Scratch, scratch, scratch.....showcase!! -7 in his last 4 games....-10 in his last 6 (meaningless for a shutdown winger, but it is what it is). perhaps Hynes doesn't think a lot of him? we're preserving Schaller for them lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not exactly in the "stretch" run just yet and that's when we'll need Marky the most. I'd rather see Demko get in a few more games than he currently has been seeing. Green thinks that Marky gives him a better chance to win, imo. I think that overplaying Marky will hurt Canucks in a long run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, just as the announcer is set to start the rising of the jersey ceremony, Henrik and Daniel take back the jerseys, and pull them over their heads. Raise their arms and announce their retirement is being put on hold! Head to Utica for a couple weeks before the end of the season for conditioning, then return a few games before the playoffs. The Sedins are still probably better today, than half our forwards at least. They are slower and older, but not having played the grind of the season, it may balance out. And what a phsyc boost it would be to the rest of the team! Obviously not going to happen, but what a story that would be! This would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 20 minutes ago, grandmaster said: Canucks needed this slide. They were too comfortable and lost some of their work ethic along the way. Canucks at 100% = a top team in the NHL Canucks at 90% = below average team in NHL Let us hope they have woken up! it's a learning experience for them, for sure. The points might e worth the same as they are in Oct, but from February on, they're much harder to get. learning how to play in these kinds of games is something all teams have to learn how to do and most learn it the hard way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 18 minutes ago, Silent Man said: Nick is great, he is never afraid to play rookies, underrated players, he is never afraid to make decisions. I just really like his interviews. He has a confidence that is not arrogant. He is asked the same dumb questions that drive Canuck fans crazy and yet he answers them with honest evaluation. "we tried X and it worked for a while, then it went flat, and we tried Y" He called out Terance Davis, (rookie) then starts him the next day. Davis has a career game. That is not just self confidence it is confidence in his team, and the team responds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsberg is going to eat Bailey and Gaudette alive, defensively. I'm not sure they have a top line - it would seem to be a 1b, 1b or 2a, 2a setup depending on how you look at it. Duchene Johansen Granlund Forsberg Turris Arvidsson Forsberg leads their forwards - would be 7th on this team in scoring.... The Canucks are at home - so they can dictate some of the matchups. But you can't really 'hide' any of these rookies regardless - which is why I'd have Gaudette on the wing - with a couple veterans and likewise with Bailey (and MacEwen). In taking LE off the Horvat line and having Sutter center another line, I'm looking to spread that 'matchup' around - I don't think any of the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th lines are particularly exposed with pairs of veterans. But I suspect Green will keep LE with Horvat, and probably keep Gaudette at center - perhaps 'load up' a couple matchup lines....my concern is that the 3rd line becomes a relative weakness. If Gaudette gets eaten alive as a winger....it's only compounded having him center a line. Edited February 10, 2020 by oldnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 1 hour ago, mll said: Watson is expected to draw back in for Nashville after being healthy scratched 3 games - he's going to have to bring physicality if he wants to stay in the lineup. Leads their team in hits and is not afraid to fight. Gets a lot of sparring practice at home too. Unfair advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsberg is going to eat Bailey and Gaudette alive, defensively. Their best and most consistent line this season has been the Bonino line - their 3rd line. Nashville can't seem to battle through adversity - Hynes talks of mental fortitude. They've won some games but still look off - improving though. The only player that is a real threat is Josi and he plays over 27 minutes per game under Hynes. He's 1 ppg and leads their team in scoring with 16 points more than the next player.
