For Brock it's thinking what his dad would want him to do, this inspired him to 'earn his day' for millzy its about being a complete player a 200 footer, for petey its still about working on his strength and speed and stickhandling. Hughes its all about creativity, keep striving to be the best you can be and dont get complacent with the results, if you need to watch 4hours of how marchand cleanly checks his opponents and does it dirty too. The point is they all have something to work on and they need to trust that everyone is earning their day, no more fights or divided rooms like past years. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hughes is a loyal player, who appreciates the huge honour of being chosen to be the Captain of a (our) hockey team. Best way to hold on to your best players are winning, only few likes to leave a winning team. Yes, winning and listening to your stars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they said that after the game and I was really surprised. I didn't realize they were THAT bad! But they are and it's a nice warm feeling.

Popular Post fanfor42 Posted November 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Whenever somebody worries that Quinn is going to eventually leave the nux to go join his brothers in NJ reflect on this: 1. Quinn is the oldest brother. He is no different than other families. The oldest brother is not likely to bail on his team to go join his younger brothers on theirs. 2. Quinn is the Captain and a solid human. As long as the Canucks are competitive he is not going to bail out on his Captain's role just to go join his brothers. 3. It's actually more likely that one or more of the younger brothers eventually joins their older brother Quinn in Van. I would not worry about this at all. QH will be here for the long haul unless the team is crap. And given how great a player he is becoming...the team will continue to get better as he does.

Junkyard Dog Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 If we continue this trend to the 1/4 mark of the year I would probably look to make moves. Would be nice to add another top 4 D-man and more physicality in our bottom 6. Would give us a more playoff-calibre lineup. Beau, Garland, Myers would be my moveables. Myers has been playing good with 3rd pair minutes same as Soucy but almost double the cost. Probably try to move Garland/Beau first since I would prefer to take away from our forward depth first.

If the team is 14-4-2, after 20 games I ask a bigger question. Why would we need to make moves, if the team is doing so well? No one is going to give you a RHD, or elite centre for scraps. The better the team is performing, the less enticing the 1st round pick becomes. How about do something groundbreaking for the Canucks, build from within?

We see many teams that are amazing in the regular season but then falter in the postseason. You also take into account major injuries and whether we're equipped to deal with them. Playoffs are a different beast, you cannot equate regular season with it and IMO we should add more toward that. The core is good(like with a lot of good regular season teams) just a supporting cast and another key piece on D. You see teams like BOS, VGK and TBL who have solid cores but also have a solid lineup around them. They seem to have more long-term success. That's what we need to achieve. Flames are in the shitter and have RD. Tanev reunion could be a decent placeholder for RD we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of the team making moves, when you're not even sure the team will make the playoffs. This teams history of trades has been meh at best. (Some great, some awful) How about keep our picks and just draft well. When players are doing well in development. If you have a surplus. Then you can make moves. We're not cup favourites yet.

Yeah but if we're strong in the first 1/4 to 1/2 like we haven't shown in a while then you have to reward players who are desperately hungry and have had frustrations/disappointments. You also have to help thrust this team towards longevity with success. The core remaining intact is solidified by success. Management needs to continue to show just as the players. That's why they're looking right now but aren't going balls to the wall. If the team continues down a hot trend then management can take less caution to help prop up the team.

Elias Pettersson Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Who is the one that keeps chirping that Jack Hughes is better than Elias Pettersson? Elias Pettersson - 19 points, +9, 13 hits, 49.6% faceoffs, 3 blocks, 23 minutes on the penalty kill. Jack Hughes - 20 points, -1, 2 hits, 36.2% faceoffs, 3 blocks, 0 minutes on the penalty kill. It's not even close. Elias Pettersson is the most complete and best forward in the NHL... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 7 hours ago, tas said: yeah, means he's learning a new system, and starting to get it. myers has been good for like a half dozen games now and I would bet my paycheque it's not because he's been told to stay home and not jump in. every team in the league wants every one of their d to jump into the play at appropriate times. The system being let the offensive guys be offensive and the others be more defensive. Myers gets himself into trouble when he pinches and thinks too offensively, hence the lack of pinching lately from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamer4GM Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 10 hours ago, -AJ- said: True, but to be fair, the Oilers and Preds have lost twice to us and would have better records if you took our games out. Not only that... I'd wager those two opening losses we handed them took enough of a bite out of their 'Cup or Bust BS' confidence that their subsequent performance could possibly be credited to us as well. Had they won both those games or even just bounced back and won their home opener, they might not currently be sitting nearly as low in the standings and viewed as poorly as they are.
