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. He played the first with Miller and Pete, then on the 4th line played 7 minutes total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mustard Tiger Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 Do people really wake up, And think they know whats best for a player who they only see over the course of a game? Vs the franchise that has 3.5 billion dollars of resources, Physically with the kid every single day, And has access to film and opinions from countless amounts of people who have been around hockey for 30+ years? Well call me crazy but i think ill side with the team decisions on this one 3 1 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johngould21 Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 For the most part, the Canucks are getting out of their own zone much easier this season. Fewer fire drills in their own end, by far. One thing I've noticed, and it's only parts of two games, OEL and Garland, are playing with some passion this season. The look on OEL's face when VP scored his first career goal was priceless. Plus, as a team over thirty shots on goal per game is a good thing, right? 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the baseline of what we got to work with, While still missing probably our best goal scorer... Mid season form these boys could really be flying. Will be one exciting season to follow 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Podkolzin will be fine. He will get more ice time as we go through more games. I loved the video of him in the dressing room afterward. The smile he had on his face when his teammates congratulated him was cool to see. I hope they have a better start tonight. Anything on Boeser yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRST G-OEL Oliver Ekman-Larsson notched Vancouver's first goal of the season at 12:28 in the third period, on the power play, in the Canucks' season opener on Oct. 13 at EDM. In doing so, he became only the fourth defenceman in Canucks history to score a goal in the team's season opener while also making their Canucks debut (Wilkins, 1970; Guevremont, 1971; Lanz, 1980). ROAD TRIPPIN' The Canucks begin their 2021.22 season by embarking on a six-game road trip from Oct. 13-23, marking the club's longest road trip to start a season in franchise history. It is Vancouver's longest road trip to start a season since a four-game road trip to start the 2006.07 campaign (2-1-1 record). DEBUTS TO WATCH FOR Three players on Vancouver's active roster have yet to make their regular season Canucks debut: Jaroslav Halák signed as a free agent on July 28. The two-time winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy (2012, 2020) appeared in 19 games for the Bruins last season, posting a 9-6-4 record to go along with a 2.53 goals-against average and .905 save percentage. Brad Hunt signed as a free agent on July 28. A native of Maple Ridge, BC, Hunt has appeared in 191 career games with Edmonton, St. Louis, Nashville, Vegas and Minnesota, accumulating 59 points (19-40-59) and 28 penalty minutes. Nic Petan signed a two-way deal as a free agent on July 28. The Delta, BC native appeared in seven games with the Leafs last season, registering one point (0-1-1) and four penalty minutes and 14 games with the Marlies recording 15 points (7-8-15) and six penalty minutes. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-face-red-wings-on-road/c-326897024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I have only been able to watch the first 2 games in bits and pieces, but I am really liking the effort overall! So cool that Podz got his 1st bingo only a couple of games into his career. Was it strange that he didn't see the ice for the 3rd? Green protecting his minutes? or did he have a couple of bad shifts? I wish I would have been able to witness the Myers hit on Keith live, but being able to rewind the highlights over and over again....WHAMMYYYYY! So far, we have had the opportunity to win both games with a lot of new faces in the lineup. I figured there might be immediate growing pains, but i'm happy with the start!
