Alflives Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 2 minutes ago, iinatcc said: I'm wondering if Lindholm is the Bo Horvat of the team. In a sense that the offense just isn't their on the season they were traded. He’s got 2 goals in four games. And is playing big minutes in a defensive role. Seems like that’s offence and defence, no? Reslly comparing Horfat Wallet to Lindhold is insane. Horfat is a cheater of the game. Lindholm plays the right way so his club can win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really pissed about the Bruins but in perspective we came out ok. With Oilers loss yesterday we pulled 3 points further over the Oilers.

greenbean30 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 19 minutes ago, coolboarder said: I wouldn't mind Lotto line being reunited to get them going and to see how Lindholm can play with Nils and Ilya on 2nd line. It is all about timing and I think we need to see them against Boston at home and evaluate on how dominant they could be and use that as an option in the playoffs. Suter can be an option for 4th line or he can play with Lindholm and hopefully two wingers can get some chemistry. We need that because we need Lindholm to be able to play without Pettersson and Miller 4th line would be better if Suter on the 4th line rather than Aman imo. I am totally fine with current line they have going now and I think that they just need more practice and Lindholm just need time to learn the system. I don't think they have much practice. Lindholm just need more reps at practice even if he is already good especially with PP. This schedule didn't afford them to have good practice they wanted and were forced to take a day off before Boston game. They can get to Chicago earlier than normal and maybe get some practice tomorrow or choose to rest. It depends on what the coach wants. NO to Ilya on the 2nd line, he is not a 2nd line player and he has proven that. Offense dies on his stick this year, he had his half year chance on the 2nd line and did nothing with it. I'd rather have Suter in the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 4 minutes ago, -Buzzsaw- said: Garland is not that much over-valued... he is probably work 4 million. He is the guy who makes that 3rd line go, along with Joshua. He is the playmaker, Joshua is the triggerman. Blueger is replaceable. He is not quite a top six player, but he is close... and so when he plays on a third line, he can really drive the play against weaker opposing lines. Anyway, its not something Canucks management will do something about this season. (baring another blockbuster trade for a top sixer, but I think the piggybank is empty) This summer a decision will be made about Garland, Mikheyev, Pettersson and lots of others. It will be a big decision time. But right now, if the Canucks are serious about a Cup run, they will keep Garland around and not mess with the third line... they have something special there. JR is great at extending windows by keeping the core and moving in and out supporting players. Garland is a supporting player. He’s gone this summer, but will have his name on the Cup when moved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping in mind, it will take a full year to recover to a normal self, no matter who you are. He will recover next year so for now, we just accept as it is for as long as he still can defend well. A serious injury like this will take 2 full year to feel normal with explosive steps. He have not had a full summer of training and the camp. He is behind on most players in the league. I'll give him a pass for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 14 minutes ago, DownUndaCanuck said: I'd love to see this against Boston. Pettersson - Miller - Boeser PDG - Lindholm - Hoglander Joshua - Blueger - Garland Mikheyev - Suter - Karlsson Take Aman out, he's been hurt defensively too many times. Get PDG and Hoglander forechecking hard and free up some space for Lindholm. Agree Mik should be sent to the last line with limited TOI until he gets over his recovery. He hasn't scored in almsot half a season (20 games ago) and is killing Petey's Line. Time to call him out - he's had enough time to get his shit together for almost $5,000,000.00 Million and just 10 Goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) I think I counted 6 straight giveaways by our chaos giraffe in our zone under less than a min of play time.

But they’ve been letting the first one in a little to much and against lesser teams. It’s like their not prepared. The Boston game they never did snap out of it. That’s the one they should have had more preparation for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexM94 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Juulsen is a really good surprise. I wanted Tanev really hard but not eager to kick Juulsen out the D. I think he earned it. what we need badly is a top 6. Suter is a good bottom 6 guy but man let’s fill this need. if not promote Garland, Mikheyev could take his role on the 3rd. reunite Boeser with Petey, Brock does nothing but dumping the puck each and every play, but he s magic with Elias.

WE are entering into a tough stretch similar to November schedule but this time, a tad bit better than November with 2 3rd games in 4 nights until February 22 with lots of travel. Thank God for Seattle at end of the trip on the 22nd, just an hour flight home after the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but even when healthy Ilya Mikheyev has never been a 2nd line player. He is a 3rd liner through and through. He is a very much like a Jannik Hansen. Adds value, and is a good player but he is not a 2nd liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The last 3 games has made me be grateful that Tyler Myers deal is up and potentially never having to see him in a Canucks sweater again.

Popular Post PistolPete13 Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 (edited) 2 hours ago, Darius said: Dont you know? if they dont come out and steam roll teams playing at home their leaders are mentally weak, the players dont care, they lack maturity....oh and Miller needs to look like dominant miller for 82 games straight, no lulls allowed, or he doesnt really care... or something like that. I like diverse opinions and reasonable criticisms- sometimes i change mine because of them, but GDT gets overwhelmed with the repetitive emotional outbursts by one guy sometimes . Starting to think the ignore feature will make it a lot better. Being passionate about our team can be an emotional roller coaster. Most of our fans are pretty knowledgeable. Differences of opinion are welcomed and make this forum worthwhile. A few expect instant gratification 24/7 and this is what drives me crazy. A new player scores two goals in game one but doesn’t score in next two games, and there are serious suggestions that we lost the trade. Over time, the right linemates will be found for Lindholm and chemistry develops, I think that we’re going to be pretty happy. I’m confident in our management for the first time in many years. The improvement in the team has been amazing to watch. The future looks bright. Edited February 12 by PistolPete13 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
