Taphouse Canuck Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Interested to see who's in goal tonight. Demko wasn't exactly overworked last night and totally deserved the shutout. It's unbelievable that it is only his 4th career shutout, but I guess that's a sad comment on our defence over the last 4 years. I have confidence in DeSmith, but Demmer looks dialed in at the moment. It would be good to ride the wave against a top team and send the Rangers packing with their tails between their legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Athletic had us at 14th yesterday. Toronto at 4th. (Drance was not involved) We are one of the top teams in goal scored, but also one of the lowest in expected goals. It's a combination of unsustainable finishing (skewed by game one) but also some elite scorers who make their chances count (Miller/Pettersson). The biggest transformation is on defense and goaltending. Expected goals down. Actual goals way down. Myers is the exception to this (he is still really inconsistent) but we have reduced his minutes and it has helped overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a really rough call. If they start Demmer and he has a tough game, the majority of cdc and the media will shit all over Tochet for putting him in. Smitty is the logical choice with limited backlash if things don't go right. But I agree, it's not a clear cut case of playing the backup.

Yes, he had an excellent game last night and as a Canucks fan I do hope he strings another dozen of them together in a row. At this point if if Myers puts in 3 good games out of 5, then he is probably worth keeping until the off season. Tocchet has revitalized a number of players, hello Boeser, and getting buy in from all. GO Canucks GO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get Myers has been a huge liability lately and everyone has been piling it on. But his minutes have been limited the last 2 games, and he is noticeably better. What's so wrong with folks acknowledging that, and seeing the positive. He is still over paid, but he is finally in the role people wanted, so relax and enjoy the ride. Maybe shit on Beau for a while instead. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 3 hours ago, BPA said: I wouldn’t mess with the top 6 lines. It’s clicking. Mik EP Kuz PDG Miller Boeser 2 scoring lines that have shown worked so far. It’s the 3rd and 4th lines that need a bit of tinkering. Hughes Hronek combo is a beauty. The other D pairings also need a bit of tweaking. Although Myers played well last night, still not liking a $6M D playing sheltered minutes. Hopefully he continues his improvement and is able to take on more minutes without being a liability. I would like it a lot less if Myers was playing big minutes. As a lot of people have commented, Myers is okay playing sheltered minutes on the third pairing. In that role, he is a positive, as he was against St. Louis. Anything else is asking for trouble. Yes, the 6 Million cap hit is too much, but there is not much the current management group can do about that. It would not even make much sense to try to trade Myers as it would be hard to replace him with a RD as good. If Bear gets healthy and is re-signed, then maybe something happens. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see an overpriced forward corps, an old and soft defense and a young goaltender whose got promise but will be hung out to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
