Task Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Why do we always no matter who is the coach or gm we start with so many prospects in the preseason? Calgary has half their regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Celebrini + a good sugar beet harvest is the plan all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 75 percent or more of the players on the line up destined for Abby and a couple that will be press box fodder and 1 that will be traded before Christmas,meanwhile the big club still doesn't know who there startind D pairings will be. Te Canucks have had a crap start for 3 seasons.if there was a team in the NHL that needs every pre season game this year to jump start a season,it's the Canucks.Roll guys in and out from the farm to figure out who should be a bottom line roll player if need be.

wai_lai416 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 i understand it's preseason and all.. but i hate it when they iced an all ahl bound lineup on the ice... like what is there to evaluate when you are getting destroyed up and down the lineup against the other teams 1/3 or half regular lineups? remember all our slow starts the last 4-5 years? the regulars have maybe 1 game the very last game of the preseason where they played in their set/regular lines.. and then we start off we a slow start.. like i dunno at least ice a regular 1st 2nd or 3rd line and at least 1 regular d pairing per preseason game so they can start building chemistry.. and not just rely on practices and the last game of preseason.. we have so many new faces on the defence.. they'll need time to gel.. /end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test their young guys and makes cuts early. If they make it close, then it will be harder to make cuts later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-d Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Whatever looked good in training camp and the scrimmage, they seemed to have all disappeared in the 1st preseason game. Yes the lineups are NHL vs. AHL including the goalies, but pretty much zero structures and zero competitiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookieFan Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It doesn't help that the Canucks are facing this year's contender for the Vezina in Marky , talk about a perfect storm of Calgarys full roaster and a top NHL goalie in the pipes.
