I think at this point Luke schenn would provide at least as much in terms of actual defensive hockey and probably more snarl in the d zone. I, sadly, agree.

cory40 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Man wait until they let Elias kill penalties. Might not be a bad idea when they need a goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just now, J-23 said: Markstrom was sick, and Demko injures. We had no other goalie, the blame here is really on JB. He hasn't made any major gaffes in some time, but that was a doozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pleasantly surprised by him. I’ll admit I haven’t seen him in Utica. I do remember him in the nhl and how much I hated it when our guys played him coz he would punish anyone near the crease.

This never should have happened , let a young kid get wrecked by a powerhouse , hopefully it didn’t absolutely destroy his confidence DiPietro is nowhere near as fragile as some of you guys are.

cory40 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Guddy probably should be a 5th or 6th defenseman! Biega is all heart and wheels with-out talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe JB will bring Bang Bang Bart and Philip Larsen back as foundational pieces on blueline. omg no. I don't get how Jim is soo good at evaluating amateur talent but soo terrible when it comes to pro evaluation, especially with defencemen. I've been saying Gudbranson is terrible since we traded for him. I got attacked for saying it and now everyone has realized how bad he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked by Murph if they did anything different knowing there is a rookie Jr goalie, he said no and didn't try to make a big deal out of it. He said it was a tough position for him to be in, and said more than once that he felt bad for the kid, but they needed the 2 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I know this is unpopular but I think the fans here are being too critical of the team. Dipietro had a poor game. He certainly didn't help the cause. The game could have been very different with Markstrom in net. Jacob stood on his head to beat Calgary. Canucks will need goaltending performances like that to have a chance against the top teams in the league. Mediocre or below average won't cut it. Good thing is Mikey is young and still has ways to go in his development. I felt bad that he was put in this situation. Clearly not ready. It's not that the team let him down. It's just that he should have never been in this situation in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard all the old stuff that he was slow and not really built for the NHL now. But his mobility is not as bad as i’ve heard. He is slow, but he is positionally sound, strong, and tough to move. Has a good slapper too, they have been utilizing it on the power play with some success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Steve Mason is a UFA as is Pavelec and Lehtonen. 3 G who albeit aren't good anymore but all could have been suitable FA signings after we lost McKenna on waivers 5 weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never want to let in the first shot, but I felt better as the game went on. There are lessons I’ll take from this and work on to end this season and throughout the summer.” - DiPietro Really like his attitude. No matter what he says though, it'll be in his head. Hopefully it motivates him more 6 minutes ago, canuck2288 said: They may have won but Kane is one baby Shark Guddy could have easily gone after him to fight after he slashed him... Looked like Kane was down for it. Guddy just walked off lol Gudbranson is a mean guy that has fallen in love and has lost his mean streak. I've seen this happen a lot in men. Sadly his mean streak is what makes him a good dman... And without it, I don't think he's very effective. Perhaps a change of scenery can revive his game. Or maybe gf/wife troubles will anger him? Really good guy... Extremely good looking... Loved that he stood up on occasion for his teammates over his tenure here (fight vs Haley was amazing)... But I just don't see how he benefits this team long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...that would be a brilliant move by a 19 year old rookie. Thank god for us Canuck fans he said he learned a lot and will continue to get better. Not a real team guy are you??!!
