[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Philadelphia Flyers | Oct. 15, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Its early so everyone needs to be patient for a bit. Millers line may be the slowest in the nhl,, there is skill on the team but not enough speed and heavy lifters.. d needs addressing as well but meyers will help. -
I wonder what their even strength stats are and how they compare?

[PGT] Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks | Mar. 19, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
This team has done some great things over the past two or three months,, gotten a lot out of this group.. hopefully people realize there are some shortcomings with dynamic qualities and speed but what they have accomplished after the start is amazing. As we get closer to the end of the season so much energy has been used up to just get back in the race there will be another fall off in performance.. they have had a rough couple of games,, so what! All teams do. Hopefully we make changes to fill some needs and will be better in a couple of years,, i have enjoyed immensely the last few months of hockey. They have fought their guts out with what they have! -

So many people who have never been in a locker room who think they know how it works! -

Whether you call the team soft because of no push back, or no heart hopefully we can make some good adjustments and add a few players who have both.. really hard watching them play physical teams.. can never remember horvat standing up for anybody or using any emotion on the bench to get his team going. Nice player sometimes but not C level. Not one player on this team scares anybody with either size or speed,, they have a little skill but too many fringe players who play the same role.. trading for younger, bigger cheaper players or draft picks is always a crap shoot. We all think trading miller or boeser or whomever will net us gains. Fact is it may backfire and net us nothing.. -
[PGT] New York Islanders at Vancouver Canucks | Feb. 09, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Said many times,, this team has some skill and when not pushed around can play quite nicely. Aside from miller there are no vocal leaders on the ice. Horvat while a decent player i dont feel is the leader we envision him to be. What player scares opposing teams with speed? We are a very slow soft team with some skill, but really,, all teams have skill.. other then goaltending what is our edge?? -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Nashville Predators | Feb. 01, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Team is very slow and very soft,, some skill yes but it will be interesting to see what changes are made. Love a couple of power forwards or players who actually play big and another puck mover. Should be fun -

Small and being pushed around. Thus changes. Hopefully a big finish -

Welcome to an intense game! Can we play this way if needed? -
I hope we pick him up,, had kind of a cult following in tampa because nobody could figure out why he didnt play more. Granted hard line up to crack. Played well enough for oilers to re sign him last year,, new gm though. Watched him a ton as tampa is my sons favorite team. Worth the chance if we have the cap
-
Great pick up for the money,, has size and speed,, watched him for three years. Dont know why it didnt work in edmonton. Fans loved him last year.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames | Jan. 29, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Its just one poor game,, team is playing much better and usually fun to watch. We do have some high priced average players and generally are a slow team. Let the gm have his chance to get the team faster and probably a little bigger. Not winning anything with this lineup but at least on most nights the effort is there! -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
cocanuck replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I would hate to see Miller go but given his age and the package The Nucks would receive it makes the most sense. If Rangers, I could see Schneider and third liner and a second, or perhaps, Kappo, Miller and a 2nd. I highly doubt it is Schneider, and a first coming back. You never know though -

Petey with some puck luck finally, the team is really fun to watch play right now. They work hard and don't sit back and let the other team dictate. I love the style -
[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Carolina Hurricanes | Jan. 15, 2022
cocanuck replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
The team is playing well. Puck not going in and demko wasnt great for a change.. have to be patient and ride out the losses. The team is competitive now and playing quite an enjoyable brand of hockey. Lets hold off on trading ep shall we?? For petes sake its just a rough patch. -
Petey isnt quite there physically yet but even when he does get there, he doesnt play with the same linemates.. do you really think garland and pods are on the same level as boeser and miller? He needs players who see the ice like he does.. he wont dominate with puck possession.. garland is very inconsistent with this.. petey was in perfect position to receive passes in 2 on 1 situations last game but both players shot instead.. his shot is a little off but his play i feel has been quite good lately.. numbers will come but will never be a point a game player with his current linemates this year.. pods needs more time, garland isnt ideal for him
