PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: Canucks @ Sharks November 2nd 2019

4-2 Nux Sharks -
He seemed have thrown that awkward haymaker after few body shots.. That didnt look like it hit the right spot.. Might have hit Clifford's helmet. Hope it's nothing serious.. he was just starting to find his rhythm out there.

PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: Canucks @ Ducks November 1st 2019

3-1 Nux. JT Miller, Nux. -
Miller is a very good piece in that Lotto line. I can see why they wanted either Ferly or Miller play in that LW slot. I have seen people try to jump Miller and bounce right back. His presence def helps EP and BB make plays with more confidence and not have to worry about noone being there to have their backs when push comes to shove. Who knew EP would be running around trying to find the guy who speared him and stand up for himself.. Poor Martinez.. Carter owes him a steak dinner.

To all the people who complained of putting EP and BB on their strong sides in PP: This is what happens if we give other teams more options to worry about. Now our PP is rolling. No more one trick pony. The opposing team needs to worry about different formations and they couldnt defend one-timer slots in the previous goal. Now, we switch back to strong sides and let Huggy rip one.. another goal.

Even if we don't dress him, it's still important to let him know he's the first call-up and keep his confidence up. Keeps the player happy. LE surprised many last game and played a good 4th line role. And should there be anyone not playing up to par, they would know Gaud is staring at their stalls. Also, I think it's good to have Gaud have more NHL practices. Familiarize himself with the system. I think this was a good call-up.

How Do We Manage Hughes's Ice Time So He Doesn't Burn Out?
LowerMainLander18 replied to Dr. Crossbar's topic in Canucks Talk
Luckily we have options to deploy Huggy differently than EP40 last season. EP40, playing 1st line minutes last season as a Centre was burnt out due to having to play against other team's shutdown lines. They all tried to play physical on him every given night.. I think Huggy will still have to fight through some physicality from opposing forecheckers as well.. But he is a defenceman in 2nd pair thus far. I think situation could be a little different. We have options to shelter his minutes so that his matchups are less challenging than what EP40 had to go through last season. Both Edler and Myers have had experience logging heavy minutes. Still I certainly hope we utilize him as best as we can to collect as many wins as possible.. And towards the later half of the season, perhaps cut down his minutes and deploy him situationally, should fatigue becomes an issue. -

6-2 Nux Over Brock Boeser -
Bob's save % this season? I wouldnt call him a world class goalie in Panthers uniform. And I know Barkov is one of the most underrated forwards in the game but... top 3 talent in the league? No chance. Never knew having descent players is something to cheer about in this sport. This is hockey. It's a tough game. You celebrate wins. This isn't a doll house where you like to stare at ur toys.
