Is the Current Canuck Defence Playoff Team Quality? (My Analysis)
Timråfan replied to JamesB's topic in Canucks Talk
If OEL is back in his old days it’s quite right because then we have three top 3/4 D players in the league and two of them in top ten. After them we have a lot of 5/6 players, a lot… So we can let them play hard and hit a lot if so. -
It seems you and Stawns don’t get what I’m talking about. You two are still thinking of the goalie as a one man show when I and other see it as a long endurance game. If we can play two goalies of equal quality it is much better than to over play one goalie til he get those nagging injuries a modern goalie gets when they flip flop all over. The goalie stands the whole game while the other players relaxing a lot. I don’t see Silovs as a new shiny toy that will take Demkos place. I see him as a compliment that make both Demko and Silov play healthy for a longer period of time.

Didn’t we trade a real small C?
-
He can jump up and down from Abby so it might be much more games than you think. I want him to take the games Demko isn’t the starter in. If you call that big or small part doesn’t matter. (Around 30 games probably if not Tocchet ride Demko til he get injured again so Silovs and Martin is the combo for half the season.) It might generate 10 more points over a season compared to Martin. That might be the difference between Playoff or not.
-
I truly disagree with you…
-
We actually has a faboulus top 9 if we add three of the following Di Guiseppi/Podz Räty/Åman Hogz/Garland if we only had a C in Hogz and Garlands size we could have the Pygmy-line crushing the oppo…
-
I still want playoffs and Silovs has a big part in that. If they solve it so Silovs can come up and play half his time in Abby and half with the Canucks it might be really good.

[Signing] Sabres re-sign Kyle Okposo

We have to get the other guy back into this discussion about LE. Neither of us know enough it seems. I can just guess it depends on how the coach want the player to play/rotate and that here LE played a style he wasn’t suited for. Only my 2 cents or even one if you like… -
[Signing] Sabres re-sign Kyle Okposo

You still don’t seem to know as much as the one talking about how he was used before, system/strategy. You haven’t spoken of thise aspect he refered to. -
Wasn’t DiGuiseppi decent?
-
I want him win games for the Canucks and since Demko should play tops 55 games it means Silovs get 27 games plus playoffs for both. But yes, rather sit 60 and play against the best than play 60 and don’t meet the best. As I said, Silovs can be the difference between playoffs or not. Do you want him to play in AHL if it means we miss the playoffs?
-
Why do you count ECHL and US Coll? Silovs have played 84 games in ECHL, AHL, NHL and for Latvia. That seems like enough games compared with a lot of the goalies you showed, 19 I think.

It’s been said by people who actually seemed to know how he was used in Boston and Dallas and neither Green or WW used him like that. One thing also was that he had a lot of pressure on himhere that he didn’t had earlier and that also took it’s toll especially since his own goal that came at the worst moment. Similar like when DiPietro played against the Sharks and Green hang him out to dry. We played a very offensive game against ghe Sharks when we should have helped DiPietro more. -
I rather stick his speed on Peteys line and let Millers line be a bit harder to play against.

I wonder where Hirose is.

(Rumour) Canucks Blackhawks at the draft
Timråfan replied to Baratheon's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
The influx of new players is next year. I saw I was a bit unclear of that. And no, we don’t have a cap problem. As Elias showed we have no problem what so ever unless Poolman and Pearson comes back to play at the same time. -

We don’t have to move salary. We have contracts disappearing at the right time. So no, other GMs know squat if they have the same view as you. They can try but no gain for them as you probably saw in the Horvat and Hronek trade. If we do anything that cost picks, it’s either for a gritty D or a real 3C. you can relax and sit back, watching the team grow together with influx of players like Räty, Lekkerimäki, Pettersson, Johansson next season. They will be cheap also. -
Didn’t Demko play injured or rather not fully rehabilitated after an injury. Similar to OEL.
-
As long as I followed the Canucks the goalie has played to many games so he get injured. Marky and Demko suffered from that. So I might suffer some ptsd regarding coaches playing goalies too hard. I raise you with Petey and Hughes. If they had played in AHL you had set them back two years slower in development. It’s all about talent and IQ. Jake is a very bad example regarding IQ. If Demko plays 45-50 games he will stay much healthier through his career. So we might have a goalie tandem working for ten more years instead of pushing one goalie away as soon as we think we got the next star. If the cost is too high eventually we got a large sample to see wich goalie to continue with.
-
You do the same mistake as a lot of fans here do and it seems GM does also. We should play the best team. Very simple to do. Similar to always pick BPA at the draft. I don’t know where you got the idea from that Demko and Silovs can’t play at the same time. Where does that ridiculus idea come from? The Canucks is a team and a team help eachother. Silovs is here to get more wins and rest Demko at the same time. He can be the one and only difference between play off or not.
-
At least the same defence Demko had for a few years
-
Add the numbers from las WC when Silovs was backup and stood four games.
-
I definately disagree with letting him play in Abby. One of the more important reasons is we win more games with him in the team. What is more important? That the Canucks or Abby win?!? Are we destined for playoffs or are you gonna take a chance regarding playoffs the coming season?
-
Wich of those teams have an alien?
