Canuck You Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Can't be too hard on the guys, Boys came in to the rink not knowing their starter wasn't playing, DeSmith prolly didn't know he was starting this morning..Juuls prolly didn't know he was in and Giraffe prolly didn't wake up thinking he won't play..lots of adjustments and still only down 2..Believe friends! They're adjusting on the fly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking mama Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) I’m thinkin’ the same as Friedman & Hrudey. When EP40 activates look out…’cause unlucky can become lucky in a real hurry! Edited April 24 by viking mama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Demko out might be causing the entire group to be feeling less confident and like they can’t risk taking the initiative as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocchet has them locked into their positions being defensively responsible on a PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) 3 minutes ago, stawns said: Hes being wasted as a distributor up top. Agreed. He’s a great distributor but that’s not his best asset. I want to see the team utilize his best weapon which is his skating. Let Hronek man the point but don’t let the PP go through getting it back to the point and waiting for the one two cross ice one timer. When’s the last time they looked for a back door play? Never. That’s where superior PP’s succeed. Edited April 24 by Pickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 2 minutes ago, -Buzzsaw- said: Kuz might not have been the answer, but in that case, when they traded for Lindholm, why didn't they put Lindholm with Pettersson? They played together in international play and were on fire. But Tocchet plays Lindholm with anyone but Pettersson. I said it before... like all good offensive players, Pettersson needs someone who he can pass with... Hoglander is not a passer, neither is Mikheyev... Lafferty is a 4th liner. Lindholm is wasted on the 3rd line. This team is going NOWHERE without the Pettersson line scoring. He had 3 games originally when he came over and the line was brutal. Lindholm didn't have any success until placed on the 3rd line. Prolly why he's stuck there now. Probably weren't minding it last game I'm guessing.

DeSmith will settle in, Petey will pop one in and be back, and Big Z will keep smashing faces into the glass. Lfg! Hey they could come back to tie it and win it. The problem is that we still have DeSmith in net. I just don’t have a lot of confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimist Prime Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I absolutely want Filip Forsberg to wax that stache into a handlebar that my old Sgt Major would envy. Also, my apologies to all here. I own his rights in the GFL fantasy keeper league here on the Canucks Fan Forums. We didn't mean to score. If you have any interest in fantasy hockey keeper leagues here on these forums, there are several great leagues and all of them have at least one opening. ask me how. I will set you up with a league commissioner and you can slide right in. Draft, sign, trade and manage your roster like a pro. Beat the best to be the best. CFF Fantasy Hockey. It's in the game.

No, Lindholm had two games.... how is that a sample? And he scored two goals on the PP in the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t made plays leading to goals or had a while open net to shoot at and he hasn’t been average at best the last 4 months. Just saying.
