NHTyrany Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm waiting for more trades to add more size and protection in the top 6 and on D. In the interim, I cross my fingers and hope our diminutive talents are not crucified. Despite my fears, this team is way more entertaining than last year's. A win is simply a moral victory at this point. GCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you haven't been banished yet for your trade proposal...HAHA. It was quite a doosey! But it does make sense. In the mean time hopefully they keep a bit of beef on each line to try and spread the toughness around. I like the line ups for tonights game. Pouliot and Del Z are both disaster artists, makes sense to flip them in and out as they start to fizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love to remind us that we have so many injuries. The Preds are missing 4 star players. Yet they are 3rd in the league. When will the owners stop this charade and start making long term decisions. Decisions that could , in time make us a cup contender. This year could be a pivotal one. Players like Sutter , Edler , Tanev , could all bring in assets. Draft picks should the goal. Do Baer and Goldy have a long term future here? Unless we explode and start a ten game win streak we are headed to a bottom 5 position. This year is looking like a mirror image of last year. Over the next few weeks they need to start to decide who is in the long term plans and who is not. With the draft in Vancouver it could be a real good PR move. Fans see the stars coming and are already excited about the future. Injuries to a rebuild team and injuries to a Stanley Cup contender are different things. The difference is depth. The Canucks are currently building their depth while Nashville has theirs and that is why injuries are somewhat mitigated in Nashville's case. With that said, Forsberg has only recently been injured, so I would say the effect of his loss hasn't quite taken place yet, but their team is clearly in a need to adjust. As for the rest, well I'm quite certain we have more man games lost in comparison to Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if him saying that had a little to do with trying to make Blake Price do his "squeal like a teenage girl" voice that he does when someone disagrees with him - he can reach a voice pitch so high that every dog west of Main Street congregates outside the TSN studios That said, "foundational" usually mean someone who you build around - don't think Goldy will be that, but he will be a key component Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Bo Horvat on Sportsnet 650: "It's frustrating and definitely not the home-stand we wanted -- we're pushing to get the next win here before we go on the road. Pettersson has been great for us all year, obviously, he's a special player. Biggest thing for him would be to continue to grow as a player, getting in the battle, I know it's frustrating when you're not scoring but sticking with the process could be the biggest thing for him."

You don't build a team around Goldy. He's a skilled addition to the foundation.

I didn't add Demko, Juolevi or Hughes, because they aren't NHLers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 "Goldy is back in tonight. We've had lots of talks with Goldy over course of the season, not just last few days. He can pretty well do whatever he wants with the puck so long as he doesn't turn it over. When he's trying to get it back, I want him to be aggressive in that area too." - Green on Goldobin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is a silly idea to consider Goldobin a foundational player, for sure. Just now, NUCKER67 said: I didn't add Demko, Juolevi or Hughes, because they aren't NHLers yet. I figured as much, that's why I stated next season. I might be jumping the gun, but I feel that all three might make the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
