I see the Canuck alumni in Detroit were all a scratch last night. Stech, Gagner and Biega.  

Stecher wasn’t a healthy scratch to my knowledge.  Dealing with an injury.

All is good 

 

no playoffs for 4 years other than a covid qualifier 

 

lost 10 of 12 

 

one of the worst records in the league 

 

all is good 

But we're trending in the right direction, right?

Seriously?  What a bloody joke. Pretty soon curling will have more physical contact.

Well if Poolparty wasn't a big wuss they should have fought like it looked like was going to happen.

How about sending a fine to Forbort for molesting Höglander?
 

Riiiight.

Gloves weren’t involved.

Looking very much like our 2018/2019 season. Definitely a step back from last year. I can't count how many games in January - March 2019 we got one or two early goals, then sat back for 40 minutes and lost 3-1 or 4-2.

Even then it's still better then it was with Edler maybe getting 30 points and a few with 8-9 one with maybe 20....how many games have we played? 23....over a full season - and not saying it's sustainable, but close to 200 points from you D is a lot better then it had been in quite some time.  Take QHs completely out and assume he scores 75, that's about where the entire D was scoring without him right?   And Edler manning the point, Hutton scoring maybe 22 or so - the rest 10-15...   Point is there are some things going right with this team too.   But feel free to denegrate that too. 

Just pointing out stats isn't denigrating at all, if you think it is then that's in your head and on you. I just pointed out a glaring disparity between Quinn and the rest of the d-corps and the only difference between the d scoring the last 2 seasons and the previous 4 is him. He is "going right" not necessarily the d-corps or the team.

 

Dmen scoring

15-16 .24 p/pg

16-17 .22 p/pg

17-18 .25 p/pg

18-19 .27 p/pg

19-20 .38 p/pg

20-21 .37 p/pg

At least Roussel has something to show for his season so far.

[Nucker 67]

I'm actually surprised EDM didn't send Nurse out to take care of Roussel for roughing up the kid. I don't know why he attacked Puljujarvi like that, he went a bit nuts. So undisciplined. Roussel is a liability. Is Bailey ready for action yet?

Doesn't matter who we put into our D system, the result is the same. Success elsewhere but struggle and look like $&!# here.  Baumgartner must have pics of someone.

Didn't need to, they knew they would take care of the bigger picture beating us on the scoreboard, where it really hurts the most.

and yet they are allowed to rough up our players, like going after Petey and Hoglander all night, and a few games ago, going after Hoglander and causing him to bleed, ya thats alright, i hate the Nhl and their bloody double standard!

This is true, he took one for the team I guess. Just seemed odd that no one retaliated. If Marchand, for example, attacked Juolevi like that? There would be a swarm of Canucks to his rescue. I wonder if the Oilers players aren't too keen on this Puljujarvi kid. Maybe he deserved it? Tough to day what was said and done off camera.

Rousell's going to get his wheels knocked off pretty soon

We likely could see something next game. I was fully expecting a response too.

Benning has had seven years to find that top defensive defenseman.  Schmidt is a solid two-way defenseman but one guy ain’t remotely good enough after that period of time.  

Although as a  casual observer it seems to me that Schmidt has caught the Vancouver ailment of turn-overs and missed passes out of our own end. I have been disappointed after the hype of landing him.

So Roussel gets some pushback and runs into a dirty Finn and gets Fined.

 

Poolparty now looks like a coward.

 

I will take that exchange any day.

New team.  New coach/system.  Throw in struggling team.  He’ll get better.
