You'd assume a checking line would, I dunno, check somebody. Zero physicality tonight and it showed. Everybody looks way too rusty. It's like playing preseason games with scrubs who aren't gonna make it and line combinations that aren't going to be anything... are completely pointless. Play the guys who are gonna play together, together. If you wanna ice scrubs, ice them together and see who shines most. Boeser missing half of camp showing too. Markstrom and Edler were the two Canucks who really showed up tonight. Schaller should not be on this team, he brings *nothing*. Eriksson even had a passable game tonight. Sutter looked like he was hurt or something, way, way slower than usual. Where the hell are Baertshi, Goldobin and Gaudette? If you have a checking line that doesn't check, then there you go - there's a third scoring line. Oh, wait, Schaller gets a free pass. Hughes is not ready "on this day" for the NHL. He looked pretty bad defensively in preseason, was hoping it was jitters, but no. He's pretty bad defensively at least with the last 3-4 games I've seen him do. He can make something happen for sure offensively. Hopefully he figures it out a lot sooner rather than later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nice to finally get points from the D. Hughes is legit and nice bomb from Myers on an earlier chance. Sutter couldn't clear on the go ahead goal, weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoshuaGuy Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 I bet Green is on a short leash this year. Benning has provided him with 25+ NHLers so he better start acting like an NHL coach. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His tape to tape passes are extremely crisp and accurate. Pearson was definitely one of our better forwards. I agree with pretty much the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser man, his foot speed seems like it's holding him back. Always a step or two behind the play Boeser barely had any pre season.... + missed camp..

10pavelbure96 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Petey brock and ferland were invisible. That's why we lost. We outshot them without our top line. Future still looks bright. Onto the next. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ReggieBush Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 This game left me feeling good despite the loss. You could see our talent take over despite not playing well. I haven't seen that from a Canucks team since 2012. This team is a lot better than I thought. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Just now, Wayne Jetski said: Hughes was arguably the best canuck all night. And he had more of a motor then half the team... I think he was one of the best Canucks too. I'm not sure why people don't think he played well as I genuinely thought he did. However what you see is pure talent and skill. I'm not saying he's not trying his best. It's just that naturally, he doesn't have a "fire" to his game, like Stecher has. The way he plays will always look like he's being super passive, kind of like Edler. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
