My highschool woodshop/science teacher was 'vertically challenged' as he put it. If you were talking with your classmates instead of working, he'd walk under the bench and pop up between you. Scared the shit out of me the first time, fell off the stool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, let's do basic stats then. His hustle is fantastic but I think Garland has the skill set to be a better top six forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he can play there till something opens up in the top. Leaves room for deals at deadline. PDG needs to get some points and gain some value. Or at least get into more fights than Cole and Joshua. We can retain some cap as long as the team improves, not a lot but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone suggesting line changes keeps Miller, Boeser and PDG together as the "second line" and everyone is trying to sus out the Petey line cause they are underperforming the "second line" Petey, Mik and Kuz are a perfect line!!!! People!!! They dont have to be the first line!!!! Stop putting all the pressure on them!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said initially anyone that watches the game knows why Giuseppe is on that Miller line and Garland is on the Suter line. Fits well with Miller and Boeser, playing against other teams best players, on pace for 40 points, penalty kill, no power-play time, part of one the best shutdown lines, and good defensively. Doing all this making less than one million. Garland fits well with Suter right now. That’s why that line is doing so well.

To be fair, Puis Suter has kinda figured out where to be when Garlund is going into the boards. Its only been a few or 5 games but please, review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my initial post was really just based on the eye test but everyone wants to compare stats and advanced stats so desperately. Line chemistry is a thing. Giuseppe is the best fit for the Miller line. Garland is the best fit for the Suter line. There is a reason why both lines are doing so well, especially the Suter line now. I will defend Giuseppe though. He’s outworked a lot of players and earned his spot and I think a lot of people having a hard time accepting that. I don’t get why. I can understand if he wasn’t putting up points, but he has 7 points in 15 games so far. Anyways both players are great for the team and I’d like to see Garland stay, but I also understand the cap reasons as to why they want to trade him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Seems to be playing awesome on the third line. I don’t see a reason to break anything up. Beau is moveable. Garland is better here with us now but will be probably be moved in a year or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420Fish Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Have the Canucks even seen Garland at the top of his game yet? He seemed like such a threat in Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolexSub Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 5 hours ago, Miss Korea said: I have always been a believer in Conor Garland. He is a crafty playmaker with a very unique playing style. Watch him closely and he makes excellent plays on both sides of the ice. He puts very good passes into the slot - although his teammates haven't converted many chances yet, they are expected to come. I don't know if he's a good fit on this team per se, but I think he should absolutely be bumped up to the line with Miller. Do I think Tocchet is going to demote Di Giuseppe, his favourite player? I hope he does. Di Giuseppe is a hard-working defensive winger and the hustle he brings is a better fit on the third line. I agree with you take Giuseppe out and put Garland in their possibility if that line comes up dry!! But so far all lines are playing well so it's hard to break that chemistry they have right now. But if they had to this is one great option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck You Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I've always been a fan of Garland but after watching him play lately I'm now an air conditioner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you think Petey is the "top line" opportunity. The problem with Garlund on that line is he never had to fight to get the puck. I have no problem with Deseppie pizza but he only is useful on the forcheck but seems much less efficiant at actually getting the puck than Garlund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
