BPA Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well they better win the home opener. Debut of Horvat as C. And the 50th anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well that was ugly. I expected it to take a while to gel. But that powerplay should look a lot better. It looks worse if even possible. Newel Brown must have pictures or something how does this guy keep a job. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Ghost I think that for a lot of guys a year of domination (not to say Lind is dominating) Is a good thing, especially if you are an offensive player I think you have to develop instincts at a faster and faster level Until it becomes automatic....basically, it becomes your new "normal" I think that takes time. Derailing it when you are not ready, is not a good thing. IMO This is his 2nd year, just let him percolate and develop I do not want him near, Baumgartner or Newell Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO - Ferland with 0 hits against his former team. Reminiscent of a Messier in a Canucks uniform performance. Ferland lined up Brodie after Lucic took a few shots at Edler. Brodie escaped tho fearing for his life lol. Then later Ferland hit a Calgary forward I think it was Ryan. He had at least that one hit. I missed the second period but ya he isn't gelling well on that top line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) The PP sucks, Brown sucks. There is no chemistry. This adversity will be a good thing down the road. Glad they are getting all the rust out of the gears before coining home. Edited October 6, 2019 by 189lb enforcers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the board knows boeser and Petey aren’t compatible. Good players aren’t always compatible. Petey needs another player who thinks the game the same way he does. I think Miller is a good fit Woah, speak for yourself man. Don't lump the rest of us in with your 'hot take' 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have manned up, showed his new team he was pissed and fought the guy like a Man. Overall not surprised with the slow start, Players need time to gel and get into game shape. Our PP needs a complete makeover, Newell Brown needs to go. If we continue to struggle over the next few games I would role with this as our top 6... Ferland EP Miller Sven Bo Boeser Sven is a slick playmaker, I truly believe he is missed on the PP. He has good chemistry with Bo, I think having 2 bigger wingers with EP is smart, they both can score and should both be finishing their checks more. Hughes should be on the 1st PP unit, that is where you can re unite Brock with EP. Problem I see with Brock so far is he is stationary and the plays we are trying to make are all to predictable on the PP. You need a good PP if you don't it's going to be a struggle to be competitive later in the season. 3 day break, lots of time for much needed practice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 1 hour ago, IBatch said: I like your 5 x 5 lines - Horvats line needs a few more games the way it is though - same with the top line. Miller is already a big commodity in the top six (was pretty sure he would be - and then completely sold in the pre-season, he’s maybe our best board guy and a great passer) id do this if the first line needs a spark - but hope they won’t need it - because Horvat also deserves a guy like him on his line. Pearson is playing above his pay grade with him and I have a suspicion one of those guys playing on their off wing might make things difficult (would try Bear first) but you never know. Ferland will pick it up - so will BB. Both didn’t get enough/much camp in...think LA will be different...they also play CAL just before us - we will be pretty fresh. Its only 2 games but unless it changes over the next few games bells will be ringing. Get Baer on with Bo. Maybe with Pearson and consider Miller instead of Ferland. I love Pearsons tenacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in an "open ice hit" way but on the boards and in scrums he used his size well. Ferland is still getting his legs under him after that illness and missing a bunch of pre-season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he should have "fought"....dirty sometimes calls for dirty. Guy's playing like a punk? Got a good crosscheck that sent him flying on his ass. A little humiliation to send the message. I loved it. I do agree about Baer, 100%. Brock is stationary but he also moves to a position where they don't know it he's lining up to shoot or not. So he isn't too mobile...but he always moves with the puck. Trouble is, it's a subtle/slower inching over that allows the other guys to set up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
