SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Over 18 minutes TOI, 3rd best xGF%, 4th best individual expected goals, 2 shots, 3 attempted, drew a penalty, 2 blocked shots. That’s a really solid overall debut. Had a couple miscues, likely due to lack of familiarity, but also had a couple moments where he very nearly pulled off something special. Hopefully he keeps up these performance levels, settles in and gains familiarity with teammates and systems, and maybe some points will start to come for Vesey.

Junkyard Dog Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If he could turn into a Leivo/Pearson-level player but more so offensively minded than two-way that would bode well for our middle 6 that could use a bit more scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobar Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 That penalty was beyond stupid and also gutless seeing as Toffo was tied up by some else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched close enough toffoli threw the first at him as the play was coming to an end. I didn't mind seeing toffoli get smack for taking a dig at the puck. I did mind Rousels phantam tripping call and the non high stick call that left Myers bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Vasily and Nils is going to be one F of a line... quote me on that, not saying I'm not the first seeing it but I'm stoked... This would be the hardest working production line in the league.

They kinda go hand in hand. When you play that style of hockey, penalties will happen. People will never be happy lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you’re gonna get a penalty make it worth it. Feed him a few fists not just one quick shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying it’s funny how no matter what people won’t be satisfied, especially when it’s Jake involved. I do agree that you gotta pick your spots, but people gotta know that sometimes you’re gonna take penalties when you pushback. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't everyone complaining that the team has no heart or pushback? Yeah, I liked how he pushed back but it seemed obvious that the Zebras was looking to give the Habs there third powerplay cause that last five minutes it just felt like the circumtstances are being created for a last minute special (although, the Motte delay of game was legit but it gave them two straight PP within the last five minutes of the third period); perhaps some situational awareness from JV would had been prudent but everything happens quick and in other games stuff like those are ignored. The Canucks should have a book on these Zebras and there biases... Edited March 21, 2021 by ShawnAntoski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Getting back to Vesey; so far I've liked his game. I Iike how he competes for pucks in the tough areas, we need the help in that area. And has the hockey sense to play with offensive players. I think it was a shrewd pickup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like another Pearson best case or Leivo more realistically. Can play up and down the lineup, with his solid size and speed combo. Doesn't really stand out in any one area. Not overly aggressive either. Quality 3rd liner potentially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess Leivo-level is probably where he lands at a best-case scenario, which is pretty good. Worst case, he's a 13th forward for cheap enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I tend to think Leivo plays a more physical style, but they're both on the same cap hit, Vesey a couple of points more but he did play with a better skilled team mates in TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesey put up 16,17,17 goals in his first 3 years in the league. Leivo never even hit 10 until he got traded to Vancouver. Vesey had the skill set to put up 15-20 goals in the NHL which is exactly what we need on our 3rd line. If cap space permits next year a 3rd line of Vesey Lind Virtanen would work quite well.
