Popular Post Canuck Surfer Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hoglander? He had a recurring groin / core muscle issue last season. A total disruption for a guy who's power and agility is his calling card. Had surgery to repair a tear, spent summer rehabbing. Is a workout freak of nature, so I expected him back. Last year was more a reflection of his injury. He is an absolute core player for us if he can stay healthy! 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not on the first unit power play so most of that was with Miller. I'll support Boudreau all day, but; I think the line will change later on. Podkolzin looked so good with Miller late in the season. So far as Boeser goes, all depends on his fitness, speed and compete level. Hope it works out as well as you think this coming year. What do we have? Too many wingers! What should we do? Trade the redundant ones! How should we do it? Drive their value by playing him with our 99 point guy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Devron Posted September 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2022 Things are happening this year. Imagine if we had traded Miller and taken a step backwards. Good grief. This team has been building for while. Thank you JB for putting a great core together. Alvin and co for adding some slick pieces. The bottom six looks legit. Yeah defence could use some work but we also have great coaches and Demko between the pipes. Gonna be a great year. 2 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Anyone noticed how Keeper has been doing at camp?? He'd have to beat out both Poolman and Burroughs to get a spot but I'm rooting for him!! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 One nice bit to pump things up a little bit more... just watched Friedge saying that he expects Demmer to make a run at the Vezina this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a decent amount of NHL games and Mike Yeo was really talking him up in that mic'd up video. Yeah Mike Yeo and Bruce were both impressed with him and specifically mentioned that he had excellent practice habits. 13th forward candidate? The guy that spends most of the year just practicing with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Hour talked of Keeper having all the tools but for speed, so his injury will be the major test, but so far he's looked okay, in a good way. 1 hour ago, Muttley said: Well, when you put it that way... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canuck #12 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 1 hour ago, Muttley said: Interesting. I noticed they made sure not to include any clips of players who might be at risk of not making the opening night roster, meaning clips of players who could be fighting it out to make the 4th line or the 3rd D pairing, but they did include a couple of Hoglander's clips. Does this mean he's been in their plans to start the season all along? Is his placement on the Aman-Karlsson line only a ploy to get his butt in gear? If so, it seems to be working, at least if you listen to Boudreau today. I'm thinking he makes the team, at least as the 13th forward. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also injured enough the last 10ish games, that he required surgery this summer. The only times Demko struggled over a stretch of games (twice) was when he was playing through an injury. I think if healthy he will be in the running for a vezina. Hopefully, Spencer can play like he did last season, so we can keep Demko rested and healthy. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Spencer can play like he did last season, so we can keep Demko rested and healthy. well being fatigue also leads to higher chance of injury. his march GAA 3,4,3,4,2,3,1,6,3,3,1,4 he had 3 great games and the rest were borderline bad to really bad which i blame to fatigue. his last 3 games in april was atrocious partly due to injury and fatigue sv% below .850 in all 3 games with gaa of 4,5,5 demko will only be in the vezina if he stay fresh enough to last the season. he started 61 games played in relief in 3 + the all star game so he played 65 games last season which is almost double his career high. ideally i would play martin every 4th game and back to back.. this should keep demko relatively fresh even if it puts him at around 55-60 games. far too many games where demko would play 10 before halak plays 1 game.. sure you want your goalie to be in a groove but at the same time you run fatiguing him before the end of the season and for the stretch run also you have your backup goalie coming in ice cold which was the case with halak.. if you play demko 3 martin 1 and slightly adjust for upcoming back to back.. that would put demko at 60 martin at 20+ with a few back to backs. which is the perfect scenario for workloads.. until demko proven he can play more than 40-50 games at high level without fatigue that should be the route to go Edited September 24, 2022 by wai_lai416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
