. Same with the Trouba hit on Meier in the playoffs. I dislike Trouba as much as anybody and he probably could’ve let up, but Meier can’t skate into the O zone with his head down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Höglander has double the goals that Garland does playing 12 minutes on the 4th line. A couple of things here, 1) Hockey involves a lot more then just scoring. 2) Chemistry, how many lines do you know have chemistry like their line has? Hoglander is just finding his game and he will be paid accordingly when the time comes. Relax you can stop defending yourself you are a pretty good hockey player too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Zads shouldn't get more than a game. Hit didn't look too bad. It was weird, awkward contact. Raymond came back, no injury 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
