I'm guessing we'll see closer to 70% tonight. We at least need to have our top 6 fwds and top 3 dmen tonight with, at the very least, DeSmith in net the whole night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember ever seeing as strong rosters put out in G1/2 of the preseason. Yeah 2-5 starters might be in there, but icing 3 top lines + D pairs and full PP - not sure i can remember an instance of that for both game 1 and 2 ? Wouldn't it be Karma if McDavid and Drasaitl injury each other in a on ice collision and are out for 3-5 months each Shouldn't matter much as i think from the Nux POV I think we need to focus on tuning up the systems and building chemistry for the starting team now. We gave the fringe players a chance to see what it takes to play in the NHL and they learned that lesson in one game the very hard way. The skill level is high, its completely unforgiving and if you dish up that kinda hungover pond hockey performance your never gonna succeed in it - take the year in the A to reflect on that failure. Sure give the few that missed out on that shit show and the 2-3 that didn't look complete ass a few more try outs but need to focus now on hitting that first game of the reg in the best shape possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Joshua, Hogs, Podz, Aman, Studs, Breezer, Hirose, McWard will all play, but only half tonight and half tomorrow - the rest will be our NHLers. (At least I hope this is what's happening.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Hoping we see Aman Bluegar Studnicka tonight. IMO tocchett wants his 4th line to play a big match up role. tonight would be a good first test. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Joshua is in as a "prove me wrong" after Tocchet's comments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal_thecup Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Win or lose, I'm just happy to be getting to watch some Canucks hockey; what a long summer. I really like watching the young guys, guys on second chances, etc, cuz they work their Marchands off. Tocchet has introduced a lot (?), well anyway, new systems and what the individual player's responsibilities are within them. Last game it was all probably too much for an all-rook-type lineup but that's all in the rear-view mirror now. I trust we will see progress on these things and if the guys are working and trying, I could care less what the score is. Of course, it is much more enjoyable to watch when we win (even if it is players' dogs racing on ice) Go Canuck Dogs Go!

kilgore Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 One wonders what the equation is for the preseason as to what percent of games playing a mostly top roster vs AHL squad is best in the long run. That is , more of chance of winning = learning how to win together = gaining confidence as the real season gets closer vs less of chance of winning, and all that good stuff that comes with it, but thinking about the long season and what you have on the farm, and depth with try-outs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil probably win this one then if we're not icing more regulars up front Could be a good chance to practice special teams in a game environment though, the Oil are likely to be a top powerplay team again this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
