73 Percent Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 23 minutes ago, J-P said: I think it's more about QH:s shot not really generating anything vs OEL. Someone mentioned the idea about having both OEL and QH on PP1 with OEL the traditional quarterback and QH in a rover role. I like that. Also would like Boeser and Horvat on PP2 to balance the formations. In a few years I hope we have two strong PP formations with EP and QH maybe staying on for an extra shift in tight games. I'm so sick of green. By the looks of it out best players are too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 10 hours ago, Rindiculous said: Kirk's was a huge moment that saved the Canucks season. No save will ever top it most likely. However, I feel like you're forgetting a couple incredible saves that rival Demko's scorpion. Exhibit A: Markstrom's best save of his career, and I think this might be my favourite save of all time regardless of how big the moment was. Exhibit B: Probably Luongo's best save as a Canuck, and he had many of them. Game 6 of Round 1 vs LA. That series was full of incredible saves by Luongo including this goal line beauty in game 1 OT: We've been blessed as a franchise with absolutely unforgettable saves by so many different goalies throughout the years. There's probably very few franchises with 2 of these types of unbelievable saves...and these are 5 of them right off the top of my head. Don't forget King Richard in the '82 run. Carried the team to the finals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My respect for Demko is higher then ever at the moment. With 64 goalies in the league now (at least), and so many games ... the saves of the week are pretty amazing and it really could be anyone - including the Skudra (career back-up) types. Usually not ... Hasek lol. I remember Kelly Rhudey who's the biggest flopper ever, making crazy saves while flipping around on the ice ... his bandana was cool at least lol. With all due respect to our awesome goalies saves, of which so far, we've really only had one HHOF level actual goalie ... there are amazing saves been made every week/month/year and every team but Seattle, has had a couple goalies do that for them ... maybe Vegas too but MAF for sure has a couple, don't know about Lehner. Great saves though! I couldn't do that off the top of my head...but even Cloutier had some dandies .. Some of my favourites are goalies using the shaft to make a save when all else fails seen that often enough...Demko's save was about as awesome as they come. Hasek level. Holtby's windmill last year was sweet. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's what they got out of it Well this is all speculation. They said his body language wasn't great when asked why the PP wasn't working, and wouldn't give a verbal answer. Not very solid reporting ... surprise surprise. Either way Hughes shouldn't be gifted that spot. It's far more important the PP gets going than Quinn picking up a possible secondary assist or two.

This is the pros and if it isn't working, change it up. EP and Miller should be taken off the number one unit as well. I'd like to see OEL, Garland, Hogs on the first PP. All guys that like to move and I'm curious what they could do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, IBatch said: He's a great passer and excellent at gaining the zone ... problem is it's too predictable and teams have tape on it. Guys stand too still which has been mentioned... It's like they'd rather not lose possession by risking a shot lol. And the shots they make are telegraphed or already anticipated. Need a new look... OEL/Garland is a new look. It just needs to be unpredictable...the skill level is there for sure. New looks can be created with the same personal. I have no problem with OEL and Garland but the PP is not a Hughes problem. It’s how we execute. We don’t move the puck quick enough. We hold onto it for too long and there’s no urgency. It’s the 5 guys on the ice working together that needs to change. Put any guys out there you want. Until the direction and plan changes we will continue to Struggle Edited November 5, 2021 by Devron44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 You know if the coaches fessed up and said to the core, nope, we're all out of ideas on how to score on the pp, What do you guys got any suggestions? But my guess is Green's ego is way to big for that. ergo King as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope our boys are ready to face a motivated and pissed off team. I think the Canucks are a motivated and pissed off team. If they come out flat after last game, something is inherently wrong with the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
