Popular Post 1-d Posted November 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) So Tanev went down, as expected. Next up will be Edler if he keeps playing 25+ minutes a game. Green just keeps riding them until they break down, which is inevitable given their age and injury history. It's painful to watch especially Edler, gassed, lumbering and committing silly penalties in the 3rd. Tanev and Edler should be playing third pairing minutes now to remain effective. And please for the love of god, take Edler off the power play. With zero puck moving sense and extraordinary talent for hitting shinpads, he's essentially the on-ice incarnation of Newell Brown. I like Green but please, somebody get it through the coach's thick skull. Edited November 8, 2019 by 1-d 1 2 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I'd argue its because he can't do anything. All he can do is play it safe & try to defend. He doesn't have speed, offensively his confidence is non-existent, plays with the puck die on his stick. Baertschi isn't a liability defensively, he's reliable, that part of his game came along way from when we traded for him. And he has speed, skill & hockey sense that Eriksson doesn't have. I just don't see the downside into making the swap honestly, its all upside. Edited November 8, 2019 by Smashian Kassian 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be opposed to Eriksson coming out of the lineup and Leivo/Pearson sliding to the 4th though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just like to Sven in the lineup & Eriksson out of the lineup. Team has had quite a few "not great" games so far. Which is to be expected when the bulk of your best players are under 24/25. If this is the only not great game for this team we have expectations way too low. They been winning a good share of games and stealing some points but overall the team is not as polished as it'll be by the end of the season. At least that's the hope. Cause the way we are playing now won't win us games in Feb-April, hell it's barely stealing points for us now. Young team, lots of room to grow. Another stinker they'll hopefully learn from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmautzie Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Bo needs some help on his wings. He is looking invisible at times lately. Time to give Sven a shot with him to try and get his mojo back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been playing some good hockey as of late, and for the majority of the season. Aside from NJ this game really sticks out as the one where we just 'didn't have it', I'd say. I agree with your analysis. Still a young team & I think we'll grow from it. We just weren't in a groove tonight, but good teams can still find ways when things just aren't clicking. Plenty of room to grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The boy had practice then we had to make a quick visit to my folks. They werent watching the game and told me not to bother with a replay, highlights will do. Looking at the box score and reading the comments... turns out the old folks were right. Guess I won't watch the game. Lots of frustration it seems. Our $&!#ty PP seems to be a big part of it. I'm really looking forward to a few people complaining about Brown so I can cram their bull$&!# right back down their throats. Blowhard fluffers. Any of you turds getting all uppity over my critisism of Baumer and Brown best be shutting the &^@# up. A break out needs more options than one outlet, or skate it out and our PP set up trash. I havent even watched the game and I can tell from the box score our d struggled to transition and our PP sucked balls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with giving Baumer the year at the very least, I don't think he's been bad. But enough is enough with Newell his PP was bad 3 years ago and with improved personnel it hasn't improved at all. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo1763 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I remember when everyone laughed at me and locked my thread when I said once we stop scoring 5 goals a game we will lose. LITERALLY exactly what I expected. Markstrom lets in a first period softy every game he plays in, then a second goal. Does anyone even remember the last Canuck shutout? Or just let it one goal? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The puck carrier is pretty much &^@#ed if his one outlet gets cut off. And if he's not a strong skater we're giving the puck away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck-lifer Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hoping for this lineup tomorrow to get the win Miller -Pettersson- Boeser Baer- Horvat- Gaudette Leivo - Sutter- Virtanen Pearson- Beagle- Schaller Edler Myers Hughes- Benn Fantenburg- Stecher Demko We have been on a roll, and the sky is not falling with 1 loss. really like our 1st and 3rd lines overall and think Jake and Leivo have some good chemistry most of the time. Our fourth line is suppose to be an energy line and Eriksson is a good defensive forward but feel Pearson would fit better right now with his speed and heaviness. Baer with bo and Gaudette gives us 3 good offensively talented players that we need on a 2nd line and hopefully Bo hangs on to some line mates. Tanev, (if not in the line up) is a big loss to protect Hughes so Benn has to step in there to shelter him so he can do what he does best Get your swagger back boys! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
