If he keeps up his current pace in the regular season, he should hit 15 goals before Halloween. Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think it the way that so many label him as an "offensive black hole", but prior to last year's disaster, Sutter was on pace for 17- and 15-goal seasons with the Canucks in his first two complete seasons with Vancouver. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've been saying all along there was a chance Sutter gets back on track. He's not young but isn't exactly old either. He may not be washed up yet. A healthy Sutter along with wingers who are fringe or true 2nd liners like Pearson/Baer/Jake and there is a real chance of our 3rd line being dangerous along with defensively responsible. Amazing what depth does for you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) The more I watch this clip, the angrier it makes me. 0 care in the world when he makes the pass, especially with all the time he had (literally couldn't expect anything BUT a turnover with how he passed that), and 0 hustle to take the puck away...

wloutet Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Make sure that you don't have blinders on. Sure, Sutton did not look good at all in this clip. However, McDavid did split the defense of Edler and Quinn Hughes to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many fans don't want actual facts to mess up their current ire with a guy who made a mistake in the most recent game. Your logic is just confusing for their righteous indignation.

Amazing what depth does for you. The whole team is going to take a few games to come up to speed. Boseser and Ferland didn't have much play in the pre-season and the final line up didn't play a lot together. I criticize Green for not setting the line up earlier (2 full games would have been fine). They will get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be it was where you got used to line-mates, got the last of your conditioning in place. Now they have the conditioning down like an art, but no idea what's happening for line-mates. Using it as a chance to audition players and then the use of 2 teams: I wonder if it is really worth doing anymore (10 guys playing that everyone knows are not making the team, nuts imo.) Of course some teams don't even play their McDavids, so that can't help but create some issues for their prospective winners. Did you see the contrast between Pearson in a game that mattered vs. Pearson in pre-season? Lol, different guy entirely. He must have had 10 shots on net the other night against Edmonton.

combover Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Sutter was and Is a down grade from bonino. Aside from eating some minutes and being an average third liner at best, who’s been on a steady decline since he got here weather it’s the injury excuse or he just was billed and paid as something he never was or will be. It’s time to move on from the failures schaller LE and sutter. Sutter was a total disaster against the coilers maybe he should call out his team mates in the media again........leader.BS (Brandon Sutter) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, Boeser and Fantenberg were in concussion protocol, but here is the line up from the last preseason game vs Arizona on Sept 26 followed by the line up from the season opener Oct 2. Clearly the line up was not set by the end of the pre-season. There were 6 missing players not including Boeser: Horvat, Pearson, Miller, Sutter, Benn and Stecher. There are pro's to Greens approach, like giving certain players as much of a chance as possible but the trade off is that the team will be a little rough for the first few games. I would rather see the team ready to go for game 1 and having played 2 games without players like Graovac, MacEwen, Briesbois and Chatfield who didn't have a snowballs chance of making the team. Baer, Gaudette and Goldy maybe because they had a realistic chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
