  1. Horvat speaks with his play, truth. But I think a lot of guys on this edition of the Canucks have been speaking loud with their play. Heck, I even have to acknowledge Fantenberg tonite - great heavy physical game - especially in the absence of Myers.
  2. I guess he will have to EARN more. Which forward’s ice time should he be taking?
  3. Hughes and Horvat overcome the referees. But we may be missing a D for the next game. They will target Tanev next.
  4. Yep. This is the guy who thinks he should have got Petey’s outstanding rookie award. Feeling sorry for yourself just never works out. Just look at Boeser, clearly had the rookie award in the bag till he gets hurt, did he whine about it? Not a peep. Class. Petey was asked about Bennington? He’s a really good goalie who had a great year, or words to that effect. Class. Bennington, spends his time whining - not a good look. Too bad you let your team down, Binnington, though you do get to go home and polish your last year’s ring, still this is this year.
  5. Boeser is an excellent fit when fit - with Pettersson and Miller. Podkolzin will be an excellent fit with Horvat, his intelligent two way game perfectly suited to a strong second line - especially with either of MacEwen or Hoglander or occasionally Virtanen.
  6. I think we will see Virtanen and Big Mac for a big meal deal with a shake, rattle and roll.
  7. It’s the playoffs; players get hurt unfortunately. Fortunately, we have Jake and MacEwan. Remember when our depth was Chaput and Megna?
  8. Markstrom outplays Wild goalie for the win. Wild may play a calmer goalie in the next one; but Markstrom will again make his mark...
  9. He is a bit of a big beast when he does that. Stetcher was a little beast tonight - I liked his cross checks to the Wild’s knees.
  10. Nope. In Utica, Comets D, when available: LD. RD Juolevi. Chatfield Brisebois. Rafferty Teves. Sautner Eliot they often mixed in an older veteran D: Blujus RD, Leblanc LD
  11. Chatfield is pretty much exclusively a right D. Brisbois a left D and Sautner either side. Our most advanced rd prospect right now is Rafferty - or Tryamkin who also plays either side.
  12. Average age in the study was 49. Not many NHLers playing at age 49. No control for overall cardio fitness to begin with. If you are more fit do you resist the disease (and cardio) damage more successfully. In addition, there was no control for people having heart anomalies (or not) prior to infection. Did covid cause the damage or did these people already have anomalies and were therefor more susceptible to damage. The studies are a long way from being definitive on anything.
  13. The other guy faced more difficult shots because Markstrom hasn’t faced any.
  14. Easy. The other guy has let in ZERO, Markstrom let in TWO. How is that not being outplayed? The first goal was a floater from the blue line. If you want to make the big money, you have to make the big saves - especially, you have to not give up a soft first goal in a playoff game against a tight checking team.
  15. Really? Huh, the other guy is outplaying him - facing more shots and more difficult shots.
  16. Not abysmally so tonight, I’m used to serious ref bias, not this piddling stuff. We’d have to be playing much better than we are for the referees to get serious about screwing us over royally. Right now, our poor play is good prep for being screwed over somehow in the draft. We could be the worst team in this qualifier and somehow Bettman would invent some additional Luongo contract like penalty to take the pick away. Not that I’m paranoid or anything, but just look at that name - Bet-man...
  17. They are not the problem. Sutter should pivot on the third line, Gaudette should move to the RW, Ferguson to LW. Rousell with Beagle and a Motte. Best shift for the first line was that half shifty with a Boeser on it- make that adjustment. Stetcher is out of his weight class at this level, Fantenberg is invisible - might as well play Julolevi now that he is healthy. And Markstrom HAS to make saves on the crap that went it - the guy on the other end is.
  18. Yep, we could send him to the Vatican to scout for a wing and a prayer - we’ll need them to survive cap hell.
  19. That is good news, maybe we can finally get to see the best that this kid has to offer.
