Ballisticsports. Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I can see this becoming more of a "hockey play" Don't target a guy in the head, and get 5 min and maybe a suspension (which cost you $) but (accidently) tackle him, maybe grab his legs or arms to create awkward fall and make his muscles less effective as well as his play in that game and get 2 min (or nothing if behind the play on EP,without the puck) Incorporate WWE moves into the NHL with lame DOPS The instigator rule took away fighting The Rats came out in force Players not wanting suspensions for old school justice anymore We could see more of this interference and accidently on purpose type of incidents, with only a 2 min infraction at best as a deterrent If your wreckless play causes a broken bone or ? You shouldn't be playing while the injured person isn't Maybe it clean up cheap shots and make you more accountable for them regardless if on purpose or not? I doubt there will ever be a solution for this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still not a reason to not punch Kotko in the face a few times.

smokes Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 What scares me is that for the two periods the Canucks did not have Pettersson, the offence totally looked awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that should be too surprising really. Boeser is a really talented player, but he doesn't drive offense. He's an excellent second piece to a duo, but he's not a creator on his own. Horvat is the only other guy on the roster who can really create, and he wasn't having the best of games. We still need somebody else in the top six who can make things happen, rather than just being a finisher. I think the team is still hoping they can turn Goldobin into that guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully Sutter and Beagle are both healthy, Bo looks beat. He's played a ton of hockey in the last two and a half months, the dog days of winter. Hopefully the schedule will get him back on target. Just shows you, he's having a personal best year again. Just give him the "C", and get this thing going. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The five day break after this Leafs game could not be timed any better for both him and Pettersson, honestly. 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two are the big pieces of the puzzle right now for sure and I agree. Have a bit of a recharge period then see where this goes. Team has to continue to work hard and not "rely" on them to get it done for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 As all of us have said, this schedule has been brutal. This is the third?, road trip East, to play 6 games, usually a back to back, and an afternoon game mixed in. When the other teams catch up with games played, we'll have a good idea as to where they are trending, playoffs, bubble, or completely out of it.

Darius Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The kid has been knocked around pretty good in the past 3 games. Hopefully the knee is ok and this is a good opportunity to take a rest for a few days that coincide with a slow stretch in the schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
