[Gutsy effort tonight and Boeser/Miller looked good but really impressed me was the kid Jonah]

Gadovich he went looking for Calgary dman after a cheap shot on Hughes and he was all go!   What a difference from a washed up Rouselle who is all bark and little go now.

 

   And as much as I had been lookin forward to Zack Mackewan in the lineup most of the season and was hoping Green would start him more when injuries were not so prevalent ,this kid has much more upside. He has shown a real goal scoring talent in Utica with 15 goals in less games but he is tough and willing to initiate and we need this type of player to be a regular in the lineup.

   Lets do something right nuck management and keep him off the exposure draft wire to the Seattle Kracken pls

[Power play biggest need to correct next yr!]

typo meant to say clones in similarity to Beagle and Highmore no offensive upside but penalty kill /faceoff 4th line type

[Power play biggest need to correct next yr!]

Newell Browns special teams are anything but, while clearly a healthy Elias would improve the pp,it was struggling with him dating back to last yr when the score was 0 to 0 against the Golden Knights when Reeves took a cheap shot on Mott and we couldn't score 5on 3 and they went on to score 1st late.

  

   Bo can not seem to win the draw enough and we lose possesion and down the ice immideatly it goes along with 20seconds and its dis jointing. They should try Miller to take the draw and put Nils on 1st unit instead of Tanner for more speed and creativity.  And this Rathbone lid looks like he may be another Hughes a dandy .

 But come Seattle time to pick hope they do not take Myers think he has been pretty good and consistent this yr, but Schmidt I can see why Vegas let him go ,he is not that good.

  Graovic looks like he deserves a shot next yr with goals in back to back games would be an upgrade in 4th line to Roussel and Beagle,lol always got to throw down on that

 

   Props to the effort tonight the boys worked hard but clearly Mikaelis does not have anything to offer and they can not go with Highmore and Beagle next yr they are clowns

[Finally dawned on me why we let Gaudette go for so little in return]

Man these TT takes are getting absurd. 

Let's look at things rationally.

TT was traded for with the expectation the cap was going by 5-8 million so right there anything that happened after is kind of moot. But let's say we signed him, before this season he had one season with 30 goals, his average is around 23, this season is a complete one off and going forward we have younger better options for the top six.

As for all the bottom six signed or claimed they won't be back next season and have no impact on the teams structure going forward.

Rooster gets crapped on but odd how we seem to perform better with him in the lineup but hey that doesn't matter only cap space right?

Beagle is done but refer to the above.

Gaudette is a tweener who sucks at defense and regressed a lot this season but just like any one Benning moves he's the 2nd coming of Christ the minute he's moved according to Benning haters.

Next season when we have Nate and TT is back to what he is a lot of crow will be on the menu.

Tyler wasnt traded he left as an unrestricted free agent, if you want to rebutt get your facts on

[Finally dawned on me why we let Gaudette go for so little in return]

It was best during the Pat Quinn era

 

[Finally dawned on me why we let Gaudette go for so little in return]

because Benning and Green let it out during the covid stoppage he was the 1st guy to be into covid quarantine. And maybe was the scapegoat as to majority of team getting sick? 

 Why else do you take Matthew Highmore in return who has zero goals in 30 games this yr?

But lets add this list Beagle/Rouselle/Vessy/Micalief/Boyd/Highmore/Sutter/Hawrluk as wonderul failed Benning additions whose combined goal total doesnt equate 1/3rd likely that of Tyler Toffoli whom he refused to resign and likely main reason why the habs are going to the post season instead of us.

 And another key reason why the pp percentage stinks and why in the absence of Elias we really needed the scoring expoits of Toffoli

 

    But at least we get to take a look at Gadovich as he may turn out to be better used than Mackewan when Green has fairly healthy lineup.    Just can not stand another season of Beagle and Anton Rouselle    and revolving waiver wire guys named above  if we are going to improve the bottom half of ineffective forward group next yr.

 

   Wish some deep pocket investor would come and buy Aqulini out,and clean house of Benning/Green

[[Report] Canucks recall Jonah Gadjovich]

as kid is red hot scoring 15goals in Utica and he is tough and drops the gloves. Cole Lind has shown promise and the playoff hunt is all but over now with habs winning 2 straight to go 14pts up.

  The goaltending has been excellent but again this team just can not score and Bennings cheap pick ups are useless Vessey/Boyd/ and Highmore could play 50 games and not score but still Green plays him minutes like he is a top forward,well guess given the injuries and now Virtanens situation there is no 1 else to put there

  

  I feel for Miller/Horvat/Myers/Edler 4 top end guys who give it there all every night but to no avail this season anyways

And a better update on Elias would be nice

 Theres always next yr 

 

  

[Tyler Toffoli not gettin resigned by Benning]

should be Bennings kiss of death

[All these bottom waiver wire pickups]

produce nothing. This team just can not score,the few top forwards tired/taxed and seems Elias is not going to be back to boost the offense

 

  Pretty sad when Green needs to play Matthew Highmore so much when he has not scored 1 goal this yr,Jimmy Vessy is a bust and Travis Boyd not enough playing time to tell yet

The effort was there ,Holtby was great but this team just does not have enough quality forwards,thats on Benning

  Habs back up 10 pts,think this was the dagger losing to the sens

 

[Should Demko stay healthy and properly signed]

Luongo was the main reason we didn't win the cup against Boston

 He melted down all 3 games in beantown, fact not fiction!

[Should Demko stay healthy and properly signed]

He will go down as the greatest Canuck goalie. And I saw king Richard,and Captain Kirk,and a young Scneider and to me all 3 were better than Luongo who gave up too many soft goals during the playoff yrs

  But this kid Demko is freakin cool/calm/unfazed and he is a stone cold equalizer for a team thats hardpressed to get enough shots on goal and score

[[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | March 13, 2021 | 7 p.m. PT | SNP, CBC, NHLN, TVAS2]

Demko another stellar performance,he kept us in when Oilers outshot us in 1st period lg.  With him this team isnt that far off from been much better.

 

  Need secondary scoring and more team toughness,again we won and did it without Roussel  and Beagle. 1 guy takes bad penalties and intimidates nobody,the other doesnt get the puck out of our zone on the pk nearly enough and both offer nil offensively

Zack should be dressing everynight esp when we play the flames/jets/and yes senators they are a chippy but tough team.

  Hope Pettie and Mott come back soon and Green gets it thru his predictable stubborn head getting outshot everynight is not a remedy to success neither is dressing Mikaelis/Roussel/Beagle and Tanner is not producing nearly enough for his top6 iceteam

  Still they got 2 points in regulation without 2 top forwards,well done esp Demko!

[[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | March 13, 2021 | 7 p.m. PT | SNP, CBC, NHLN, TVAS2]

Heard Roussel and Beagle may not be in lineup,hurray!  At least dress Zack and see a young tough physical presence in the lineup who should be there on a nightly basis if Green deployed properly

  Demko is the best player in the franchise now,main reason we have won any games at all lately

[Team wasnt ready from the get go!]

Green refuses to use a timeout when we got blitzed and Demko stood on his head to keep it 1-0 in 1st

 Green's player deployment is absolutely horrible, Mikaelis and Hawrluk are not nhl ready, Beagle and Roussel are past their better days and 4/12 forward spots wasted by these 4 guys with zero offensive upside and zero physical factors

  We got some gems in Miller/Demko/Pettie/Boeser/Hughes/Horvat/Myers/Edler  but the bottom side of the roster horrible

Look am a bigtime fan but Benning left the bottom 6 with not much depth,Pearson offers little, bring up Cole Lind lets see what he can do, and hopefully Green doesnt get signed beyond this yr his team is soft and his deployment terrible, he needs to go asap

[[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs Montreal Canadiens | March 10, 2021 | 8 p.m. PT | SNP, RDS]

Sure hope Green isnt dressing midget Marc Mikealis again he has shown nothing to date, dress Zack instead

[Newell Brown wtf]

That 5 on 3 powerplay missed opp,just sickening

They were moving like 5 old ladies out there,too freakin slow and no flow whatesoever. Newell Brown has had way to many chances to right this stagnant and predictable pp, Aqulini do the city a favour clean house. Send Benning packing,he of the term deals to Lui.Beagle/Roussel, can Green his player deployment horrible,can Brown special teams nightmare

Poor Demko has to stand on his head for this team to have any chance to w…

Benning used to wasting monies on Erikson/Beagle/Roussel, should actually buck up and pay for Henrique from waiver wire with Ducks at leaset he can score 26goals last yr.

  Sutter/Mott keepers on bottom6 but so should Zack and even Virtanen over Roussel/Gaudette

[[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks vs. Winnipeg Jets | February 21, 2021 | 7 p.m. PT | SNP NHLN]

Much respect to Zack Mackewan for answering the bell and clearly beating the jet dman who bullied Hoglander!   He has earned a legit shot to dress and play the 4th line much more than Travis has played him.

  Gaudettes a failed experiment ,can not win a draw,can not hit an ocean to score and he and Rouselle wasting roster spots on a nightly basis.

 Holtby looked subpar on winning ot/ and Sheiffle goal had Demko been in net sadly we likely took 2 points tonight after starting 2-0

 

  

[Green needs to go!]

1st time poster,and just had to post my frustrations.    Travis Green's player deployment has been a major to our losing streak and poor play

 

   He insists on giving too much icetime and dressing Beagle and Roussel,both over paid and contribute nothing. Beagle is too damn passive on the penalty kill,.hardly ever attacks to get the puck down the ice and offers nothin offensively. Roussel intimidates nobody,takes too many bad penalties and another guy who can not put up points or a good physical presence.

 

   Green seems to dislike the young big forwards like Zack Mackewen, Jake Virtanen and he starts Holtby game1 and last 2 when Demko is supposedly the go to guy and future number1

Last night we were unfortunate to be tied after 2 periods after outplaying Leafs who took us for granted. But Green started the team off defensively as John Garret correctly said on tv and sure enough a lost faceoff on 5 on 5 play by Beagle and then a shot between Holtbys legs and game over ffs

   Fire Green, at least I want to see young players like Zack who will doleout body checks and drop the gloves when opposition takes cheap shots on us.  Play Demko, and sit Beagle/Roussel/ and never dress Erickson again
