Equipment managers deal with all the equipment except the sticks. That's up to a player. We torch them, tape them and change them when they don't feel right. You're grasping at straws on blaming equipment guys for some guys twigs splintering on a key shot. In fact I have and I would guess it was at a higher level any fool know it’s the player’s responsibility but and good equipment guy taps him on the shoulder and to give him a gentle reminder by the way there are now 4 equipment guys ...not like the old days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is Calgary overachieved last year and I feel a healthy Canucks team can claim a wild card. The Flames will be hard pressed to win 50 games again. Check back in April!

Junkyard Dog Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We have 3 games for the next 10 days. All off which are at home. Plenty of time for the players to gel and the coaches to try to figure out what can work. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindustan Smyl Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Living overseas, I don't get to watch the games in their entirety (I'm dependent on the 8 minute youtube highlights), but it does seem like the Canucks are much better at transitioning the puck out from the back-end (although they still look quite vulnerable to the forecheck). Hughes looks very good out there. It's a very small sample size obviously, but I really think the Canucks need to try and wed themselves to one of the following two ideas: 1) Try and create two elite scoring lines. 2) Try and create three "good" scoring lines. While I think the Canucks are attempting to do #1, I'm just not sure if there's enough talent to roll with that. In other words, if those top two lines get shut down by elite opposition, then the chances of the Canucks getting anything out of their bottom 6 seems very minimal at best. As it stands right now, our bottom 6 is basically two 4th lines and it's very difficult to win with that. As was the case last year, I think there might be too much undue to pressure on the top two lines to produce (only difference being that last year, for the first half of the season, Pettersson was able to fly under the radar). Getting back to my main point, I think the Canucks should strongly consider option #2.............and I think a big part of option #2 is maximizing Adam Gaudette by playing him with strong linemates (i.e. not Virtanen and Leivo). 1) Have Pettersson and Boeser anchor the top line. 2) Horvat and Pearson anchor the 2nd. 3) Gaudette plays with Miller and Ferland 4) Have a revolving door in terms of the wingers and players playing on the top two lines. If someone is playing well, said player can be rewarded with top six ice-time riding shot gun on the top two lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deus.ex.makina Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Not that bad, need a few tweaks :-Edler out of the lineup please and fast. Please Tryamkin it's time to take his place.-Leivo out of the PP1.-Split Boeser pratice time in 50% nutritionist / 50% skating lesson from the very basics. He can't move his big butt at all.-Bring back Baertschi for Schaffer.-Hugues is an absolute beauty.-Wake up Ferland, the season has started he's still in off season mode.-Brings Petterson his old blades with last season radius.-Newell to the open/close bench door management-Burn the Orca.-Did i say Hugues is a beauty ? i will-i need coffee.

nergish Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Bad way to start the season, but one obvious bright spot through 2 games - Quinn Hughes. He’s already dominating the transition game. Soon enough the entire offence will flow through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman64 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I didn't get to see the game but saw the results and frowned but then I remembered after the EDM game was seeing we outshot them so I looked at the SOG total tonight and same thing.. Last year and the year before, the majority of what I saw that disheartened me was us being outshot which was depressing as ____ but 2 games in, against a bad team and a good team we outshot both and if we keep it up the goals will start to come. I didn't think, at first, counting the first one as a shocker but the second one again a good flames team is a lot better than last year getting outshot on a regular basis but at least it's a step in the right direction. Hope we keep it up while our team with the new arrivals start to gel together with our regulars and string some wins together but at least it's good to see.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
