SV. Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 A great end to the road trip with a professional performance. More of this over the course of the season and we may be in business for a respectable season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, McLean will always trump (ewww dirty word) Lu I always felt the same way about Markstrom. Especially those soft 1st shot of the game goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that stupid bonehead penalty and I’m all back on the sit his ass on the bench train . Ok, Myers with Soucy on the 3rd pair... You all wanted it, the 9 million dollar d-pair.... The first goal against Sous looked like he saw EP40 with a golden halo around him so of course he isnt going to see Myers wide open to his right.... I am sure it was after the puck left his stick he realized the golden halo was two preds between him and EP. The second goal against was a textbook 3 on 2 and both guys did the right thing. Demko was a little sleepy on that one, to be fair, the slowest night Demko has seen in a few years. Demko likely needed more coffee instead of water. But what other team can say they are spending 9 Million cap on the 3rd pair? We fancy now, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Petey should go back to his old stick Canucks are 4-2 (2nd in the Pacific) Oilers are 1-4-1 (2nd LAST in the Pacific) I know it's early, but I'm liking this good start from the Canucks. Every point matters. It's not great, Vegas is 7-0, but the Canucks are gelling and by mid-season I think they'll be a well oiled machine, shutting teams down, winning games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always did too... and dont with Demko and DeSmith! the only thing for Demko, it feels like if he isnt getting hammered with shots he gets out of his rhythm. Maybe on games when we are in for a O-Zone domination we should have DeSmith in net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Are the numbers from ESPN right? Vancouver 3rd in PP, at 35.3% Vancouver 17th in PK, at 78.9% I thought our penalty kill was a lot better than that. Given some games we were 100% on PK. https://www.espn.com/nhl/stats/team/_/table/offensive/sort/powerPlayPct/dir/desc It's still is night and day so far compared to last year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was to blame on that 3 on 2, it was executed perfectly by Nashville. First goal was on Soucy, he did the right thing though trying to bank it off the boards, Preds played it well. If Soucy put it up higher off the boards maybe it doesn’t happen, but then he also has a higher risk of putting it out of play and getting a penalty too. I didn’t like that he got a little interfered on the play and couldn’t get to the shooter because of it, thought they could’ve called a penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 6 hours ago, EagleEye said: My thoughts as well.. I think we can get some of that work done this offseason. 32 mill to spend. Say its 19 for EP and FH, we have 13 mill fill out the lineup. I would expect that we will see Garland get moved at some point to create some more space. We have a number of young guys looking like they could make a run at a spot out of camp next year: Bains, Pods, Sasson, Aman, Karlsson, maybe even Lekkerimaki could all get looks. McWard and Hirose are going to get NHL time this year on D as well. I think we are 1 or 2 quality moves away from being a pretty solid team. Having some quality depth in Abby creates a bit more room to make them happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought Garland would have been moved by now as well, but maybe thats coming this week with a few days off? watching Fabbro last night tho I'm not sure thats a deal I'd want anymore, not sure he'd be an upgrade for us. Without moving Myers its going to be hard to really improve things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think may be movable at the td if we hold back 2M cap. For a 4th or 5th. But if were heading for the playoffs we may need him as a 7-8 dman.

Think of it like a fishing boat: We've got 2 huge halibut (40lb & 43lb) in the bottom on ice, Some nice Springs packed on top with more ice, and A school of coho, just landed and floppin' around a bit, but getting sorted, and We're havin' a couple-ah beer in the setting sun. We've got a bunch of bait out there but its getting a little tired and we may have to pack it in soon. All in all, a great day on the water. Now I'm frickin hungry and thirsty!
