Popular Post SergioMomesso Posted September 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2018 Can't wait until Boeser and EP40 are firing bullets from both sides of the ice on the PP. Not hacking on Henrik but it's going to be refreshing to see someone on the right side shoot a puck that the opposition will actually be worried about. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik was a wizard on that side but you’re right, everyone KNEW what the play was going to be and set up accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having two snipers in Boeser and Pettersson, the goals will be plenty. Really hope Dahlen makes it with his fellow-Swede. I'm not sure Pettersson starts at centre, but they'll eventually get him there. As for the Canucks not having enough centres, there's Horvat, Sutter and Beagle. And Granlund, Gagner and Schaller are acceptable in the bottom 6. I'm hoping they can make room for Gaudette too. Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser Dahlen - Sutter - Pettersson Leipsic - Gaudette - Virtanen Roussel - Beagle - Eriksson Gagner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is safe to say you have a premature evaluation disorder (PED). You can see a doctor or even a therapist who can work with you on both medication and coping mechanisms that may allow you to solve the issue allowing for a much more satisfactory hockey experience for both you and your partner(s). PED comes in many forms which can include: simple lack of experience and being "too excited" to have reasonable expectations inability to enjoy the moment and instead are rushing to conclusions self-doubt/insecurity Some or all of these could be playing a role in your own form of PED. If you find that this continues to be a problem, perhaps only follow/comment on players who have finished their career so you can know the outcome. While this is a form of self-pleasure, many find it less emotionally rewarding than the real thing (starting a relationship with a prospect as a rookie and enjoying the relationship as it grows and works towards the peak of their career) but for some who have trouble with commitment, it may just be what the "doctor ordered" for you. Good luck with it. I wouldn't wish PED on my worst enemy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two rookie centers. Sure, why the heck not. Guess Gaudette could still go AHL and they play Ganger with Pettersson then put Sutter on a shut down two way line. Baer Bo Brock followed by A Gagner, Pettersson Eriksson line followed by a Goldy/Granlund Sutter Virtannen line with a true shut down line of Rousell Beagle Gaunce/Schaler.

Did you come to that conclusion from watching the rest of his game? A centerman is not simply a winger who takes faceoffs, so what other aspects were "safe to say" not conducive to him playing center? McDavid is a career 42% in the dot -- should he be put on the wing? yes please put mcdavid on the wing in games against the canucks good idea cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will just have to see; but I will agree that he is no where near ready to take faceoffs at the moment. I meant for this coming year, and likely a cpl more after that, and mostly regarding draws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone can learn a skill quickly EP40 is the guy. It may take him more than one season but it would be a huge plus, don’t you think. I agree completely, and I expect, with help from MM, that he'll get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it. I wouldn't wish PED on my worst enemy. You're a pretty good hockey guy, would you put EP at C this season? He wasn't able to play there, last season in the SHL, and he's clearly lost in the faceoff circle. Are you going to put him out for ozone draws so they can lose possession of the puck? Faceoffs, along with defensive play, make up 95% of cmans game. Why are you and others so thinned skinned? Players can have weak points, holes on their game and still be great players. People were screaming for TG to put Hank on the wing because he was bad in the dot.......hrs world's better than EP is right now on faceoffs. So he's not an NHL cman yet? It doesn't mean he can't score a bundle from the wing........positions really only apply in the d-zone and faceoffs anyway.

ilduce39 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Not to be negative but we’re sounding like Edmonton fans here. What was Pettersson’s FO% last night? Like, 0%? Pretty good chance he needs to either play wing or be paired with a winger who can at least hold their own in the dot. Winning 40+% in the NHL is a far cry from not winning a single draw in a prospects game. (I’m not actually sure what his numbers were, but it sure didn’t look like he won many, of any.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your statement sounded very "permanent". At the same time, I am neither a coach or development individual with the Canucks so I, like all, will see what they do. But me? Yes, I would start him on wing with a C that can play wing too taking the Dzone draws but allowing EP to take some as the game wears on. I am not thin skinned at all - I just found your absolute statement funny and responded as such. If you are saying he isn't ready yet, then I probably will agree but not based upon one meaningless game. Plus, I will let coaches decide as they are closer to this then you or I. Cheers and sorry if you took my attempted humour at your absolute as being thinned skinned or similar...wasn't the intent so clearly a failed attempt on my part at some humour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Context, in the broader discussion it was on his immediate placement. If you read my comments around that one, you'd see I was talking about faceoffs only and that I felt he was capable of growing into the position. He may or may not improve on faceoffs as he grows and gets stronger, but he also might not. It doesn't mean he wouldn't be just as impactful on the wing.

I didn't see him win any. He went fwd on one on the ozone, but that's as close as he got. He did, however, play well defensively and even got pk time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
