I have watched all the pre-season games (1 live) and frankly I am a little concerned with the lack of apparent emotion/push back from the Canucks so far. Especially because there are a bunch of new guys trying to make an impression and guys trying to make the team - fighting for jobs apparently. Gaudette has been a breath of fresh air with his enthusiasm. I am hoping it's just because it is the pre-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had good push-back from the 2nd Ottawa game on - against Arizona especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for the most part except that I think Brisbois has been more consistent overall, but Chatfield has had higher highs and lower lows. Love those highs though!

I only really noticed the one play involving Beagle in the last game. Otherwise it has seemed pretty vanilla to me especially with the so called fighting for jobs mantra and new guys trying to make impressions. I honestly expected more. Maybe I expected too much. I admit I do like some emotion and good old fashioned physical play - hockey at its finest. Maybe the season will bring that soon enough. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 7 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: he was a great pick in the 3rd round, just 17 and captain of his team. Seems like he's been around forever but he's just 22. 7 hours ago, Borvat said: I have liked the way Chatfield has played. Brisebois has seemed more indecisive and has had some bad turnovers. Chatfield seems more confident and ready. Interesting. There seems to be a split on who has shown better so far. Although I like them both, I think Breezer has had the better camp. He's a better skater and passer, and I think if he continues to see NHL games as a fill-in that he will adjust nicely and be another Tanev-esque dman for us. I do like Chatfield, tho, and see him as another Bieksa. I just think he's slightly behind in readiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted September 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2019 So, according to Cap Friendly, we’re $1.72M over the cap with 16 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 2 goalies, and Gaudette and Brisebois as “non-roster” players. I’m gonna take a stab at what they should do for the start of this season. Demote Brisebois, paper Gaudette, waive and demote Schaller, waive and paper Biega, and that puts us around 100K under the cap to maximize LTIR on Roussel. Transfer Roussel to LTIR, Boeser and Fantenberg go on IR, recall Gaudette and Biega. Schaller stays in Utica. Eriksson stays in Vancouver (for the time being). Roster: F (14): Eriksson, Horvat, Miller, Sutter, Pearson, Ferland, Baertschi, Beagle, Leivo, Virtanen, Motte, Pettersson, Gaudette, Goldobin D (7): Edler, Myers, Tanev, Stecher, Benn, Hughes, Biega G (2): Markstrom, Demko IR: Boeser, Fantenberg LTIR: Roussel 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, they were definitely playing stiffer, but I do wear my rose colored glasses with my team! Hopefully you're right and they will step it up moreso when the games are meaningful....

I think with all the recent injuries to the Canucks..... maybe that means only 1 guy more needs to go on waivers..... Not sure but i guess it depends on the severity of the recent injuries....

Guest Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 9 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: I'd be fine with that list. I do worry that Green has his coach-man-crush on Schaller for some reason this year. Coaches always seem to love a certain plug for some reason. He's been one of our best penalty killers and has chemistry with our best bottom forward, Beagle. I'm not a huge Schaller fan, but he has his merits.

Yeah I don't see the same thing so far in pre-season especially based on the additions like Ferland, Miller and Benn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Noticed Alzner given the Gagne treatment...should be a busy next couple of days for Vancouver - at least two fringe guys will get waived past the AHL group. AG included - however I think JB will be working hard to get a trade made to open up one roster spot. We have better depth then years - pretty sure he will want to hold onto it, but still see at least one guy moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing new for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
