Jensen still has wheels, but I've never seen his hands be that slick.

Slot Rafferty in for a few games. 

That's the name I had in mind too. It's not a long-term knock on Hamonic but he's been clearly a step behind this play particularly against McDavid. Hamonic will be ready in short order, but he's definitely not there yet.

 

This is the "one" place I miss Tanev, he seemed to read McDavid so easy.

[RogersTowell]

Edler's been knocking guys on their butts all night long.  Love that man.  Hamonic looked a bit dejected about being in the box twice in a row.  He needs to understand that the Canucks don't get a lot of love from the Zebras and have put their team together to deal with that problem.

[Beary Sweet]

Hoglander has the potential to be a very dynamic player in the league. Almost Patrick Kane like. Just so silky and creative with the puck

[spur1]

Now I know why JB had such a smile drafting Hoggy.

I think a lot of it is just the speed of our D in general. We have 3 slow defenseman, and they're on every line lol. 

This. Olli, Hamonic and Edler are on the slower side of the skating spectrum.

We’re outshooting the Oilers, outplaying the Oilers, yet one PP to 3 PKs. What gives?

Glad to see Holtby looks solid, and congrats to Hoglander on his first. 
Let’s win da turd.

BS call on him there.

 

Breathe on McDavid on a break and they’re calling you. 

His 1st penalty was straight outta the refs ass for sure

[Qwags]

Edler looks like his 2011 era self. Getting better with age.

I know it’s early but it feels like that Bo line is going to have to carry big time at least until Miller comes back.

not necessarily a bad thing tbh; petey's line can handle a more defensive role for a while, and it may lead to a more lopsided ice for horvat's line

He still has one more period to go - GCG

Haha yup and I’d feel a lot safer if Brock and Petey could add an insurance goal or three.

I'd like to see that as a regular thing.

He does the CBC Punjabi broadcasts I believe.

Well his play by play in Punjabi is way more exciting.

 

Not feeling the pump tonight

Credit to Baumer, OJ played better after his gaffe where he easily coulda turtled 

That play was completely to be expected out of a rookie in only his second NHL game.

 

Easily corrected though. He just needs to learn he doesn’t have that extra second at this level.
