It was funny watching the Sabres get outshot, outhit, and outdrawn in the dot. They were dominated by the Canucks for long stretches of the game. The Sabres reminded me of where the Canucks were a scant few years back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the draft position gifts that they got, they should be better than us, or that's what the tankist crowd said. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a while after the Petey incident, and after that a few shifts later Myers nailed him...

spook007 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 16 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Off topic. He got an assist. And I only noticed him a couple of times during the entire game. Wasn't Owen Power supposed to be this incredible defensive partner for Dahlin? He did play over 24 minutes, but honestly, I didn't even notice him in the play most of the time. He was +1, no hits, 1 blocked shot. His season stats are good. You'd think someone who's 6'6" would stand out a bit more. Related to that Bowen Byram. He at least blocked shots, had a hit and shot on goal, and was -1 for his efforts. Another top flight defenceman that looked a little invisible at times. They do have the potential though to have an exceptional D in a few years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sativika Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) 9 hours ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: Yea. Shades of Keith Ballard! Ballard and Huggy's body types are different Huggy can conceivably put on 20 pounds of muscle, but I'm guessing it'd affect his game some. Toning ones body for peak performance is one thing. Putting on mass can change things. Huggy's shown he can hit. Something he can add to his arsenal for sure. But not too often. Don't want Huggy off for any length of time because of an injury related issue from hitting. 9 hours ago, Jaimito said: I know we Nux fans had it tough this past decade, but imagine being a Sabres fan. Sabres are an up and coming team to watch. I mean they're D is set for many years to come. And you can take into account there prospects and future draft prospect too. Our 1970 expansion cousins have a bright future! 8 hours ago, CanuckMan said: Oilers are 8 points behind us with 3 games in hand on us. Will be close right to the end for the Division title. I’d like to win the division. Personally I don’t want to win the presidents trophy. Too much unnecessary pressure as being the top team in the league. For this season, it doesn't much matter to me where they end up positionally in the standings. Just so long as they get in the playoffs. I'm confident that's happening for sure! I don't expect the Canucks to win or lose a game deliberately just to give themselves a favourable matchup for the 1st round. We fans, and the whole of the Canuck organization want to win games. That's it. We've 13 games left and of those, 6 are against teams with very little to no hope for a wildcard spot; Habs, Flames, Ducks and Coyotes will play us hard. Basically 'cuz they wanna prove that they can compete with the big, bad Canuck, and want to play spoiler too. And the rest; Stars, Kings, Golden Knights, Oilers, and Jets, just wanna beat our asses in general cause one, we're the big, bad Canucks, and..............They wanna come into the playoffs on a high note. Can't blame them. So do we, right? 5 hours ago, DexM94 said: When everyone healthy Hoglander Petey Garland Mikheyev Miller Boeser Joshua Lindholm Podkolzin Suter Blueger Lafferty DiGuisseppe Hughes Hronek Zadorov Soucy Juulsen Myers Cole Demko DeSmith 2 hours ago, NorthWestNuck said: I like this, with Mik/Suter and Garland/Podz able to be swapped when you want different looks. Would still be a good set up. only change is Soucy should be on the left with Juulson on his right, and Zads with Myers on the 3rd so that all d are playing their correct positions (or Juulson with Zads on 3rd, whatever works). I'm interested in what's gonna happen, forward line wise when Daks gets back in the line up. DexM94's thoughts of such are intriguing to be sure. - Petey centering Garly and Hogs looked good last night. - Breaking up Daks and Garly might be questionable as them with Blueger were a staple all season long in our earlier successes. - Having Lindholm between two big, physical wingers in Daks and Podz, who've both speed, checking and scoring ability is certainly worth a look. - Bluegar between Laffy and Suter looks to be a solid 4th line. I'm guessing Blueger's scoring will decline with these line mates. but it's all for the good of the team, right? I agree with NorthWestNuck's proposed D changes from your suggested D core pairings. Seeing as RT likes the lefty/righty component of a D core, I'm guessing that's what it'll end up being. However as Cole can play both sides and has done so admirably all season, he could be paired with Soucy or Myers. But either Juul's or Cole will do the job, of which I'm in no doubt. So far, so good. I'm guessing JT Miller, being the warrior he is, will be playing against the Habs on Thursday. Albeit whilst nursing a bruised ankle from that blocked shot he made last night. Gotta love him, eh? Soooooo glad he's ours! Edited March 20 by Sativika 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as the team inches closer to the playoffs, Tocchet will sit players to rest guys up for the playoffs. The fact that Juulsen is the Canucks seventh defenseman speaks volumes on how much better the team is now, and how good the coaches are at developing talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
