We have no toughness in our lineup now besides Beagle. Don’t want anymore cheap shots. On a positive note, atleast he’s getting his sophomore slump out of the way Haha...he does seem to do everything at a quicker pace then anyone else. Hopefully you are right....love your post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give him a chance to recover from the various hits/etc. he's been taking. And also might give him a little perspective and give him a chance to re-think his creativity and confidence. Don't think a day off will help. We just had 4 days between games. No real uptick. EP40 looks exhausted, mentally and physically. Is falling down more than usual, his passes are nowhere near as precise as earlier in the season and hardly ever gets his shot off ( the other team, of course, has a lot to do with this ). Knowing EP40, he will come to camp next season with a plan to deal with all these issues ! Once the NHL 'grind' overwhelms you, it takes a long rest to recuperate ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked rejuvenated tonight. Was responsible for a lot of chances out there and should have shot that 3-1 in OT. Oh well lots of time for our alien to grow up. Beauuuutyyy PP goal and that shootout move was slick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 After that hit in New York and some of the stuff he has had to go through on the ice, these past games, I am suprised he is still playing. Now with Guddy gone and Rousell, I really don't know who is there to back him up on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) beagle, motte, jake, macewen if he gets back in the lineup. u cant do much with injuries. not many games left of the season either. Do u need that much when there no reason to play games since ur cutoff from the playoffs? Edited March 16, 2019 by Mrwipeout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 32 years old and played two seasons with the Canucks. Back in those days, 32 years old was even still considered a candidate for the Calder (I think), as it was before Makarov's Calder win in the early 90s. Hlinka's second year with Vancouver was even better! Pretty neat that such a legend played only for the Canucks of all the NHL teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Pettersson/Canucks rookie records update: Tied Ivan Hlinka, '82 and Pavel Bure, '92 in points(60). Needs 9 more assists to tie Dale Tallon, '71 (42). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hlinka's second year with Vancouver was even better! Pretty neat that such a legend played only for the Canucks of all the NHL teams. Sorry, but I was no fan of Ivan Hlinka. He was here for only 2 seasons. When people talk about forwards on the '82 Canucks playoff team, it's Smyl, Gradin, Boldirev, Fraser, Williams and Rota. Where's Hlinka?? Not one winning season either for a team that was far better than this Canucks team. It's a sad state of affairs for a franchise that it took an "old" rookie to set the club rookie record for points and that the record had stood as long as it did. 60 points is one of the worst club rookie point records in the NHL. Prior to Pettersson, I seriously thought the Canucks rookie point record was a record that would never ever be broken. Hopefully, Pettersson not only puts Hlinka in the rear view mirror tonight in Chicago, but can accumulate as many points as possible for the remaining 10 games of the season. So lucky that we have Petey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waved at him the 2nd time and he waved back. He is a big man. A good 4th liner with skills and smarts. Too bad he went back to Russia. Lets hope big Tree comes back. In a few years, Tree, Hughes, Juolevi and Woo will patrol the Nucks blueline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquilini will bring his crew of heavy construction workers. But, the one to fear is DEB. Edited March 18, 2019 by stanleysteamersmyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
