Scored the previous game. I guess taking half a second to think about that didnt occur to you Yes, his 6 points in 27 games with more than half of those being on our FIRST LINE is absolutely spectacular. Hart trophy worthy really. The guy is a 4th liner and both Rodin and Boucher should be given ice over him so we can see what we have in them. Edit: where are you seeing he scored in his previous game? He has no goals recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that He played like 7 games with the sedins and pp2 time and not a single point....he even shutdown the sedins over that span. Do you know how hard it is to not even get a bounce or a measly 2nd assist for any of them over that time? If that doesn't scream I don't belong in the show I don't know what does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always does his own scenes (that was him hanging off the Burj Khalifa not a stunt double) and puts his all into every role. The latest being Edge of Tomorrow, which is a fantastic movie. Based on his acting alone I hope he is continually cast for many years to come. He is the last actor that should be criticized for his work. You may well be right, Mattrek..he certainly seems enthusiastic enough! In truth, I haven't seen many of his movies the past decade, or two. In the 80's, I too danced around in my underwear singing Bob Seger(same as the brainwashed-masses!). Got more time for the likes of Pacino, Hackman, Newman, Redford & DenIro.. Love them ol' 70's stars. Golden era for flicks. But Cruise has had one Helluva' run, it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't good enough to play, why call him up from Utica? If the changes don't work, we can go back the next game and try something else. The sad part is the Canucks never seem to have enough practice time to try new things. Who says it's not working? Pedan played pre season as I recall and last season and none of it filled me with enough confidence that I would move any of the existing incumbents out just to give him a "shot" I realise the lightweights on here want him in the team because he fights but a defender is there first and foremost to defend and if he can't then he will at least have to wait for an opening due to injury. Pedan is there just for that reason. We are in the mix an that is not the time to "try things" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason we should be claiming someone off waivers just to sit them in the pressbox while an AHL plug gets 15+ minutes a game. Sad to hear about Rodin, hopefully he feels better soon and we can see what we have in him. I expect a win. Boucher is just as much "an AHL plug." Who do you think we are talking about here, RNH? You mean you, people like you and the media now accept Rodin was injured? Too bad eh, that's another BS accusation that has proven unfounded against the coach. Oh well on to the next one.

I believe that was Sbisa's skate that contacted Larsen's head, what game were you watching? We haven;t doe so bad without Dorsett and Guddy so far.

appleboy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I think they are hoping to find an opportunity to slip Boucher to Utica. Utica needs help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This game needs a goal!" Get the anthem singer to squeeze that into the US ditty(drop that propaganda-crap about bombs in the air) Jersey's a failed-franchise that were gifted Cups, after dragging game-style through the mud for over a decade. Lou Lam was a skinhead, insider-bully(league-flunky) that somehow escaped(teleported?) from the 40's & 50's, corrupt owner-era. For all this, NJ deserves an 8-1 drubbing.

The Big Luongo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 4 hours ago, RetroCanuck said: Id like to see Sutter back on the Sedins line just because he seems to be the only one that can ignite them right now. Put Granlund as the 3rd line C so that he can grow in that position which would benefit the team in the long run. Sedins-Sutter Baer-Bo-Burr/Rodin(rotate both in and out to keep burrs fresh and ease in rodin) Boucher-Granlund-Eriksson Chaput-Gaunce-Skille Waive Megna or Chaput I've been hoping for this for a while now but have no faith in WD making good decisions and if he does its well after he should. Markstrom should definitely be getting the start as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
