I’m not a fan of the chipping it out every single play and losing the puck, but the Flyers are a good team and they came out in the 3rd with a lot of motor and determination, and created a lot of turnovers that way. Markstrom saved our butts, but most of the team looked good for a majority of the game. i say bump Virtanen to the Horvat line, they played one shift together and it looked good They played 2 together and looked really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he has managed to nab a couple points his last two games, the fact is he's still looking a lot more like the guy from the second half of last year than the guy from the first half. While he needs to start wiring that shot more often, when he does it just isn't hitting any more. And he doesn't have nearly as much space out there either due to teams checking him tighter. I'm worried he doesn't have the power or speed to create enough separation to do his thing. What annoys me is the typical reaction to these types of concerns. They're either "lol it's only been 4 games" (it's actually been half of last season, all of preseason, plus these 4 games) or "he's smart, he'll figure it out". It's a hand wave to the issue and doesn't address any of the actual concerns. As of this moment there's no precedence for us to believe that he will pull himself out of it. There exists the possibility that this is just the player he is. Does anyone feel that Brock and Petey should play on seperate lines? There is some chemistry but i felt Horvat and Brock had more chemistry when they played together. Petey can excel with anyone, but i almost feel he needs two tougher wingers on his line like Ferland to retreive pucks and do the dirty work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynwa Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Had the game set to record, but when I came to play it back the game was already a minute and change into the 3rd. Anybody else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Canucks played well enough to win....Philly is a good team with a good goalie. thought they played not to lose in the third, rather than taking it to the Flyers...a post away from losing playing like that...do not like that approach...saw it it too often last year where they gave up the lead in the third....maybe that's going to be the difference this year, they will be able to hang on better with the better "D".....still do not like it, would rather keep the foot on the gas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Umbrus Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Ok just read thru the PGT, a lot of talk about Baer over Leivo. I like Leivo but he was not finishing last night, I agree. But it’s still early to tell with him, just last game we were amazed how he scored that back handed tap in, thing of beauty...where were those hands tonight? Hoping for more consistency from him. Not sure if anyone here watched the Utica game before the canucks game yesterday? But will report that the comets won, and Baer assisted on the 3rd period game tying goal...and got another apple on the OT winner. He looked rusty to start the game but that quickly faded. He looked good out there, but I hate to say it..he was pelted hard a couple times and looks to be shy of contact. Him being on the Comets I think is a good thing, he will get his timing back and learn to take hits better. But right now to me he’s showing some weakness there. So he’s in a good spot and I agree with many here if Leivo can’t put a consistent effort out every night on the top 6 we will see Baer at home on Horvats wing at some point this season. As for the game, it was a greasy win...but they all count! GCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Attila Umbrus Posted October 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2019 Also no mention of Jordie Benns game. A big hit, plus many sound plays in his own end, plus he does not let many people get good footing in front of his goalie...him and Myers both are creating so much more space for our goalie to see shots. There is no metric to analyze that, but it can’t be said enough how important that is. We have been missing that muscle on our back end for years now and i’m very happy to see it back! Anyone else loving Myers snarl he brings!? The play where his helmet came off, he don’t care, i’ll crush this punk first...then go grab my lid...beauty! 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else have this problem? You must've set the recording on Sportsnet which was a delayed start. I think due to the MLB playoffs. If you recorded it from CBC, you would've gotten it from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seems like they're looking for each other a bit too much. I'd try splitting them up and putting Brock with Horvat and Pearson and Petey with Miller and Ferland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate for Jordie, he took a bit of a weak penalty that led to the tying goal (first PP goal against this season). Otherwise I agree, he's been sound. Myers has been excellent so far. All summer we had to hear how he was an overpaid bottom pairing guy that got exposed when his minutes went up. It's been quiet in that front so far. Hopefully we get Tryamkin back as well and our defense will be even more menacing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 6 hours ago, Hindustan Smyl said: The entire Pearson-Horvat-Leivo line really impresses me. It’s an extremely good two way line that is good defensively and seems to be difficult to contain down low. The chemistry between Pearson and Horvat has been a godsend. I’m still quite shocked that we were able to get Pearson for Gudbranson. also, even though Leivo fumbled the puck a few times, he was engaged and in the right spots...this line is still getting better. on another note, Ferland and Jake need to play together 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 as for our "D"...can see the steadiness from Benn and Myers in contrast to Tanev fighting the puck and getting himself into trouble... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Good game. Looks like they checked EP real close. The others got to pick it up if that happens. Impressed with how Markstrom continues to play well. That bad start may hold off Demko because we need to wins to get ahead of of the other teams. Playoffs are the number one priority!

Can't believe TG had him out in OT. (Like seeing Petey gets pissed off). Jake and Leivo need to switch spots imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a wins a win and it won’t matter how they got the 2 points in April. I cant stand Randorf as a Play caller. They use John Shorthouse for another broadcast and we get stuck with Randorf and Debrusk. Let them go call the Calgary games. Randorf was fine on Sports page doing highlights. Not my fave guy doing play by play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
