Nice to see Tkachuk and Lucic soften up the Kings for us.

LA out shot CGY 20-3 in first period.  Leading 3-0

 

LA has 4 rookies in the lineup.  Including the youngest player in the NHL this yrs 1st rounder defense man Bjornfot.

 

Canucks better show up to play tomorrow night. 

 

LA has bought some young blood into lineup and they're playing with intensity.

@WHL rocks

how many games does Green get if our poor play continues? I’d say 10. 

[Alflives]

When is time for a new coach?  I was thinking about Hitch.  

[Toyotasfan]

If a Canuck player lays a good hit on Kurtis Macdermid tomorrow, I think he’d call it a night , Tkachuk got him good tonight

Nah. I like Green as a coach. 

 

Gotta give him this season. Think about that next summer. 

 

Only 2 games in let's see how season develops.

He’s 68 and doesn’t quite have Pete Carols energy. He’s an intern coach at best, someone will probably pick him up halfway through the season , after a 10 game losing streak.

Coincidentally, that 45 seconds is also more time in the show than you'll ever see.

That's what she said.

I'd play Leivo in the role of fourth line checker too.  Sutter, Beagle, and Leivo as our fourth line.  Play skill in our top three lines.  Is Green too stubborn to make changes in his philosophy?  

4th line is for whoever struggling the most. Or should be.

Truly it should be a game to game thing.  Lines get ice times based on their effectiveness in that particular game.

If Baer needs to be recalled then do it. Self LE down. Screw the optics. 

This. Optics is what's keeping LE  from being sent down. Baer or Goldy are better scoring options. Or Big Mac for toughness.

[Smashian Kassian]

I think Schaller should be the one sent down, atleast Loui is a legitimately good penalty killer.

Where is our intensity? We had guys who showed intensity and were the first sent down. Or traded , Biega.

Schaller kind of sucks at everything to be honest. Not sure why he’s in the lineup

It’s better that LA won. I don’t know what it is - hockey gods or something Lol but if LA was 0-2 they’d be bound to win. But since they win and the Canucks are 0-2 we are bound to win. I don’t know what it is but thats how it goes sometimes.

 

Also side note it’s not like the Canucks didn’t show up the first 2 games. They had plenty of chances and didn’t convert. Had a couple bad periods and some really good ones too. Your Canucks comment about “better show up” suggests this but maybe I read into that wrong. Cheers

well it sure is good to see the coaching staff spent the 8 preseason games ensuring there is chemistry amoungst the forward lines.

the interesting thing here is that after 2 games the D pairings are intact

It looks like Fantenberg sits until there is an injury by which time we will all be amazed that he is unable to jump in like Biega did.

 

But look at those forward pairs!

Game 3 and there are 3 set pairs:

Pete-Brrock

Horvat - Pearson

Beagle - SchallymcSchaller

Hey coach , all those guys played together last year!

Are we in "Get that guy going" mode already? I see leading scorer JT Miller has been moved to the Petterson line, that should "get em goin" hey?

And Leivo gets moved to the Horvat line, that should get ole Leves going too, hey?

But what did Gaudette do to deserve 2 new linemates after 1 game, I guess the ole line blender technique worked so good with Jake we might as well use it on Gaudner as well. It'll make him more versatile, right Coach?Cuz thats what the new guys need, different wingers every game.
