CanadianRugby Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hey guys I made the trip to Toronto to watch the World Cup and though I'd share a couple of pics and what I've seen. Also am interested to hear everyone's opinions on how the Canuck have been doing at the World Cup. I was most interested of course in how the Sedins would play with Loui Eriksson. The Sedins look much like they did last year, don't look to have regressed at all. It's been a treat to see them play with Hedman and Karlsson. Eriksson unfortunately has looked to be a total passenger on the line, he's super fast but hasn't shown anything else. Hansen has been impressive for team Europe, I like him with Bellmare. A little update: The tournament is pretty great. Good pregame videos and fairly cheap tickets (one game the cheap seats on stubhub were $6!!!). I'd recommend going to anyone next time they put this thing on. You get to see all the best players in the world in a few days. The only disappointing thing was the crowd at most games, especially when Canada played. The Swedish fans were pretty amazing, getting the rest of the crowd fired up.

ItsMillerTime Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Bellemare looks like a sleeper for the Flyers this year. Also have you watched every game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Eriksson is known to be able to drive play with many different types of linemates, therefore I find it surprising you use the term 'passenger'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Eriksson will be just fine. We are lucky that he wanted to be a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceGeorgeGoon Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think the canucks are better off if erikson finds chemistry on another line. Having a baer Horvat erikson OR baer Sutter erikson line already makes the canucks quite a bit deeper. (Not a one line team.) They Canucks are better, no matter where he plays. If he doesn't work best with the Sedins it's still a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandwagon38 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 No obvious synergy on a Sedin line could be a blessing in disguise for the Canucks. Let Hansen get another 25 while Loui gets his 25-35 assists by Bo and Baer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me we've paid him millions and he hasn't even played a single game for us? Ugh, terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Eriksson's biggest skill is being extremely slippery, finding space and getting goals from in close. He cycles well. He's not scoring because he's a passenger. He lets the Sedins play their game and slips the d. As soon as he does the puck is on his stick right in front of the net.

cripplereh Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 sounds good to me but eriksson I think will start with the twins but again he might be on the second line to give us more of a three line 2nd line team!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I thought Pizza played well. The guy has heart. He should earn that contract this season, as projected, hence the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
