N4ZZY Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I too, think that Podkolzin might get another look with Petey and Miller. Seemed like he had a pretty decent game with those two. I expect another strong performance from the Podz, between Miller and Pettersson. And I'm hoping for a win against the Wings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah true especially without Larkin. Although their goaltending looks very intriguing. Griess is a really good backup to have and who knows how good Nedeljkovic can be. I bet Philly would pay dearly for that goaltending lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bo Dega Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just a shoutout to GassyJacks hockeycards....This one on J.T Miller made me laugh, HARD....I can totally see J.T going to Japan after his hockeycareer, bulking up a bit and tossing guys around. Wouldn´t want to be on the redwings knowing this guy is coming to town... 2 1 17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deus.ex.makina Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 please put Hoglander with Horvat and Garland. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Makaramel MacKhiato Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 The thought of Brock potentially coming back is exciting. I feel that, without him in the lineup, many things don't make sense (Chiasson on PP1, Dowling on PP2). But once he's in, everyone can slide into their proper spots. Miller - Petey - Boeser Pearson - Horvat - Garland Hoglander - Dickinson - Podz/Chiasson Highmore - Lahmikko - Podz/Chiasson I don't know about you, but that lineup seems to work seamlessly. As a fan, it's fun to think that I'd be happy watching any line that's on the ice 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give them four rested players (Brock, Schenn, Hunt, Halak), which would be great. Hope the Canucks get an early lead so that Pods gets some extra TOI and gets to build some momentum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What strikes me in the first 2 games is the balanced scoring. If BB comes back in then obviously the forward group gets even deeper. The 3rd line will have serious scoring potential. To an extent I think this offensive potential up front should take some pressure off the d-core not just in puck possession time but also the need to play up as much as they do. Generate their offense off the blueline. Chaisson, Horvat and Dickenson can draw coverage back from the blueline to deal with their net front presence. It should give the defensemen more opportunity to generate plays from the blueline. I agree that Podz getting more TOI would be ideal but I also want Rathbone and Burroughs to get more as well. As much as special teams impact TOI I rather Green role the lines with forwards on #3 & #4 lines at a minimum of 10 minutes. Also prefer the 3rd pairing defense at 15 minutes. TOI allocation is about building towards a true playoff contender. IMHO 2 games in this group looks like a playoff team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTyrany Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Keep rolling and grinding and the PP will only get better once Brock and others (Miller etc.) sharpen their puck control. Small sample size but this season is starting with way more promise--Garland is such a beauty. GCG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notably though, there's been long periods of time in both games where the Canucks haven't had any sustained pressure, and I think the depth that Brock brings will help with that significantly. Winning/squeaking a point in games like the last two isn't sustainable for 82 games, especially if Green stays extremely strategic and like you said, shortens the bench. Brock is essential. The forward core is going to be deep if he and Motte return somewhat soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I also think Petey needed that shootout goal. My guess is he's unleashed now with a bit more confidence. Let's go EP 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Locke Lamora Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 I for one wouldn’t mind a win in a more conventional, less stressful fashion. A win today would mean grabbing 5 points in our first 3 games….an excellent start to the season. Halak and Boeser in? Maybe Hunt? Come out strong and take advantage of their Larkin-less state. I trust Green to continue to develop Podz in the NHL, exactly as he did with our little Hog. Travis is EXCELLENT with our young players, and if you listen to his post game comments you can tell he really likes Podz and has his best interests in mind. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money (literally) is on a normal win tonight Detroit is without their captain, and there's no way they're putting up the same energy as they did in the Tampa loss as they will for Vancouver.
