HuggyCareBear Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 3 hours ago, SISMIM said: Happy to see the Canucks are continuing to experiment with Hughes-McWard, despite some of the local media’s negative comments last game: McWard deserves a longer look, even after getting into some penalty trouble last game, and getting caught chasing on some extended shifts. The kid still owns the best overall 5v5 underlying numbers (and second best, to Hronek, when it comes to relative rates) on the Canucks defence to-date for this preseason. And even that last game, where some media members were looking to cancel the McWard experiment, he still finished a +2 (and the Canucks won the game). Kinda funny to see how quickly those media guys turned against the kid, and now how quickly they’re seemingly reversing their comments, after seeing the team stick with Hughes-McWard. I’m not saying McWard is “the answer.” But I’m definitely in favour of continuing to give him a look with Hughes this preseason. The overall results (over three games) have been far more positive than negative. Not sure why some in the media were so quick to jump on the kid. I guess negativity sells? Hopefully McWard proves them wrong with a very strong performance in his next game. It's Vancouver media. They'll always find something to b*tch about 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to get something for him,in case we're not good enough this year for him. Then he won't re-sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely liking McWard and want to see more with Hughes. Let's see what happens 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not even a penalty on two of those infraction and one is probably a penalty and the ref like to pick someone who is young and looking good and wants to drag them down. That's a league mandate, they don't want Vancouver to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucklifer Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 22 hours ago, Jester13 said: Juulsen is taller, heavier, and has four years of added man strength on McWard. Juulsen weighs in at 193lb and McWard 205lbs official (not reality) , but Juulsen is the heavier playing partner and McWard is a little more mobile with more offensive upside IMO Just need one them to take the bull by the horns and take this golden opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, really thought Hirose was a good match with Myers last year with the higher Hockey IQ, regardless of his smallish stature. I hope he is the first call up when needed as long as he's in shape and ready to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstorm Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If EP is dealing with an injury or soreness from that cross check he’s going to be angrier than a hornets nest. He’s got a bit of a mean streak when tested and I wouldn’t want to be the one who pushes his button next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're all hyped for McWard, but if Juulsen can find his game with Hughes, that means we have a big and mobile d partner for Hughes rather than a small partner. Unfortunately theres nothing mobile about juulsen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
