MikeyBoy44 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would be fine with Baerschi sitting a game or so in order to display Virtanen's skills. I don't think Baer has been much of a factor out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would be fine with Baerschi sitting a game or so in order to display Virtanen's skills. I don't think Baer has been much of a factor out there. I thought he had a decent game actually. He does need to work on a few things for sure, but overall he played alright.

70seven Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I still really get the feeling like its McCann thats on the hot seat once Higgins returns. he NEEDS to keep up his play and continue to find ways to get on the score sheet. Vrbata doesnt really seem to fit that line right now. Id like to see the kid line again and give Vrbata what he really wants, to play with the twins. (Which is the reason why he signed here). Once Higgy is healthy, Id like to see this lineup.

hlinkas wrister Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 3 points out of 4, I'll take it. The team is playing way too soft though- dare I say "oilerish" ? They lost every puck battle in the third and if they take that M.O. down to SoCal they are going to get rag-dolled. And Hutton just keeps on impressing, god that kid is a player.

Spoosh Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Too bad we let it get away from us in the third. Nice chances in OT by Daniel and Hutton. I felt like we would lose after we didn't get it in there. Excited about 3 on 3 tho. Lots of room to make pretty plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Love the "19 year old" Jared McCann (twice). Sam who? A good game and when Calgary had a do or die energy and pushed back it could have gone either way. What I did like was that our guys didn't run around, "chasing" them and stayed the course and fairly sound positionally. Fun that an old rivalry is being revived. These points are so important, so glad we managed to grab most of them in the back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuardian_ Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Clearly Baertschi is a perimeter player and while his passing is not bad, even NHL calibre, his "presence" in the game is lacking. If Virtanen replaced anyone, it should be him. Or at game 10 do the posters start saying "gifted" if he continues at his present pace? It is still way early yet.

TheCammer Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Best Canuck last night was Miller. Game would have been a bloodbath without him. Way too many passengers last night. When did this become a non-hitting league? Still a pretty entertaining game and Hutton appears to be the real deal as well. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 If Sutter even chips the puck we probably win If they played better in the third, it wouldn't have mattered. I find it hard to blame a single play(er) like that when there was 20-25 minutes of suckage before-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerox Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Defence pairing should have been: Hamhuis (Defence) - Weber (Offense) Bartkowski (Offense) - Tanev (Defence) Hutton (Offense) - Sbisa (?) It should have been 1 good Dman pairing with a bad Dman... Instead we get Sbisa and Weber together on PK....who is the defence pairing coordinator?

Quoted Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 If anything the vets showed why we need youth tonight. Veterans making rookie plays all night. Willie needs to review some video with these guys. Blown coverage all night long. They're better than that. Hopefully just early-season syndrome but yes, they should know better on a couple of those at least. Calgary definietly wanted to puck more in the third.

That makes sense until you concider the fact that matchups and ice time are not the same for all lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerox Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 That makes sense until you concider the fact that matchups and ice time are not the same for all lines. Good point, but a balanced defence should be able to counter various situations. That Hamhuis & Bartkowski pairing caused the 2nd goal because both are left handed defenceman trying to cover the same point, then ran into each other realizing they left a forward open. Management should be looking for a right handed shutdown defenceman in a trade, since we have like 3 left handed puck-moving defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFrame14 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Suter was terrible on the play and miller blew that... To be fair it looked like Sutter had strippes johnny hockey of the puck and almost send Daniel in alone. Wideman made a beauty play to keep it in. I wouldn't blame that one on Sutter, its 3 on 3. If its not an odd man rush one way it is the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
