ilduce39 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 3 minutes ago, oldnews said: At the same time, you don't earn a permanent ride to the bottom six - in 6 games. i thought it was time to give Jake a carrot and get him some top 6 minutes - because LE was just too buzzkill up there - and they need the 20 goal scoring Virtanen - so they imo had to put him in a position to step up. And he has. Yep.. and it’s also safe to say TG has a history with Jake and doesn’t treat him in the stereotypical way... Jake (to his credit) doesn’t sulk when he’s in the doghouse a bit. I thought his goal was a pretty confident move which is nice to see considering his deployment this post season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Imo this matchup kind of breaks down like this: The Blues have the edge when they slow the game, to a more deliberate "half court" tempo. The Canucks have the edge when they play the relentless transition game - I think they actually gain a step on the Blues in that context. And that imo - is a good thing - to be able to take the up-tempo advantage - gives them the potential to drive/dictate the pace of the game - maybe easier to do than it is to slow it down? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Listening Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I don't want to see us trying to protect the lead. Go out there and push the offensive. The Blues now have to play our game. I feel it baby, LETS GO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur1 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Green has been reigning in his prize stallion. Combined with the Bo and the monster Miller and Huggy ... oh ya and Petey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Just now, VancouverHabitant said: No, San Jose Sharks have a lot of dead cap money on goaltending because they can't stop a puck. Demko's cheap, Marky shouldn't come in at more then 5.5 mil/season. As long as we're getting good goaltending, it's money well spent. But expansion draft. 5.5+3 for a starting goalie is hefty. Backup will have to be league minimum. Add Baerstchi and Spooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtman Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I have a meeting that starts 15 minutes after the game Friday. The one day we have an early game. &^@#. What a game.

Crabcakes Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 3 minutes ago, VancouverHabitant said: What's happening here, Jake's doing great on the 1st line and everybody keeps bringing up Loui? Is it hard to accept that Jake's doing well or is it even harder to give coach Green some credit for the line? Or is it even harder to come to terms with the fact that Motte will need a 7.5 mil/year contract once this series is done? All of the above. Damn hockey gets complicated in a hurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes we can nucks Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 What took Green so long to put Virt on the top line? He is obviously thriving with skill players, but not with grinders. He's more of a threat with his speed than Boeser, whose game has been off for a while and holding back the top line. To be fair to Boeser though, I believe he's playing hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
