and if players had been injured as a result of your suggested deployment

what do you say about that ????

 

it's a cost of doing business?

 

even though it is counter productive to you wanting a full line up fully ready to play for game 1 ??

 

how is green supposed to reconcile these 2 competing realities?

 

there is no satisfactory strategy to resolve these

as it is a bit of a catch 22

so is it really fair to criticize green in the manner you do ?

Sure it is fair criticism.  All regular season games count the same.  Shouldn't the Canucks be ready for game 1?  

 

The power play has to be better and the rust has to be off for game 1.

you simply refuse to recognize the risk of injury to players in preseason games

brock was hurt and not available for the balance of the season due to injury

but you choose to ignore that factor and simply insist players be ready for the season without regard for injury

you do not comment on how you would respond if injury occurred if your wishes were followed

keep your blinders on

helps you think your criticism is fair

No, I just don't bye your argument.  I really don't believe that NHL coaches are making decisions because they are afraid their players might get hurt.

 

Players can get injured falling off a horse.  What do you say about their team building exercise in Banff?

Generally I was opposed to the idea but having a 4th line of Beagle-Sutter might be what's best moving forward. A lot of pressure on that line to match up but we got all our checking eggs in one basket supposedly. They'll see A LOT of defensive zone ice time and take up majority of the PK duties as expected. It allows Gaudette's line to be more of a filler line 5v5 when we need it, like after a PP or PK.

The problem is that this line has been awful when tried so far.

Yeah, maybe Larsson got injuried in game 1 when the intensity rises because he wasn't ready to play and was rusty as a result of not playing preseason games with the players he would in game 1....Game 1 counts just as much as Game 15 and Game 75, they all count. Not being ready is a bad laid plan...with all the new guys, they are not ready because they haven't played together....what's more important than the forwards knowing what their line partners are doing? Answer: The forwards knowing what the D are doing...half the guys are new on the D if you count Q....they needed to play a few games together as a team in order to be ready for game 1....Management chose not to.

 

Crabs....I'm buying what you are selling!

Can we finally put this idea to bed that Sutter is expendable and Gaudette is ready to replace him? Two nice goals, a horse on the PK and can win big draws for us. Matchups-wise he's one of the best 3rd liners in the league.

 

Gaudette showed us flashes of offence in the pre-season but his game is nowhere near as well rounded as Sutters. 

 

Sutter is a foundational piece to this team, end of conversation. We saw what happened when he was injured and the workload got passed on to Horvat last season. These 3 down the middle and Beagle at 4C gives us some incredible two-way centers that not many teams in this league have. Offence from the D and defence from the forwards is what it takes nowadays to win Cups.

Amen brotha DUC :towel:

 

Sutter should change his name to: Grossly Underrated.

Nice to see Sutts reminding fans what he can bring.  Along with his great defensive game, he can score goals and will be a terrific mentor for Gaud.  Stay healthy Brendon!  His value is going to be very high if this continues throughout the season.

Showcasing Sutter for impending trade??

4pts in 5 games, 2G and 2 A

Hmmm that can’t be right, if it is that doesn’t look good on coaching starting your defensive players in the oZone and your offensive players in the d zone

I have a feeling that's an inaccurate source. It doesn't make sense that Sutter and Beagle are both sitting above 60% offensive zone starts (let alone all our other bottom 6 forwards). Maybe the oZS% and dZS% columns got swapped somehow?

 

Sutter is off to a pretty good start though, and with Gaudette looking good to start the season as well maybe the Canucks brass will look to move him (and bring Baertschi back up). I do like the idea of Gaudette and Sutter sharing a line for a while though, one could certainly do worse than having Sutter as a mentor.

I have to agree with that statement. My question would be: Is that an accidental goof, or a deliberate troll by who ever this Ray Hatt is.

Thought it was curious as well...so I double checked on hockey-reference.com and sure enough...sorted by oZS%:

This likely also explains some of the reason Pettersson/Boeser/Horvat haven't been off to flying starts.

All that offense and Brandon Sutter is the highest mover up the all-time Canuck scoring list, creeping up to the top 100.

 

102.  Dan Quinn C 101 34 49 83
103.  Brandon Sutter C 198 40 41 81
104.  Michel Petit D 226 24 57 81
