This was as much of a team win as anything. 1 hour ago, WHL rocks said: ...This game was way more fun to watch. Both goalies were on their A game. Both teams played great. We won. I kind of agree of the @WHL rocks. I really enjoyed this game. It ranks with opening night against Edmonton for the best game of the season. Why was this an excellent game? 1. The Canucks beat a very good Dallas team. I think this is the game that shows that the Canucks are for real. 2. Demko was very good. But, as @Blue says, this was not a steal. The Canucks were the better team in the underlying stats and by eye test. The goalie at the other end was very good and Dallas played well and played hard. And the Canucks still won and deserved to win. 3. I was really impressed that, after a close first period where Dallas had slight edge, the Canucks came out and dominated the second (14 - 5) in shots. 4. Then the Canucks just shut down Dallas in the 3rd, playing very good shutdown hockey. Remember when no lead was safe? Was that only last year? This is a totally different team. Everyone is buying in. Some other random thoughts. 5. Demko obviously deserved to be first star, but I was glad to Suter as second star. Not only did he score the first (and winning) goal, but he played well at both ends of the ice all night. He got a goal against San Jose but before that he could not get on the scoresheet even though he was playing very well defensively. 6. Joshua again rose the challenge after being healthy scratched last game. Tocchet is doing a good job of getting the most out of Joshua. 7. I continue to be impressed by what a great job JR and Allvin have done in restructuring defensive play. Part of that is coaching, part is personnel as the Canucks brought in guys noted for being very good on the PK (Cole, Hronek, Soucy, Suter). The biggest weakness last year was the historically bad PK. This year the PK is a major strength. 8. This really was a team win, with everyone working hard, but I would mention Mikheyev in particular. He is looking fast and playing an excellent 200 ft. game which makes him a very good fit with Petey.

Isn't afraid of playing aggressive and has been a great addition. Kind of feel like Cole is like Schenn. I hope he stays, and becomes a depth guy as others take the spot that he currently has. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 That fight was payback for that elbow. My throat is still sore from screaming for more size and toughness on our back end. I like how our TOI is more even now too. The two 1st's for Miller and Hero-nek were well worth it. I really concur with Hronek's first on accounts of his work with Huggy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him to be more a shutdown type of center. Anything else is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 1 minute ago, MikeyD said: Friedman had a rough first game and has been great ever since and downright sensational tonight. He broke up around 5 plays along the wall singlehandedly tonight. All of our pairings were fantastic. Our depth were great. Brock had a horrible night only on the basis he was handed like 5 grade A chances and couldn't bury. That's honestly the only negative tonight hahaha Jake Ottinger had a great night for DAL. He was seeing all the pucks and made some great saves. He was definitely on his A game. Similar to Demko. Hughes alone could have had 2 or 3 goals if it wasn't for Ottingers great play... Boeser played well its just that their goalie was having a great night. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just now, WHL rocks said: Patrik Allvin for Jim Gregory Trophy for GM of the year for sure if things keep going the way they are... He's made some bold moves. Using the main asset acquired in the Horvat trade (a 1st round pick) to acquire Hronek. That was a move that could have back fired. Buying out OEL was certainly a bold move. And got to give some kudos to Aquaman for writing that cheque. All the other smaller acquisitions seem to be fitting in nicely as well. There's really no obvious personnel problems on this team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the ones that I saw had them either in the middle just missing the playoffs and one or two even had them in the bottom 1/3rd. Although, to be fair, I may just be simping for the team since the season is still very young and nothing is guaranteed of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzy has much room to improve defensively and well PDG i think hes playing well above his contract value, wont likely complain about his bad mistakes at all this season... playing 18 minutes a night against the teams number 1 line and looking like he belongs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
