That defense is a disgrace to the word Defense. The defense there didn't know how to defend againsts nhlers. We came a long way Re: defense.... Being basically healthy there right now (knock on wood) makes all the difference in the worls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He caught teams by surprise last year and I doubt many expected him to come out of the gate like he did. He could simply be at the same level as last year, but now the expectations are there from fans and from the opposition focusing on shutting him down harder. It will be up to him to find another level to his game to breakthrough the tighter checking, but in the meantime, he is still producing despite not looking as effective (much like how we are still getting results despite a weaker PP so far). Just imagine if he does find that other level and how much more productive he would be (much like the PP, how much more dangerous we would be if it starts clicking as well). To further elaborate on this, look how much space Hughes gets because defenders are cheating to cover Pettersson/Boeser. Lead to two power play goals last game. Once defenders treat Hughes with more respect, Petey's one-timer will start up again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his slow start. Wait till he finds another gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) First attending game of the season tomorrow and It looks to be a barn burner. Even Greta is in town to watch her Swedish countrymen in Petey and Backstrom. Let’s see how much the Caps have left after Edmonton tonight.

Kanukfanatic Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) One mouth breathing idiot on hf says we should trade our entire 3rd line (sutter, leivo, pearson) and schaller and use Baer, Gaud, and goldy as the 3rd line. Those guys at hf are so stupid, one wonders how they actually survive day to day. Edit: someone should talk to them about "depth" and tell them what it means....but I doubt it would matter. Edit2: in fairness...there seem to actually be a small number of hf posters now trying to fight back against the sh&% stains that litter that board lol. Edit3: the hf poster ms has almost surpassed y2kstupid as the biggest moron poster on the planet haha.

Both games are playing opponents that play the night before. 4-2 Canucks. Depends on who they played and where might factor into it but i wish Greener didn't have to juggle the lines to find the best combinations and let them gel but with as many new faces as we have that has to be done to some degree but when that is finally over, we'll be a lot better than we are now and not having to depend on power play goals to win games.. That being said, we were 7th in the league when we won the last game and we're still not playing all that well compared to how we can and will.. Yeah it's hard to be patient with no cup but that's what we're faced with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Will be at the game. Nervous, excited, scared...all of the above! Caps are a formidable team, can't wait to see how we stack up. I think it'll be a hard fought game, in it till the end, and ultimately the win!!! Now just have to decide if I am going to get a new jersey or not. Hmmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Last game I went to was against the caps and the Nucks lost 5-2. They have to pounce on what should be a tired team, Nucks had a nice break so no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 2 quick goals by Caps in 2nd to take 2-1 lead. Oilers were up 1-0 after the 1st. OV has a goal so hopefully he takes it easy tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This will be a tough test, WAS is big, fast and they can score. Markstrom is going to have to be very solid. I'm not sure who Samsonov is (WAS backup) is, but can't take him lightly. Canucks had a couple of days rest/practice, so I'm hoping they come out fast and furious tomorrow night. Also hoping Ferland, Virtanen, Schaller, Beagle, Myers and Benn play a physical game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we're a much better team than we were in those games and the Caps during that time were dominant.
