Could have had two or three goals - at some point maybe it’s time to move on from this experiment. His line got scored on and didn’t add any offense - aside from that I really like way TG is managing the lines. AG or not, Sutters line seems to be engaged and producing ... that is huge for us. We’ve benched LE enough and demoted other fringe/suspect guys - when Roussel comes back who’s out? Management basically said there is a trade in the works - the only way this makes sense to me is if they are trying to raise someone’s stock. Still one too many forwards. Nice to have guys that played on the first and second line last year as our depth call-ups. Other then this, what a great game - and Horvat is 3-0 since becoming the Captain...felt we should have won the first game - McDavid beat us - Calgary was a close game, goalie beat us. Really aside from Levio’s questionable useage - things are going great. Miller is starting to look like the stick that’s stirs the drink on the PP - love how he predicts when to move to take a pass then right back infront screening the goalie, he might be the second best passer on the team ... and given how he’s been used - the guy that’s stirring the drink for the entire offense. 63% chance a first rounder plays 200 games...safe odds JB made a great decision. The bolded part simply is not true. The Horvat, Pearson, Ferland line was on the ice for the Detroit goal. Leivo's line was on the ice for 1 of the two Canucks even strength goals (Stetcher goal) and that earned him a +1 for the game. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nuck-lifer Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 What a sound game. Nothing against Jake but having Motte on that 4th , gave Detroit nightmares. Their like a mad hornets nest just buzzing from every angle! Onward to a real challenge and hopefully a statement game in St Louis! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 With our new defence and if the goaltending holds up, this is a playoff team. The defence is creating more offense and playing increasingly better defensively. The forwards have much more depth and size, tough to play against. Imho Jim has done better than anyone has given him credit for. We only think for the offseason but remember he also added Pearson and Leivo mid season last year for Gudbranson and Carcone. If Kyle Dubas did this the media would suggest a new national holiday in his honor. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel_3 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Had to PVR the game and i'm glad I did! That game had it all, speed, skill, and grit. Alex Edler drinking from the fountain of youth? He looks great! I thought Hughes looked a lot more comfortable controlling the puck and making his first pass out of the D zone. A bit of extra bite in that game, which I love. Early 2000's we had a nice little rivalry going with Detroit and last nights game had that old spark! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days ago heard IMac say that last season we lost 25 games by one goal......with our improved defence and added offence, we’ll certainly win a lot more games. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Aside from seeing success from the top guys, it's encouraging to hear how well Beagle, Motte and especially Schaller played tonight. I'm still not sure how Schaller fits with the team long term, particularly once Roussel is healthy, but he's at least starting to show what management probably had in mind when they signed him. None of those guys are likely to light the word on fire with offense but they can match very good players physically. Motte has certainly showed his value since last season and he's basically picked up where he left off. Beagle is an expensive 4th line centre but he seems to be a great teammate and a solid veteran presence with this group. As long as the dollars don't hurt the team's ability to keep its core players (which doesn't look like it should be a problem), then that's just fine.

Nucker 67 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 They didn't miss Gaudette, the 4th Line was on fire. Another good engaged game from Jake and Motte was effective. Horvat has been fairly invisable since becoming Captain. The D is like night and day from last year. Miller was an excellent trade. Schaller had a real good game. Love seeing them score in bunches like that. Demko also played really well. The Canucks are a physical team now, lots of big hits. Love it. Took a few games to get going, but this team is now firing on all cylinders. I wish we could re-do those EDM and CGY games. Going into STL next. I still feel good about our chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
