They might need to break up Hronek and Hughes to keep everyone on their proper sides but I do know Cole-Soucy can play their off sides so could work! Cole and Soucy played together as a pair in Minny. That pair should be looked at when Soucy is back. Drop Myers to the third with Hirose or Brisebois. With less minutes I think Myers can bring more to the table. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's ok with paying off Benning's mistakes like OEL, I'm pretty sure a star player that helps you sell out the building will be a no-brainer. Both sides knows that... Its a no brainer...

But by the end of the first period he has more than made up for any gaffes. And he seems to get better as the game goes on. And he was injured too. Probably by around the 15th game, he's going to be firing on all cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s looking like we’ll need to slide a lefty over, or should at least give it a look. Cole has been terrific, but Myers looked very scrambly in game 2 Edited October 15, 2023 by Huggy Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players will take the shot them selves, but Petey played in Stud and to out the D himself... Had Stud not scored the Canucks would have gone on the PP... it was a great play, and also took the keeper by surprise. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been so proud of this team in ages... Too many outstanding performances to mention, but obviously DeSmith has to be named... Back up goalie? On that performance he could be starting goalie for half the teams in the NHL. And the usual unsung heroes in the bottom 6... Just fantastic effort from everyone. Even if there was the odd gaffe, they didn't let they head down, but battled even harder. So damn proud of the boys today. Keep it up boys. This was key IMHO. They didn’t let one mistake turn into another, and showed resiliency. Quick to answer after a goal, killing a lengthy 5 on 3 after clearing it over the glass… 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a moment of magic and shear class... Really stocked for Studnicka. I had zero expectations from him this year and thought he has shown exceptionally well. When I was at training camp, he immediately stood out as one of the most improved. Was disappointed to see him sent down, but I'm really happy he's getting a chance here as depth. Wouldn't be surprised to see him take another step this year and become a viable long term 4th line option. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not surprised Hirose had a positive impact in limited minutes. 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Our 4th line guys scored 3 of the 4 goals, that's the kind of contribution you like to see. Huge confidence boost getting both of these against EDM, now onto the rest of the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sign of solid coaching, you see it a lot in the playoffs when teams just run riot and sweep another team. In the first game I don't think Edmonton played particularly well but in this last game they threw everything they had at us and it still wasn't enough despite our backup goalie playing and us dressing two AHL defencemen. Our big defencemen Cole, Hughes and Hronek logged something like 23-25 minutes so it'll be interesting to watch that over the course of the season. At least we're not breaking Hughes' back anymore but Cole and Hronek are playing big time minutes (obviously lots on the PK tonight). Looking at our roster right now we look pretty solid but there are some fringe AHL/NHLers we could replace with a trade for a top guy. Our scoring is coming from everywhere right now so wouldn't be too fussed about acquiring a top-6 winger, but boy could we use a top-4 defenceman to get send Hirose and Juulsen back down to the AHL. Still have Mika to come back and Soucy on the backend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just watched the post game ... noticed the media are repeating Tocchet's talking point ... "hard on pucks" ... "battles on boards" ... they're starting to use the word "battle" like they used "structure". 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 being in the ~middle of that graph is a pretty darn good result really.
