It is sad to think about it this way, but I also am grateful that we got basically a full month of Canucks playoff hockey. Some teams only got 5 games or fewer *cough* Edmonton *cough* Toronto *cough* 1 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be gentle. I kind of agree. But I don't know what the answer is... Not enough talent, or that awful d zone coverage...

Be gentle. He's probably more effecitve defensively than Gaudette has been offensiively. Tough assignment for Gaudette to step into center in this series. But not sure Green has a choice - Miller i has obviously been unable to do more than spot duty, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's not the only veteran center we have limping.

Popular Post oldnews Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) I've been very impressed with Boeser these playoffs. His game - the good looks with the puck - haven't necessarily been coming to him as much as he/we'd like. I've mentioned that I think his wrist is injured - not able to get that signature lethal wrister off - which may be in part why he hasn't occupied that left half wall spot on the powerplay where he can get those one-timers off - instead he's been down low with Miller - a left handed shot there. He's also had a serious back injury and real personal growing pains to live through. But Boeser has stepped up all the other parts of his game. He is visibly working his tail off - he's forechecking with serious intent at every opportunity, he's going to the hard areas and parking himself in the paint looking for dirty goals and taking punishment, he's backchecking and giving a dirven effort in spite of the production slowing a bit. That is how you work through dry spells - and it's what makes me love his character. He'll be a better player for it - and the wrister, the goals, and the player we know - will be back. Let's not fishbowl him. Edit - and forgot to mention - some spectacular playmaking from him - off the top of the head that beauty set up to Horvat on the edge of the crease and a couple grade A chances he feathered to Gaudette last night.

Notably, in game 4, Sutter didn't take a faceoff (he won 8 of 10 on Saturday, so something is amiss). Gaudette did ok in the circle yesterday, winning 5 of 8 after winning just 1 of 4 on Saturday, so his improvement came at just the right time. But something ails Sutter, in addition to Miller's wrist hampering him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 1 hour ago, igorwasgreat said: If we start making the playoffs consistently, Vegas will always be in our way , Vegas is to this team what Chicago was to the last. Thankfully without the “ Chelsea Dagger” Yeah but the difference is that their core is older and we are younger, unlike last time (our core was older compared to Chicago's core). The reason why we are all so excited about Petey and Hughes is that they are still few years away from their prime years but are already playing like a top 10-15 player in their respective positions. I'm not too worried about Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure2Win Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think Brock is playing injured, he's looked totally ineffective since early in the St Louis series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about Vegas. Me either.....Goaltending could be a problem for Vancouver though. Marky ain't getting younger. I am more worried about the Coil and Avalanche. Also Vancouver needs to clean up their D it's bad. I don't care about individuals however I don't think it's balanced.

Slegr Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I hear Ferland is ready to give it one more try in Game 5. Just kidding... could you imagine that? Maybe Leivo is magically ready though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about Vegas. Yep, Vegas is at their peak and will come down in a year or two and then enter the inevitable long rebuild period all expansion team go through. We will be spanking them for the next decade very soon. And frankly, we are already a top 4 team in the west by virtue of being in the second round with a core that is not even close to their prime. We will be fine. The future is bright and frankly, getting the three month off might actually be more of a benefit giving our boys time to heal and actually practice and refine their skills as opposed to a potentially quick one month turnaround to next season. Whomever wins the cup this year is going to have a miserable season if everything goes according to plan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuck1991 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 bottom defense pairing needs to be upgraded. If tryamkin signs he will be a big part and he will return the hitting favour. Some one like brendan dillon can be a nice partner. I love troy but size is a big issue. Playoff games are won by bottom 6 and defensive efforts and we have worst bottom 6 and not the best defense. Edler era should come to and end as well, dude has been a wall for decade for us but time to move on and find an upgrade. Eriksson and sutter needs to be traded as well, and we will prob loose demko as sweetner or to seattle. We need another forechecker or 2 like motte, relentless work effort. Hate mark stone but he is a damn good defensive forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
