elvis15 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 That would make it this for almost two months. Hughes Hronek Cole Friedman Hirose Myers Juulsen Not a lot of leeway there if anyone else in the top 4 goes down, and then we'd likely have to split up Hughes and Hronek.

CanucksJay Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 That's a long time... It looked relatively harmless.... That's too bad. Hopefully we can keep up the good play. Wouldn't want to be forced into the zadorov sweepstakes in desperation mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks pretty brutal That's a. 500 team right there. Cole isn't good enough to carry Friedman and Myers isn't good enough to carry Hirose. They're gonna either have to play Hughes Hronek 28 min a night or split them up. They can't play 28 min a night for 6-8 weeks or they'll get injured too...

CanucksJay Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Also isn't Bear out until mid Dec? He got injured mid June and they said 6 mths recovery? I wonder if he's ahead or behind schedule. I would rather we clear cap and sign Bear than give up Hogz. If Bear is ahead of schedule, we could even put Soucy on LTIR and sign Bear and then try to clear cap space although that is a dangerous gamble.

ngoway Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) Tough luck. Soucy is reportedly out for 6-8 weeks. Apologies, saw the post an hour above saying the same thing! https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/vancouver-canucks-defenceman-carson-soucy-out-six-to-eight-weeks-with-lower-body-injury-1.2036153 Edited November 15, 2023 by ngoway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more comfortable with the top 4 I listed so long as none of the notable three names there don't also go down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 1st period last night was pretty bad. He seemed to settle down. Soucy out for 6 weeks gives the Canucks some opportunity to use the Abby talent for spot duty. Hirose-Woo-Walanin-McWard could all come thru. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 As for Suter, nothing concrete but he could play against Calgary (day to day). He mentions both near the start. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hoping Woo finally gets a shot so we can see how he's doing in his curve, D normally takes awhile to develop so it shouldn't be a surprise, not everyone can step into the NHL and do wonders ala Hughes but even he needed work when he arrived. Although I'm sure Hirose and McWard have the inside track via playing up in the bigs and didn't look too bad. If Woo does get a shot and he plays his edgy game, he would probably be popular with TOC, hard to say though, I wouldn't mind him having a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more comfortable with the top 4 I listed so long as none of the notable three names there don't also go down. Buddy Myers and OEL were a top 5 shut down pair 2021-22 ALLLL season long. They were on for 35 goals against at 5v5. Last year they were split up, try watching and paying attention. 3rd highest dzone starts 2nd best on ice save % and the same amount of goals allowed 5v5 as Tanev lol. You guys shit all over Myers and OEL and praise Tanev yet they are all in the exact same conversation. goaltending is what fucked us. Not Myers, not OEL, it was goaltending. Also 2nd most low danger goals allowed. tied with Tanev with 10 medium danger goals allowed 3rd fewest high danger goals allowed. 7 fewer than Tanev. Give the OEL and Myers bashing a bloody rest, you clearly dont pay close enough attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
