We just don't know. JB era we had a couple hundred trade proposals on this forum ... did any of them come true? Not thinking any of Allvins will be much different. Don't think any player is safe outside of Demko really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just dedicated that way. I'm not sure anything in the gym can really prevent injury due to being slashed. Perhaps different gloves, but this is more unfortunate than anything he can be blamed for. He's targeted and that takes a toll. Just like with Bobby Orr, as soon as other players learned his knees were his weakness, that's what they went for. If the goal is to take EP out of a game, then paying a 2 minute penalty is a paltry sum for a slash that could end his game, especially when the Canucks PP still revolves around his one-timer, either the actual shot or the threat of the shot. When EP's not on the far half wall, I noticed defensive coverage shifts to the middle to take away the bumper, knowing that OEL does not have a feared slapper. It's an equipment issue, today's players wear low-cuff gloves to free their wrists. I've noticed that JT wears plastic wrist guards under his gloves, I have not seen the same thing on EP, but he needs to do something! Maybe Bauer can come up with a fix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a goalie we would trade Demko for, especially considering his contract? I say no. Hughes is very close to that 'can't be replaced with his contract included, territory too.

I speculated a few months ago, that he would have wrist surgery this summer, when the season is over. I think they took the rehab path and that it's turning out that he needs surgery to fix permanently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had a friend once also who was a huge Red Wings fan.

I remember it (well). Moody - yes, he is...and miserable at times. Half-hearted - no...visibly frustrated when the team does not play well and with losing. He is at a stage of his career where playing right and winning are expected. A bust - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therodigy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Looking forward to this game! The Red Wings are a fun team to watch, but I'm confident the Canucks are going to shell them! Welcome back Troy from Richmond! Miller's going streaking! 2 more goals from Bo! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This should be an easy win but the Red Wings are a bit like NJD - they're young and they can fly. We've got to be ready again and not let in early goals, and should be able to take care of business. Vegas plays Florida which should be an easy L but Dallas will probably romp Montreal. In any case, we may well be in a playoff spot for a few hours. Huge building block before the back to back which we'll surely drop at least 1 game so have to win this one. 3-0 Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Greiss is hot and cold. But the Red Wings have shown they can score in bunches. Set the tone early in the first and jump on them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offseason after the bubble really changed the group, and how they (IMHAO) viewed management. I think player confidence in management to build a winner was lost. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
