Certainly couldn't be Hoglander or Garland. they're both brave, feisty, and willing to go to the hard areas, no question. but if you depend on those guys to take the beatings in the tough areas for 82 games, they're going to be beaten to a pulp come playoff time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted October 4, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'm guessing the next round of cuts will include players like: Bailey, Dowling, Dries, Focht, Bowey, Brisebois, Burroughs and DiPietro. If that were to happen, that would bring us down to 31 players and we would then still need to trim the roster by eight more players. I feel the decisions this year are far tougher than in previous years. 2 1 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather have Highmore, Lockwood, Petan, or even MacEwen in the line-up - or a waiver wire/FA signing. 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 28 minutes ago, CanucksJay said: While I agree with you, I do wonder who is not vaccinated then as JB has stated that the team is not yet fully vaccinated but will be. I can see that all the players are playing (Hughes and Petterson soon) Could it be staff he's referring to? Anything is possible. I just really don't like speculating on it. It's different if someone comes out and says straight up that they aren't. I'm a firm believer in vaccination, but I also try and be respectful of someone's decision to vaccinate or not, as long as they have accurate information and not just made up sh!t that is all over the Internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I always liked Chiasson but let’s face it, if he plays with this low intensity level, there is no room for him. i mean c’mon, you re supposed to show 110 % on PTO.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Pettersson Boeser Hoglander Horvat Garland Pearson Dickenson Podkolzin Gadjovich Petan Lockwood Extra - Highmore Hughes Myers OEL Poolman Juolevi Schenn Extra's - Rathbone / Bowey. Don't forget, just because they start the game that way doesn't mean in game adjustments won't be made based on how the game is going. Your likely going to see Pearson bump up into the 2nd line late in games over Hoglander because of his defense game. Same goes for Garland maybe flip flopping onto the top line for Boeser or Miller at times. The key will be to see how well they can build a true 3rd line around Dickenson and take pressure off Horvat for extra hard minutes and let him drive a more offense game. Podkolzin right now plays a defense first game so he may indeed fit well on that line as well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2009/10 team had all 6 top 6 forwards score 25+ goals. That has never happened (on any team) since then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Podz needs to start ramping up his intensity level soon. Like next-game soon. His defensive positioning is good, but far too passive out there. He’s a different beast than the Hog, but he still needs to display a bit of the puck-hunger that our little Swedish bowling ball has.

Also hoping Hamonic joins the team prior to reg season starting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM nail in tibia, fibula can be plated or left alone depending on situation. Probably a couple months till back on skates. Shouldn’t be out all season. Thanks @DrJockitch!

I guess there's a chance he might be able to play again in spring, but it sounded like it was a pretty extensive break. I heard rumours Boesers’s out for 6 months with an ingrown toenail. Rumours man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't temp the hockey gods. Especially considering the sad sorry history of the Canucks medical department. And trusting their estimations of recovery. Petey was just supposed to be a week. Boeser went from "a maintenance day", to "at least a week", to "doubtful to start the season". I'm praying he's good to go soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
