I'd like someone to interfere with his face. Also: he skates like he's dragging a dirty diaper in his pants. I agree that Hamonic was having a good game until that punk injured him. Too bad, hope he's back soon.....maybe just needs a tetanus shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT68 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Actually could be Rathbone or Briseboise coming up. But if OEL goes in and Burroughs stays in we don't actually need someone from the farm. Personally I would like to see Rathbone or Briseboise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL will hopefully return next game, so we should be alright. Right? lol After that, who's next in line to play? The lack of depth on D is scary when you look at what's on the farm. Rathbone? Woo? I imagine the new GM regime is about to go to work. Do not expect Stan and the group to make any trades. it is what it is till there is a qualified GM behind the desk.

Schenn and Burroughs were both playing the left side tonight, so we are 5 deep on the right side. The issue is the left side. We need a 3rd pairing LHD. Don't want to bring Rathbone up. I'd rather try Brisebois and see how he does. Ultimately if we are to challenge for a playoff spot, Smyl and the team need to make at least one trade, maybe two. Briesbois has done fine during previous callups. I wouldn't mind giving him a decent look to see if he can be an option for a 3rd pairing guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I wouldn’t hesitate to call up Rathbone. I’d like to see him part of the glorious environment on the big club now. Baumer is gone. Give the kid another shot. Also think Brisebois fit in fine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand the way he intentionally plays dirty with no regard for player safety. What's worse is he is a complete coward and and will drop to the ice to avoid any legal hit. I loved how Schenn on 3 different occasions, took an extra second to give Rat boy a little cross check. It's about all you can do with a weasel like that.

Seems Green was getting the worst out of players. Rathbone will probably look just fine on his next callup. He's a very good skater. We need to reevaluate all of our D. Even Poolman looked ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefCon1 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 8 hours ago, Junkyard Dog said: He is helping keep it stupid simple with our D too with the high flips when under pressure in our own zone which is probably the right call with this D-core too. Gotta do what you gotta do with what you got. Only Hughes/OEL can make good outlet passes consistently. Just make sure Pearson isnt the one doing the flipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt probably gets a chance under a new coach before they go dipping into Abby I do wonder if we could develop Rathbone in Abby to play on his off side right side. Guy has a wicked slapper which would be primed for use Yuck Hunt? He is terrible. I think OEL will comeback friday so we wont need any changes. Just think of it as Hamonic having time off again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeQuinnAndEggs Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Stan Smyl is gonna make this team tough again. He's sat back for too long watching the softest team in the league for too long. Up until the Bertuzzi Moore incident the Canucks were always tough gritty teams. That was the turning point. Bert got traded, enter the Sedins as the core pieces and ya we were very skilled and successful but we were always soft. And it's been downhill ever since. We had a few decent years with Rypien, Hordichuk, Raffi Torres but we got softer year after year and now we are Charmin soft. Hopefully this finally changes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this finally changes I'd be willing to wager Bieksa had more fights than Jovo and Bert combined. There was toughness and grit on that team. Many simple jump the whole team by the Sedins not being being scrappers. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they rolled over at all. That's just a projected perception due to losing. How about the WCE rolling over for Minny? honestly, I think it's nothing more than looking for somebody/something to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have outshot them, but Bruins had a lead to protect in the 3rd so its not surprising we outshot them. That series will forever haunt me until we win a cup or I die, probably the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that once a few guys get injured, which we are starting to see, we get thin on NHL talent fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
