elvis15 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 No points and a -3 from McEneny tonight. They play again tomorrow against London (should be a good test against a strong team) and I believe their game on Nov 30 is on Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22sedins33 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Watching him play against the Knights today and he looks really big in his own end. He's paired with Murphy and is getting a lot of minutes. It seems no matter what he's using his size out front of the net while Murphy is the one along the board. I'm not sure if that is by design but it's just something I've noticed so far. He's on the top PP and top PK line. Obviously Murphy runs things for the most part on the PP and that kind of limits his involvement because they keep things on the right side. I'm no scout, obviously, but I like what I see in his game. Big steadying influence who looks calm no matter where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know thats high praise for a defensive defenceman, but I didn't find him very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 We'll have to see how he does in the Friday game on Sportsnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McEneny is capable of working along the boards as well, but stays in front of the net because Murphy is unable to clear the crease. And offense on the PP would run through Murphy since that's what he's known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 McEneny is playing on s-pac right now. He scored 1 goal and looks really smooth on the PP, really like this low key signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deirmoc Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Tyson Giuriato @TysonGiuriato #Canucks RT @BrownRecord: Kitchener Rangers defenceman Evan McEneny (VAN) not hurt, sent to dressing room for third as a msg from coach. Not sure why yet. Will tweet Giuriato and ask. Edited December 2, 2012 by Deirmoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hmm, Interesting. Wonder what happened, according to playboi19 it seemed like McEneny was having a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hmm, Interesting. Wonder what happened, according to playboi19 it seemed like McEneny was having a good game. I only watched last game, he played all 3 periods and OT. The tweet is referring to tonights game, but he still picked up an assist in 2 periods.

The tweet is referring to tonights game, but he still picked up an assist in 2 periods. So a goal and an assist in 2 games and he gets sent to the room. Not just benched but sent to the room. Must be something serious otherwise the coach would just have benched him for the last period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 From what I'm hearing, It's because he's logging on too much ice time and not changing shifts even when he's tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Hmm, Interesting. Wonder what happened, according to playboi19 it seemed like McEneny was having a good game. Yeah I watch the game on SN the other night. He looked really good, used his size well against the boards, battled hard down low, didn't let guys break free. Made good passes, had some good moments jumping up in the play, looked good on the powerplay. the only negative I saw was that he got caught standing still a couple of times and guys went past him, overall skating isn't an big issue for him, but he doesn't have quick footspeed IMO.

WHL rocks Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Pbbly has something to do with lack of defensive play or like Rey said taking extended shifts. I think Rey could be on to something. This is something I could see a coach getting angry about. Lack of defensive awareness would pbbly just get him benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does he play on the 2nd PP unit btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think 1st unit on the other point of Ryan Murphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deirmoc Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Got a reply: Seems like a pretty harsh way to send a message. Tyson Giuriato @TysonGiuriato @Deirmoc He made a bad play that led to a goal and his coach, Steve Spott wanted to send a message to the team to wake up.

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 ^ Seems like there's been a lot of harsh message-sending for our prospects lately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has a lack of defensive awarness, he actually seemed really solid defensively. I hope Rey is wrong because that's not really something you want to see in your young players but perhaps he is onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
