another stinker of a game

 

that first goal just deflated the canucks. they were not coming back from that

 

at least virtanen scored!

 

I fear for what the game on Thursday may look like if the canucks are already out of gas :mellow:

 

 

They already ran out of gas and will not be able to recharge until after California road trip.   Just a bad scheduling.   Other teams has the benefit of rest and recharge while Canucks just keep on and is leading the league in games played.

I remember Gretzky being a difference maker. If Petey is going to be in the same convo, he single handedly needs to be clutch!

well not really

he is being checked and monitored more closely

which in turn requires his wingers to up their game

so they can anticipate even more unusual feeds from elias

as he is forced to up his game even more

 

but his wingers are regressing

and so he is being left to feel he has to do it on his own

and shoot more

which makes him more predictable and easier to contain

this really has much more to do with his linemates

a bunch of individuals playing again...someone has to find chemistry, don't know where he has gone, but I think he may have went with Boeser.

Predictably, teams gave figured out to cut his space right down before he gets his feet moving. You knew it was coming.

I get what you're saying but disagree.

 

Then he's not in the same convo as the great one. The kid has had something like 10 shots in the past three games and hasn't done anything. Gretzky would have put points on the board by now and been the difference maker.

 

I'm challenging his hype right now. If he's going to be compared to Gretzky, we need to see more difference making in games. Otherwise he's a mere mortal. ;)

well ask yourself something then

gretzky was an assist machine .. who were his wingers?
ep40 can score and assist but he needs wingers to play off of

if he cannot effectively distribute the puck cuz it dies with his wingers

he can never get it back so that option becomes pointless

 

if he simply retains the puck to shoot it

the defenders never end up off balance

as they do not have to worry about him passing

ep40 needs a top level puck distributing winger or a winger sniper

 

brock played well with him

not sure there is anyone else on the team able to keep up with his level of play

maybe loui?

maybe call up dahlen as at least he has productive history with ep40

who else is there?  it's a team game .. who should be playing with ep40 ?
