  1. o i agree on the salary, the question was: imo he can kill off PK and lock down other lines but also play creatively even if he doesnt produce on a top 2 line level. His salary is a different story compared to that. Today we have Ferland, Leivo, Schaller, Motte, Roussel so id put Eriksson on a 4th line pendin on how well he performs on practice. sort of a day to day decision. but like i said, thats imo.
  2. well shockingly enough fans dont like it when hes on the team or when hes in the stands. Personally id consider him an expensive third liner that can play at any given situation. But thats me, too many complaints on him and management and ownership will say ok lets do what the fans wants and keep him off the ice. So there u go. I feel bad for loui not catching a flow of goals/points but thats things that happends to many players and now here we are.
  3. devils shut down nucks, but they did create some chances. Poor puckhandling and passing in the wrong moments many times and never got that "flow" needed when possessing the puck. Well i did mention the devils has a strategy that simply turns out poorly for the nucks and so its same story again. Looking forward to next game.....
  4. Well Devils without Hischier is ofc good but Devils has unerachieved with their team imo. They have only reently started to win and im guessing its gonna be tough to get a win there. Its like the devils has a strategy that doesnt suit nucks and thats not good at all. Hoping for a 3-2 win here but like mentioned im worried. On the brightside i think Peteys line will get some points and im hoping the team can keep it tight in the backend. The Hughes brothers matchup isofc interesting but id say Quinn is way ahead of Jack.
  5. Well in any case im glad they put together Miller-Petey-Brock. When first hearing about the miller trade i had that line in my mind all along. They have started producing and i think they will produce consistently throughout the season. Brocks production goes up and when he gets a few goals he will get some of that confidence u only get by scoring goals. Its what he does and has a natural talent for it. This line looks solid!
  6. yep he was good these 2 games and its fantastic to have options after marky. There will always be ups and downs and if Demko can maintain a high level of play he will get more games and ease of the preassure from Markstrom.
  7. From an article on Elias during end of the preseason. He mentions that Its awesome that people like him and it motivates him more. WHen asked how he will handle more attention from the oposition he says his dad has prepared him from his younger years since he told Elias that they hook and grab him since they cant keep up with him. To turn that into an advantage that they are focusing on him resulting in powerplays. He also says everyone in the team stands up for eachother and actually mentions Ferland as being one of the more powerful players when asked who would be a suitable "bodyguard" on the roster.....
  8. Not sure about anything in this game....i think most ppl are underestimating wings when looking at their lineup. Nucks dont have Marky tonight and no idea what form Demko currently has. Not sure about the line changes, why is gaud out? Ferland is back on 2nd line meaning they want more power on the 2nd line? Or they want more things from the 3rd line since Leivo is with sutter and Jake? So to me theres a lot of questionmarks for this game. Im hoping our first line continues to produce and that Ferland gets one of those games where he really shines. hoping for a 3-2 win for nucks, Brock, Bo, Edler with the goals.
  9. Loved the way he stood up for Jake last game. Thats how u want ur teammates to react.
  10. Thats what i wanna see from a teammate....standing up for Virtanen - Benn!
  11. I got a good feeling tonight..... peteys line will find eachother more and more and confidence will grow as they continute to produce chances and with that some goals. Miller with 3 assists, petey with a goaland 2 assists, boeser with a goal and an assist. i predict a 5-2 win....empty net goal by Gaud............
  12. cant say much after 3 games really. Petey puts a lot of pressure on himself more then his surroundings so of course that puts him under pressure. He will deal with it and like mentioned hes got a lot of attention since everyone now recognizes him as the major threat to lock down. no matter if this season turns mediocre or not he will still develop and once he takes that next step and figures it out he will become almost scary good. For now i simply enjoy watching those little things he does on the ice and hope his line will be creative and produce a lot of chances.
  13. A breakthrough year for gaud maybe? wouldnt mind if that becomes a reality.... 3 lines with potential to score aint exactly bad
  14. Pearson-Bo-Leivo is a great 2nd line. Pearson the finisher, leivo the creator and Bo as the allrounder and puckwinner. That line has potential to rack up some points.
  15. yup..hes supposed to be a defensive player right? considering he now has gaud, ferland, virtanen, leivo, pearson as options to play with on the 3rd line u betcha ur gonna see more chances there also. this years roster is a definite upgrade from last year.
  16. Ferland hasnt clicked in yeat but he will be most certainly needed against heavy oposition. thats when he will shine. He is one of the most useful players in his area and should/could alternate between the 1st 2nd and 3rd line pendin on what ur after. I like him a lot. Powerful physical player.
  17. I just wanted to repeat what i already mentioned...he has kept his play at a high level and imo Leivo is better then both Pearson and Ferland so far. Keep Leivo on the 2nd line and let ferland alternate between the first 2nd and 3rd line pending on the way u want that line to "behave". But im sold on leivo and miller as wingers so far....top notch.
  18. 4 points against the Kings....this guy will have the most points of the team at the end of the season if he keeps playing this good.....
  19. So the terribly exciting feature on all those options for who will be captain. im guessing its between 1.Bo 2. Horvat and 3.Bo Horvat.... Other then that its definetly time for a win. When i first heard miller was on the team i immediatly thought he would be with petey and brock and now its finally true. The thing for me is that Ferland is an option to use when the oposition is playing the right kind of oposition so u can choose between miller and Ferland for a different elemt to that line. My expectation on the game is a solid 4-2 win, 3 goals by peteys line, brock 1 Petey 2 where one is on the PP and the last goal is from The newly appointed Captain Bo. Cheers!
  20. Miller-Petey-Brock....sounds interesting..... https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1180925645397741568?s=20
  21. well he did f**k it up with the pass that lindholm scored on but other then that he still looks good to me. Many have done that type of pass before he just got unlucky it didnt work with that type of risky play. The whole team has been struggling these first 2 games tbh......Myers and miller has been good imo. Still need to see if peteys line can find chemistry and create some pressure in the offensive zone.
  22. Well that sucked. What worries me, well ok so 2 games is not much but based on that.....Theres a clear lack in creativity. Not sure why, but theres no real pressure against the opositions net and that has me worried more then anything else. but ok...still early, but u need to find ways to generate chances and its just not clickingg right now.
  23. uh.....i dont think Eriksson will be a scratch. None the less, if the 3rd line is Leivo-gaud-Virtanen im really excited to see how they do. Got a feeling Petey will do something good tonight....hes been good against the lames many times before. Im hoping to see some creative plays from the first line, to get that going will mean a lot. 2nd line with bo is always threat, especially with miller there. hoping for a 4-2 win....go nucks!
  24. looked solid to me in 1st game. Im guessing hes just gonna improve as the season progresses, but a solid D imo.
  25. Am i the only one that would like to see Leivo-Gaudette-Virtanen as the 3rd line next game?
