He played well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Oilers had 2 two man advantage PPs that were more than 1 minute long. I think we did really well, and had 37 shots. Halak was really good too. Now I want Green to start our opening night roster in the last game Absolutely. The score isn't important, but rather the process and we passed with flying colors tonight. A lot of wins last season and the year before felt a bit hollow because there were a lot of games we played poorly but Demko or Marky saved the day which is fine they all count but efforts like this and the Seattle game we were the better team 5 on 5 with half rosters vs full ones. The pk should be better when we have our full roster and it stands to reason we will be a lot better with the full team. What I'm most looking forward to is seeing our entire dgroup all in the same game, aside from the personal changes, it seems like there has been a change in how they play style wise. Our D is much quicker as well and did we even ice the puck from our backend? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect him to do so well against Kassian.so who knows Oiler fans are super angry with Mac. Upset he knocked off smith's helmet and then started the fight by ripping off Kassian's helmet and driving his head into the ice. Personally, I'm glad Mac did what he did because otherwise, there was not much to like about his game tonight. Also makes me think... Do the Canucks need Mac as he is pretty much the only one that can fight? I don't agree with ppl that say enforcers are the old NHL. I think ppl that sit super close to the glass have seen the role tough guys play even still today. The way a team plays including their aggression level is a byproduct of who is on your team. I've witnessed games that get chippy and someone like John Scott would yell between the whistles before the face off challenging guys. Many times there would be no takers and then the game would quiet down. I even witnessed this last game when canucks were playing in Cgy. Gudbranson stepped into a Canuck during one of the whistles and pretty much threatened to beat someone up if they don't settle down. It still happens guys. Shocking but true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can see Petersson carrying his own line and wont need Miller. Garland-Pettersson-Boeser Hoglander-Horvat-Pearson Petan-Miller-Podkolzin Lockwood-Dickenson-Chiasson/Bailey We could definitely have 3 scoring lines the depth! its finally coming together!

It’s almost like having Gadj get claimed released some pressure on him, and he hustled and hit and was noticeable tonight. Podz just keeps improving every game. I like! Hunt is our new Alex Beiga. Short on stature, big on heart and hustle. Initially I didn’t think Halak was a good signing. So far it looks like I don’t know goaltending! And how about Lockwood. Boy you keep this kid. Every shift, he leaves it out there. Got under McMuffins skin and pissed off a few others. Was doing pk as well. Welcome back Petey and Quinn! Get well soon Brock, your buddies are back! Go Canucks!! re: the red bolded part - even though in one shift in the second period in his own zone he coughed up the puck 3 times - all within about a 30 second span ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Didn’t get to watch the whole thing but I thought Miller looked a lot more creative tonight. Green’s definitely going to have some options when he deploys at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) @CanucksJay I thought it was Podkolzin who ripped off smith's helmet. Sheesh Oilers fans.. . Both were accidents. Sorta... Edited October 8, 2021 by DS4quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until the fight, I was pretty annoyed with him. He passed up many opportunities to hit and tried weak stick checks on the puck instead. I was pretty much ready for the Canucks to waive him.... And then he knocks out Kassian and makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Podkzin and Miller looked really dangerous together tonight. I think they could be a handful to play against. Have to figure Bo will play with Hogs and Pearson, and EP with Boeser. Where would you put Garland? I think he’d make Miller’s line awfully scary. Can EP and Boeser carry a guy like Petan or Chiasson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Didn't see enough to have an opinion on anyones game. Was just nice to see Petey & Hughes back on the ice. And hopefully Kass is okay, that was scary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Is there any footage of Lockwood hitting Draisatl? I want to see why McDavid and draisatl lost their heads. In my opinion Lockwood should be on the 4th line, hopefully he finds a bit of a scoring touch. Imagine him and Motte barreling down on you. Those two plus Garland and Höglander wearing teams down. Should be interesting these final cuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I haven't noticed him as much which can be as good as it can be bad. I'm not concerned, I just feel like I haven't paid attention to him enough yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X Petey Boeser Pearson Horvat Hog Garland Miller Podz Lockwood Dickinson X That would make an interesting line up for sure. I would want a stronger version of Petan on that top line as I am not convinced he will win his puck battles and losing puck possession would kill the momentum of that line. I would be totally ok with the Canucks trying it to see if it works? I would feel depending on who they get on that top line, TG can just roll the lines as they all seem pretty solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 'awkward' stride was a critique of him as a prospect, but he's actually a pretty powerful skater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played with plugs most of the pre-season and hasn't gotten much PP time (as he's on 2nd unit). Garland-Miller-Podkolzin was a thing but only last a game a half. That was early on when Podz didn't look great. Now Miller is with Petan and they seem to play decent. Still don't like Miller at C and Garland looked alright with Petey but it was their first time playing together. Still think the Canucks should stack their top 6 and create more of a shutdown 3rd.
