[Jim Benning on Sportsnet 650]

11 hours ago, Bertuzzi44ever said:

I lost respect for Benning when he dealt McCann for Gudbranson. McCann is producing like a star right now he’s got one of the best plus minuses in the league and has like 15 points? 

 

Also giving eriksson and Tyler Myers six million each is ridiculous.

 

However he did draft Boeser, Petterson and Hughes, that has to be said here

And it evens it out.

 

i hope people realize this guy is out of a job probably if we don’t make the playoffs this year. You can say we’re third in our division, yeaaah but our division kind of sucks. I mean the oilers and coyotes as the top two teams, come on...two forwards on one team and the other has been to the playoffs like once in 20 yeArs.

 

were on pace for 38 wins, I don’t think a team had made the playoffs with that many wins in this new era playoff system but could be wrong.

 

i want a offensive defensemen who can actually hit the net. Waive Myers. Buy out Eriksson. 

 

Trade for Brandon montour, maybe give Buffalo sutter and a second?

Lol. To your points:

 

Honestly, very happy with McCann's progress. Sometimes it takes getting traded by multiple teams in order to wake up. In spite of a slow start, he's scoring at a solid 2nd line pace. The idea behind trading McCann and picks for a top 4 D was solid. However, Gudbranson did not pan out. Flipping him for Pearson was a decent move. Were you mad when Shinkaruk was moved for Granlund? 

 

Eriksson and Myers' free agency values were on par for what the market was dictating (Actually, it was thought Myers would sign for closer to $7 Million/Year). Do you honestly think Chatfield or Rafferty are ready to step up and fill his minutes when you send him down? Eilot?

 

Buy out Eriksson? You really need to check out the buy-out calculator on capfriendly.com. 

Brandon Montour is a pipe dream. 1st, the return is laughable. Did it work in NHL 20? 2nd, he's a pending RFA that could potentially eat up cap space required for EP and Hughes' new deals the following year. If you want a right-handed offensive defenseman, you're better off taking a flyer (pun intended) on Gostisbehere, who has 4 years left on a $4.5M contract with proven offensive pedigree. At the very least, you get cost certainty and a suitable replacement for Stecher, who will likely be traded or not qualified. Disclaimer: If you hate how Myers plays defensively, good luck with liking Ghost.

 

We're Canucks fans'; We should be comfortable being uncomfortable. I've been uncomfortable since 92.

The 3rd line caught my eye. It’s a line that has real possibilities. Those are some pieces that should fit well together, but they are still individuals and chemistry can’t be forced. 
 

Go Canucks Go!!!

I agree. Definitely has the potential to cause a few headaches. As critical as some fans get with Leivo, he's pretty dynamite along the boards and in maintaining puck possession. We're also seeing some underrated playmaking ability from Virtanen and a heap of energy from Gaudette. Should make for a good convo. My only criticism would be no left handed stick, but if Hughes or Edler jumps in, shouldn't be a huge issue, especially since Leivo and Virtanen have improved in the defensive end.

[[GDT] Canucks @ Stars, November 19, 2019 -- On the Road Again Edition]

General thought: what's the point in dressing players if they're going to have less than 5 minutes of ice time? For example, how does Graovac contribute with 2:30 toi? May as well have only dressed 3 centres IMO. Seeing that Beagle is good to go, here's hoping that changes.

[[GDT+Herbalism] Stars Vs Canucks | Nov. 14th, 2019 @ 7PM - Cdn Forces Night]

Looking forward to Graovac's Canucks debut! GCG!!!

[[PGT] New Jersey Devils at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 10, 2019]

That was a rough game to watch. Not because we lost, but because of the inconsistent reffing. Numerous missed calls on both sides, weird icing and offside calls and misses... Watching the Canucks lose stings,no doubt, but watching terrible officiating really puts me over the top. Almost makes me want to stop following the game. Something's gotta give... 

 

Back to the Canucks... I think it's safe to say that this is the first true test of adversity that this team has undergone this season. The next three home games are, in my opinion, what will really define how this season will progress. Three losses to three playoff teams can spell disaster. That said, if the Canucks can squeak a win over Nashville, I believe that will do wonders for the club. 

[[GDT] Nucks @ Hawks November 7 2019 5:30pm Pacific - watch live on SNP]

I'm going to miss the first period... Here's hoping they don't score 5 in a row until the 2nd lol!

 

Here's to a big win!!!

[[PGT] St. Louis Blues at Vancouver Canucks | Nov. 05, 2019]

Unfortunate end to an otherwise entertaining, playoff-style game. 

 

As an aside... at what point does setting a pick become interference? Because the Blues are either dirty with their pick-plays, or they're brilliant in their execution of opening lanes.

[[GDT] Blues @ Canucks Nov 5 2019 7pm SNP]

Heavy game so far. Blues have a good team. Noticing a lot of picks, or at the very least, conveniently getting in the way... enjoying in any event!

Team Analysis

 

Top 5 Scorers:

• JT Miller: 6G-7A-13P in 11GP
• Elias Pettersson: 3G-10A-13P in 11GP
• Brock Boeser: 4G-6A-10P in 11 GP
• Bo Horvat: 5G-4A-9P in 11 GP
• Alex Edler: 3G-6A-9P in 11GP

 

Who’s Hot:

• Tim Schaller: One third of a very effective 4^th line, scoring 4 goals in his last 3 games.
• Jake Virtanen: Since being promoted Horvat’s wing, has embarked on a 3 game goal streak (3G in 3GP)
• Bo Horvat: On a 4 game point streak with 7 points (4G and 3A), including his first career hat trick on October 22.

 

Who’s Not:

• Tyler Myers: Although playing well has yet to find the back of the net and has not scored a point in five games.
• Tanner Pearson: Went 6 games without a point before getting an assist against Florida on October 28.

 

Who to Watch for:

• Micheal Ferland: After a slow start, watch for Ferland to continue to contribute offensively.
• Loui Eriksson: After dressing for only his second game this season, watch for Eriksson to continue his strong play in his new role as 13^th forward and a Fill-in for Motte on the 4^th line.

 

Sick Bay:

• Antoine Roussel: LBI, expected back in November
• Tyler Motte: LBI, Week to week.

I think expectations were lower last season. He caught teams by surprise last year and I doubt many expected him to come out of the gate like he did. He could simply be at the same level as last year, but now the expectations are there from fans and from the opposition focusing on shutting him down harder.

 

It will be up to him to find another level to his game to breakthrough the tighter checking, but in the meantime, he is still producing despite not looking as effective (much like how we are still getting results despite a weaker PP so far). Just imagine if he does find that other level and how much more productive he would be (much like the PP, how much more dangerous we would be if it starts clicking as well).

To further elaborate on this, look how much space Hughes gets because defenders are cheating to cover Pettersson/Boeser. Lead to two power play goals last game. Once defenders treat Hughes with more respect, Petey's one-timer will start up again.

I'm really baffled at how many people think Petey is starting off slow.

 

He had 66 points in 71 games last year for a points-per-game of 0.930.

 

This year he has 10 points in 9 games so far for a points-per-game of 1.111.

 

I have to assume it's the 2 goals that are making people freak out, but I wouldn't look past his 8 assists.

I was about to say... If this is Petey cold, I don't mind...
