Marchand for whatever reason always gets a pass. lil slap here small fine there he is the DOPS poster boy.J Williams gets 20 games for the same hit Marchand would have gotten a parade

The difference for me is this season we're gonna lose anyway so may as well strike fear in the hearts of those who come to play us. I don't care if we lose its how we lose and I want to see a team nobody wants to play against. No easy W's here contenders are gonna pay on the board or on the boards when they come to play the Canucks.

Ok it's just an opinion man. I see a lot of similarities in their game I see a small speedy guy who is a great puck mover but will have a tough time in the NHL running up the gut the way he does now. he doesn't play through coverage as well as Quinn he plays around it. I have no doubt he will be a good player top 50 scorer likely I am just not sold on the idea of Jack and Pettersson as a one 2 punch down the middle in the west and competing in the playoffs. Ill take me some Dach, Kakko, Cousins

I have said it before and Ill say it again. Jack Hughes is over hyped reminds me of RNH who don't get me wrong is a good player Buuuuuut this team really doesn't need RNH style player. In this one scenario, I am hoping JB doesn't land 1st oa so he doesn't have to make that choice. Give me one of Dach/Kakko/Cousins please.

I would love to bring Burr back in a coaching capacity one day down the line he didn't just play a full 60 he played the whole game whether he was on the bench or lining up for a faceoff he was always giving something on or off the ice before and after every whistle.

TKs @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Interesting tid bit. Odd to me how everyone is clamoring to ditch Goldy but penciling Dahlen into their lineups. I hope the Canucks give both a good long look this season. with favorable deployment.

Though I do agree with much of what you have said. I think you have been unfairly harsh in your assessment of him. He was undeniably in my eye one of the top 4 D's on the Canucks if not top 3 when he was here. He was definitely out of shape and that needed to improve. he's a monster of a fella so short shifts will be key for him. I'm not overly sour that he left the Kid came over at 21 hardly spoke a lick of English, was shown Pronger tape and asked to emulate that douch bag, was told to protect everyone and likely felt incredibly unappreciated. I would imagine his experience with the Canucks and in NA wasn't an enjoyable one. He went back home where he felt more comfortable nothing to dislike there He was a kid in a foreign country filled with blue meanies. When he is 25 maybe he will see things differently and want to try a comeback. I don't think for a second that if or when he does come back that he will have regressed so far that he won't be a NHL caliber player. Honestly I don't think the Canucks did enough to help him transition to NA also I don't know that even if they did it would have helped. How would you feel as a 21yo if you moved to Russia to play hockey had no mentorship or anyone to talk to then constantly told you weren't good enough and asked to emulate Drago. I know I'd prob want to move back to Canada.

Big Dorsett fan here but lets not kidd ourselves . Dorsett got beat down constantly or hung on for dear life. He certainly never scared anyone. It was his ferocity and fearlessness that made him a favorite of mine.

Yes I do. The wings are full of guys who excel at winning pucks along the boards Pete and Hughes will play mostly in open ice where they make defenders especially truculent ones look like pilons.

Gallant had 4X 2nd lines.

I think in this particular case Hughes size wont be an issue. Hughes plays through coverage doesn't avoid it. Its harder to hit a guy coming at you than it is to hit a guy trying to slip you. He might get stuffed at the blue line but mostly by the forearm shiver and stick checks than thunderous emulsification along the boards.

What do you want as the Canucks alternate/third jersey?

Thanks for posting this. I'm curious if Elias P could start the season in the AHL with Dahlen? I believe it's either the NHL or Michigan for Hughes? Is Manukyan eligible for the "A" he's 20 bring the sprite over? -
I don't think there is a D on our team right now who isn't looking over their shoulder.
