But then the Canucks went to sleep and the Sens woke up. Always nice to see them win games. As for the Draft, my guess is they'll pick around #12-#15. (yawn) Never realized this before, but there are several Canucks players who have had a career year: Horvat - 27g and 57pts. He's 2 assists shy of tying his assist record. Boeser - 28a. He's 5 goals and 3 points shy of tying his goals and points record. Roussel - 22a and 31pts. Goldobin - 20a and 27pts. He's 1 goal shy of tying his goals record. Virtanen - 14g, 10a and 24pts. (surpassed all) Biega - 2g, 12a and 14pts. (surpassed all) Leivo - 9g and 16pts. He's 1 assist shy of tying his assists record. Motte - 9g, 7a and 16pts. (surpassed all) Not to mention the incredible year Pettersson is having. Markstrom has been great and is now a true #1. Gaudette's future is also looking bright. Also Edler, it’s a contract year so maybe that’s playing into it, but he’s playing better than he has in years...and Markstroms destroying his previous wins total ...

189lb enforcers? Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It was nice to see those guys smiling again. Poor AN got lit up. I was not surprised, in a bad way, when another skinny Canucks rookie got wrecked and there was no response. A midget to boot, was the guy who wrecked Sautner. He then challenged one of our own midgets, but Stetch didn’t want to fight. Keep chasing those 2 points, TG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firkland, Lowry and Edmundson, but not Maroon, I think he’s done, or close to being done. CDC seem to always wait until after a physical player peaks to express any interest in their services here, but I’ve noticed a lot more interest in acquiring toughness lately. IMO, JB should just get a stall out in the halls where fans like me can just kick him in the ass for not drafting MT when he was right there. Now, fans can only dream of a MT/Horvat/Boeser line. When 5 foot Pageau is gooining you out, you know your team has serious issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 13 hours ago, Tom Sestito said: Spook, the belief that Gudbranson was the stopper of all dirty plays was a fallacy. There were more instances of him not stepping up and people defending why he didn't than there were times that he did step up. I agree, we do need a physical stay at home D. But, he can't be making $4m and be such a significant net negative in every aspect. Andrew Alberts was a better version of Gudbranson making pennies as a depth D. Really, what we need is Nikita to come back. That guy was damn good. Don’t know how good a fighter Alberts were, but don’t think he or Rome ( who Btw I never thought got enough credit here) for that matter could handle anyone like Guddy could. As I said he didn’t work out here. Was 4 mill for what he brough a lot? Yes probably, but being a bottom feeder mostly means you pay way over the odds for yout desired players. But yes Nikata back would be welcomed as well as a bit of beef in the forward lines as well, would be welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 1 hour ago, Tom Sestito said: So wait, we only played a third of our games against teams in the top third of the league?!?!?!?! Oh wait, that makes perfect sense and averages out properly. And yes Biega and Schenn are upgrades on Gudbranson even though they themselves are nothing more than #6-9 D. The general notion is during the 12 games since Gudbranson left......the majority of them were against teams who were below us in the standings and below us in goals for. Stars, Rangers, Devils, Oilers, Coyotes twice, and the Ducks. Obviously, our GAA is going to be lower in that span when half of the games they played are teams who can barely score 2 goals a game.

I don’t care that there was a delayed penalty on the play. but this topic has been bounced around here ad nauseam Yes and I totally agree...100%. i can accept and possibly understand why there was no response in games, where they didn’t see the hit, it was a close game or both, but at 3-0 they should have nailed the prick to the wall or hung him next to the Sedin jerseys from the rafters.... it was for all to see, that when the tough got going they didn’t have the stomach for it..... Stech and think Motte (not sure) was challanged and half the bench was being face washed and zero response. It will be a tough leaning process ince they reach the play offs.

NHTyrany Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Entertaining yet frustrating. Looks like those gifted victories to USA market teams during some of our road swings may really haunt the Nucks' final push. The consolation is we are way too soft for the main event anyway. Even the Sens are taking liberties at the Rog. Those cross checks to Pettey away from the play and that boarding deserved responses. The irony is we let the Sens back in the game anyway by sitting back like whipped dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete13 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 8 hours ago, Tom Sestito said: We're the worst team in the league combined over the past four seasons. I don't think us going on a losing streak is going to be a big difference in the broad spectrum Are they awarding the Stanley Cup for the best record over the last four years now? The team with the worst record over the past two years is Buffalo past 3 years is Buffalo, over the past five years it’s Buffalo, over the past six years it’s Buffalo, over the past seven years it’s Buffalo, over the past eight years, you guessed it- Buffalo. Some stat cherry picker found a time frame that the Canucks had the worst record 4 years: Canucks 124-196 .388 Buffalo 124-195 .389 So what does it all mean? It’s fascinating that the upward progression that we are witnessing is forgotten because we had a terrible record from 2016 to 2018. Source: NHL standings and my excel spreadsheet. Over the past eight years, for example the Canucks record 285- 319 .472 is comparable to the Maple Leafs 291 - 325 .472. Should be be planning the parade route too? Not posting this out of disrespect TS. It’s just that the worst record over the past four years narrative rubs me the wrong way. There’s still a long way to go, but we are trending upwards.

Does Tanev, Sutter, and Roussel stay shut down, or do they potentially come back? Not sure how bad their injuries are, but mostly concerned about chemistry. Thoughts on the matter? Go with what got you there....reward those who earned it and they will go to hell and back for you...idk same goes for Baer, chemistry is a finicky thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
