Popular Post CaribouCanuck Posted Monday at 07:59 PM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 07:59 PM I can’t help but wonder if they are super worried about the main guys getting injured in irrelevant pre season games like what we’ve seen with Doughty and Laine so they are taking a super low risk approach. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to sign him to a contact if they wanted to bring him up. Yes, but we know that we will have lots of LTIR this year if we do need it.

Kind of seems like this is the last audition for some. Also looks they want Lankinen to get a high volume of shots to get him dialed in. Would be surprised if they don’t allow more than 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted Monday at 08:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:11 PM if you haven't noticed... in these home-home games it seems that the away team ALWAYS fields a weaker lineup.. therefore allowing the home side to stack it up for the, usually, win at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted Monday at 08:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:15 PM We have a lot of new additions, it would have been nice for them to play a few games as a team. Big mistake not dressing their actual lineup for this one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably it. Pettersson, Boeser, Debrusk played 2, Hughes played 1, and Miller played none so far. My guess is majority of our main roster will play Friday night. Heinen - Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Pettersson - Sprong Hoglander - Raty - Garland PDG - Aman- Sherwood Suter (since he played quite a few pre-season games already, I can see him given the night off for some rest, and give Aman one last look at 4C) Hughes - Desharnais Soucy - Hronek (moves up to play with Hughes at points during the game) Forbort - Myers Silovs (starts in goal for Friday because Lankinen is playing tonight) Lankinen IR: Blueger, Joshua, Demko Lekkrimaki will start the season in Abottsford, but I see him be a mid/late-season call up to booster the top 6 scoring and offense. Ideally when everyone is healthy by mid-season: Heinen - Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Pettersson - Sprong Joshua - Raty/Blueger/Suter - Garland Hoglander - Blueger/Suter/Raty - Sherwood PDG Hughes - Hronek Soucy - Myers Forbort - Desharnais Juulsen, Friedman Demko Lankinen If everything goes well, and we can pick up additional blueliner or third line centre by TDL + Lekkerimaki call-up: Heinen - Miller - Boeser Debrusk - Pettersson - Lekkerimaki/Sprong Joshua - RHC via Trade - Garland Hoglander - Blueger/Suter - Sherwood Raty: Raty will likely be in/out of the line up by the time we get close to the playoffs. I think in tight/tough playoff series, coaches often will prefer a more veteran/experienced players in the line up. And the team would be a lot deeper Hughes - Hronek LHD via Trade - Myers Soucy - Desharnais Forbort, Juulsen, Friedman or Hughes - Hronek Soucy - Andersson (via trade) Forbort - Myers Desharnais, Juulsen, Friedman Demko Lankinen Silovs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted Monday at 08:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:24 PM Looks like Tocchet wants to see the young guys fighting for spots against top competition. Win or lose, they need to really see what they've got in some of these players. Some have played really well (Raty, Lekkerimaki, Karlsson, Bains, DPetey) I'd really laugh if the Canucks won this game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruuk Posted Monday at 08:24 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:24 PM (edited) Oh man, I wouldn't be surprised if McDrai put up 10+ against that lineup, even if they're playing at 50%.

It’s a road preseason game. It’s meaningless to the visiting team’s established players. I’m glad we’re not playing our guys. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smacked them around pretty good actually. Our AHL boys might just do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted Monday at 08:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:26 PM I don’t know what to make of what the best pre season strategy is. Is it a rehearsal for young players, is it an opportunity to practice against a team that will be a little harder on you physically than your own team mates.. interesting that one team plays their best player multiple times ( mc David) while the other team approaches the preseason like it’s a waste of time for it’s top players.
