Ossi Vaananen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Was ebbett given anytime on the powerplay? If not i'm wondering if he will be given that opportunity tomorrow. No, Ebbett wasn't given a shot. He was more utilized as a PK'er. I'm thinking that 2nd line spot is Schroeder's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 PP units were a focus today at camp. 1st unit had Hansen with the Sedins and Elder/Garrison on the point. 2nd unit had Higgins with Schroeder and Burrows, with Bieksa and Hamhuis on the point. Looks like Schroeder is getting his shot! Good. Schroeder's playmaking abilities are likely to shine through on the powerplay. How did the first powerplay unit look?

From what I heard the Sedins didn't really try for much of the game. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks-4-Life Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Why isn't Kassian being used on the 1st unit in front of the net?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Why isn't Kassian being used on the 1st unit in front of the net?? Makes too much sense for AV to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bite me Burr Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I guess he will get his chance to make an impact in a top 6 role with 2 of these players being injured. We will see what he offers to the team once the season gets rolling and everybody is caught up in conditioning. I'm excited, but realistic here.

Nucks-4-Life Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Was not impressed with Schroeder. Couldn't make a play to save his life. Ebbet look so much more poised and experienced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're clearly trolling. Schroeder had 2 assists tonight while Ebbett couldn't make a play to save his life. Schroeder looked fast and read plays well all night. Even in his own zone, Schroeder wasn't a liability. Some beautiful tape to tape passes from Schroeder, that one in particular with Raymond going to the net is like threading the needle.

Psycho_Path Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 While Schroeder was better, Ebbet definitely wasn't that bad. He made a real nice pass from behind the net out front to Gordon who shot it into Luongo's chest. That Raymond Schroeder Kassian line sure looked good, aside from Kassian making a few bad plays.

Nucks-4-Life Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 OK guys, I re-watched the highlights. I was clearly smoking something very strong last night. Schroeder made some friggin' sweet passes. Could have had another assist on that bang-bang play where Raymond missed the net. That was a beautiful play btw. I'm loving the chemistry on that line. Having Kassian floating around gives the defending team always something to worry about. As long as he drives to the net and creates havoc they will put up points. Any since when did Raymond become better than average?? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 My only bark against Schroeder was his lack of success in the faceoff dot in the past two intersquad games. I know facing the likes of Manny Malhotra (one of the best faceoff players in the NHL) and Henrik Sedin (Elite center in the NHL) but cmon. Schroeder even lost to Anton Rodin several times who isn't even a natural center. Schroeder will need to work on that cause if he is going to be taking draws on the second line we need to count on him to win those. Often I saw him lose one in the offensive zone where I assume he will be taking them, he lost the posession too many times. If you watch that line didn't usually sustain offensive pressure but had to gain control in their own end first. I love Schroeder, he had a very good offensive game yesterday and really showed some promise, but he needs to work on the faceoffs if he expects to hang around. But something he has an edge over many is that he has great vision, and ability to place the puck on players sticks. His saucer passes are ridiculous.

He actually beat Manny a few times in last nights game, I think. You're right though, his faceoff ability needs work. Maybe if he's up all season Manny can work on it with him.
