I think youre wrong to call out myers. Actually Heronick and even Hughes looked streached tonight and Myers and Cole looked amazing on the 5 on 3.

Not trying to call him out. Yes he had a good defensive game. But let’s hope he has 7/10 good games than his usual 3/10 

[JeremyCuddles]

Now that the high of the win is off. Time to roast our 3rd pair. Juulsen was trying his hardest to go back to Abby, Hirose is decent but also probably should be in Abby. Our 3rd line got beat up a fair bit. Need size on that line. I know we're not 100%, but it also shows how our depth falls off after one or two injuries. But I am excited for getting Blueger and Mikheyev back up front and Soucy on the back end. But if we can move Garland for a RHD like being rumored, preferably one with size and can actually hang in the NHL. I'll feel more comfortable.

 

Edit: Said Soucy instead of Garland. I am stoop

He's made a couple of mistakes, the goal and penalty last night, obviously, but I think he's been fine otherwise........the Oilers are a fast team and both ge and Hirose held their own in both games. 

He has been bad for 2 games in a row. We can’t afford to keep him in the lineup until we have secured a playoff spot. Juulsen needs to be sent down

If they called the penalty it took place a fraction of an instant before the goal so it could/would be a delayed call nullified by the goal. In a sense Nurse knew he had a free one and took it.

 

And if a player suffers injury, the offender would likely see a suspension and a fine. There's no way the league wouldn't review it with clear intent like that.

 

Only a matter of time before he hurts someone. Dirt bag Marchand type move.

They played very good holding on to a 1 goal lead. 

 

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. 

 

they didn't have the energy in the 2nd to produce much offence and fend off McBaby, and even then they found a way. 

 

I'm a little concerned Torts is going to try to beat us into submission on Tuesday, but thats another lesson for this group.

The chaos giraffe does it again

 

Thanks for posting this. The underlying numbers come from Natural Stat Trick, which I often use as well.

 

One important thing to keep in mind is that those numbers do not adequately adjust for quality of competition. Against a team like the Oilers, that is a huge effect.

 

That is why Hughes and Hronek apparantly rank below Hirose and Juulsen! 

 

That is also why Miller is at the very bottom of the pile, as he played about 12 minutes each against McDavid and Draisaitl. He played a physical game (8 hits) and played hard, but the ice was tilted when he was on ice against either of those guys.

 

However, the thing that is not a mirage is Petey. He played almost 11 minutes and Draisaitl and almost 10 against McDavid and his numbers were still very positive. The ice was tilted in favor of the Canucks when Petey was on the ice against either McDavid or Draisaitl. 

 

Petey is by far the best forward on the team (obviously) and should be the favorite for the Selke trophy if the Canucks make the playoffs.

That's a Bob Hartley type of move (imho) not Fonze's really (again imho).

Ive never heard of this rumour to move the guy who hasn’t played a game for us yet.   
Sounds like BS. 
Where is it from?

No he hasn't.  H s made a few mistakes, but he's also made some good, solid plays too.  

 

Just the newest instances of the bloodlust amongst this fanbase

I'd vote for him considering the alternatives, but isn't he American?  

 

You are correct. 

 

Myers for President Minister.

was watching them a bit on the weekend, there's an edge to that team. 

 

But thats OK, like I said we need to learn how to handle a bigger team.

I love the fact that they are paying Darnell 9.5 sheets a year to be a factor. And we think Myers contract is a massive overpayment. 

Well to be fair, he was a factor in both losses.

Thank fuck shorty is back for the flyers game. No more tv on mute.

[Hairy Kneel]

Showing PDG some love here. Unsung hero on that line. Makes room for everyone.  Gets a lot of room in the crease and on the forecheck. Nobody had him in their opening night line ups.

3rd pair should be a couple of towering redwoods that can play D, like Soucy-Stanley or something like that 

 

Need size and strength that can also play a bit dirty in the playoffs when refs put the whistles away

The thing I like the most is he takes the forechecking pressure off Boeser. While I love that Boeser is a dog on the forecheck himself. He arguably has the second best shot on the team. Having a dedicated forechecker in PDG opens things for Boeser to play more to his style. All 3 dudes are threats on the forecheck and is why that line has consistently been our best imo.

I thought Wollanin might do a better job than either of those two.. but i guess coaches realize he is not physical enough for a shutdown role and we have a couple offensive dmen better than him already

my problem is we got all these people on this site now who we dont know, and for you to come on and mention Utica means you are not a Canucks fan.

You are exactly the reason why we were a Canucks foroum before. I hope you get banned  and blocked.

 

It was a simple mistake. You’re closer to both than he is. Dial it down.

He's probably a lovely guy but if he starts narrating then i'll remind him he's in America and the awkwardness will lead us to a pleasant goodbye.

Why? What egregious errors did he make tonight? I didn’t really notice any from him. I think he’s been pretty steady since not being asked to play 20+ minutes. Still not worth his cap hit, but I don’t begrudge him that

OEL is gone. Myers is now the whipping boy. I know he's not great but come on they won last night.
