So why is it the nucks have such sluggish starts? It's consistent and bothersome. I might be wrong, but it would seem that the coach staff can implement a different pregame routine which might better prepare them for puck drop He can tinker with pre-game routine, for sure, but most players have their own pre-game routine that they follow, as opposed to a team one. I think TG is in a feeling out process with all the new faces and lines too........he has to figure out which lines work well together and which ones are the best to start games to set the tone. Like others, i do feel he trys to match lines a little too much, rather than just rolling his 4 lines a little more than he does. I'd like to see him being more proactive than reactive, no argument 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea. The Canucks can play with urgency, but we often don’t see it until late in the game. They need a fire lit under them right before the first shift. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes-Tanev is going to move up the pairings fast. I wasn't able to watch all of the game. From what I did see, Hughes was caught a few times. But he didn't let that stop him from playing his game, trying to cycle and move the puck in the offensive zone, and all-round try to emulate what we all want his game to be once he's reached his prime. I expect he won't be caught as much once he develops to the NHL game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo should take the starting faceoff for every game as well. I'm with you that Bo's line should start the games......they are, truly, the top line. By the time players to this stage, rah rah pre-game speeches don't have much effect, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was gifted a golden opportunity and, as the superstar he is, made it count. But he didn't have a glaring stand out game to me...I think we did fairly well to neutralize him. I noticed Kass and Draisaitl the most. I agree....like I started in my original post... we did a good job shutting down connor and leon... they diddnt get many chances. Your absolutely right for most of the night we diddnt even hear the name mcdavid. But I stand by my statement.... the game winning goal play, mcdavid turned it up... we made a bad play .. and he attacked with full speed.... speed that in my eyes quinn wasnt ready for ( because he hasn't experiance it yet) and tanev wasnt ready and out of position for. Otherwise... why not take the body? . Ether way I think we played a solid game and should have won. I mean if your gonna get stung.... getting stung by the best player in the world is nothin to be upset about. Its gonna be a great year cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing to the coil always burns my ass, but I think we'll be feasting on them once the guys start clicking, if not, it's time for a new staff / system. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Myers can keep his game simple, like he did last night, that pairing is going to be very good. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best guys don't need to be told what to do, he seems like a self-starter like Petey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 To be fair last night if it wasn't for Drai, Edmonton probably would have lost. The team is playing two of the best players in the league. Those two can win the battles, but long term I think Edmonton is going to lose the war. Early season rust. If the team goes 0-10 then be worried. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overreaction to the first game was stupefying. They played an overall solid game. Mistakes were made by both teams that led to goals. Players are still shaking the rust off, some getting used to new linemates on new teams. The first game of the regular season is just that. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
