For a guy who lacks some NHL strength, I noticed him make good plays, win puck battles, and even hammer a few opponents in close. I thought he looked NHL ready for a sheltered role…just needs a better partner than Juulsen Yeah there was a play in the third where EDMs D send the puck up the wall through the neutral zone & Hirose pinched up to cut if off, perfect read & sent the Oilers back into their own end. Juulsen isn't great as a regular but the one thing I like is he throws his weight around, can't have too many guys puck watching. Myers I thought also had a tough game, need to get another D in here to push those guys down the lineup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with them so far. They just make the safe plays and avoid risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he had more "offensive impact" and production than Hughes despite being partnered with Cole in an largely matchup role. You'd also not that most of the guys playing in match up roles against Edmonton's better players, unsurprisingly have graphs mostly on the bottom left of that graph.... Pettersson (who's a complete 2 way stud) being the obvious exception. Myers behind in the ~middle of that graph is a pretty darn good result really. Tyler Myers is a high-event player. Everything happens when he's on the ice, both good and bad. Makes for very entertaining (albeit stressful for Canuck fans) hockey. He is chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re not bashing Myers you’re not doing it right. As for any Dman that stood out in a bad way it was a few of the Juulson give aways, one which led to the nuge goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his gaffs, Juulsen did have a few solid hits as well, and I like that part of his game as well. completely agree that adding a RD should be top priority 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Man so many good new players. Cole has been outstanding Lafferty has been great and made huge plays in both games. DeSmith was lights out and now we have a solid backup for Demmer. Plus Suter is a solid addition as well. He's been playing really good making some very good defensive plays. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got some good players but Foote, Gonchar and Clarke really have these guys drilled. 40 shots and 7 PPs against isn't great, and the 2 goals against on scramble plays could have/should have been avoided by better defensive battles by Myers and Juulsen, but then on the other side of the ice the Oilers did not defend those tip goals at all and how did they give up a 2 on 0? The biggest thing I take from this is that it was a team performance. You've got fringe AHLers scoring great, key goals in this game playing with our stars. Our bottom 6 is so much more improved and that's something which we haven't had for a while - meaningful depth. Obviously monster game by DeSmith but you wonder if we had a sharp Demko in net if this is a 4-1 or 4-2 game. When you play a team with a few players like McWhine and Drai, this can easily happen... Thing is the team never folded despite being put under pressure... This was a massive statement game, as Oilers really wanted revenge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially against a high powered team like the Oilers, it's an impressive task. If they keep playing like that late in games when leading this team will hold on to a lot of leads leading to wins. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
