Any word on the PK personnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange. Giving stragglers PP time? Maybe this is Green getting a real in-depth look at what he has for the last portion of the season. It's Vegas -- go big or burn big!

Clearly the PK failure the other night has everything swapped around. I want to know the PK lines batch! I hope we see Vanek on the point instead of net front duties. guy has a laser beam. Then again Virtanen's shot would be fun for him to deflect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely Sutter, Archibald, Eriksson and Horvat - was Dowd before but Gagner should be back in the lineup and he was the one without a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again Virtanen's shot would be fun for him to deflect! I would like to see more speed and skill, like Jake, on our PK too. Teams' D on their PP would need to respect Jake's speed, and (maybe?) would back off on 50/50 pucks, allowing us to get loose pucks more often. Speed is a really good deterrent.

Plus he has a wicked shot. :D I loved seeing him on the ice in 3 on 3 OT. Good to see him get more opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep the same formation, perhaps it's LHS Baertschi on Henrik's half-wall, Vanek low net-front, and Jake high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer has mostly played left circle, Gagner bumper, Virtanen net front and Vanek right half-wall would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I like JB and Green a lot and think they understand player development - but throwing Holm into his first game against the best team in the league with an absolutely smothering, relentless forecheck and tight-as-a-drum defensive coverage in all three zones is not exactly what one would say is 'easing the guy' into the line-up.

This. Green will insert him when he sees Holm is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered them today in answer to SmitherJoes statement about players JB has brought in. I find it interesting that though Bart can't seem to crack the Calgary lineup Webbie is a regular on one of the best Ds in the league. It kind of goes with my theory the Canucks bring in players and put them in rolls they are unsuited for. Top line Loui, Second line Sutter, Top six Bartman, # 3 Guber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not complaining, I'm pointing out that they are throwing him into the fire and setting him up to potentially be exposed, which in turn will set off the real complainers/media to call him a bust. I'm excited to see him play, but I would also like for him to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately they've been alternating pairings Emelin-Weber one game, Irwin-Bitetto the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Still think they should find a way to get Guddy on the PP need to start taking advantage of that shot he has it's a waste to not use it. If the Canucks aren't shorthanded much they should try and get him on the 2nd PP unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
