Really need to add a D with better hands and movement; e.g. QH. Chemistry will come. It's the softness that troubles me--need a wolf pack mentality and Calgary schools the Nucks on the point. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JM_ Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 1 minute ago, stawns said: I think part of the issue with Jake, and one of my few criticisms of TG, is that's been almost exclusively stick and very little carrot. After awhile you lose hope that you'll ever get the carrot, so you quit trying. TG needs to make sure Jake gets more consistent rewards when he's doing what is asked of him........and despite all the crap people talk about Jake, he's actually one of the more consistent, value added players on the team. thats why this new look 3rd line is kind of interesting. Jake seemed far more engaged and offensively actually got a pretty nice shot off, hit the post. If we can survive AGs learning curve as 3C this might work out really well. Just one game but I liked what i saw. Schaller remains a mystery to me, but lots of things are so I guess I'll just have to trust Green has a reason for him to be around. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but taking a roster spot when your that fragile in the NHL is a huge risk at any rate.. rather see someone else other than the nux take that chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a hamonic took an extra whack at marky Gaudette was all up in his grill and cross checking him repeatedly. We need that type of pack mentality. The cam unfortunately then panned to a gassed Brandon Sutter who just casually skated by. Sutter showed zero interest in the after whisle activities. He could have just been gassed but he has to show some life. I loved the short elbows Jake was throwing as one of the Flames continually cross checked him in the back during a board battle. Kudos to the refs for letting them battle it out on that one. 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that line too and AG definitely shows moments of serious potential.......he also gets struggles defensively at 3C, but if they role with that configuration I'm sure he''ll adjust. He's a gamer, for sure. I'd like to see Baer on that line, drop Schaller to Utica and Leivo to the 4th. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be a glaring, drop the gloves and start pummelling a guy...it has to be a get out of my face pushback and I, too, saw the elbows to send that message. Can't always play by the book ... sometimes it needs to just be scrum dirty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time Sutter stood out to me was on a shift where he was coasting back o the bench while Calgary was breaking down the ice on a rush. He didn't look engaged at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big guys like Adam McQuaid and Stephen Johns have still not been able to resume play after taking hits to the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I don't think you can base whether a player is in or out on "potential risk of injury". ALL players are subject to that...head hits are dangerous. One, two, five. Base it on what they show when they're out there - Sven's shown he creates offense. Puts himself in good positions and never stops moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Had to miss the game, was at a concert. I PVRd it though, is it worth watching? No goals, 0 for 6 on the PP. On paper, I think this team should be scoring in bunches and physically dominating other teams. Season hasn't started out that way. Is it a coaching issue?

EdgarM Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) "Ferlund -Petterson -Miller Pearson - Bo- Boes Leivo - Sutter - Virt(Gaudette) LE -Beagle - Motte Edler Myers Hughes Tanev Benn Stech Marky Demko Schaller,Baertchi,Goldy are on the bubble. It appears TG is favoring the bigger, hard working, fore checker as opposed to the smaller skilled players that are not core players. LE does not fit this criteria but his defensive skills will keep him in the line up. Virt is questionable because of his consistency. Gaudette is showing more and more that he is closer to being NHL ready." I posted this on another thread and I am sorry to say but "Petey and Boes" play about as aggressive as "Hank and Dank". Boes has chemistry with Bo and this would keep all the lines with bigger, aggressive players. We are still playing the "finesse" type play when we should be matching our opponents with the same intensity and aggression. We are basically getting out muscled like we did with Boston in 2011. Ferlund does look like he is not 100% and this may have an effect on our level of "push back". Roussel will help as well and probably Motte. Petey and Boes are getting nullified so far and this is eventually going to wear on their confidence. This needs to be addressed ASAP.

Good intensity through most of the game but the Canucks still look very much like they're still finding chemistry and eachothers tendencies etc and that showed up on the score sheet. It wasn't a Picasso. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rekker Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 Oilers aren't going 82 and 0 and we aren't going 0 and 82. Sucks losing to the Alberta teams. The team is far from clicking yet we could of won either game by eliminating a mistake or two, and getting a bounce here or there. Passing needs to get sharper, Hughes should be tried on PP1. Will be interesting to see how the next stretch goes here. For the first time in years the team has some expectations heaped on them. I suspect the vets will lead the way to wins with some simple back to basic hockey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bure2Win Posted October 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2019 “I liked (our power play) but I don’t like that we haven’t scored,” coach Travis Green said. Any idiot that talks like this doesn't deserve to be a head coach.....Sigh 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
