Can't blame them for dreaming because they know they're stuck. No cap space and neither of their goalies can stop a beach ball right now. Media and oils fans are all piling on the goaltending. Honestly though, I think if they are able to play some team defense it wouldn't be this bad. Their success hinges on McDraisatl outscoring opponents on PP, which isn't sustainable in playoffs especially when they face a 4-line team like Vegas. I'm glad our team isn't structured this way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the old BS voodoo crap, bad luck, bad refereeing, league cabal mistreatment, media hatred, etc, with it. With JR, can we hope we are closer to being in the Old Boys Club? I think we can. I think we can become the Cinderella Team of the NHL this year; then defending Champs thereafter. GO CANUCKS GO!

(situationally) I think RT is going to be a real players coach. He clearly defines what's expected of his players. He cuts things out like the morning skate if he sees its a waste of time for both the players and the staff. What he's teaching the team is to be efficient. When you're on the ice, give it your all and then get off the ice. No wasted breath or efforts. Loved that he can see the flaws from the last oilers game and he'll push the right buttons to get some players going. The canucks are learning to be a professional team. Practice hard, rest, and then show up for the games. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm a dog walker/sitter so I can actually wear all that stuff. I also have a Demko new Skate jersey, Podz reverse Retro, Odjick First Nations, and the orange First Nations jersey.

A pairing of Soucy and Juulsen is not easy prey. If anything, Soucy will help to support Juulsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The Friedman acquisition makes me think the Canucks might try running with Soucy-Friedman and leave Juulsen as the 8th D or waived to Abbotsford for depth. Friedman is physical but might be better with the puck than Juulsen. Juulsen's generally been a good story since joining the Canucks but he does seem to have trouble processing and executing the game at the NHL level. Friedman-Soucy could give the Canucks a pretty physical D pair that can still move the puck. If the Canucks are able to clear cap space and re-sign Bear, then that can push Friedman down to 8th D (which is perfectly fine since he's a 27-year old now, not a prospect). They'll be reasonably deeper on defense whether or not they are able to acquire a RHD in a trade for a forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I am not up to date with the cap situation Do all our guys fit under the cap when the injured return? , (Soucy, Mikheyev) or will we be playing a man short?

Locke Lamora Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Prior Canuck teams would be feeling pretty happy with the 2-0 start and would likely lay an egg in a game like today’s. Let’s see if the Tocchet effect makes a difference tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Thomas Drance on 650 radio said: "Based on yesterday's skate and mobility, I hedge a guess Carson Soucy plays tonight". Meaning Studnicka or Hirose would have to go down. I'd imagine the Canucks won't want to go with only 6 healthy Dman on roster for the rest of the road trip.
