Beary Sweet Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Our home opener was fun. Obviously we didn’t get the result we wanted but the team kept it close. Let’s get our 1st W here at home and set the tone for this homestand! GCG! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking at this week and thinking they could go winless the way they are playing. Carter Hart sucks though, so there's always a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benning doesn’t fire Green soon, he should be fired with him. No free ride for anyone. As much as I'm sure that Pettersson will turn it around, his engage level, has not been what it was 2 years ago. If he's fully engaged and his opportunities are just not converting, then you leave him in the top 6. But, he's not fully engaged, this isn't just a situation where he's just unlucky, he's NOT GENERATING what he was 2 years ago, not even close. So, while he figures out his engage level, you put him as center of the 3rd line. Horvat and Miller, are both out performing him by a large margin right now. Net message, I have no problem with Green putting him on the 3rd line, and I actually think that he could really find chemistry with Hoglander as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscience Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Basically Halak has to steal the game or we lose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am deeply concerned as to why Petey is playing like he does and why the Lotto Line looks nothing like they have in the past. I understand we are early in the season and Petey is rusty but my gosh you would think we would see some improvement by now. I think its getting worse. I don't mind Benning either as he has improved this team year over year the past few seasons. This should equal to better and better performance by this team but that does not seem to be the case. There appears to be some kind of excuse(s) as to why that is not happening, it seems. This team looks disinterested and unwilling to pay the price to win games. We have spurts here and there, like Bo's performance the other night and Garland, but most of the team plays less then what is expected of them most of the time. I guess I am old school where I would be thoroughly entertained every night if this team provided good effort and they played desperation hockey the odd time and threw in a good hit here and there for good measure. Watching a bunch of millionaires skating around disinterested in entertaining the crowd grows very tiresome, to say the least. So how much responsibility is this on the Coach? Maybe not completely but I would think he has a big say in it. I still cheer for my team but this Coach is not my favorite and I am sure he will eventually find himself off the team and then we will see if he was the problem or not. GCG! To some extent I think our expectations of these young players is to high. The Sedin twins didn't really kick in until their 5th season. I'm not to worried, yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Hopefully Green sees Bailey for the keeper that he is, and sends down one of the AHL scrubs who’ve mistakenly been given a roster spot. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he been holding out? Goals will be coming now? I Highly doubt it. Earn your way. The green motto. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last game Petey thru a pass off the left wing to the goal mouth for a Hogs tap in. Hogs fanned on the play. That pass was top 5% NHL quality. Hogs has been struggling a tad himself. That said he is still getting his chances. I will watch the Hogs-Petey-Bailey line with a lot of interest. They should be flying tonight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Highmore does next to nothing of value other than that yet is apparently now an offensive go to guy on the team is so ridiculous it has apparently lapped itself back to making sense to too many people here. So what do we want more? Highmore playing his heart out every shift or Petey going through the motions? Hint: we lost to Highmores vs Buffalo and Detroit... Think about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 6 hours ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: This honestly makes me so happy. This is what I've been hoping for from before training camp. For some reason I truly believe that this is Bailey's year. He's big and skates like a train. And he's a point per game guy in the A. Hoglander and Petey can work some artistry and Bailey can dig and hustle and all the stuff he does well. If this could work as it is, we have three legitimate scoring lines. All of them have some size, skill and determination. I like it. Now if Motte and Hamonic get back in the lineup, we might start making some noise! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Look who's at the top of the Canucks scoring so far: Garland Miller Hughes Horvat All gamers. I'll give Boeser the benefit of the doubt as he's only played 4 games, but C'mon Petey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Admiring a player for hard work. That's fine. But if you can't do anything as a forward, that's not so fine. Edited October 29, 2021 by Ghostsof1915 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
