They don't need to be thrown to the wolves right away. It's okay to take a year or two to adjust to the league/pace. We need to simmer down here.

DeNiro Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Of course Vey would score the winner. How fitting. I liked the effort tonight other than the typical D zone brain farts. I guess we should take the wins however we can get them right now, but man some of the personnel choices are still bugging me. Higgins out in the final minute of the game. Playing the trap in 3 on 3 trying to defend again. And going with Higgins and Daniel in the shootout over McCann and Bo were head scratchers. I'll take the positives out of this game though which was Baertschi finding his game, Horvat playing like a beast, and Vrbata and McCann bumping the slump. Miller played great too other than the tying goal. I thought Hutton and Biega played solid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more Weber, Higgins, and (sorry posters) Burrows. Poor Burrows...he still tries hard but just doesn't have it. Seeing the kids in the line up it is easier to see how our vets have lost speed and struggle to keep up. I can stomach Alex because of his effort and passion, Higgins makes me scream with his casual, lazy fly bys. How can a guy who is basically a third line player survive in this league without ever playing the body or going to the hard areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Would Scotty Bowman have rewarded a floater like Higgins with a chance in the shootout? Nope, he would have jnailed his butt to the bench. Willie needs to be shipped out on the same bus as Higgins....throw Weber in the luggage compartment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need him crashing and banging out there. GREAT game for the kids!! I thought once they decided to keep him beyond the 9 games to start that they had to keep him in the NHL. He is too young to go to the Comets and I believe it isn't possible to now send him to juniors ... They can if the Canucks don't make the play offs and his junior team is still playing.

theminister Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Waiting for the "Has Henrik been holding us back?" thread. Seriously...the guy is our weak link. The evidence is in. Conclusive.

Tonight looked like they just went out and played. They didn't seem scared to dictate the game which I believe has been their big hang up. They are thinking too much and tonight they let it go and we got the W. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, fearless hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will all depend on how they play over the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be sent to juniors at any time but if he sticks beyond the 40 game mark (on the roster not played) then he burns a year of his contract. You are correct he cannot go to Utica.

Quote Based on Pedan thread, he doesn't have the foot speed to play at this level. He was getting undressed by guys with NHL going wide on him in Utica. I'm sure Willie can see this in practice, which is why they have an exposed him in a game. My guess is that he's only here in a dire emergency otherwise, he's not seeing NHL ice on D this season. Either he needs to improve his foot speed or his angles or he's going to be trade bait in the offseason. You don't think it's strange that the first defenseman that came up from Utica was a 27 year old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
