Googlie Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 8 hours ago, Pears said: 43 shots in the first game after we move Hughes up to the first powerplay unit And 39 shots vs LA when Edler was on the first PP unit. So a 10% increase in shots, but 4 fewer goals. What exactly is your point? (And as an aside, might have been a season high 43 for, but also a season high 40 against) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If there is anything particularly encouraging about the start of the season for the Canucks, it's that they're finding ways to win even while Pettersson and Boeser aren't quite at their A games. It's not even like Pettersson and Boeser aren't producing. If the whole team can get going at the same time and keep it going consistently, then they definitely do look like a team to be reckoned with.

If they'd actually move around and create space it would work amazing. Kucherov-Stamkos light. But they've yet to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would like to see Virtanen play a few more games with Horvat and Pearson. It’s a better option than Ferland or Leivo right now. That third line could be a constant rotation of players. Maybe Ferland comes out and Gaudette goes in next , than Leivo for Ferland, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Hughes run it but with Petey/boes still on their weak sides waiting for one timers. One other thing is boeser needs to set up lower in his circles, instead of taking his one timers from damn near the blue line where almost every goalie will make the save unless you shoot like ovie. I'd say it's a fault of all three. Pettersson sits in one spot way too often and Boeser is lazy on the PP. Hughes will help force them to move as he moves so much but they need to understand that the PP isn't rest time. When they do is when they take the next step in their progression as players.

Pete needs that Ovie mentality of idc if the goalie is in position I’m going to blow this puck by you, because his shots elite but he decides to defer way to much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcheeze86 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Petey gets so in close below the faceoff dot then doesnt shoot this kid needs to shoot more id rather see him shoot first then turn into henrik on the halfboards 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should stay with the 1-3-1 setup but try Boeser as the bumper because he isn’t a good 1 time option based off his positioning on the powerplay but I see his score most of his goals from the slot middle-ish of the ice. Kinda surprised he hasn’t been tried at the bumper spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they're 5-1 over the past 6 with a crap sched this weekend I wouldn't pull anyone just yet, and see how Detroit goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their constantly passing to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer EP is actually go closer to the net, just to draw in the defenders and putting more bodies around the goalie (with Bo and another defenseman he's already battling with), then have BB waiting for a backdoor play or pretty for cross-ice for a one-timer. The PK collapsing will also allow for more opportunity for the Canucks point shot to pepper the net. The PP coach should be reviewing more of Henrik and Daniel's 2006-2011 PP tapes. They stopped relying on the cycle and starting to fiddle around a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind Myers in front with petey, bo, boeser as the middle 3 and then Quinn or Edler as point man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would like to see Gaudette in for Detroit's game and give someone a rest for a 3rd games in 4 nights. Who would you take out? At least some rotation in the line-up would help them in a long run for injury prevention especially on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 6 hours ago, Phat Fingers said: Having Quinn and Ep40 on the same unit makes incredible sense. They both distribute so well and have fantastic skating. Quinn's shot really surprised me. Seems to find a way to the net with regularity. I think he just thinks the game so much better than a guy like Edler. Sorry Eddie. It's not only how hard to shoot and sneaking a shot through a lane but also the timing. He'll shoot quickly between the top passing lane where as Eddie is always trying to shoot it through someone long after he has run out of time and space, I noticed a couple times that we were starting to look like those good teams where we were getting deflections off deflections on Quinn's shots to the net. That's partially because the other 4 players are now going to the net looking for pucks instead of just standing there hoping his teammate will pull off a miracle play.
