DisgruntledNucksFan Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Don’t even get me started how he just gave the puck away in the fore check in games 6 and 7 in the corner because he didn’t wanna eat some contact …. Get rid of that baby and get a real defender to play next to Quinn …. One that can actually protect him when teams try and injure him. We’re never going to make it far in the playoffs when we can’t protect our best player and captain when other teams start targeting him . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zads would’ve flattened him when he tried to skate by im also going to double down and remind you all that zadorov > hronek and your precious Alvin fucked up Zadorov chased the money, we can't be held hostage by players as it sets a tone and somebody's going to be sacrificed. We don't want players who put themselves before the team. See Miller and Myers on how they've put the team first. He was smug when asked about his pending situation and acted like he wasn't (chasing the money). What a load of crap. Zads would've flattened him and we'd end up shorthanded and losing anyhow. Don't kid yourself. Loved him when he was here...he's now just a stinkin' Bruin and the enemy. Don't let the door hit ya. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t impressed with him getting dangled but OT is OT it’s a crap shoot. I’m more concerned about the 4-1 lead we had. There’s a reason why Hughes was able to become a Norris winner. Having a great D partner that compliments his game helped 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherCanucksFan Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 11 hours ago, Dumb Nuck said: His career stats are mediocre, definitely not that of a starter. My comment isn't about Silovs being a starter, but about judging his potential after one game to fill in as the main goalie while Demko is out. In 2019, when Demko was 23 years old, he became a backup to injured Markstrom. Guess how old Silovs is now? 23 years old We could be looking at a similar situation to what happened to Demko and Markstrom. Demko came in and played 27 games in 2019 and 35 games in 2020. He became a starter in 2021 when he played 54 games after he was signed to a 5 year deal. Maybe this is the potential trajectory for Silovs, starting as a backup and getting in 25+ games this year and then in 2-3 years becoming the starter. Kevin Lankinen has more experience, but has never played more than 37 NHL games in a season. He's also 29 years old, so his career long term potential isn't the same as Silovs who is 6 years younger. All of what happens next hinges on Demko's recovery time and how he plays once he plays NHL games this year. Maybe like Markstrom, Demko will recover from his injuries and continue playing or maybe he won't be able to handle starting goalie numbers anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 6 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: I never said there wasn't anything wrong. He acknowledged knee tendonitis last season that bothered him for months. It is well known he has had hand and wrist issues. I never said he was Wayne Gretzky out there last night. But he wasn't the worst player either. Lots of other players shit the bed too. I still call B.S. on the knee thing. When he announced it even management were surprised and knew nothing about it. I think he was trying to just cover for his poor play. Lone behold nothing has changed in preseason or game 1.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I hate about Canucks crowds is the carry forward between games. Just bc something was fun in one doesn't mean you HAVE to do it the next 30 games. Loved the JT chants last year....they felt forced and unnecessary last night I myself was cheering JT Miller, But, I didn't even see or know a was player down ,until the end boards opened up and a stretcher about to come out, being near the front I couldn't see the player down on the ice and before that was cheering Millers tenacity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coconuts Posted October 11 Popular Post Share Posted October 11 Zadorov chased the money based on a good playoffs, that was his choice. Yeah, he had the run, yeah he brought size and fans seemed to like how he handled interviews, but so what. Based on ice time he wasn't a top 4D for us during the regular season last season, and that's a pattern that's factored in throughout his career. It was the case in Colorado, it was the case in Calgary. Hughes, Hronek, Myers, Cole, and Soucy all averaged more minutes in Canuck colours than Zadorov did last season, and that includes Soucy playing 14 fewer games than Zadorov. As far as D went, Zadorov was 6th. Whatever happens in Boston doesn't matter, based on how he was predominantly used in Vancouver he was not a top 4D. That, and when things didn't go his way during negotiations he felt "disrespected". Turns out both him and Lindholm had spoken about potentially signing in Boston when visiting as members of the Canucks last season. Good riddance. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/zadorov-disrespected-canucks-contract-negotiations 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 8 hours ago, J-23 said: He had a 100 point season two years ago where he got Selke votes as well. He also had a great start to the beginning of last season. Oh good.. can we just tell the league that Petey was a good player 2 years ago so maybe they will just spot him 100pts and we can sit him? No one is arguing he was much better 2 years ago... what they are saying is he is a shell of what he was, but now paid much more. That's pretty obvious to anyone willing to see the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oysterbean Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 3 hours ago, Artemus said: Yeah, I agree with your comments. I wouldn't single out the third pairing as the culprits for this loss. The entire D corps did not play well in their own end. Hronek and Hughes were getting pushed around. Soucy and Myers had some less than stellar moments, just as you should expect for the first game of the season. No one looked to be in mid season form yet. I noticed that the forwards were having a difficult time in the defensive zone. Also noticed that our forecheck disappeared in the last two periods. Calgary exited their zone without much difficulty and entered ours far too easily. I agree that the third pairing was not the reason for losing the game. While they were on the ice for two goals, both of them were from the high slot which is not their coverage responsibility…Silovs was beaten cleanly on both of those shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcBrett Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 That was rough. Once Calgary settled down, they took over. We also let our intensity slip. That hit by Miller shouldve defined the game for the Canucks, fast and physical. Instead its like the Canucks let it slip. Almost as if they were being too nice, not wanting to rub it in. Keep going, make it a 4 goal lead, make it a 5 goal lead, don't stop being physical. Make the other team feel it. Everyone looked so good out the gate, but that wasn't the case by games end. Hughes looked good, Garland had some good moments and so did Miller(some bad ones too), and that's about it. This team needs Demko, I like Silovs, but it's obvious that he cant steal games the way Demko can (at least for now). The teams skaters are here to be fast, physical and score points, but defending is not something they can do. This team isnt built around Petey, Hughes or Miller, its built around Demko. Thatcher lets you cheap out on dmen and spend a little more on forwards to score more, while relying on Demko to make up for defensive issues. The Canucks cant let their intensity slip during these games, if they do ,then they will fall behind and blow leads. You cant let Arty come under siege like he was in the 2nd and especially the third. The Canucks don't have the defensive awareness to let the other teams dictate the pace and flow of the game. Hopefully, they learn their lesson and come out ready for a full 60 minutes on Friday... and the game after that, and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hammertime Posted October 11 Popular Post Share Posted October 11 Let's not get too down on Pete after the 1st game. Hold the pitchforks for now. We now have him long term he's young he has many seasons ahead of him. This is our team. 8 years is a long time. Pete has a bright future as does our team. The time to sound the alarm has passed. 11.6 is what it is. It's not going away, support Pete now. If it is mental fan support could be huge. if you're a canucks fan. #supportpete 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL Tyranny Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Looking forward to tomorrow's game so we can move on from all of this but hurt back stabbing. At least wait 5 to 10 games before drawing conclusions about the value of players management. Its going to be a tough enough year for this team to repeat last year's success without friendly fanbase fire. GCG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fan will use Friendly warranted criticism and that is ok by me and players themselves , I suppose Edmonton and TO have no hope of ever winning a game after their season openers? No Cup winning team has gone undefeated, I am not worried, and that if the chemistry isn't right that they change it up, Yes we didn't play a great 2 periods but still, the expected goals scored was kept to 2 (so not a total disaster) they just happened to score 3x more than what their shots were expected too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Sweeping conclusions aside, it’s a bit different with Silovs back there than Demko. Especially when we aren’t giving the playoff effort of blocking anything and everything. Boys need to learn to play the “full 60 minutes” which really means like 45-ish. We’ll be fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
