Nice bounce back game for the boys. 2 of 3 is a decent road trip! A beatable team who just beat Boston. The Habs are no pushover team. That was a high energy game and they finally looked dangerous 5v5. 4 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Man Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 28 minutes ago, JamesB said: 1. The performance of the Suter line is what jumped out at me in the advanced stats. Garland had a great game and deserved his 2 pts as he has been playing well. Joshua was also very good tonight and Suter has been playing well for a while. Suddenly the Canucks have a good "top 9" ground instead of the traditional "top 6 - bottom 6". And the 4th line has also been chipping in and should get better with Blueger back in. 2. Speaking of Blueger, he was ok tonight but not great, as would expect after a fairly long injury layoff. He will help the team. 3. Hughes played 28 minutes tonight and was excellent-reasserting himself as the top D in the league after a disappointing game in Toronto. 4. In the advanced stats, (Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Stat Cards), Hughes, Garland, Joshua, Boeser and Myers (!) look good. 5. The big concern is the injury to Soucy. When both Myers and Soucy were hurt on the same shift in the 2nd period things were not looking good. Fortunately, Myers was able to come back and play well and Hughes was great. 6. So what about Juulsen? If he was going to get a shot, tonight's game had to be it. He wasn't terrible but it would be hard to say he was good. He made a couple of mistakes that led to Montreal high danger chances. And his penalty on the PK, leading to a 2-man advantage, is what allowed Montreal to get on the scoreboard. It wasn't intentional (a high stick) but it showed a lack of situational awareness and that is one of Juulsen's biggest weaknesses. I like him and I am pulling for him but we don't want him to play too often. All in favor of signing Bear if we can clear cap space. 7. As for Soucy, hope he is ok. If not, looks like Wolanin gets his shot. 8. Petey and Kuzy are not looking great, but Mikheyev had a nice goal and is generally looking good. 9. DeSmith continues to be excellent. Great trade to bring him in. Bottom line: Excellent bounce-back performance to finish a tough eastern road trip (3 games in 4 nights) with a winning record (2 out of 3). Much appreciated summary, as always, thank you. Petey is a bit concerning now, looks like he is a bit off his game now . DeSmith is a fantastic trade for us. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post iceman1964 Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 Well @ 23 points out of a possible 30 and sitting 4th overall, and still acclimating new players and still could yet be tweaked, it's nice to see what the core is capable of or near capable of, as we have witnessed, with huge upgrades over last year for supporting cast way past what I was personally expecting, with Mik and Kuz especially that helped us along and we're hardly playing our best hockey. That will come, but only with experience, and it's a long way to the playoffs. Past that, seems like a bit of a list on the way to compete for upcoming opening spots appear and injury call ups, finally!!! = Depth for a real cup run as the team and depth progress for 2024/2025 when we're set up for one! Seems surreal but if we can keep Toc and co. employed here for awhile, I can see it in the works but looking forward to the ride! 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pesky ,has snarl doesn't back down. Yet RT keeps the in for constantly screwing up. He has lost his game , plus, out of position more than anyone else. I see no logic to this! I expect a comment like this after the Tampa game, but after he’s been pretty solid for the last 10? Keeps screwing up? He hasn’t made a glaring mistake in quite a while. I see no logic in this comment more than sitting Friedman. Friedman had been making more mistakes lately than Myers. Sure you can hate the contract, but if you actually compare the play of both D men, Myers has been much better. 3 2 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamer4GM Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, qwijjibo said: I'm saying having offside reviews for plays that are so marginally offside or for plays that happened WELL before the scoring play is ridiculous. Tell me you've never been passed off when a Canucks goal got disallowed because the play was JUST barely offside They HAVE to be able to call back the close ones just as much as the obvious ones. The line is the line is the line. I understand your position and dislike for it but there's no acceptable alternative. To satisfy your point, you'd need to suggest what they should or shouldn't call instead and there can be no gray area where something as basic as an offside is concerned. It's likely the simplest call to get right thanks to the technology we have. 3 hours ago, Shekky said: 1:14...

Juulsen played parts of a couple seasons for Mtl so it was (at least partly) a classy coaches decision by Toc. EDIT - Oh and, as illustrated by other posts, your Myers take is miles off.

It’s like hard copy confirmation that life is good. I can look at over and over. Me too; "JFL" as the sweet old lady next door used to say. Shits & Giggles: - The Vancouver Canucks, in only 15 games played, the same number of games as the Seattle Kraken, are a whopping 10 points ahead of them. - The Vancouver Canucks have almost twice as many points as Minnesota, twice as many points as Chicago, Nashville, and Calgary, three times as many points as Edmonton, and a whopping almost 5 times as many points as San Jose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieCanuckinUK Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Nice bounce back win, even if two of the goals were empty netters ...but it certainly shows that they are more mentally resilient than last year...so hopefully any real low points will be short lived... and we all know that there will be low points 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
