-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 "It's different. He's doing a lot of heavy lifting. Probably not using him in the offensive zone because in the back of my mind I know I can't overuse him and we are using him a lot... He's a bull. Bo can play a lot of minutes." - Green on Horvat's role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line 1 Baertchi-Petersson-Boeser Line 2 Goldobin-Horvat-Granlund/Gaudette I think Virt is a good fit with Bo, put him on that RW. We most definitely need to upgrade that 1LW spot, with someone that can score but also brings snarl to that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 3rd in shooting percentage in the league over the past 3 seasons at 5v5 among players with at least 120 games. He's been used more as a passer but maybe he should be used as a goal scorer. Baer typically gets his goals from 15ft and under while Boeser shoots from further out. It gives Pettersson two options and Baer can also pass the puck.

MikeyD Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 That's what I expected. We always play like trash against the weak teams. For some reason we went back to sitting on leads. Really frustrates me when we see the line changing instead of forechecking. Honestly surprised we got a point out of it. I knew we'd lose this one. And for God's sakes can we take those two useless wingers off of Bo's line? Stop putting trash players with our best guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singing chef Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Pleased that coach elected to play Leipsic against Detroit, a team which "should" have been the perfect opportunity for him to show he is an NHL player. Instead it showed that he is simply a "waterbug" that skates 100 mph in all directions and goes nowhere. imo he is ineffective as a NHL calibre player. Waiver time and bring up someone else (Dahlen ?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 47 minutes ago, CupIsComing said: I watched most of the Fox Sports Detroit feed...some observations that I thought were interesting... Play-by-play Ken Daniels and colour commentator Mickey Redmond talk about Pettersson before the puck drop..."he would go #1 today" Daniels says (and repeats in overtime). They definitely seem aware of Dekey Pete's talent. At the same time the banner displays Pettersson's weight as 161 lbs but there is zero talk of his weight or body-build by the broadcasters. They talk about Elias' talent a lot in the first period even before the eventual goal. They concede that the league may as well just give him the Calder trophy now. 1st Intermission...Hosts John Keating and Darren Eliot discuss Pettersson and the goal. Keating mentions a hometown nickname "the Alien" and says "he is better than advertised". Eliot says the goal is "Gretzky-like". 2nd Intermission...Keating recognizes Canucks are on the first game of a road trip "that is going to last forever". 3rd period...The topic of Fortnite was an intro topic after a tv timeout...they contrasted (non-judgmentally) how the Canucks players have banned it but Detroit's young players love it. Redmond says, regarding Stetcher, "that kid has got a good game". Daniels replies "yep". Redmond says, "can you imagine if we could get a guy like that to play with Larkin...sheesh" (referring to Pettersson). Overtime...they rave about the quality of Pettersson's dangerous 2-on-1 shot. Shoot-out...Redmond amazed by deke of Pettersson even though shot was saved. Overall, the commentary was very complimentary of Pettersson and fair in it's narrative of the Canucks. Even seing his name with a devils logo bext to it on a fantasy list makes me mad . Is that abnormal ? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We really missed Boeser in that game. Our talent drops off so hard after Pettersson. Entertaining enough game, and that's too bad about the extra point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away feeds see goldobin in an unbiased view. Do i think he can be better? Absolutely, but I don't think he deserves all the criticism he gets on here. I'm inclined to think most of the time that no one deserves the amount of criticism they get on these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We need to protect our guys. Whatever spin they give it, Brock took a wicked crosscheck at home where it was replayed over the big screen for our bench to see I am convinced we would have won this game had Brock played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I only caught the last half of the game. I was encouraged to find the team up one and about double the shots. But the game I watched after that was quite disappointing. We were lucky to get a point. They looked tired and disinterested, other that EP of course. I fear that that could rub off on him even subconsciously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
