Mackcanuck Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Baertschi had a lot more to play for last night, and it showed! Baertschi was Cunningham's roommate when they played for the Portland Winterhawks Craig Morgan @craigsmorgan 7h7 hours agoGoodyear, AZ Canucks Sven Baertschi (G, 2A) dedicated game to old teammate Craig Cunningham: "I wanted to play for him 2night. It worked out really well" Craig Morgan @craigsmorgan 7h7 hours agoGoodyear, AZ Sven Baertschi said after he scored he looked at his stick where he had Craig Cunningham's nickname, "Cunny" written. Craig Morgan @craigsmorgan 7h7 hours agoGoodyear, AZ Baertschi said hardest part is not knowing what's happening w/Cunningham: "You want to help but you can't...All you can do is pray for him."

CeeBee51 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If we keep getting lucky bounces and bad opposition goaltending nothing can stop us Certainly nice to have it happen once in awhile tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're also undefeated with Labate in the line-up. Coincidence? Bring up Pedan, trade a vet D man for a power forward who can score, then we are in business. Trade Tanev or Edler when they have value. Try and Pizza bring a different dimension to this team because of their size and strength. Pedan and Gud together would bring a similar dimension. Pedan needs a fair chance similar to what Weber was given last year. The D needs to use their size to their advantage. Play physical and take the man when the hit is there.

LaBamba Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 8 hours ago, oldnews said: and losing arguably our two best players, at least to that point. and having a horrble shooting percentage, not a great sv%, and "regression to the mean" on the way lol. and getting less than we need from Baertschi combined with a very slow start from Eriksson. and very little scoring from the blueline. and losing a few bottom 6 as well - including perhaps our best forechecker in Dorsett, while Virtanen appears to have re-injured his shoulder and/or needs more time in the A. Anyway, things could be worse, but the team imo is not as bad a projected by the majority, particularly the 'analysts'. Still too early. The hard part is going to be the 2nd half of the season where we usually collapse. The last 2 years we had more padding to soften the fall, this year we are sleeping on the box spring and the floor is right below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhdlois Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 5 hours ago, Mattrek said: Sbisa gets too much criticism on here. Last year he wasn't that great, but he was a young defenseman and they hit their peak at 29 on average, not at 26. He's got a long way to go and this year he's vastly improved his game. If he continues the trajectory he's on and makes the amount of improvement between 2015-2016 season every year going forward we stole the Kesler trade especially with the added bonus of Sutter who continues to improve every game. I'm very impressed with Sbisa's obvious work ethic and his progress in his development he's done. He doesn't deserve the hate he gets. Great timing for Sbisa to be coming into his prime.....just in time for him to be plucked in the expansion draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler/Tanev and Skecher Hutton and Biega I'd like to see what Pedan could do, but he'll be hard up to take a spot from anyone right now. The defense is a real strong area for the team right now with a balance of size and skill throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put the team on his back tonight. i like your optomism but seriously, let's first seem him do this against one of the better teams and then continue to do it with consistency that is really the difference between a talented player (and if you make the nhl you are talented) and a great player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burr seems to be making Bo and Baer better. I have a hard time seeing him shopped - unless the return is ridiculous. Otherwise Bo and Baer's growth are more important than a third, or even a second for Burr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
