1-d Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 21 minutes ago, VancouverHabitant said: Our defense was average... Quinn, Rathbone, Poolman and OEL had very strong games. My boy Myers was just average, and Rathbone had quite a tough game. Garland was by far our best forward. Hoggy was great again, and Horvat was fighting the puck a lot today EXCEPT for the two goals of course. Dowling, Highmore, Pearson and Boeser had fairly good games. Everybody else really struggled out there, most notably Elias, but also Miller and Lammikko. At least Lammikko and Miller battled through it and contributed with energy. MVP: Demko, of course. I can breath easier when Myers is just average. On most nights you never know which way he'll go. We really, really need to get the bubble Petey back to go anywhere this season. Understandably 7 month is a long time and he also totally missed training camp and preseason, but when you just signed a new, big fat contract you can hide only for so long.

We need to temper expectations on Petey a bit around here. Definitely not a top player in the league yet as many on here thought he was. Potential is there though Big fan of AM, my point was simply if your going to use Petey having a rough start as proof AM is better then him than using AMs horrible start is only fair. Peteys first 2 seasons and playoffs were not that far off of AM, last season AM was better but not exactly fair since Petey miss 30+ games and was on a role. People get far to worked up over small sample sizes, apart from 8 games last season Petey has been basically a ppg. It is obvious that he is a step behind and not playing since February and missing most of camp will do that. Thankfully we don't rely on him as much as the leafs rely on AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve the loss for retiring a number before the even played a game It's strange how they retired Stumpy Thomas' number and he never even played for them.

But OEL played fabulous, and Garland was incredible. That one trade provided amazing depth in the roster. That game would have been 5-1 or 6-1 after 2 if not for Demko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiasson shouldn’t be played over him. If you want development, shouldn't he be in the AHL getting lots of play time then. The season is early. The team needs some practice time which they'll get on this homestand now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He creates opportunities really well and would certainly give the PP some creativity. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 We just have to be patient with this group. In a lot of ways, they've surpassed expectations, considering all the extra complications other than half the team being new and starting on the road. Like injuries and contract delays. Petey having no training camp, after missing half of last season, is hitting him harder than anyone predicted. Maybe Petey knew that about himself, and thats why he flew into Vancouver secretly to try and move it along. But I really think that once the team gets back to Vancouver, and can practice together regular, do some drills, we'll see the old Petey start to come out again. This whole team needs that TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both had wrist problems??? could be fighting the same injury demons. some wrist bones structures take long time to heal - range of motion.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Considering we often go with family duos (Sedins, Courtnalls, etc) I sure wish we could have kept Chris and brought in Brandon Tanev, and Bo’s cuz Travis Konecny. No quit in any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
