Not defending the guy, he was bad tonight. Lots of other guys were bad too. Guys who are paid a shit load more, and should carry a heavier load. Petey was ass for example. Maybe his knee is all pissy baby again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what is it for then, and why did very few if any NHL clubs run their regular roster lines through preseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big believer in Hoglander and he's only 23. The Sedins didn't get paid until they did. When you make 11.6mil, you don't get to be free of criticism while you "put it together." Nobody here wants to give Petey a hard time. We want him to succeed. But his issue has been strength for 6 full years, and has done nothing about it. As far as I know he went from 165 at the draft to 178 I think he said a couple offseasons ago. Still almost a full 10 pounds lighter than Hogs, a guy he is like 5 inches taller than. At some point it gets hard to believe Petey is ever going to actually address it. Willander is a teenager and he had more awareness at his draft about size. It was his whole reasoning for going to college. Petey plays timid cause he knows he's going to get trucked by literally everyone. But he wouldn't have to if he hit the weight room with some sort of intent. It just feels like he refuses to do it. And it's frustrating to watch. He'll probably smoke San Jose and Chicago for 4 points each and we'll forget though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewlowned Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Tough loss. We let off the gas in the last 40 minutes. Some negatives: - Petey didn’t seem to dominate or control play much - Some bad defensive breakdowns where Calgary walked a good couple metres off the blue line for shots - Silovs from range still struggled, though you could argue there’s some issues with the D clearing the front better But it’s just one game. A lot of the roster has changed and will need time to gel. And that can only happen in the regular season. Preseason games are not the same. It’s a long season! Excited to see how the team progresses. GO CANUCKS GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Very simple. D was not playing anywhere near to what it was last year. Forbort and Deharnais were both -2. Myers didn't look good... neither did Soucy particularly. Whether this a function of the early stages of the season or there is something deeper is to be seen. As far as the forwards are concerned... not enough playmaking skill beyond Miller/Boeser/Pettersson/Garland. There is still not someone who has a high level of skill and who can play with Pettersson. Pettersson did not look inspired at all... made a couple nice passes and got an assist, but didn't drive the net and had a paltry one shot. Team needs two top lines working to succeed. I am not as big a fan of Tocchet as some on this forum... I think a lot of the success of last year was a combination of 'new coach', management providing a lot of good players for him to work with, and luck. We'll have to wait till Joshua and Suter come back to see whether that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Its my fault. when it was 3-0 i was having visions of that time back in '92when the Canucks trounced the flames 11-0 and Gerald Diduck beat up Paul Kruse...was thinking we can do it again tonight. I then started looking ahead in the schedule. I think some of the Canucks thought it was in the bag too. Tocchet will settle them down... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffy Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I don't get how #40 is taking up $11.6 million cap space. What is the problem this time? His wrist? New stick? New helmet? Shitty line mates? New bed sheet? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 So I still have to watch the recorded game after work but it sounds like there will be lots of video of what not to do?

I think it's safe to say that after all of this time it's not an injury but rather something mental with him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel that way. Have at 'er. Guys mature. Things change. You need to leave room for that. That's how "putting it together" works and why people say that. The Sedins went five seasons and were close to being written off as busts before they "put it all together." You don't have to believe, and that's ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
