At least he isn't involved with some questionable sexual misadventure ... I hope, but there again maybe he is LOL so, what is so damn funny about "sexual misadventure".? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember if he missed one of those or just Tranna.... Either way, could be fatigued after playing those games. Who knows? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Have to figure there's currently one slot for a rookie LD, and they want to have a look at Rathbone. Hopefully some load management coming up for Edler in the next while, so we get a trial run of what Hughes, Juolevi and Rathbone would look like as our left side. It's a question that needs answering, and my guess is that it's going to look pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well get a look at Bowey and/or Rafferty while they're at it at some point before the season's over now that we're not necessarily completely focused on points/standings/post-season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hope he's just not playing because he's recovering from an injury and not fallen out of favour with the coaches because from what I could see, Juolevi was better well-rounded than Rathbone and was pretty decent on the PK too. We need him ready for 15-18 minutes a night next season, especially if we part ways with our UFAs and Juolevi's got to make the jump at some point, can't keep scratching him forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannydog Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Both are ready for the NHL. Juolevi's calm, steady, passing and can take and dish out hits, Jacks got a little hughes game in him, speed skating shot passing . Both will be in Vans lineup next year depending on how jacks summer goes. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if a guy doesn’t have the confidence of this head coach to play in a mean nothing game, you really think he’ll be used in a role like top 4 minutes? He’s not going to be getting better with his butt in the stands watching or playing minimal minutes. OJ is a LONG way from top four minutes imho especially since he’s been given spot duty. Give Green a freaking extension so he’ll play the rookies or get another coach who’s not looking over his shoulder to protect his job.

Dannydog Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Edler hasn"t played like a T4 D man this year. How many goals has he got? He's a minus player that takes way to many needless penalties. Hes to slow and his gap control is non existant, and hes supposed to move players from in front of our goalie, not screen them himself. Time and to many on ice minutes have worn this man down. Its his hockey IQ and experience i believe is whats keeping the man in this game right now .We have 2 young D-men that are ready to take that step on our back end. Just need a stay at home, insulator type d-man for the beginning of next year until these 2 get into the grind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is it. Juolevi is definitely ready for bottom pairing minutes at a minimum. The question is whether Rathbone can handle middle pairing duty. So far I think he can. Something like this would be fine with me: Hughes 22 min, Rathbone 20 min, Juolevi 18 min. Lots of respect to Edler: he's been a good old wagon, but he done broke down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyndall2 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 100% agreement on Edler's decline on the Canucks. So difficult watching the Canucks try and play out the rest of the season. With all their issues and injuries they are putting up a good fight. Let's get the season over, get healthy, regroup, get rid of the deadwood (players and coaches), hope for the best in the draft, let our kids playout the season and look forward to next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting very frustrated with Juolevi's lack of playing time. I think he is a great decision maker. He makes constructive passes virtually every time. His positioning has been very good. I don't understand as an organization why he sits so much. I think Edler is done. I love him and think he is a class act but Juolevi and Rathbone should play all remaining games. Seeing Edler a bit more does nothing for us. 3 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that alf. Eddy deserves the respect he gets also. I bet theres that 1 goal needed to reach 100 that we would all like to see him acheive this year that plays into his toi also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I really don't understand Green's decisions sometimes. He's getting the Virtanen treatment......play well, get benched 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Nice that Rathbone is playing well offensively but we're gonna need to develop some defensive-minded D pretty quick. Edler isn't getting younger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
