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" Edler was awesome,the 2nd coming of Mattias Ohlund. Think I could play a decent game paired up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being they're in the midst. If you choose to lay out lame insults over facts that's your choice. But only you can believe your "problems" People call the pretenders because lack of team defense and goaltending and over reliance on the pp for most of their goals. Bad d and goaltending get exposed in the playoffs and the deeper you go in the playoffs, the number of pp a team gets also goes down. They will be a great regular season team but their overall team and strategy will not allow them to do well in the playoffs.

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. Yup we gotta unload Myers - he’s ok for a low minute low risk d man but ya - he’s a liability- he is making better plays this year but he needs to be let go Edited October 15, 2023 by I.AM.THE.WALRUS 1 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) nah... he's ok but in todays nhl is worth less just due to his numbers and the fact he needs a steady top 4 dman to cover his weakness... i'd be happy paying him in the soucy cole range, not much more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JamesB Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Tough, gritty, road win. Satisfying win in a totally different way from the home opener. The Oilers dominated play most of the time, so the Canucks were "lucky" to get the win, but the Canucks did a lot of good things to steal the game. 1. The Oilers came out hot and looked like they were going to run the Canucks out of the building after scoring the first goal. But the Canucks had a lot of pushback, took the lead, and shut the Oilers down in the second half of the first period. And the pushback came in the form of playing a 200 ft game, playing hard on the boards (and everywhere else), and playing in their system. 2. Obviously DeSmith was excellent. I am counting this as a "steal" for DeSmith even though he gave up 3 goals. 3. In the advanced stats, the Oilers were way ahead. Part of that is that they trailed most of the time so they were always chasing. So almost every Canuck had negative advanced stat numbers. But there was one Canuck forward with amazingly positive numbers: Petey. 4. Petey was the only Canuck with more on-ice danger chances for than against: 4-1. Also, he played almost 11 minutes against Draisaitl and almost 10 minutes against McDavid -- slightly less than Miller (12 and 12), but he played a lot of tough minutes. In the stats, Petey actually outplayed both McDavid and Draisaitl when on the ice against them. And he played with many different line mates. Miller played well and hung in there, but he was statistically dominated by both McDavid and Draisaitl. 5. Anyone still complaining about "wasting" a 5th round pick on Lafferty? That was a great pickup. He turn-stiled Eckholm for the winning goal. He played quite a bit with Petey late in the game to hang on to the win. The other late summer acquisitions (DeSmith and Suter) also played crucially important roles. Excellent management moves without much in the way of cap space or other assets to work with. 6. Hronek and Hughes continue to look great, but there is a risk of overworking them. Cole is good and Myers was up and down. But Myers has done better than I expected in a second pairing role. Still a struggle for the 3rd pairing, but I it will help when Soucy comes back. 7. Have to say something about Hoglander. He had a very good game (in limited ice time) in addition to getting a key goal and a key assist.

I think the team has started well, but the next four games on the road will also be telling. They have a long ways to go still with the road trip. But your right. I can't wait for Soucy and Blueger to come back to the line up. Reinforcements coming, and the team is holding their ground with the Oilers having both McDavid and Draistl as part of the Oilers offense. Gutsy game tonight in Edmonton, consider the media has been drumming how pissed off Edmonton was. At the end of the day, we won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's the worst possible D to be out there on the first shift against the Oilers, at their home opener, after we humiliated them 8-1. You seriously don't think they're coming out firing on all cylinders? Myers is a chaos. Who in their right mind would even consider putting him out there on the opening faceoff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
