Aside from his way overpaid contract, he still serves a purpose. 8 minutes ago, Junkyard Dog said: I feel Greener likes Eriksson because he makes simple smart plays with the puck and is in good position defensively. He won't take many chances or produce a lot of offense but you will also not see many mistakes on his end. Played the most 5 on 5 of anyone tonight (not just FWDs). Played more than Elias Pettersson. And we won, so can't hate. Loui played well tonight, props too him for adjusting his game to be useful in other way. (Also his stick breaking was one of my fav things this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our chances to make the playoffs more so with Tofu than without him. Hell Toffoli was a big reason why we've made it since he helped us win after Boeser got hurt. I would like all 3 of them if possible. I understand that would be hard to do. The chemistry between Boeser and EP was very much evident in this game. I think EP is far more dangerous when he is on the ice with Boeser than anyone else, including Miller. Assuming only one of Roussel/Ferland is fit to play the next game: Miller-EP-Boeser Pearson-Bo-Toffoli Ferland/Roussel-Sutter-Virtanen Motte-Beagle-Eriksson Gaudette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Seeing the replay on the Petey-Hartman incident, good on Petey for defending himself, but that wasn't much of a punch or push. Hartman, if he is really hurt, knocked himself out taking the dive. Looks more like he was just trying to sell it to try and get Petey suspended or at least be watched more intently. I'd be surprised if he's not back by the next game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if he's not back by the next game. He was on his way down after trying to cheap shot Petey. Hartman had already lost his balance but Petey's punch (agree that it was more like a push) may have propelled him forward a bit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's essentially the decision that you'd have to make. I think Tanev is the easy pick there. The Canucks went 4-5-1 in the 10 games after after acquiring Toffoli. We didn't go on some heater to sneak in, we got in because of the work we did in the other 85% of the season without Toffoli. Toffoli played 10 games for us. Tanev played 69 for us. I'd say Tanev was almost 7x more important in us making the Playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No traffic clear line of sight, were any even deflections? Its Demko time. We think its OK to drop guys like Guadette and Virtanen to keep the team competitive why not the goalie position as well? Strap the pads on stud, I think it may be your chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brovat Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 1 hour ago, VancouverHabitant said: Louie had a solid game. If you're going to play the same old tired "It's all Louie's fault" tune, then play it after a game where he sucks. Why the can't Jake show up into camp in the best shape of his life for once? Jake is so out of shape all the time yet one of the fastest guys on the ice. 45 minutes ago, theo5789 said: Everyone was calling for lineup changes after game 1. He didn't have a great game, so he got bumped out and hopefully learned something from the press box. He's been coaching the kid all year and this should be taken as another lessen. Who else would you have sat out instead? I would of run the lines that got me to the play ins with Ferland in instead of Rooster or Sutter. I’m sorry but not playing the lotto line together just smells of trying to be “tricky” or some other nonsense to me. Not to mention Toff, Bo, Pearson all play the same type of game that would compliment each other. Let’s forget all that and throw everyone in the blender like they’re down by a goal and haven’t been able to get anything going for a whole game. It’s like it works in reverse with Greener. Always fixing things that aren’t broken. Just saying. 23 minutes ago, canuckleheads fan said: I watched the game, barely noticed Jake aside from the back check on that one scoring chance. I didn't see him throw a check, he didn't get in a scrum, face wash anybody, he looked disengaged to me. He is one of our bigger players, our smaller guys are getting battered every play, and Jake did nothing. If you play only eight minutes, they should be meaningful minutes. When Mac was playing limited minutes he found a way to do something memorable, throw a hit, get in a scrum, make his presence felt. Even Myers was engaged, he took a couple of penalties, but he got some licks in. Jake beat a wild defenseman to an icing. Had the nice back check. Had the good chance with a half slapper. Had a nice shot that Rooster blocked with his head. Also on a shift with Pearson and Bo (after a pk) the line got hemmed in their own zone for a bit of time. As soon as Jakes check got the puck he made a simple move your feet play to force a crappy pass and ultimately they got the puck back. I don’t have a photographic memory but I can remember all of that pretty easily. Mainly because I was watching his play tonight as I thought the decision to bench him was a poor one. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post guntrix Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 Good game from Jake and a good bounce back game from the Top 6. Stetcher and Meyers need to be better. Markstrom was decent but he's still a step or two away from the guy we saw in the regular season. We better not trade any of these young guys just to sign Toffoli. If push comes to shove, JB should let him walk and take the L. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have come to rely on him to much (Because our defensive system) so when he performs just okay It looks bad. I don’t think his play has been stellar but tonight’s performance was just that - okay, not drop worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffoli was seen today in a walking boot as per a source in the Athletic so doubt he is back unless they got bad info. Gaudette and/or MACEwan should draw in.
