xereau Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Updated the Canucks' roster in the OP. Gaudette out doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It wasn't him that whiffed on a dozen high quality chances. Then again, he didn't get into position for a dozen hq chances either. Benning needs to make a trade and break the log jam, but unfortunately, I don't see that coming until Roussel is back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alt kilgore Posted October 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2019 Gaudette out doesn't bother me. Green has a history of easing younger players into the lineup. Even if they are not playing poorly. Its a strategy. If he sees some bad habit creeping in, even just minutely, they have enough time in their upcoming careers to sit out a game once in awhile to watch and learn. And then be recharged to come out stronger than ever. Motte deserves some playing time. Get the rust out. And keep your heads up boys, the bulldog is looking for payback! 1 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 This is a game that I fully expect our top line to break out. I'm going 6-3 Nucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hope the crowd really gives Bulldog the appreciation he earned here tonight. Nice to see Motte back and healthy - he's a key component of Beagle's shutdown line - they are great together. I think the fact Gaudette is out as opposed to Schalller (or Leivo) likely means that Virtanen may continue to see some spot duty up the lineup with Horvat (and Sutter...). I like that setup - Green is dangling the odd opportunity and it seems to keep Virtanen engaged/encouraged. I like his fit with Horvat's game as well. I've liked Gaudette's game - perhaps a bit more than Leivo's thus far (as an option to step up in the lineup) - but Leivo despite some stick-squeezing continues to work hard and get to the right areas - just hasn't been able to finish. I might have thought Schaller would be the guy to concede his spot to Motte, but it looks like they want a stronger shutdown/pk presence in the lineup. Anyhow - I love what Motte brings - people might question who comes out of the lineup - but him going in is a no-brainer imo - perhaps we could avoid playing guys like Motte and Gaudette off of each other in circumstances like this - that is not really the point. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have to disagree Larkin is sick. I feel like Bo is criminally underrated at #45 centre like WTF? He’s always snubbed as a top 100 player in the league. I’d say he should be about 80 and definitely ahead of Monahan I agree with your last statement 100%. I’m intrigued to see the Monny/Bo comparison become a talking point, with Bo having more media attention as the captain now. Maybe he’ll finally get some recognition. You can’t argue against Bo being way more responsible and taking a heavier load in terms of deployment. But people love Monny’s goals (no matter if an elite playmaker is on his wing). I think Bo is more valuable for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move Sutter and Leivo to line 4 , put Gaudette back on line 3 dump Schaller Green is an idiot It's player management more than anything. I said this in a post a while back about why Gaudette wasn't on the opening night roster. Kid is new to being a full time NHL player. You want to keep him engaged, hungry, rested. Taking a night off here and there is not going to hurt him, only going to fuel him for next game. Remember when they sat Boeser like 6 games into the season 2 years ago? It's ok, it will all be ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bo is more valuable for sure. But to say Monohan isn't the better player is a lie. He's definitely the better forward. Whether you'd prefer one or the other on your team is a different story but Monohan has been good the past few seasons. Bo's only had one decent season. Hopefully he continues to trend the way he is but I don't think you can argue a guy that was over a ppg (even if it was with Gudreau) last season isn't better than somebody who put up over 20 points less.

This is what I will be watching for going forward with this new core. Letting off the gas as in the 3rd period with the Flyers and this type of commitment. They are literally getting paid millions of dollars to be the best they can be. This is where leadership and character are critical in building a successful team. I sure hope this improves in the very near future. Captain Bo get these guys motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
