He has a nack for big goals too Also the 2nd PP unit looks way better with him on it Yup they need to see what Gauds can do, he can get Rousell going as well. I was on the Jake sitting out camp for Gaudz but now I think it might have to be McEwen. Granted Jake was borderline decent the last 2 games, but McEwen was absolutely terrible Game 3 and slightly better tonight. One thing worse than being invisible, is that you're noticeably horrible. The team needs a different look and a spark and hopefully Gaudz brings that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he supposed to do after losing ONE game in OT?! Come on. well tbh even before that lost to st louis in OT we were getting dominated in game 2 dominated in game 3 dominated in game 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you take out then? Loui? Zack? Or just hold Gaudette out? Wouldn't mind seeing him get a bit of experience. I think it was because he played on all four lines today.haha..completely no rhythm. Each line is different so it's hard for him to build anyhting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trades, what do you think you will get for Jakes since you all think he's not plying well. How are you going to get anything for edler,beagle, rooster, sutter, or erickson or even Tanev since once again we waited to long to trade them when they still had value. First of all, we still need Edler and Tanev. Our D would be 10x worse without them and non or our other prospects are ready to take on those minuets. Two of Rafferty, OJ, and Rathebone will take over Stecher and I guess the Benn/Fantaberg next season so still need those two until at least Seattle. We are stuck with Erickson so not much we can do there. I am confident we can find someone to trade away one of Beagle or Sutter since we really need only one of them and I think there is still a market for Sutter, just don't expect much back . Rooster still provide some grit that we need in the regular season and probably more in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team needs a different look and a spark and hopefully Gaudz brings that Feels like the Canucks depth guys aren't producing anything. Feels like the scorers are Bo, Pettersson, and Hughes, and I don't think that's sustainable for the remainder of the series. They need some scoring from the other lines as well. Sutter doesn't have a goal in this series. Neither does Roussel. And we don't really have any heavy hitters. St. Louis just grinding the Canucks to a pulp - the longer this series goes, the more it favours St. Louis. They're more physical, they've got O'Reilly shutting down our offensive players, and they've got more experience. In order for our boys to win next game, they'll have to play out of their goddamn minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have Horvat play with Boeser and Gaudette to create some speed with that line and maybe start up a sleeping Boeser. Or if Boeser still not playing great, demote him to the 3rd line and keep eriksson on the 2nd line. A 3rd line of Boeser-Sutter-Roussel could be a great 3rd line option with Boeser as the shooter on that line. I don't mind that. I noticed Green changed up the combos quite a bit during Game 4 anyway. But would try a top 9 of: Pearson Petersson Miller Virtanen Horvat Gaudette Motte Sutter Boeser Edited August 18, 2020 by BigTramFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fools errand thinking this was going to be a sweep or ending in 5. The Canucks pounced when they had a chance with the first 2 games, we gotta finish em off, or try to at least.

You don't sign guys like Beagle to generate a pile of offense. PK, faceoffs, crash and bang forecheck a few shifts a game, and that's about it. He only scored 2 goals the whole of WSH's Cup run. He showed his value the 1st 3 games (and against the Wild) no problem, but tonight the Blues were a much better team. As for Sutter, we all know his regular seasons have been less than what we'd hoped, but he along with Motte were our best bottom 6 guys up until tonight, and Sutter was generating some really good chances that just didn't go his way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beagle and Rooster were not brought in here to score. Therefore, scoring is not the metric Green, Benning, or CDC should be using to evaluate their performance.

It's funny though, had every Canucks fan been polled about whether or not they'd be happy with a 2-2 split after 4 games against the Blues it'd be pretty close to a clean sweep for 'yes'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned we're playing with house money at this point. The team's gotten some valuable experience and shown they can hang with the defending champs. We've already exceeded the goal set out at the beginning of the year of making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
