  1. I actually think Hughes will provide more offense then Ehrhoff and Myers is a much bigger physical deterrent on the back end. Myers would have been "nice to have" in the Boston series.
  2. Hmmmm.........and no one with scrimmage experience on the Lotto Line..........Seen this coming. Can I say, I told you so? Luckily we have depth though and we will be OK. GCG!!!
  3. When the playoffs kick off and we have Schmidt and Hamonic fighting along the boards for the puck instead of Tanev and Stecher, we will see a big difference in this teams success. I can't wait!!!!!
  4. Another piece to the playoff puzzle. Good job GMJB!
  5. Not cool from one teammate to another. Way to build comradery. Bo called him out too. I think those issues should remain in the locker room.
  6. Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN · 2h Boeser talked about Jake playing on their top line last year against Pittsburgh and how it wasn’t their best game defensively. “...If Jake is on our line we’re going to have to make sure to be responsible defensively.
  7. I tried to suggest that earlier but I was villified for even thinking about changing our typical lines(Lotto Line/Bo and Pearson) we have had in seasons past. "Why change what isn't broke" I think was said to me. Oh well, time to scramble and the season hasn't even begun yet.
  8. Cap Friendly site starting to show teams "Taxi Squads" , nothing for the Canucks yet. Not sure if this info is out there yet but thought I should share in case it isn't.
  9. In with : Hamonic,Schmidt Out with: Tanev,Stecher,Baertchi and Ericksson The playoffs and "Team Toughness" are looking more and more promising by the minute.
  10. Finally! we can put the Ericksson and Baertchi are legit NHLers to bed. No ill will towards them and I wish them luck. Oh and by the way, Trump is not a legit President either.
  11. I get it , you have a need to win the argument and you really ,really like coach Green so we will end it here. I stand by my statements and if you dont like them........Oh well.
  12. You sure have a lot of assumptions. I agree , he has a very good chance of making the team but until he goes through all of the steps leading up to that point, there is no for sures here. Concept of the big picture? Wow you got that from me making a few statements? OK. Was LE part of the big picture? because it sure looked like it last year.
  13. He totally dominated in the playoffs last year.
  14. Typical . Pen a player in an NHL line up before he has even played 1 game. Good one.
  15. I like most of what Green does but is everyone perfect? Are we supposed to agree to every decision he makes? I am not a follower like that. He seems to have a stubborness about some things just as good Willy D had, which was eventually his downfall. Yes we did have a great year last year but I kind of attribute that to certain players we have like Bo, Petey, Miller, Hughes and our goalies stood on their heads last year, especially in the playoffs. I think our goalie coach should have more accolades to be honest over Green.
  16. "Bieber loving man child most nights"? Wow, tell us how you really feel. You see, I didn't have a bias towards his play so I never seen how you are portraying him. I seen him what looked like a player who was not fully in shape as a player should as a pro. As the season went on, this seemed to have improved. A young player with issues, I see that, but the potential is still definitely there. This year, he worked on that, and it shows. What we need in the top 6 is another Miller. Is Pearson that player? Not seeing it. If Hogs makes it , I am wanting another player in the Ferlund/Miller vein and not a Pearson/Baertchi type player. I want our offensive players getting into the O zone and staying there and not being too weak or strong enough to retrieve the puck from the corners and setting up our skilled players. Thats why I had a problem with LE being on that line because he was not producing offensively and he was not going into the boards and retrieving the puck for the more skilled players, he just got in the way at times.
  17. I have trust in Benning, Green? Not so much. Having Ericksson play the majority of the year(last year) in the top 6 really gave me doubts. Seeing Jake have offensive success in the top 6, and then relegated back to the bottom 6 had me scratching my head. Having Bo as a shut down guy instead of being a second line of attack behind Peteys line makes me wonder when we have guys on the team(Beagle,Sutter,Motte etc.) to shut down the oppositions top lines. Kind of like he is attempting this year with an offensive player(Hogs) playing beside Bo and LE playing where he should be(4th line). Why didn't he figure that out last year?
  18. That will happen no matter who they are playing with and is an entirely different argument.
  19. Big difference between the 1st day of training camp and the last day. The "Lotto line" and Bo and Pearson need no time to see if they gel just time to tune up before the season starts. When issues arise during the regular season, and they will, then maybe we can return to this discussion again.
