And honestly he is a short drive away if Vancouver flops this season and Green gets fired...i'd like to see him hired with the "interim" tag and see what he has. Now, I don't want it to seem I want Green fired. But if the scenario does happen i'd like to see Cull finish the year off for us.....I hope none of that happens tho and both our NHL and AHL clubs make the playoffs this year. So far off to a good start i'd say!! You bet Vinny was the teams very first AHL signed contract to the team when they moved it to Abby. I was so happy they decided to drag him along with the farm. I've been watching him since he come to Utica a few seasons ago. I just really appreciate what he does for our young guys on the team. He makes it safe for them out there. I really mean it. Funny I just read this on canucksarmy about 10 mins ago and it echos what I say about Vinny. I'll attach Chase Wouters quote... "He’s an underrated piece of this team through the early part of the season. Wouters plays a physical game that has fit in nicely on a fourth line that is looking to play physical on every shift and bring energy on each and every shift. The fourth line was excellent for the Canucks on Sunday. That line saw Wouters be flanked by Vincent Arseneau and Ethan Keppen. “I thought we were good [on Sunday],” said Wouters. “I thought we got in on the forecheck, I thought we were physical, I think that’s something we can bring to the team and we have just got to build off things that we did good tonight and also work on some areas. That was a good fun game and it’s good to play with those guys.” Wouters was asked how safe he feels with known tough guy Arseneau on his wing. “Vinny is awesome,” said Wouters with a huge smile on his face. “We got thrown together here quickly and he’s always sticking up for his teammates. That’s something great about him, all the guys really respect him a lot for that.” Shaw would be the interim coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The AHL continues playing thru the Olympic break. Maybe a good reason to buy the AHL-TV package? 9 Abby games, I think, during that break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fine. No need to use all vets in key roles though. Most will never make any impact at the nhl level. If they haven’t learned to pk by that age they aren’t going to suddenly become key pk guys in the nhl. Some of this young guys could if they start working with them early enough.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) I really hope with Bailey being called up, it opens more room for Klimovich in the top six. He has been married to John Stevens since training camp. Stevens is a great veteran to bring along young players but is limited in his offensive creativity. Would like to see Klim get run with either Focht or Petan. Edited October 26, 2021 by CRAZY_4_NAZZY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had outstanding physical attributes: size, speed, strength - but he wasn’t elite enough offensively to make the NHL, so he had to work on his defensive game - and that included the pk. He would have made this team last season but for that hit from behind by Lucic, and then missing the rest of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he should be over guys like Chiasson and Highmore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks need piers, especially when they are 6’4” and they can skate like Bailey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allegend Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It is 2-2 after 2. Reign have carried the play, but Silovs is keeping the Canucks in the game. Dries has both Canucks goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
