  1. Gameday, against one of the better teams in the league, No Crosby though, thk god. Malkin is still a major threat though, as always. Im thinking a 4-2 win for Nucks.... Petey, Miller, Bo, Brock with the goals.
  2. As much as i like Huggybear i still got to admit, Makar has impressed me too. Great all over the ice. Dont think hes as good as QH on the PP though
  3. Petey with Pearson and brock....Bo with Miller and Macewen...ehhh.....really??? enough for the fact that this is one of those games where nucks face a team thats heavier and tactical and no 1 in the league, not to mention contenders for the cup. But those lines are just.....wtf imo. well....hope for a bang and nucks manages to squeeze a point out of this. 3-3 and in ot i dont guess anymore. Brock, Miller, Edler with the goals.
  4. Everyone talks about injuries like that is the key factor, while at the same time there are those that wants guys like sutter traded. This was pure and simple solid defense and Key marking from the stars. They knew who to lock down and made it severly difficult for nucks to get a good entry across the Offensive blue line. Theres no reason to panic, instead simply watch, learn find solutions and move forward to the next game. Its gonna be a long road trip, so just let the team come together and they will find ways to win.
  5. thk god Beagle is back! Much needed PK and on the faceoffs. Still a tough game on the road. Hoping for a comeback and a win to get some confidence for the long road trip. nucks win 4-3. Petey, Brock, Gaud, Pearson with the goals. Huggybear and eddie an assist.
  6. The problem is that Gaud is a 2nd line player imo. Hes better offensively and is more useful there. Sutter, Beagle has the other C positions and i think its wether or not Gaud can play the RW and wether or not Jake will have that position. Miller-petey-Brock Leivo/Pearson-Bo-Gaud/Jake Pearson/Ferland-Sutter-Jake/Gaud Eriksson-Beagle-Schaller Its tough competition when everyone is healthy. Bo gets a heavy workload as center untill Beagle is back with the double shifts he did saturday against the avs. Personally i wouldnt mind seeing Leivo-Bo-Gaud as a 2nd line though.....Leivo has got the wheels and is also a creative player. Bo does everything and Gaud seems to be on the virge of a breakthrough as a sniper type of player.
  7. Never break a winning formula is my saying. Id NEVER put Miller down since he and petey and brock work so well together. Miller-Petey-Brock Baer-Bo-Jake Pearson-Gaud-Leivo Eriksson-Schaller-Macewen that would be my choice. Use Bos line for more 0-0 plays and pk. gaud can be used more as offense. Schaller can play C and hold a 0-0 line. The edge Miller gives to the 1st line is way too precious....and needed.
  8. Hard to tell.....im not too fond of Miller being replaced by Leivo on Peteys line. The team faced oponents that are difficult, devils always difficult and jets playing with high pressure which was last seasons major akillesheal. Leivo petey brock did create some nice plays last year but Milller is a step above and has been outstanding when they play together. in any case....Benn vs benn...im putting my money on the beard... 4-2 win nucks. Petey, brock, Edler, Pearson with the goals. Huggybear one assist.
  9. So...finally an oponent whos strategy is not "difficult" as jets or Devils. This one feels better even if the oposition is a strong one, one of the better in the league id say. Hoping the team comes together and gets some of those simple goals that are much needed for the W. Id say its a win for the nucks, 4-2. Petey, Brock, Leivo, Bo with the goals. Huggybear with an assist.
  10. early game, and the devils seem to be playing a system thats hard for nucks to crack. Im hoping for a change with our "new" top line scoring some goal. i expect a close game, 2-1 win for nucks. Boeser, Miller with the goals. both on the PP. Huggybear 1 assist.
  11. Well i feared a loss and got it Jets and knights both play with a high pressure and created great difficulties for nucks to get through the midzone. Sloppy passes from D to forwards just made it hard to get the space needed. At the same time we did create chances, but didnt bury them and then jets got some puckluck at the right moments and got the win. Our first line is looking mighty fine. Its gotta be one of the top 5 lines in the league. Yes...they are that good! Devils game next, for some reason nucks always have a hard time against them.....hoping for a win this time though.
  12. jake misses...Bo misses....then they get a highway all the way to Demko and scores.....
  13. If i had Kakko on a team thats pretty much were Nucks were last year id simply put him on the first line, Panarin-Zibanejas-Kakko and let the kid play as many minutes as possible. Jack Hughes: 3G 4A -6 on 13gp Kaapo Kakko 3G 2A -11 on 13gp those 2 will both be top 2 lines material but both need icetime and confidence.
  14. his beard alone would pass as a lumberjack...
  15. i couldnt have stated this better myself Miller is the biggest reason why our first line has been as productive and dangerous as it has/is. to me its also the way he works when chasing the puck and getting it to his linemates. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-jt-miller/c-310937784
  16. Gameday, and Huggybear is back. Tarasenko missing for the blues. Im guessing it will be a close game but im confident our guys will win it. 4-3 nucks. Brock, Miller, Bo, Gaud with the goals. Huggybear with 2 assists...
  17. guess this was incorrect or some irony i didnt get.... Glad to see virtanen stil in the lineup. Gaud on 2nd line with Bo? thats a new one, looks interesting. still, nucks heavily disadvantage playing back to back and without Hugggy bear in the lineup.
  18. The plot Thickens.....what kind of agent did write that tweet???
  19. so...first off.....who where when did anyone think that in a teamsport as hockey, a hockey player doesnt think about their team and teammates? and secondly....why is MacKinnon the word for that? and 3rd....WHY IS THIS POSTED IN ELIAS PETTERSSONS THREAD????????????
