This is the type of game he should excel. Big fast physical game but he was rather pedestrian. He has the speed to get in and blow up their players but didn't engage. Rest of his game was fine If Toff is back soon he is at risk of losing his spot on the roster. yes he hasn’t had much ice time to showcase but what he has had, he hasn’t excelled with (apart from the back check against the wild) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlemonger Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The team is looking real good. Hughes is the best defenseman in the league right now. And Sutter? What happened? He's on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened? He's on fire. Hughes is one of the best offensive/puck moving D men at the moment. Wouldn’t say best overall. He still gets sheltered defensive duties. Sutter is just living up to his name and gone into the playoff zone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on the games I watched during the qualifying round, he was fine, not his regular season self but fine. How was he today? to my eyes Jake's game last night was more suited to Stars On Ice than NHL playoffs...

Kid just doesn't want to mature. If OJ can be a player, he seems to be headed in the right direction now, it will lessen the sting of the first round disappointment of Jake. Good chance Seattle takes him as I doubt we waste our time protecting him. Too many let downs with Jake vs the great moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post knucklehead91 Posted August 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2020 I was too drunk to post on the forums last night... So here it is.WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What a stellar game!! Horvats goal had me cheering and jumping up and down like mad in the bar last night. That was a purely dominant play and reminded of Kesler. Absolutely loved it. ALSO.... Are you fans starting to see the reasons why guys like Sutter and Beagle were given such contracts? Sutter was a friggin work horse and that partial break away was a thing of beauty, seeing him fight through 2 guys to get to the puck first and get ahead and almost scored and ended up drawing a penalty. Loui Eriksson had a good game getting the puck in deep, keeping it in deep and retrieving pucks. now for the media’s favorite whipping boy... Jake Virtanen.... had some nice hard hits and there was a particular play last night that stood out to me, which was where he took away a grade A scoring chance, when the pass came back door and Virtanen read the play from the top of the circle, dropped down low got stick out and took the pass away. Motte was a friggin runaway diesel last night, the kid didnt stop. Marky’s double left pad save made me lose my voice. The star players of this team were stars once again, everyone in the lineup played great, top to bottom. Lets bring that again tomorrow. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good gawd this is a tough crowd here. The guy is 25, coming on like a freight train and a good capt. He’s basically has his entire career in front of him with unknown highs. The Canucks would be foolish to trade him. He needs to stay part of the young nucleus going forward and take the cap hit but filing in with veterans as the roster moves take place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend a lot of time around here and don’t recall too much chatter about trading Bo. Now that we are out of that ditch how about our depth and speed. We have some guys that will abuse that Faulk and Dunn pairing. Can’t wait for game 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can trade rather then lose him at the draft (if JB decides his time is up) However for him if that does happen it might be the kick up the arse he needed to wake up and realise he is drifting and wasting his talent Edited August 13, 2020 by UKNuck96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
