Popular Post Barnstorm Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 Batchelor on 650 just pointed out that Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal will all be on the 2nd game of back to backs on the upcoming trip. Vancouver will only be in that position on Sunday in Montreal after Saturday in Toronto. This bodes well for success. 4 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, he is not quite sold on some of his puck managment/decisions and to be fair he is good for a gaff or two every game. But the absolute demon he is on the forecheck, and the fact he is developing into an absolute elite pest to other teams AND the fact he provides an offensive threat from the bottom 6 deserves more praise from the coach I think. But perhaps Tocchet just doesn’t want to Hogz to become complacent with his spot in the lineup. A spot which should be absolutely safe. I’d park Joshua and Bovillyeh before Hogz. The way he is playing I might mix up the lw a bit, just to see.

What an absolute animal that kid is in the corners. Him and Garland are out working and out muscling guys much bigger than themselves. Hoglander especially. 3) TYLER FUCKING MYERS 4) FRIEDMAN 5) COLE These guys are fucking punishing everybody 6) Quinn Hughes is officially a complete dman. His defensive game is far above and beyond last year, he is the walk away Norris at this point and its not even close. There you go @Alflives I’m ready to say that QH is finally one of the best defenders. Personally as someone who has played defence my whole life and played to a pretty decent level I’ve always paid heavy attention to the defensive zone. QH wasnt nearly as effective in the dzone as his is to this point this season. He is on an entirely new level. 7) This entire team top to bottom front to back left to right destroyed Edmontons hopes and got them so far off their games that their entire top line was in the box, Ekholm took a stupid penalty on a guy half his size, McDavid and Draisaitl completely lost their minds and its only 11 games into the season. 8 ) I have been saying this for quite some time, this team has always had this potential, they just needed to put their games together at the same time. We finally have our star players ALLLLL playing at their best at the same time. I also said we just needed to build a better bottom 6, good goaltending and to address the PK and here we are 80% PK shutting McDavid out, Demko is healthy and we have a quality backup who CAN be relied on. No more 60% PK no more Spencer Martin. Our bottom 6 has been impactful every game and they are leading to extended zone time and making quick work in our zone to get the puck out. And @AnthonyG Alf’s empties are admitting our core was built by Benning. Demko, Petey, Miller, Hughes, Boeser (he’s played like a core piece again) and Miller. Is there a club with the elite players we have in the key positions of goalie, top two D, top two centres, and scoring winger?

Mando27 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It's pretty tiring listening to all the stat watchers saying the Canucks are playing over there heads. Do I expect them to play like this every game? No, but it's funny nobody mentions how the Oilers last year had a record season for everyone in their lineup. Add to the fact that they had an insane PP% last year as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Darius Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 For decades Ive always thought of Bure as the Canuck GOAT. If Hughes keeps this up it will be hard not to describe him as the most impactful player in the history of the team. Just trying to process how this team has turned it around...the majority of moves this management team have made are turning or have turned into gold: - the prospects they have selected/signed excelling in the leagues they play in - the coaching staff they chose. I was choked at how they handled uncle Bruce, but when Rutherford kept bringing up the lack of structure its is crystal clear what he meant now that they do play with structure - Hughes as the captain - Trading Bo instead of caving into the contract demand/expectation - Hronek, Soucy, Cole!! Perfect compliments in the positions they play which has resulted in Myers being put in a role he can excel in. - Suter....and Im willing to bet that Blueger will be a solid player - Demko has a legit backup in DeSmith Other random thoughts: - keep Garland. Hes a pitbull and gives the forward lineup balance in the bottom two lines. Look at last night, coilers had no match for our third and fourth lines. - so happy to see Brock putting it all together. Playing hard on the boards, back checking, even throwing hits. Even during his lowest days it was obvious (to some anyway) that he could process the game at a high level. I think this will be the year he breaks 30. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team will need to keep those types of slow starts down to 4 or 5 more for the remainder of the season, of which hopefully Demmer can keep them in 2 or 3 till they wake up. I find it a bit funny how the "punish them on the power play' mantra is once again an acceptable technique; when just a few years back a lot of folk where completely choked by that line of thought. Guess having new coaches, doing the same thing, is now somehow different. 16 minutes ago, stawns said: Nothing feels sweeter than strict discipline to (mostly) skate away, punish them on the scoreboard, watch them implode and then laugh while they do. It's so much more satisfying than trying to beat them down physically @Gurn you raise a good point. I had to think for a minute why I used to be angry when people said make them pay on the scoreboard but why I was happy when we sent out pp1 and scored in the final minute last night. Its all about context of the game. The Oilers were super frustrated. It wasn't goons or nobodys taking runs at guys like Petey and Hughes. We literally had their top line sitting in the box. 3 superstars essentially taking weak penalties because they were having a hissy fit. So it makes sense to run up the score on the scoreboard because that hurts them more. In contrast, if we had a guy like deharnais or nurse running around trying to take out Hughes with a cheap shot, I would be furious if we sent out pp1 as a response. I would expect Joshua, Myers, Cole to go after MCDavid in retribution. Edited November 7, 2023 by CanucksJay 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The way it looks to me right now is we have 3 spots to exchange for bigger, more skilled players: Joshua, Beau, Friedman. Not that they are stinking up the rink (although Joshua's penalties are so dumb) but thats where I think we can replace guys, get better and not mess with the team chemistry too much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
