At the very least he has a bottom six spot locked up… I think if he can make the bottom six look better, yeah, he stays. But the problem is he only looks good beause of the men beside him. Miller and Boeser can make anyone look like peter pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusk Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 lol ok you are right. They cant make AHL guys look like peter pan. but there is no reason to not have Garlund feeding Boeser off the board battles and toccet should know this better than anyone.

Completely different team without McDavid and Draisaitl. Can’t be having some of the breakdowns we did against those two. At the same token, how much did the Oilers McD and Drais beat us when we had a unmanned team? top players 1st of 3 games remaining, getting the rust off and chemistry back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Glad we won this game, but honestly, this was par, not excellence. Take away McDavid and Draisaitl and the bar is winning by three goals. Glad to see we met expectations though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even new Beau could have made those two passes from Millar to an open Boeser in the first. PDG had a beauty set up on Hughes goal, was impressed with his game as the night went on. Good filler for when Mikheyev is out or on a different line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I know Edmonton played everyone except their big guns but they still dressed their defence, goalie and bottom-6 essentially. Meanwhile the Canucks ice a starting-day lineup so good to see what we've got to play with. Miller was decent but not fantastic, Boeser had a heck of a night with 4 assists - he didn't own or run the play but he makes a lot of high offensive IQ skilled plays. The last 18 months he's making really smart passes, especially on the PP, and is becoming an assist machine. Doesn't matter if he's going away from being a pure goal scorer, we can use a playmaker like Brock right now and 4 assists is nothing to laugh at. As for PDG I think he just proved to everyone that he's not going anywhere. Podkolzin and Hoglander haven't done anything near enough whereas PDG just blew the Oilers out of the water with such big plays we need - great screens (on the Hughes goal), great tip-in and what a 2-on-1. I had him in my top-6 at the end of last year and copped a lot of slack for it but Tocchet loves these kinds of players and he's producing points too which is more than what our AHLers are doing when given a chance so good on him. Hughes looks like he's taken his game to another level, he's looking like Karlsson out there - skating and owning the puck and play a lot more than last year. I know Petey's a 100pt player but Hughes is the best player on the ice and he's skating with swagger now. He really does look like Makar out there, running the show. Last year he was a bit more of a selfless team player but from what we've seen so far he wants to be "the guy". He had absolutely no right to take the puck from the left blueline, skate diagonally across the Oilers and release a back-hand from the right half boards and score but he did. No right batting the puck out of mid air on a 2-on-1. I think he's our candidate to breakout next year which is crazy to say considering he was a PPG scorer last year, but 80-90 points isn't out of the question if he keeps playing like this. Seen a big jump from him. Everyone else was very good but playing against pretty average forwards. Good to see the Oilers goalie and defence just crumble and our PP and defence looked good, and a pretty tidy night for Demko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
