    Is there a way to this threads negative rep anymore?

    Who would have thought playing at 150% effort levels the first month or so wasn't sustainable? The boys look gassed, and the difference in top talent and forward depth is showing against the top teams.

    Kind of glad they won, would have felt like a tainted dub after that 3rd goal. God I hope Calvert's okay.

    Given Horvat's struggles I really think we should give him Miller and Pearson and give that line a chance to rekindle the pre-season chemistry. Pettersson and Boeser will find a way to produce regardless of line mates. Leivo's lacked finish but hasn't looked out of place in his brief stint. Leivo - Pettersson - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Miller Baertschi - Gaudette - Virtanen Eriksson - Graovac - Schaller

    McDavid is unfair.

      So much talent wasted in Edmonton - same with Leon. They deserve a better fate.

    No qualms with Makar taking the Calder, what a freaking talent.

      @Pears Bet accepted but how much savings are we talking here?

      it was interesting when benning was asked about taking pettersson. he said they had him picked over the other forwards taken in the draft. but when asked if he would have taken pettersson if makar was still available? he said that would have been a tough call, as he saw makar as a franchise d-man.

      I think you could make a case Quinn is the better dman without the puck but yeah, that offensive skill set is quite something. I do think we're going to have RoY finalists 3 years in a row tho which is a nice feat for Benning.

    Hope he can add some finish to his game. He creates so many opportunities for himself I'd hate to see him follow in the mold of so many other speedsters who can't put the puck in the net.

    This &^@#ing guy can't help himself. God damnit Edler.

    Watching Petey's Allsvenkan highlights ... he really loves that dab celly.

      I bet Petey's secretly the dankest memer on the team.

      @-AJ- He's a big fan of these things

    I think the more pressing issue isn't that he particularly likes to slow the game down, it's that his puck skills and game sense struggle to keep up with an increase in pace. The mistakes he tends to pile up are of the 'split second decision' making variety. You would think that becoming accustomed to NHL speed would help that aspect of his game adapt but it just hasn't and it's hard to see it ever happening.
  12. Mathew Barzal
    Yep, exactly. The issue with Goldobin is he doesn't play a game suitable for a bottom six role so it's top six or bust for him. To be a top six player in the NHL you have to be damn good at every aspect of the game, or at least elite in one.
  13. Mathew Barzal
    On pace for 40 points.
  14. Mathew Barzal
    Watched the highlights and Juolevi had some sick passes this game. If he manages to get his skating up to NHL level we have a top four TWD.

    Awful hit on Gaunce today. Hope he's okay.

      Gross. Say goodbye to your NHL hopes, McCarron. If the AHL has any credibility that will be at least 10 games.

      Garbage play.

       

      I hope someone on Gaunce team &^@#ed that guy up.

       

      Apparently he hurt someone the other night as well.

      A reason I don't really like top prospects playing in that sh*t-show. F*ckin deplorable

  16. Mathew Barzal
    Strange how much this contrasts to this Utica fans perspective. He's been posting clips and consistent updates game to game about Juolevi's shortcomings.
  17. Mathew Barzal
    Honestly, the only forwards with value that would bring back defenseman WORTH obtaining are not up for grabs (Boeser/Horvat/Pettersson). I honestly think it's Podkolzins fate to return us a young bonafide top 2 dman. In the two years he spends in Russia we will likely solidify our top six in some shape or form. He'll be the odd man out.
  18. Mathew Barzal
    Well that was a &^@#ing early era Vigneault team if I ever saw one holy $&!# ahhahaha
  19. Mathew Barzal

    Forgot Gaudette was there to send off the Sedin's. Whatta beaut.

  20. Mathew Barzal
    No, we need to shed bad contracts as early as possible.We might have room to re-sign our big guns but once we start accumulating quality depth there is going to be some tough cap decisions with the way our team is structured. There are too many overpaid bottom six bodies.
  21. Mathew Barzal
    TyMy is gonna be one of those rollercoaster players. At least he isn't boring to watch.
  22. Mathew Barzal
    Nope, it's the truth. I hope Baertschi clears and comes back stronger later this year.
  23. Mathew Barzal
    Wouldn't have been surprised if he did with Baertschi given their obvious chemistry.
  24. Mathew Barzal
    &^@# this. There goes the idea of rolling three scoring lines.
  25. Mathew Barzal
    People there are generally more casual fans, but they tend to be a lot more level headed than on hockey specific forums. At least in the Canucks subreddit.
