Our D prospects looked like they had been doing a lot of luck watching. **opinion solely based off highlights Both Boeser and OJ had a cpl good plsys, but both had poor games overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing I found most disturbing was how visibly intimidated the Canucks were in this game. It was very reminiscent of the playoff series a few years ago. Exactly. Calgary was throwing their weight around quite a bit by the end of the game. Not much pushback. With the score out of hand I thought the Canucks would play more physical to show the coach something in the way of their battle. It was a young group overall but there were still some Utica candidates who should have stepped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Was at the game, seemed like the whole game was played in the nucks end. Juolevi got walked a few times, and expected more from Boeser. Really hoping they both look better in main camp. Both of them need to get faster as does Gadjovic and Juolevi really needs to up his compete level and physical game. Liked Laplante, and MacEwan. Brisebois looks like he has some potential. Really missed Chatfield out there, probably our best d-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacEwan has been a real nice surprise, I hope he's not concussed after the big hit, I want to see what he can do against NHL competition. I said, before the tourney started, that I wasn't expecting much and wasn't going to judge BB and OJ based on this tournament. I expect both will be better at main camp and in pre-season. That said, i think it's pretty clear that neither are ready for the NHL quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ got caught out for it, likely surprised by a couple guys' speed but that's an easy adjustment. Brock was just playing shinny and seemed to be playing keep away at times. Not to worried about either's performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like every time MacEwan has the puck he makes something happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a non-drafted UFA signing, MacEwan looks to be a steal. The kid could easily become a middle six player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Watched the highlights and it wasn't the bestest of performances from the baby Canucks. Wasn't as strong as the 1st tourney game. Flames kept coming in waves and we got beat. Laplante looked invisible in the games he played for Utica last year but he's showed up in a big way in first couple games here. He was driving to the net and playing with grit, prowess and meaning. Played with heart which I like seeing from most of our players. Irving has been solid as well in our backend. He could be solid depth for Utica and big club this upcoming season. Great awareness on his goal to keep it in and getting it on net which ended up going in. Most of the team came up flat in this one. All Flames from the get go but great to see the fight back the baby Canucks showed. I'm looking forward to catching the next one as I'm back from a tiring but worthwhile trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks looked scared and completely intimidated. That said, I think there was a big age difference between the two teams with a lot of Stockton guys on the Flames and a lot of guys right out of JR on the Nucks. Still, it was disappointing to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just responded to his distasteful remarks about me. You really need to read these from the beginning before assuming things. I started assuming things when you were a prick.
