Not sure where you get 19 from? They have 4 b2b's at home and 3 on the road. And of those there are often multiple days off before and after. So not much to complain about there. All of our b2b's are on the road, usually with extra travel involved. But we do have a MUCH better schedule than usual. they definitely have way more than 7 back to back.. just go to their schedule and count.. literally they have 8 saturday/sunday back to back games on the calender alone.. and they have what 6 of them with 2-3 days break? and the rest all 1 day? vancouver schedule usually doesn't suck it's the travelling but not much u can do when you are the north western most team in the league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right call on the goal being waived off, and was the right call not assessing a penality for that play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was fine with the reffing for the most part. I didn't like how they let anything go with Garland, so he got hit from behind into the boards and then got a two handed slash... no penalties, and then from the ensuing scrum they just evened it up. Too much game management in that situation. There were two icing calls that went in our favour too. Still, I'd rather take the 2 minute power play as opposed to the two icings that were borderline.

Bertuzzi in my opinion was the last player in my memory. All these wasted shots from the blue line when the keeper has eyes on it drives me insane. This is what’s missing on the pp,plan and simple . Not stand off to the side( Pearson) and hope to tip but actually SCREEN until after the shot is sent then look for rebounds. Wasn't Chiasson supposed to be that net guy presence?

Ya when I play sports I’m the same way. He needs to think less and just play. Honestly think he needs to add a daily mediation to his life. As silly as this sounds the talents all there and he’s a smart hockey player but when he try’s to do to much, or you can see him overthinking things he forces the play and turns it over he will figure it out Edited October 18, 2021 by R3aL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been a season where the schedule has been in our favour? Lol I think the amount of travel we do will be reduced now with Seattle a little but we always are the most travelled and/or have a terrible schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Not sure I dig Dick at C so far. He played up and down the lineup as wing in Dallas and I would like to see how he does there. When Boeser's back I would move Miller at 3rd C again. Petey/Miller haven't been great together so far. Miller/Hog had some chemistry last year so you could try them together on the 3rd line. You then have the option to put Dick/Pod with Petey/Boeser. I would keep Pearson/Horvat/Garland together, they haven't been too bad together. 4th line needs Sutter. We've been struggling on the dot, PK and have no righty Cs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not expect Sutter to be back. What with long Covid causing fatigue, he has not be working out in how long now. It will take a long time to get into game shape if he recovers which I hope he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
