Dom Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just now, Bardown said: Ya just saying give him some time, stepping right into a top 6 role is not easy. Even Bo had to work his way up from the 4th line. He's getting a look, I hope he fits in but I would expect him to be dropped down the lineup and probably back to Abby at some point. I would love to be wrong, love the kid. That could be the case, but he played tremendously against the MacKinnon line. His hockey IQ is through the roof. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 5v5 against the AVs; our PP is continuing to let us down Mine too Anyway, I predict 4-3 for the good guys. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 37 minutes ago, Breadnbutta said: I wonder if they will promote Zad to PP2 with Hronny getting the promotion. Zad has a sneaky good shot Edit: looks like Myers is on PP2, also a good choice, just hope no giraffes gaffes lead to any shorthanded goals. I would too and I’d like to see him get top 4minutes with Hughes or Hronek. Those two need to be split up to balance our D out more imo. Zadorov had over 10g last year, heck net from presence anyone!? Winger for #40 when Soucy returns!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 38 minutes ago, Bardown said: Boeser has really improved his 200ft game, his board work and foot speed. Even if he's not scoring he's contributing now. I mean not reeeeeeeeally. The big dif is he's rocking a Kuzmenkian shooting %. Most of his other metrics are the same as they have ever been. He leads the team on Ozone starts and is last in D zone starts so I don't think Tocc agrees with you on the 200ft game. He's good for about 2 hits every 3 games 9th among of our fwds and would be lower if you corrected it per 60. I'm not trying to throw Brock under the bus here I'm thrilled he's having an up year. As we saw with Kuzzi though when youre hot it's all rainbows and butterflies the reality is Brock's talent is somewhere in the middle of what the points suggest between last year and this year. and we may already be seeing that with 8g and the last 25 games a 26g per 82g pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 54 minutes ago, Dom said: He has the drive and skill to stick there, as long as he moves his legs. He has excelled at every level so far. Great story for Bains if he does stick. Undrafted, battled his way on to teams and ended up signing with Abby. Burrows battles his way from the ECHL (undrafted) to playing wing with the Sedins. Rooting for Bains for sure and hope he comes close to the career Burrows had as that would be an absolute steal of a player for the Canucks! Go Canucks Go! PS. We could then look forward to someone starting a Bains, Do We Really Need Him thread. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he's not scoring he's contributing now. 100% agree. He is no longer a one dimensional player and it is showing on the ice. Anyone complaining about Boesers contribution to the team really needs to focus more on the present and less on the past. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete's line has had the most success with lafferty on it this year. It's about the only time Mik Lafferty have been a positive this year too.

I feel like a big portion of the fan base has a massive soft spot for Boeser. I honestly wouldn’t mind if they looked at moving him before the deadline. He’s made strides this season but Not a game changer in my opinion. We need players that drive the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser will be what we all thought he would be. A 30+ goal scorer (when healthy). If still on a line with Miller (or EP), I can see him settling in at 30+ goals and 70+ pts.

While I very much agree on Boeser. I feel like "play driver" is some buzz people bandy about. The reality is we have some very good play drivers in Miller, Pete, Garland. Huggy. What we really need is a playmaker. I think only Bluger has more primary assists than goals among our fwd group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDangles Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 5 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Lafferty seems built for a fourth line role. The other two just aren’t cutting it. At all. Kind of. I'm not sure what it is about 4th line guys that seem to only play well in that role once every 3-4 games. Lafferty has speed and can definitely lay the body, but he only seems to have energy every couple of games. I guess Aman is reliable defensively, but he brings absolutely no additional skill or physicality to the 4th line. PDG, man he took a big step back this year. I know he was moved off the 2nd line early on, but it was because he wasn't producing at all. If we had a grinder 4th line this team would look completely different. Everyone always looks at players in the system and projects guys as top 4 D, top 6 winger etc. and we focus on developing those players. Then we say that 4th line guys are a dime a dozen, we can just get those in free agency. Yet every year we seem to be short on this type of player. I wonder if more emphasis should be put on developing role type players, not always trying to maximize a players scoring ability, but rather their energy, forecheck, aggression etc. Just some thoughts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he will regress back to somewhere in the middle 25-30g 55-60 points. By all means not terrible but not the player we all see the potential for him to be.
