So, lets not hear any bitching and complaining He will be hot and cold But basically he is equivalent to a 2 line player...…. Live with it! If you follow Myers playing history a bit, he has a elite trate. He always rises to the ocassion hes put in. I believe he was buried in the 2nd role in Winnipeg a bit... got comfortable and diddnt have anything driving him as the number 1 pair was fairly set. I believe with the opportunity of being a number 1 pairing defenceman we will see him focus on the coaching and take his game to another level. He will be driven by the opportunity. And the fact young hughes will be on his heals before he knows it. Until he gets there.... let's enjoy having a monster 6'8" defenseman with a booming shot and solid offensive upside.

Hairy Kneel Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 One thing I like with Big M is if players take liberties with our guys, I've noticed Myers up his physical game the next shift. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it's just rust or that's another big FA signing that will haunt our team for another 5 years. I've seen him making nice passes out of the D-zone and also skating up ice. It is true that he made mistakes, but he has something that we lacked up until now: the ability to move the puck. I mean, he does not use it everytime, but it's there haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it's just rust or that's another big FA signing that will haunt our team for another 5 years. He's far better at handling the puck than Gudbranson. The issues with Myers are his decision making. He can carry it into the offensive zone just fine, but if he gets stripped of the puck or loses it it can be difficult for him to get back in time. I really don't think Gudbranson is a good right comparable at all. The way Myers gets into trouble is much more akin to the way someone like Bieksa or even Biega might get in trouble. A bad pinch/trying to do too much himself/etc.He's much more engaged than Gudbranson, but he runs the risk of screwing up and getting caught. Gudbranson, by contrast, was a pylon.

Rust and adjusting to a new team. Players all have different speed of adjusting. What I saw is a guy thinking and then doing. His processing of the game the way Vancouver wants him to play is different and he has to think about it vs having second nature. Give him 20 games to get fully adjusted. If he still struggles, maybe he is pulling an Eriksson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 looked solid to me in 1st game. Im guessing hes just gonna improve as the season progresses, but a solid D imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyezone Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have really liked Myers every time I have seen him in Vancouver colors. He looks to be breathing new life into Eagle too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a completely different player but we haven't seen the puck on net from the defence like that since Ehrhoff. I'm also impressed with how well he skates for such a big guy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Dam wasn’t a fan of his contract,. Liked his pushback today, threw that wuss Giordano down. If he plays like this, I could care less about the contract. Play hard, stick up for your teammates that’s all I want to see from Myers. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 i've really like his game so far. he's willing to join or lead the rush without hesitation, moves the puck well, and has looked solid in front of his net. but it's his offensive aggression that has stood out most to me. should help influence an attacking mindset rather than playing afraid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Tyler is a legit top 4 D. You can see how he won the Calder Trophy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 well he did f**k it up with the pass that lindholm scored on but other then that he still looks good to me. Many have done that type of pass before he just got unlucky it didnt work with that type of risky play. The whole team has been struggling these first 2 games tbh......Myers and miller has been good imo. Still need to see if peteys line can find chemistry and create some pressure in the offensive zone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Messy passing but hopefully this gets better as he gels with the team/learns the tendencies of his teammates. Otherwise I like his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we struggled that bad, just on the wrong side of the score sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we struggled for sure. Transitions were bad, passing was bad, plays were telegraphed. Our PP went 0 for 10. It was a struggle. Myers has showed well, and like what other people have been saying, it’s nice to see a pmd on the back end again! Bonus that he’s 6’8” and can toss dirt bags like Gio across the ice like that! Haha Can’t wait until we get the other big guy back there as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I thought he had another great night, him and Edler perfect #1 pairing. Lead the team along with Sutter in shots, and he can actually get them through lol. His long reach really effective defensively. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
