Canucklehead53 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) At the baby nucks game tonight...Bailey stood out. Good on pk Hard on the puck Not backing down Little too relaxed and coasting a couple times but overall a strong showing Edited October 25, 2021 by Canucklehead53 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can. When I was still playing and dislocated my shoulder, my doctor wanted to do rotator cuff surgery. We had a number of guys on the team who had had it, and their shoulder seemed to always be popping out. I opted for a chiropractor in Langley, who specialized in dealing with dislocations- I have to say he did a great job - I got back full mobility and no problems. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed is very noticeable out there, def looked good in the PK. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I knew Bailey PKed in Abby but I was surprised to see him on the PK in his first NHL game in a while - guess I shouldn't have been considering the Nuck's depth right now. I thought he did well and made an impressionable blocked shot. If he continues like that, I could see Dowling being waived over him when he's back. Kind of hoping that will be the case.

canucklehead44 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Justin Bailey is an interesting case. He is still youngish at 26 but looking at his attributes and past performance (6'4, great skater, 29 goals avg per/80 games in the AHL) he hasn't really had that long of a look in the NHL despite earning several call ups. Since coming into our system he has seen a leap in production with 31 goals in only 56 games and playing well on both ends. I am excited for this guy to get one last shot as I think he could still become a player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becoming a NHLer depends so much on timing, with COVID and his injuries he's running against the clock, but he looks like he has a lot of the tools to be a NHLer. His speed and his - potential - PK abilities give him a bigger upside than Big Mac IMO. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nifty hands for a big guy. - a couple of seasons ago he was AHL player of the week after 3 hattricks in 4 games over 6 nights. Full repertoire, too, iirc ..... a breakaway, a shortie, a slapper, couple of dekes, a tip in, rebound, etc. Someone made a video of all 9, but might have been on Twitter, which I don't follow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark needed someone to cheap shot him to wake him up and then he went into full beast mode. Maybe that is what Bailey needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Canucks will get Jamie Huscroft out for an interview when they go to Seattle? He lives there. Haven’t seen him for years now.

I remember he was a pretty big deal getting drafted by Buffalo being a home town kid for them. He never could crack the roster there, he was weak defensively. So to see him come from that to where he is now is a treat to watch. He has completely transformed himself. Going from one dimensional larger scoring forward to reliable hard skating pk guy…slow clap for this young man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
