He had a pretty good game against a cup contender. Wow, the first post besides me to admit Myers might be OK if he can change his game. And he is gettting that opportunity with Cole. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, whoever chose to put Myers out on the first shift is an absolute idiot. Period. Who in their right mind wouldn't expect an onslaught right from the get-go and have a guy out there who's just a give away machine? He's not the guy you want out there. Myers always tries to be more than what he is and should be. That's why he's always causing chaos. If he managed those numbers tonight, good on him. But he is not someone you want a team that is going to contend, and definitely not someone I'd have on my team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has a lot of talent just ... Ugh I don't even know he's an enigma? 3 minutes ago, Tusk said: Wow, the first post besides me to admit Myers might be OK if he can change his game. And he is gettting that opportunity with Cole. That was part of my hot take - Myers not asked to be matchup + playing with some decent partners like Cole and maybe Soucy should add up to a decent year for the big guy. He’s always going to have his gaffes - and everyone will pile on after them and I’m not suggesting he’s worth 6 mil a year… BUT we saw how a true league minimum “replacement” level guy like Juulsen held up tonight and it wasn’t pretty. Myers +1 and chipping in an assist in almost 20 min with some big plays is what you get from a solid 4-5 guy which is what he is. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookieFan Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 The true turning point in the game was when Drais got a surprise penalty for swaping away DeSmith stick while on a powerplay, that was a back breaker. Also McDavid took a interference penalty mid way through the 3rd he was irate about, those two penalties cost Oilers the game. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusk Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 All the shit talk about Myers should be over. Same with Boeser Same with Garlund. We have a great team. We have what we need this year.

And a historically good PP, multiple 100+ point players including the best player in the world. Even if you don’t think they’re contenders, it’s not because of their top of the lineup offensive talent. No one in the world is stopping them when they’re firing on all cylinders. That includes Hughes-Hronek or Cole-Hronek or whatever pair you would have preferred. Myers bounced back and settled down, that’s what matters in the long run.

As if it’s a fleeting occurrence. This is just Canucks hockey now and the wins are going to keep on coming. With a few more of these days, I’d put good money on the media pivoting to the narrative of all the things that “need to go right” are “just going right” for us right now; as if waiting for the other shoe to drop. Remember as per Drance " just one game ". Narrative already alive and well. Sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's big but not mobile, at times clumsy, he can box guys out, with the right guy he is a solid #2 RD but without that defensive guy it's a tough sale eh. I noticed Julsen and Hirose just weren't ready. Or the skill isn't there. Long term at least. We need to hunt down a 25 yr old RD once again before the TDL or at (at a surplus) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never start Myers on the road because every coach knows to pressure him hard and fast right off the bat. Cause 8/10 times he gets nailed, takes a needless penalty or just gift wraps the opponent a grade A chance. At home he ain’t much better at low event shifts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I am very much impressed with Sam Lafferty. The man is pure grinder who puts 100% every shift. I'm glad he's converting on his chances here. Worst case scenario - his bucket falls off and he blinds the opposition. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers of 2 and 3 seasons ago was playing with Adam Gaudette/beagle and the 4th line more so than any other player... and had to contend with Green's Genius of consistent double shifting the guy. And well last year, he had to contend with a injured and washed up OEL who was a terrible fit for his style... lets not forget 4 seasons ago with Edler, him and eddy had about a 82.5% pk percentage on the number 1 pk unit... he has played great with us when matched with a Eddy like player AKA "Cole" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just settling in to watch the game, knowing the Oilers were going to come out, "all guns ablazing", then they score, and I look, there's Myers. And I'm like WTF? Who in their right mind would have this clown out there knowing these guys were coming out firing on all cylinders? Dumb friggin' coaching choice. Period.

I hate everyone but the nucks since I was a kid watching the 94run with my dad.. but man the are favourites for top 2 in our division,outside the west (Pacific) Colorado and Dallas maybe?
