Garland likes to play with the puck.. but when you have EP and Kuzmenko that is much better than he is with the puck.. he needs to just go straight to the net look for the pass instead of trying to play with the puck. Oddly enough, the guy I first thought of that would be absolutely PERFECT in that line was the guy we traded to MTL ( Tanner Pearson) Just does the spade work in the corners, goes in the front of the net, wins puck battles. Perfectly ok with being the backup singer while Kuz and Petey do their thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait for Mikheyev to return. He is the perfect wingman for Petey and Kuzy. He will complete that line. Garland and Beauvillier must be moved. $9.1 million in cap space between the both of them.

Garland is not that player on a line with Petey and Kuz. They should either move Hoglander back up there, or try Joshua or Lafferty until Mik is back. Studnicka spent some time with Petey tonight but I don’t think he will be with the team once Mik is healthy.

Joe King Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 This game was probably just as problematic for the Coilers as the first game. They came out flying dominated Offensively [but not defensively ] and still lost a very important game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ian Clarke keeps his impressive work with our goalies all the goalies will want to play in our system. I just hope one of our goalies learns and retains enough to take over as goalie coach for when coach Clarke retires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 This is the difference between solid defence and goaltending and I think it stems from the coaches more than the players. 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) TBH I didn’t think we would get 2 wins in October the way we have started recently and with the tough schedule. Hard to beat a team 5on7 and we did today. The refs really tried to give it to the Oilers. As expected a lot of dirty shots from the Oil. On the Studnicka goal it amazed me that not one commentator mentioned the dangerous Draisaital’s (edit-my bad was Nurse)slew foot on Pettey on the play. Nice to see the bottom six coming up big. Great to see Hogz in there. We will look much better when we get healthy. Getting Garland to third and Beau in the press box and sliding Myers (who looked awful early tonight after being pretty good night before) to third pairing and getting Blueger back in bottom six makes for a deep solid 4 line team. Coaching looks great. When the Caps were at their best it looked like they were all skating as a unit, like a school of fish. We are starting to get that look. Traps everywhere, pushing people to outside and clogging the lanes. Edited October 15, 2023 by DrJockitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had something like a 10 game point streak when we weren’t getting any other points. I think the problem was more the team lost confidence in him. Glad he is doing well, De’Smith looked solid last night so not going to worry about waiver wire backup goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really that comparable. That 2011 team was one of the best the NHL has ever seen. Best 5 on 5 offence AND defence, best PP AND best PK in the entire league all in the same year. I don’t know if that’s ever been done before, definitely has not happened since.

Zodiak Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Biggest difference this season so far is believe attitude and actually having some defenseman. If we could have had defense last couple seasons we would have been better. If we can snag anther righty with size we’re looking good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
