Elias Pettersson Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 14 minutes ago, Googlie said: Couple of observations.... Juuls doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with Blueger, Lafferty or PDG Tocchet's system demands certain things from wingers in specific situations, and dozens of reps in practice to ingraine these habits in the wingers. Juuls hasn't done any of these and that would destroy the effectiveness of that 4th line You could simply play Juulsen as the 7th Dman and take Cole's spot when they need to give him a rest. Cole isn't great at handling the puck on his off side. He's made several mistakes that I noticed just from the last game. You could double shift guys to make up the difference on the 4th line. It's not ideal, but it may be better than having Lafferty in the lineup who doesn't do much and then also have Cole playing an entire game on his off side. Either that or you simply take Cole out and replace with Juulsen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could trade him for a player with a similar cap hit in a position of need. Maybe a tough as nails 4th liner or a RHD. It wouldn't be an easy trade, we'd probably have to throw in a pick or a prospect on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 2 hours ago, Hammertime said: Keep banging them up. Get Juuls in for Cole. Podz in for Mik. And grind them. Be nice if that were possible, but Podkolzin took a step back in Abbotsford. In fact; Podz,s changed when Mik and Kuzmenko got here and has pretty much been a minor league player ever since. He may well be on call along with that Bains kid for these playoffs, I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Juulsen has played well all season. At some point, we'll need him if we're going to go on a run anyway. I'd prefer if he's not completely rusty when that happens. This seems like the perfect occasion to bring in a fresh guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he normally plays the left side. Remember, we didn't get Zadorov until late November and Soucy got injured twice and was out for months. So Cole played mostly the left side this year. Once everyone was healthy, he started to play on the right side. Cole does not play as well on the right side. He mishandles the puck quite often and I believe it is a reason why he has played poorly lately... 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmer Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think both goalies will be better in game 2 and that it will be it will be a low scoring affair. The Canucks are comfortable playing that type of game, so I think they would have the advantage. Petey is due to pot one, and tomorrow night would be a perfect time for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole did have a bad game, but not sure Juulsen can handle playoff hockey yet. I like Juulsen, but putting him a second round of the playoffs seems like a stretch.

When I watch him play, I’ve got to pinch myself to make sure he’s for real. He’s a Canuck! Sign him up long term. I’m counting on you Emilie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete13 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 11 hours ago, Rip The Mesh said: Brock Boeser is playing probably, the best, all round hockey of his career. JT may be helping... Agreed. This morning I heard Patrick O’Sullivan complaining that Brock was dogging McSniveler and the mean old refs wouldn’t call a penalty. Brock is working hard along the boards and in front of the net. Tonight he’s gonna bust out and bag a goal or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete13 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 9 hours ago, Nucker67 said: I love our defense. Zadorov, Myers and Soucy are beasts, Hughes and Hronek provide the razzle dazzle and offense. Is it possible that the Canucks play such a good D game and limit other teams so much, that they could win these games with Silovs in net the whole way? They only gave EDM 15 shots last night. (4 goals against is a bit concerning, though) Silov’s has got to be on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. I think that he got too excited last game and overplayed a few shots. Tonight he’s gonna be dialed in. I expect a bounce back game from Arturs. Canucks win 4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete13 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 8 hours ago, AngryGoose said: Crazy how physical the Canucks D played. Weren’t chasing hits but landed some big ones. Really hope they can keep it up. Said it in the NSH series but big Z should be wearing an A for this team (next year). In a lot of ways he is like our Chara leading the wolf pack. Don’t wanna lose Z. We’ve been craving a guy like him for years. Tram gave us a flicker of hope, but then slipped away. He was never going to be what Zads is anyway. Good lord those were dark days. I’m going to rejoice and celebrate every game that Zads is in Canuck colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
