Archie the grim Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I like Stecher, but I think he needs to work on his passing. A Vegas goal last night came off of a face off after Stecher needlessly iced the puck. I think he was trying to make a long pass, but Brooks Robinson couldn’t have knocked down that rocket, he ices the puck way too often. Virtanen did the same made a iazy play didn’t get to center before shooting it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Troy tries hard, but he takes a beating, and occasionally makes glaring errors, gets caught up ice. He's supposed to be an offensive Dman, but only has 5 goals in his 3 NHL years so far. 42 points in 166 NHL games isn't good for an offensive Dman. Once Hughes gets here, Stech is gone IMO. Hughes is a real offensive Dman who will replace him. That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what side Hughes will play, if Green sticks to his handedness thing it he'll be on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot remember what Vegas goal it was, I think #3, where Stecher got knocked out of position and the pass went across for a tap in. I really like his desire, skating and passing. His biggest goal this year had to be his d-zone play. Better than last year. It would be a huge accomplishment for him to be on a CUP contending team.

70seven Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Stecher... I so admire his work ethic and battle... but imo his skills won’t be enough to make up for his lack of size. He’s just too NO dimensional outside his agility and battle level. The Canucks can’t handle big teams. But I don’t believe this is about size alone. It’s the current mix of vanilla defenders. No player outside Tanev has an elevated skill dimension. Edler is the most well rounded, but still not really great at anything except absorbing minutes in all situations. This is where looking at potential gets interesting: Hughes... exceptional skating, Iq, breakout defender. Woo... Skating, physicality, rock defender. Juolevi... cerebral, offensive Lucky for Stecher that the log jam is on the left side... but don’t be surprised if they play Hughes on the right side... Edler Hughes Juolevi Tanev Hutton Guddy Damn I hope we trade Edler at the deadline for a 1st and re-sign his ars for 3 years at a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Amazingly, even if Stecher's season is done by the hit tonight, he's already scored more points than the entirety of last year. A successful season for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Good thoughts, Tony Stretcher. Hurry on back, ya hear? That goof'll get his. Can't run around doing that for long...if that's his "game", he's deficient. He'll be set straight soon enough. Cocky so and so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Public Enemy #1. This jerk is only 5'8" and weighs in at a miniscule 160+.He's only played 6 NHL games in his career (1 assist). I suspect that players around the league have watched the dirty hit on Stecher, and will be aware of Martel. Some NHL players might even decide that he deserves to be treated harshly for his bush-league lack of respect game he plays. Here's hoping so. Here's also hoping a stray puck finds Cooper's face behind the bench.. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They let Gourde fight Roussel in that very game for instance, even though he got an extra 2 for some dumb reason. Gourde is 5'8, weighs a buck seventy soak n wet. At this point they were just making sure Vancouver didn't do anything too reckless. It was clear the Canucks wanted Martel there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to the point they were having a hard time getting officials to do the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, that is part of their job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
