Wilbur Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hoglander's goal tonight spots him into 157th in all-time Canuck scoring. Sandwiched between 2 similar smaller/high engine players. 156. Tyler Motte C 196 28 22 50 157. Nils Hoglander RW 134 25 25 50 158. Marc Crawford LW 176 19 31 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think it might be a good idea to send him down to the AHL like they did with Podz. It is really helping Podz. Hogz just doesn't look like he belongs right now. When you notice what he is doing wrong more than what he does right there is a problem.

He plays the heavy game and drops them for his team mates. Torts loves him. Can't say this aged too well, 2 1/2 weeks later, he's at 8 points in 27 games. Don't get me wrong - that's still very reasonable production given what else he brings to the table - though one has to wonder if his prior production was just a bit of a flash in the pan, or he really has the potential to play like that consistently.

saucypass Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 This kid can play anywhere in the lineup. His compete level is great especially for a smaller player. Can't give up on Hogz, he has real potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower body strength helps his play. Getting stronger on the d-side. You can see him looking around for his check a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBlueGreen Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It looks like Nils got some top end speed and sleeker since the last game. Even the NHL.com has a sleeker version of him in his background image, with a different number: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might’ve gained some height too… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I reminded myself today of how young Hoglander is at just 21 (22 in 5 days). For reference, he's about 1.5 years younger than Rathbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I think he played his best game as a Canuck last night. He was feisty and fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I haven't watched an entire Canucks game in some time now, but was able to see the 3rd period last night. Hogs has never been a favourite of mine, but last night's game shows that his development is trending upward. I was impressed by how much his game has improved. Given his age, he is still a long way from his peak, which may end up being huge for the Canucks going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think he's finally starting to fit in on a more consistent basis, game to game. This may be the year he solidifies himself as a dependable, every game player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire_Spiky Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I really liked the look of the Garland-Dries-Hog line last game. Don't get me wrong they are small but they all have a bit of bite/snarl to their respective games which you need when you're a smaller player. When Hogs laid out 6'6" Zohorna you just knew that line wasn't taking any sh*t from anyone and they were rewarded for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good idea, but for the big club swiping Abby's top 2 goalies and leading scorer. Last I heard Alvin was sniffing around Abby's top dman as well. Hopefully the minor team can handle the disappointment of losses better than the parent club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
