But this is whats going on here: Both Bo and Pearson take the puck, and chase the puck deep. They need someone that routinely patrols the upper slot, and not to receive passes. Just someone defensively responsible enough to let those two play their game. What these two guys need is an elite distributor with a strong two way game. And there is no one on this team that currently fits that bill. Its definitely not Jake. Anders Lee perhaps, in the off season. exactly how I see it too. Loui is a placeholder for the more elite winger you want with Bo and Pearson. So until we get that guy, the fit is fine. 13 minutes ago, Hairy Kneel said: Lievo is a better shooter I think. Liev's has10 goals in about half as many games as Eriksson (who gets PP2 time as well). I think Lievo can muck it out and get greasy garbage goals too. Eriksson is mostly a perimeter player and too soft in the crease. I really don't see Eriksson who has been averaging 10 goals a year, as being 1st line material. he's not anymore, but he's also what we have and you also want those point totals up as high as possible, and maybe some other teams scouts see better fits? I'm reaching here but there are some good reasons to leave that line alone for the last couple of games. Loui's got 25 even strength points off the bottom 6 mostly (19 away from Bo's line), thats actually not too bad. I'm hoping that this little run here with Bo's line gets him some new attention and maybe Benning can move him at the draft or maybe on July 2nd when that big bonus is paid.

DrJockitch Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Brogan and Hughes in tonight! Could be very fun to watch but that is a tough team. Could be exciting at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found his constant harangue about Hughes on PP1 to be beyond tiresome, he was starting to sound like a 4 year old wanting a toy. I didn't find it funny, certainly not insightful. Botchford has his moments, but he does obsess a bit, lol. I think if he could do more reporting and less commentating, he would be much more credible and appreciated. He doesn't have the worst judgment around here among the journalists. There are much worse. He needs an old-fashioned job... colleagues, a regular gig, follow the team methodically; but a lot of journalists don't have these things available any longer.

I feel like he is the type of player that could excel on that line. Hopefully they give it a proper look. of those guys. Should be a great fit with his speed creating some room. I wanted him tried in this spot all year long so hopefully he takes advantage of the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Happy Birthday Biega. I really appreciate what you bring to this team. You have a non-stop motor and die hard approach to every shift. It is very impressive to see. A guy like you is a very good influence on the new players showing up to this team. When Green made his statements that this team will be about relentless pressure and a never quit attitude, he might as well had followed up by saying ' like Bulldog does'. Enjoy your day man. You should be playing in the game tonight without question, but don't focus on that. Sneak some bevies in the press box and reflect on your killer season! Go Nucks!

Put him on the ice after your opponent pulls their goalie. He can score on an empty net, no problem! Just make sure he's not on the ice when you pull your own goalie!!!

Doesn't bode well for those quick bang bang plays. Jake does not pass well, or often. He is a very one dimensional offensive player. Hoping he does well, though. The big upside to this is Jake's back check will be welcome, as 40/6 get hemmed in their own end a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Virtanen played the LW all through junior, it is incredible that it has taken this long to finally put him on his natural wing side.

A lot of us have wondered about this. All of Virtanen's best work seems to involve him on this wing, even if he starts out on the other side at the face off.
