I just hope they don’t trade him for a Tofolli rental. I have a bit of a feeling though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUSK v2.0 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 6 hours ago, Rocket-68 said: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/canucks-defenceman-tyler-myers-out-week-to-week-with-lower-body-injury/ar-BB1je9XZ Tocchet said "week-to-week" as of yesterday. Did something change in the last 24 hours? Soucy was week-to-week and was out 6 weeks or so assuming he is in for the LA game. Don't know what the injury was (unless someone here has a link to share), but Lower Body Injury can be anything from a high-ankle spring to a tweaked groin to a full on tendon snapped in the ball sack. My guess on a week-to-week would be a groin tweak but then what do I know. If he is going to be out in the 6-week Soucy variety, then LTIR he goes. Not sure the nuances on putting someone on IR retroactively versus LTIR vs pulling a TAMPA and using the IR manipulation vs LTIR manipulation to miraculously be read to go Game 1 after a short conditioning stint. Hopefully someone here much more knowledgeable than I am on IR/LTIR/Conditioning/Don't piss off Bettman can weigh in. It might be more about roster size management right now, after the TDL roster size rules are gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 We are about to enter our toughest stretch of really good teams consecutively. Will not be easy. This will pretty much decide our playoff seeds.

CanuckMan Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Lol at the people screaming Podz is better than Bains. Damn right he better be at this point! One has played over 100 games in the NHL and the other one hasn’t. One was drafted 10th overall the other one went undrafted. Honestly speaking Podz has more to prove than Bains right now. Drafted in 2019 so it’s about to be 5 years now since getting drafted and not being able to stick to the roster. Hoglander was drafted the same year (2019) and has been able to put it together as a 2nd rounder. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to speak frankly we only beat the 3rd worst team in the league. Our games coming up will be tougher. LA X 3, Vegas X 3, Colorado, etc. Tough stretch ahead and I’m not sure if the Canucks are out of their slump. Beating 30th ranked Anaheim 2-1 isn’t exactly confidence inspiring.

If they are in a slump, they will come out sooner or later. For now, it's better to grind their game to get the victory and they seem to have the tool to handle that as they have proven that, ability to grind when their game was not clicking, see November and early December slump. It bodes well for the playoffs where goals are few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardown Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, Sativika said: I'm excited for our prospects; those projected to be Canucks, Leks, Willander, D-Petey; those on the cusp, Bains, Woo; those who got some ice time, Wolanin, Breezer, Karlsson, Hirose, McWard; those in the line up, PDG, Juuls,. Other than the three young Swedes, the others mentioned are pretty much 3rd/4th liner forwards and bottom pair/depth defenseman. However, Juuls is seemingly making a case of a higher ceiling than anticipated for himself. I like what he's brought to his game. As yet see don't know what Woo or Mcward is all about. It's definitely crunch time for Woo; perhaps Breezer and Karlsson too. I've always liked the Podz draft acquisition. I believe some teams stayed away from him because of his contractual obligations in the KHL, which made his top 5 rating dwindle to 10th. A smart move and gamble from the JB regime to snatch him up that will pay off for us. Ilya be bamboozled for sure. However, one can look at it in a positive vain in that, he'll eventually score given the opportunities given him. He's most definitely plays himself into situations that gives him every chance to score. Unfortunately they're just not going in for him. I mean, I wouldn't say he can't finish. I'd rather say he hasn't yet capitalized on his opportunities to finish. Yea. The short guys pull through for us. Certainly not the first time this season that scenario took place. Hogz and Garly be clutch for us 5 on 5. And now they're getting chances to do more for us in PP's. One can presume Podz is in next game too, huh. Can't wait. I'd like him to pot a goal or 2 whilst he's up with the big club. Zadorov is turning out to be the "Tree" that many lamented for after he ditched us for mother Russia. To be honest I think he's better than Tryamkin! Him and Juuls last night looked to be a defensive pairing to be reckoned with. I don't know what the deal is with Chaos' injury. I mean we'll get Soucy back and we lose Myers. Giant in, giant out. Bummer. Did we miss Myers? No, but everybody stepped up. I mean the 'Nucks looked way better then they did vs L.A. Definitely more alert and less Fatigued looking. Is Myer's injury LTIR worthy? Myers injury isn’t LTIR worthy so we can’t go shopping for a 6 mil player. He’ll be back before the playoffs apparently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardown Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 9 hours ago, Pears said: I've been thinking if we can find a way to move Mikheyev and get Toffoli and Greenway I really think we can cook with that Höglander - Miller - Boeser Podkolzin - Pettersson - Toffoli Joshua - Lindholm - Garland Greenway - Blueger - Suter You would essentially be recreating that Miller/Pettersson/Toffoli line that was so effective a few years ago. Those are also players who wouldn’t cost our “major” prospects. Milhayev, a couple of second round picks and a B prospect should do it. it would hurt the next 2 drafts but we have a number of players pushing from the AHL so it may not hurt too badly long term.

CanucksJay Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I thought we were dominant and deserved the win. Score was flattering for the ducks. Here's what I think for mik. He's lost his speed and is no longer a threat on offense. Lindholm doesn't have offense either. Both however are really solid defensive guys. They just don't happen to be as two way as we hoped. I think it's time to make a "checking line". We should try them against top lines and eat some minutes and try to free up our top 2 lines.
