Willander the Great Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 21 minutes ago, Moeknows said: Live on the island so don't get to go to games but was able to attend last night, As you all probably know, in person is so different from TV, so much quicker, ice seems so much smaller, so little time for players to make a play. Just a couple of thoughts. Myers seems to know what to do and tries to do the right things but just failsto pull it off much of the time Petey and Kuz are so skilled Hughes makes it look so easy Hronek, questioned that trade but he is a really good defenceman. Di Giuseppe was so good at both ends of the ice, he should stick with the big club I’m really liking Hronek too. Soucy and Cole are looking solid as well. It’s crazy to think about how bad our D was last year other than Hughes of course. We still have holes, by my goodness our back end is so much better off than it was at this time last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekker Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, EdgarM said: It always seems to be our big fail with this club. Ferlund? Didn't happen, Virtanen? Nope, Podz is the new experiment which doesn't seem to be panning out either. You would think that Myers and his huge frame would have brought us more physicality too. That and we still have not been able to rid ourselves of some of these smaller wingers. Where to find these players is the huge question. Some say the #1 C , the PMD and the goalie are the tough pieces to find. I am saying this type of player is just as elusive and just as important. Yip, they are called Unicorns for a reason. Definitely something this franchise is lacking. Joshua doesn't seem to get it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that he thinks too much and when you do that, you're just a little bit behind the guys who don't think and play on instinct. It'll affect his confidence as well. I'd like to think that he can learn to play without thinking every move. IBM ThinkPad says you won the Sunday Morning Think Post Challenge: 5 thinks! I still have one in The Forgotten Works (my basement 'den'): Thing weighed about 8 pounds without the 3 or 4 pound adapter, cords, etc; just a frick'n beast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hughes is the real deal this year. He seems hungry to score and win. Thinking 100+ points and a Norris nomination, maybe a win. Podkolzin seems to really overthink the game and what his instructions are. He needs to just play and be a bull out there. If he doesn't have the smarts or the heart, then back to Abby for him, or possibly a new team. He is still young at 22, but his age isn't the issue. Podz is and could very well remain a borderline NHL player. I've wondered if that fight he got into 2 years ago shook him and he hasn't really recovered. (mentally) He's playing it too safe, trying too hard not to make a mistake. DiGiuseppe Aman Studnicka Blueger Suter Hoglander Really like what these guys ^^ are bringing. Joshua, not so much. He's a big player who doesn't play physical enough, IMO. And he looks out of shape. to MTL - Joshua and Podkolzin (this would be really tough to do) to VAN - Anderson ...but, Anderson did score 21 in 69 games last year. He's a big forward who knows how to play big. Kuzmenko - Pettersson - Anderson Mikheyev/Hoglander - Miller - Boeser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to take it seriously, you can't be here. Yes they need the size but what does keeping him around when he could care less about being in great shape so to players who put the work in? Supposedly most of the guys worked hard. He decided to not put the work in. It's insulting really if you don't hold him accountable. You have to set a standard and that should be it.

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) McWard might actually make the team. I like him. Yes, he took penalties but he is still learning the NHL game. He has the wheels and hockey sense. Just needs time. Edited October 1, 2023 by Canuckfanforlife82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua has a spot on this team because of his physicality and willingness to fight. Especially when no one else among our forwards except Miller is capable of doing so.

With Hirose, I think he simply needs to get physically bigger and stronger to be an every day NHLer. One of the sports reporters on 650 commented that he’s an absolute beanpole without his hockey gear on. Hopefully he can bulk up a bit because the hockey smarts sure seem to be there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Miller just kept the puck to himself, for like 30 seconds, and ran out the clock. Why didn't he shoot or pass to team mates so they could shoot? Do not anger the hockey gods, for they are fickle.

JeremyCuddles Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I feel like at this point. Woo is what Woo be. Just not quite good enough. Looks to be the case for Boner as well. It's crazy how Podkolzin was called up late last season but Hogs stayed in Abby. But now Podkolzin is being sent to Abby and Hogs is staying on the big club. I get waivers is a thing. But it makes you wonder why he didn't just stay in Abby for the rest of last season as well. If Podkolzin had Hogs' dog and Hogs had Podkolzin's size we'd have a really dynamic duo there. Surprised Bains didn't get one more game, but he has kinda fallen off as camp went on. Fingers crossed Rathbone gets claimed though. Ngl. Lol. But my guess is he's just trade bait if/when goalie injuries come up and we can flip him for another Delia or something. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
