RU SERIOUS Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 6 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: I'm a little bit concerned that when the game got feisty, Elias disappeared and started patting the opposition on the back between whistles. Meanwhile you have Garland trying to drag his team into the fight alone. We outplayed Detroit big time and I'm sure it will happen a few more times where the opposing goalie steals the game. I'm okay with the loss in that sense. Yea, that concerns me. Thats a swedish/Euro thing I think. I can remember the sedins helping players up off the ice that they accidently knocked down and it made every hair on my neck stand up. If anything you give them a last shot - to send a message. That is how you make your mark known! One day we'll hopefully get some bigger and grittier players to help us thru the playoffs. Right now we've got almost no one with any family jewels to make statements after Uncle Jimlet Mac and Gad walk away for nothing, so it was super refreshing to see Garland (one of the smallest players on the team) do that. That's what you call leadeship........ BO !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Canucks have an assistant coach for the PP. Am I wrong about the assistant coach for the PP. Please let me know. Thank you. You are correct ! ...........................and Green is ultimately responsible for all coaching. Buck stops with him. He's the Coaching BOSS.

Guy claims Garland “didn’t make an attempt to play the puck.” Then proceeds to share a video clip that clearly shows Garland playing the puck into the corner, before the hit, and then making a successful pass to a teammate after the hit. The midget layed him out pretty good!!!!! Fan fav definitely! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Petey needed an entire training camp to go over exactly what he did last year. The problem isn't Petey missing camp, or Hughes. The problem is how to execute the PP with all that talent on the ice. ****************************************************** ************** POST OF THE MONTH *********** ***************************************************** 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sorry to say but losing in regulation to a bottom feeding team is not promising for the team's playoff chances. Also to add in the game against the Flyers 3 out of the 4 goals were lucky bounces. I am still not optimistic about this team to be honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Green needs to get 4 lines going and just roll them in a game like this. He tries too hard to play the matchup game and it ends up burning out our top guys with too many minutes. Theres a reason why we’re always so much worse on the road under Green.

Elias Pettersson Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I'd be concerned when the smallest guy on your team is also the most aggressive player you have. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams only have one guy who can QB a PP. We have 2, maybe even 3 if you include Rathbone. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without Boeser right now, the PP has enough weapons to be far more deadly. I have rarely seen a team so content with stationary perimeter play both offensively and defensively. I would have loved to see what a new coaching staff would have adjusted with this new roster. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they haven't signed him long term yet. He could turn out to be another Jason King "flash in the pan"! (If that doesn't get the homers "going" - don't know what will!)

Spoosh Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What on earth is Zadina going on about? Garland was gonna play the puck regardless, Garland was gonna hit Zadina regardless. Garland had his back to Zadina while playing the puck and Zadina as the only one with eyes on the situation put his head down even when he saw the hit coming a mile away. Things happen fast but he knows his head hit the numbers so why cry about it after the game. I can understand heated feeling in the moment on the ice but afterwards with a situation clear as daylight. Jeez. Other than that, good looks but Greiss was a wall. PP needs to execute and my lord, reffing at the highest level simply cannot be that difficult! 3rd period vs Philly was tough to swallow but this was even worse. Both ways. Calls were off by a coutry mile, soft ones called and proper ones missed all game. Sidenote, do you have to be toothless to play for the Wings? Not many seem to have a full set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deus.ex.makina Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 still can't stand Dickinson. the guy is slooooow. No urgency, no hustle and slow decision making. Poorman is a little suspect too, but it could take some times to adjust to our poor defensive system. Highmore on the other seems to have jumped into Motte shoes and play really good. Good surprise with Dowling, not bad at all, same thing with Burroughs. when Boeser's return, i want to see those lines Miller Petey Boeser Hoglander Horvat Garland Pearson Petan Podkolzin Highmore Dickinson Chiasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We already have quality guys on the PP. They should be a lot better than they are, even without Boeser. Not even sure Boeser makes much of a difference with the way it is playing. Fixing it should be priority one. We’ve played good 5v5 but the PP sucks the life out of the team. If we’re able to continue to build momentum from our PPs we will start dominating most games we play. PK needs to be better too. We’ve also really dropped the ball on faceoffs so far too. Winning them is pretty key with special teams. Losing draws has proven costly on the PK already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland was aware of his incoming presence, braced himself, and threw a reverse hit without throwing an elbow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
