PureQuickness Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Bob Long said: Take Hyman or drai away from his line and he can absolutely be handled . No one is making excuses, one guy rarely makes a line by himself McDavid is one of those exceptions. The problem these playoffs wasn't that he or his linemates weren't producing. Towards the latter half, the rest of their roster was starting to produce. Edited July 6 by PureQuickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Not sure if this has been mentioned before but DeBrusk played for months with broken hand last season. Once that injury healed by playoff time, DeBrusk elevated his game by leading the Boston Bruins in goals (5) and points (11) in their 13 playoff games (taken from Canucks Army article). 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Just happy we have some more options on the wings. Additions of Debrusk, Heinen & Sherwood will do wonders with our center depth. Hope Suter is playing in the bottom 6 and is not used as a top 6 option. He will excel in the bottom 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: If Garland was a better shooter I could see it working.... Dunno. I just feel like Petey needs a better scoring threat. Even with a defensive black hole like Kuzy, Petey was more dangerous. I'd say Petey becomes the scoring threat on that line, as Dak and Gnarly can forecheck and dog the puck out with the best of them, with Petey as F3 waiting in high-danger areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know, how tough they were ... I'm so freaking happy to see Tocchet behind our bench... no whining and moaning about decisions... take it on the chin and do better next shift.. Don't feel hard done to, but get even instead... Biggest change with the team imo is we no longer turn the other cheek. It's awesome to see. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko is the one x factor this team has against every other team in the west sans Winnipeg. An incredibly important player indeed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have much less distraction this year, and Tocc has challenged him to be a beast, so we might see Petey with a career year.

I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I’m so stoked for the upcoming season… That being said I don’t wanna get too excited because whenever I tend to get up for anything related to the Canucks my expectations are never met… So I better chill the fuck out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I sure effing hope so lol Peteys shooting percentage is pretty remarkable in its consistency, within 1% year over year. So can he really change? I think it's easier to just get him a legitimate shooter as a partner. Edited July 7 by Bob Long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take his 22/23 season and 23/24 playoffs it looks like we might be getting a 7+ mil guy. Not for sure at all.. but I remember liking his profile before knowing about the broken hand. Adds a lot of upside IMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's easier to just get him a legitimate shooter as a partner. We know he can blow a puck by any goaltender in any league. Petey just needs to be physically strong enough to get to the scoring areas consistently. The question is - can he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his postseason play has been encouraging and the most exciting for me. If he can continue to elevate his play, that's going to bode well for the Canucks moving forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
