  1. OKi so the game from a large rink to a small rink is not easy for everyone. It requires a good hockey iq in the first place and it can take a long time to get adjusted. When ur sent to the AHL it has often to do with adaption and the way u play with and without the puck and its faster in the NHL. I agree that SHL is better then AHL but the coaches and staff always make an in depth analysis and evaluates their performance accordingly. Hoglander was a superstar in the SHL but dont expect the same from a group of young players that is not used to a small rink. U need so much more then skill, u need to be able to adapt and act so much faster then on a large rink and that can take some time to get adjusted to. Hoglander is exceptional, but there are numerous players that needs to get used to it. So no..the discussion about send them to the NHL to learn NA hockey will stay. However its not the forum that has the inside knowledge about what they need....im sure u have figured that out yourself already.
  2. okkkkiiiii sooo....WHY is it why cant win against Habs? they are good...but they arent great. Why is it then so difficult? is it enough to keep a special marking on our 2 top lines and thats it? its getting really annoying not being able to get a win...and it feels like we havent been close a single game against them. I dont see how we can win with those facts from this seasons games and from the games against them so far. Im guessing a 4-1 win for habs unless the coaches finds a way to confuse and dismantle the montreal Defensive system. sorry to say but i just dont see it....
  3. Yep..so far looks like hes really back into his groove again. Early in the season but this is looking good for the entire first line if Brock can continue this way.
  4. Incredibly enough this was a game in which we actually skated circles around the jets. Great game, best of the season imo. Brock with the hot hands and our first line coming to life. Also enjoyed macewens play in this one. Hoglander continuing to impress. Yep, this was a real good game for the boys...and for us watching.
  5. uffffff Jets......everytime ive watched nucks vs jets its been a disaster..... always when facing a high pressure speedy team its been a disaster. Hoping for a change now that the teams gotten a few wins and our first line has started to produce. Hoping for a 4-3 win for the boys......
  6. podkolzin-Bo-hoglander seems like a great 2nd line.....next season?
  7. The entire team has struggled and id say schmidt has looked good. we will see how he evolves but hes played well imo.
  8. Yea Demko did some great matches but also fell kinda flat on others. At least comparing to from whenl Nilsson left, he is still inconsistent like most young goalies are. He needs to be more consistent and raise his lowest level. Goalie is not the main issue right now, Demko is still pretty good, he and Holtby needs more help and not stand against a bunch of breakaways like the Montreal series. Hes clearly better then the current season stats show like most of the guys on the team are.
  9. Well ill be working but if they pull this one off its a bit of a miracle considering half our D is gone and the top players confidence is at the bottom. Only consistant plaer so far is Bo. More ppl needs to take more responsibility and bring their A-game. im the only one missing Marky a lot? well.....hoping for an effort showing they dont wanna just roll over and die....FIGHT for it.....focus.....and play for eachother. U need to make something special with what we have now. Lets do it!!!
  10. Hm.....big game tonight. Im hoping yesterdays game didnt take all the gas in the tank.Edler is a key player and will definetly be missed. Hope Petey gets some goals tonight...on the other hand, if they keep marking him the others should get some nice chances...... yup..interesting game tonight...
  11. hmm....time to let the frustration turn into energy used in the right way....tough oponent tonight, Andersson is looking deadly....really good. If the boys can bounce back and get a big win it would mean a LOT for the teams confidence. We need a W and we want some goals....tonight is just the purrrrfect time for it....
  12. Actually he deserved that one....he lost it against calgary since he had enough and hasnt been able to produce as well as taking a bunch of cheap shots.. The first line hasnt had a good start apart from the first game so Peteys obviously frustrated. Its gonna be a phase to go through to get back to focusing on the right things and working hard. He needs to regain some confidence and feel hes contributing to the team. He knows his role. Just gotta ifnd that flow and get some bounces his way.
  13. Season opener was great for Holtby. We already know how good he is but u never know how his game will be, especially on a new team, untill u actually see it. Very happy to see him this good. Excellent performance.
  14. perfect start for a sniper..... this is exactly what u want from a natural goascorer. hope he gets in the zone and gets a streak going.
  15. "there can be only one...." yeahh that was an impressive debut. I have seen him play in the SHL so i know he has qualities and great potential even if he never produced in the same pace as EP40 did. But he definetly stepped up and it was very exciting to see him play the way he did, skating and working hard in the battles for the puck, and his great skating and technique. The passing was stellar and created great chances. Its like having another Petey even if Highlander doesnt have quite the same IQ. But with this i think we have another player that can pass the puck and create chances for his teammates with his creativity. Very very excited to see his progress and if this was just a fluke or if he really is this good already. i mean seriously......First Boeser, then Petey, then hughes....and now Hoglander. This is insanely good.
  16. Hoglanders been looking real good all game...first game...first goal....im getting some petey vibes here.
  17. some english subtitled clips from an interview from a swedish sports magazine.
  18. ahhh Finally gamenight again..covid everywhere but tonight its finally hockey again......Concern ofc that miller is out of the lineup being a top line player top point player and overall hard working forward. Very excited for Hoglander to get a chance from the get go being a very talented player in the SHL and aparently is ready for the NHL. Interesting to see schmidt with Edler also on the D since Stecher and Tanev are both gone. Hope Jake continues to evovle and most likely will be on the 1st line with Petey and brock. Also looking for ward to watching some Petey magic on the ice, to see him take the next step in his evolution to greatness.
  19. So.....this is it......make it or break it. This is the time when heroes need to emerge and sacrifice the last piece of themselves to get the win. This is win or go home.....u need to put everything on the line and explode in the right moment and keep composed untill u find those openings. Dont let it end tonight.... this is the last chance for this years team to be together and make something great happen. yes, we are the underdogs....but we got hunger energy and great talent. Lets make the best of it.....and move on to the next round!!
  20. This is exciting times to be a nucks fan. The team has come together in a fantastic way and Marky is standing on his head making saves left and right and would get my vote for Vezina the way hes played. The problem now is the team we are facing is playing with high pressure and has been one of the top teams in the league in playing that way. This is a major hurdle to come across and theres no telling what will happen until we actually play them. If u wanna win the cup u gotta beat them all and considering the qualifiers and the bout against the blues i say we can really do it...we can win the cup! The question is if they can maintain this level and handle the way vegas plays their tactics. Its gonna be tough...its gonna be brutal....and its gonna be one hell of an exciting series to watch. i say about the same as against the blues.... Nucks in 6!
  21. Hes playing Vezina style right now....stupendous...
  22. he was a monster against the blues in game 5...
