TNucks1 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 i thought he played decent last game, his preseason games were underwhelming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Granlund has shown a lot since Van acquired him. He can be a 20 goal man in the right situation. Has shown he can play on the d-side of the puck as well. I amvery comfortable with him in the line up. He is a legit 3rd line player on this roster. In a year or two he could be eclipsed by younger talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I'm eager to see if Granny can prove me wrong. I had him as out of the lineup this year, but his defense looked outstanding in our last game. He may yet have a good comeback year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be accomplishing this goal nicely so far. I'm not sure if he's been on the ice for any even strength goals against so far. His +/- is a bit pumped up by the EN goals he's on the ice for, but he gets those because he's a reliable player who can create turnovers and reduce chances against the Canucks. With the exception of one game, our PK has been pretty good so far - and the way the refs are calling things, we need it desperately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Granny has been making a comeback on the Canucks showing more than ever how strong he is defensively. He's making me look foolish for booking him as a regular healthy scratch this year prior to the season's start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Not expecting Granlund to put up meaningful numbers. I mainly see him as an effective checking forward. It was how he was utilized last year and it'll probably be how he is utilized this year. I don't mind. Cheap effective bottom 6 guy. He has a place here.

Boudrias Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Granlund is an excellent bottom 6 player as he can move up and down the lineup as needed. He can PK and has excellent speed. Always a break away threat. I do think he will be traded at some point as the prospects mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I think when he put up 19 goals, he created higher expectations than he could handle. He's definately underrated now and it's nice to see him getting appreciated for what he actually brings in a bottom 6 role rather than what was probably an abnormal season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 With potentially both Pettersson with a possible concussion and Beagle with a broken hand, I hope to see Granny at centre. Has shown to be very responsible and looked like he got better in the draws during preseason. Gunna rely heavily on him to help bring that two way presence and offense now that two our our key centres are hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Granlund will definitely be seeing more action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Today was all about Virtanen and Gaunce but Granund slid into 142nd today. Next to an interesting comparable stat wise. 141. Kyle Wellwood C 149 32 20 52 142. Markus Granlund C 151 31 21 52 143. Dave Capuano C 88 16 36 52 144. Ben Hutton D 219 8 44 52 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive given that Granlund has done it playing a decidedly better 2 way game and in a far more defensive role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Markus continually impresses me with his smart play. He is a real good depth player and can play center as well. Good teams have depth like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 With 8 points in 17 games, Granlund is putting up very good 3rd line numbers. This is somewhat expected however, as he is on a team that currently has the 2nd highest scoring offence in the league (admittedly bolstered by that 8 goal performance tonight). He's still doing impressive work on the defensive side of the ice and stepping up with Sutter and Beagle out of the line up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an important Piece to this early success. Where is (I forgot his name) the guy we traded for ?Granny? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
