CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Big Mac developed under the tutelage of Trent Cull. Playing on Comet's first line prior to call up, playing centre and wing, playing both special teams, and counted on to protect the lead. For a guy who went undrafted, to playing big mins, to getting his first call up. Good Job Jim Benning, good job amateur scouting staff, good job Trent Cull (yes he has actually developed a prospect) and big props to Big Mac for proving media and some fans wrong.

Odd. Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Zack McEwen is a real power forward. 6'4 215lbs and skates as fast as Virtanen. One of my favorite prospects in the system. Here's to hoping he seems some action against one of the cali teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only reason why he didn't go drafted was because he for some reason played junior pretty darn late from his peers. I remember seeing highlights from his junior days and man can he skate. He's also got really good puck skills and overall solid offensive upside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm hoping Zack slides into the top 6 after a few practices. He's got the skating and the finishing to justify it. Putting him on the Sutter line isn't going to bring the best out in him. If he can forecheck, do puck retrieval, ride shotgun and be a shooting option for either Bo or Pettersson that would be optimal. Whatever happens, he's more than earned this shot, so hopefully it's a real one. This is what slow-cooked player development looks like and hopefully he's here for good.

Really? That was your take? I saw it as a quintessential coaching moment - Goldy had held on to the puck for one steamboat too long, to make a perfect pass. I read Green as teling him " You have a great shot, it's OK to use it from time to time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV is one of the fastest skaters in the league once he gets going... is Mcewen actually as fast as JV? If so, I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just cannot seem (or is unwilling) to fully up his game to where it has to be. It's not a matter of skill but determination, and time is running out.

Bruce Boudreau Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 56 minutes ago, Pears said: Leivo’s been on fire so I’d keep him with Pettersson and Boeser. Playing with Horvat and MacEwen would be good for Goldobin. Goldobin doesn't seem to fit with Horvat's direct north-south style of game. I'd put MacEwen and Virtanen on Horvat's wings and let them go to work. Goldobin wants to play more East West zig zag and hold onto the puck. Probably best with EP40 and Brock Boeser for him. Horvat is not a play maker. He plays like Kesler in that he is a power forward at center who doesn't use his wingers all that well, and he also likes to shoot first himself.

YungWee Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if Zack doesn't get into the lineup over the next week or so.. Green tends to do this with young guys. All I ask is for Brisebois to get in for Pouliot or Guddy.... I have no idea how Travis watches those 2 nightly and keeps them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Really looking forward to seeing how Z-Mac can adapt, he could be the perfect big-man skating forward for today's game (Greenway, Wilson, Joseph). We are due to have an off-the-radar top 9 forward emerge from the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Goldy competed on the defensive side of the puck as hard as I have ever watched him play. I'm not saying he was terribly effective at it.... but I thought the try was more obvious.

fanfor42 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I remember seeing Zack live fot the first time the same day I saw Gaudette and Petey live for the first time as well. It was the summer prospects game at the Rog in the summer of 2017. Those 3 were the best players on the ice. No kidding. Zack was big fast and tenacious. Very very noticeable. Really pleased to see him up with the big club now. He's gonna be an impact NHL er in his career IMO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be more succinct, the enforcer is gone now. Forget fights. How many Canucks games have actual body checks? Goals from Big Mac would be nice but, as long as he plays a strong 2-way game and causes turnovers on the forecheck, wining board battles and throwing his weight around, Green will absolutely love him.
