    Does LE retire if buried in minors?

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    Loui has been given every opportunity to play all through the line up. he's played with Petey to start, Bo, 3rd line and the 4th line.

     

    He's a decent defensive forward and not bad on the PK, but as every year passes he has a harder time keeping up with the speed of the game in all areas.

    its not his fault he signed a 6x6 contract, but he doesn't deserve special treatment anymore. 

     

    If his play doesn't deserve 13th forward , then off to Utica/ Canada AHL bubble wherever it may be.

     

    Right now our bottom 7 would be

    Sutts, Gauds, Rooster

    Mac- motte- Beagle

    Eriksson, 

     

    this is assuming Jake stays and plays a top 6 role.

     

    if Ferland is healthy or he is outplayed by LInd, Baer, hoglander or a surprise candidate he needs to be ridin the bus outa here!

    GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!

    Exactly.

    this team has gone way beyond what anyone expected! Not saying I'm throwing in the cards as we are frigging resilient as we've shown already. 

    Also Green has made some remarkable decisions on lines, strategy, and motivating this very young squad of impressive talent. I don't think Petey or Huggy would be doing this well if it wasn't for their Coach's calm measured support right now.

    I have a really good feeling about Demko and the clash tonight. They may win they may lose but expecting a very good game from the boys!

    Would like to see Chatfield in for Benn.

    Benn may have the edge on strength and experience but the 3rd pairing in being exposed with Vegas speed more then anything.

    Chatfield has speed and a high compete level and has the right shot advantage.

     

    Putting Jake in the top six and expecting his best performance of the series is needed for game 4.

    If that moves Brock down to the third so be it.

    Can't see Green making any changes in game 3. Gauds, while not the physical player that Big Mac is, has a higher skills set and is pretty tenacious on the fore check

    This is our MO as a team. Our speed, skill and pressure literally shut Vegas down for 2 of the 3 periods.

    This is what we need to focus on.

    Let Reaves run around while we're getting scoring opportunities. Rooster was still playing his speed and pressure game when he's on the ice

    Rooster played 6:32 and Reaves 8:20 so its a waste of energy for us to focus on that little game within the game.

     

    More importantly we still need to find ways to break up their sustained pressure like they had in the 2nd. Hoping Myers gets back in sooner then later to use that 14' reach to break up plays as Benn is a concern out there at times. No issues with the rest of the D

    You see what's happening around the league with teams *cough Leafs* *cough* Panthers that have 10+ million tied up in players and it just skews the team's cap so much. Players may start to realize that by leaving 1-2-3 million on the table, it will lead to a more competitive team. I mean...that's the approach that's happened in Vancouver with Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Luongo - there is a legacy here of that. If Hughes and Pettersson sign deals of 5-6-7 years 7-8 million each, that leaves more than enough for another huge deal mid-career.

    This

     

    Signing a relatively short term deals so we can get through the Luongo, and Eriksson contracts in particular.

    Also now that we have made our statement to the league, we also wont have to over pay players or extended longer contracts as we did with Sutter, Beagle, Rooster, Ferland etc..

    Canucks - Vegas stats through first 2 rounds

     

    GF- Vegas -3rd - Canucks - 5th

    GA- Vegas -16th- Canucks 18th

    PP- Canucks 6th - Vegas 9th

    PK- Vegas 7th - Canucks 15th

    FOW- Canucks 8th - Vegas 19th

    Save % Canucks 3rd - Vegas 8th

     

    Keeping in mind Vegas played Chicago vs St Louis....

    They have the balanced attack , but by the last 2 games with our bottom 6 confident as well it will be a battle.

    Aces? Marky , Huggy, Petey!

    Sure would like to see Gaudette get some playing time over Jake right now.

    Gauds was a clutch scorer doing the reg season and adds a better threat to our bottom 6 which is needed desperately.

     

    JV hasn't really shown what he's capable of in his games played so far, maybe the pressure game is not for him.

    Here's hoping he uses that speed and heavy game tonight that he was drafted for..
