    So many people on here are going to be flabbergasted when we get a new coach and we still bleed goals against. This 'defense' Benning built simply isn't that good. Myers is a third pairing defender ideally, Edler and Tanev have slowed down a lot and Stecher and Fantenberg should not be in the NHL. Green's hand has been forced recently to play a offensive defenseman 27 minutes in a game because we have no better options. That back end needs to be torn down and reconstructed.

    Baertschi left the game with the athletic trainer in the second period. Hope it's not concussion related, guy can't catch a break.

    Spoke too soon, Lafreniere is back on the menu boys and girls. https://streamable.com/jfwls

    This defense is obsessed with taking soft, crest shots from the point. Ugh.

    Your best bet in the future is if you know an artist is coming to town in advance is to scout out when pre-sale tickets via the off the official retailer. I use an app called BandsInTown to know when my favourite bands have local concerts announced. If you look up "Band X" + "Vancouver" on facebook there'll usually be an event page up if they're even remotely popular. That'll usually have a link to the official seller + pre-sale codes. Otherwise, honestly buying tickets off stubhub the day of the concert if you have the patience. That's when the scalpers get semi-desperate. Like Aladeen said though, if tickets have already been put on sale you're gonna get &^@#ed.

    WTF TANEV

    Lmfao, Motte is good at every aspect of hockey except the part where the puck is on his stick.
  8. Mathew Barzal
    Definitely didn't see this one coming. /s Hopefully Demko adapts to the new workload quickly.
  9. Mathew Barzal
    This is what I came to comment. Possession, possession, possession. Hughes knows the name of the game.

    This isn't hot potato Myers you numbnut. Stop with that flip play.
  11. Mathew Barzal
    Feels weird to not be invested in a draft, outside the top ten I'm pretty clueless.
  12. Mathew Barzal
    If Markstrom's injury is bad there's a decent chance we miss the playoffs. There's no way Demko is ready to carry this team's defense. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

    Gaudette's frame is really underrated, just looking at him now I know if he fills out the kid will be a forechecking monster.

    Oh God you're right
  16. Mathew Barzal
    ... What? Lol. I was referring to Bo with the poor chap.
  17. Mathew Barzal
    Wonder if we can get them to bite on Myers.
  18. Mathew Barzal
    Pearson and Eriksson.
  19. Mathew Barzal
    Give him to Bo damnit! Poor chap gets saddled with scrubs.

    I think the failure in our systems lies a lot in our awful defenseman. None of them are capable of generating a clean transition off the break out pass aside from Hughes. We chip and chase because that's all our defenseman allow our forwards to do. They wait, and wait, and wait until the forwards have to track back to take a pass and by then the neutral zone is clogged.
  21. Mathew Barzal
    Hmm new thought. Keep the chemistry swap the wingers. Pearson - Pettersson - Toffoli Miller - Horvat - Virtanen
  22. Mathew Barzal
    I hope Toffoli sticks with Bo, I'm bitter for him that Elias stole Boeser and Miller lol.
  23. Mathew Barzal
    TYLER FOLI!
  24. Mathew Barzal

    Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
    Toffoli - Bo - Pearson
    Leivo - Gaudette - Virtanen
    Sutter - Beagle - Motte

    That's some forward depth, hope our defense can keep up lol ...

      It's not a question on whether our D can keep up....it's whether they can stay healthy.

       

      We have depth on the bottom end of the lineup (defensively) but it's razor thin up front (top four).

      Edler and Tanev are the defenseman I trust in our own zone currently. Even if healthy I question our ability to handle forwards with the size+speed combo come playoff time.

      Myers has been fairly reliable in his own end so far for us...I am worried when Tanev or Edler get their usual injuries (we’ve been lucky so far....knock on wood).  As that means Myers will be facing not just more minutes but tougher ones as well.  He can’t do it alone and we have little depth on the blueline to handle even if one of those two are out.

    If we don't make the playoffs after this move Jim needs to be dumped.
