He is such a unique talent, great skater, tough with a high hockey IQ. Anyone criticizing Garlands play has no clue what’s going on. They Probably mad he hasn’t scored a goal yet. He’s been great 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come here to be enlightened by other perspectives, to think, see and feel the game and the team through other’s eyes, thoughts or emotions, even if they are in contrast to mine. I value that highly, I respect and appreciate it, but I don’t utilize it to compare myself to anyone else nor do I require it to feel validated within my own thoughts. Again, please don’t project upon me, and no, we are not the same. You don’t know anything about me or my motivations. I will end my part in this convo with that. I hope you understand and thanks. Apologies to everyone - sorry to sidetrack. LOL, thats the biggest crock of bull iver heard. do go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I wonder how Boeser would play with Garland on a line? one of them would have to play left wing, but garland is really good at setting up plays and Boeser can finish them off quite well. top 6 could look like Miller-Pettersson-Podkolzin Garland-Horvat-Boeser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a major improvement and provides a ton of options for personnel ebbs and flows during the course of the season. Finally, feels good to be in this spot with so much potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green has never impressed me with his deployment but this guy is still a rookie in his second game. Podz will prove his worth and get more ice time. It's game two. Podz will be stoked tonight. Fans love him. All is good. @-Vintage Canuck- already posted this back on page 8. Green is asked about Podz’ goal at :35 and his reasons for his ice time at the 2:20 mark. Ice time for his line: Dowling 7:43, Lammiko 9:13, Podz 7:03. Green and the team are pretty stoked about him and his goal so I’m going to assume he is too. I’m certainly hoping his ice time goes up on this road trip (more because I want to see Green roll 4 lines than any worry about Podz’ time) but definitely by the time they return home and Green has the last change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 It was great to see Podkolzin get his first, and nice to see the Canucks win, but objectively, nothing has changed. The team was extremely lucky to win the game. Carter Hart was about as bad as he could be in net... Petey's goal, (which depended on a flukey bounce to even get on net) and Miller's goal were down to him entirely... bad positioning, then compounded by him panicking in both cases when he lost sight of the puck. Chiasson's goal was also a fluke, bouncing out then off Chiasson's scate and back on net... and thanks to Hart's bad positioning, going in. The only decent goal was Podkolzin's, although Hart gave him a huge opening to shoot at. The team is still displaying the same lack of imagination in the way the offense is run. Its all incredibly old school... players two or three abreast crossing the blue line. There is no crisscrossing, no trailer to drop the puck to.... the only play is a horizontal pass across the ice... which is the easiest pass to block. Usually the puck gets dropped to the D at the blue line and then the rest of the play is all perimeter. There are very few clean looks at goal because the way the plays are drawn up it is easy for the D to anticipate and block the shots. This team has plenty of players who have the finesse to play a more complex game, but its clear they are not being coached in that style. The D side of the game has also not changed... there is too much collapsing to the net and not enough use of player speed to get on the puckhandlers quickly. Once the other team is established in the zone the Canucks basically just give up any attempt to regain possession and focus on blocking shots.... which may work for a while, but typically results in injuries and an exhausted team by the third period. Against weak teams like Philly with their suspect goaltending the Canucks might eek out a win, but against decent teams they won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 And yeah... why does Green bench Podkolzin when he is showing flashes of his potential???? A young player has to be encouraged when he produces, not immediately squashed and stapled to the bench when some 'mistake' is made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once Boeser returns then the possibilities are endless, but even with him out there are so many options. Hoglander, Podkolzin, and Garland have improved the team so much already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 2 hours ago, Rindiculous said: Honestly, Flyers play by play announcer is one of my favourite. He's got a really sharp, polished, and animated voice. Way too many Eastern conference announcers just seem bush league by comparison, but I do agree the Western announcers tend to be better overall. Can't say I've heard them much. But the sound of the play by play guy's voice just gets me, same as so many others out east, with one of the worst being the thankfully retired Doc Emrick. So many of them sound like they should be in a 40s gangster movie, with all the nasally twangs n such. Maybe I'm too picky But we have been spoiled with Robson, Hughson and Shorty. Especially Robson, for those that got to hear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team is going to play a perfect game which you seem to want. You should be more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igorwasgreat Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I don’t think the treatment was any different with Hoglander last season, this season Hoglander is on the ice with less than 2 remaining. Trust in the process, Podkolzin has just completed his second NHL game , patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks at even strength had almost identical stats to the Flyers in terms of corsi, fenwich, and expected goals, with more scoring chances and high danger scoring chances. On the power play that boosted us well and above as the better team tonight in terms of expected goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie, how dare you score? You are benched the rest of the game for showing up the vets. I kind of remember last year Olli had a decent game and scored his first NHL goal, then sat in the press box for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
