How did Petterson look?

Probably the best player on the ice for us.

Hard to tell. In all honestly, looked like it just knocked the wind out of him. I doubt it's serious.

Yaaa... It doesn't seem anything like a concussion or broken bones... Hope he and Boeser will be OK soon!

Who did Hogz play with? 

Hopefully Ilya is ok and will be back soon. This gives Hogz a chance to play with the big boys though. 

I'm disappointed to hear our grit guys like Lazar Dakota didn't do much. Did Dicky look better? 

I swear, we should have just signed Motte. At least we know what we are getting

He was with the same guys in training camp. Dickie looked like he does. Ineffective but I guess good defensively? Part of it might be the team in Calgary barely had any NHLers to help generate any offence. Huberdeau looked deadly out there. You can tell why he was at the top of the league last year. He demands space around him and his hands are silky. 

 

I just watched the replay of the game in Vancouver. Rathbone looked like he had a great game, so I'm not sure what others are complaining about. He played a ton of minutes, made great passes and had lots of quality shots and chances. Aside from the one giveaway where he was gassed at the end of a shift, I thought he looked like an NHL player and he'll only continue to get better. Even Woo looked quite good. He can also make great passes out of his zone to guys like Petey right on the tape. No glaring mistakes from him all game. Another year should do Woo good.

Another year for Woo ?

Guess, I taught he was ready after all those years of (quality) developement under Cull & Johnston.  Kidding aside, it seems he will be added to the LONG list of prospects, we had only read or heard about.

meh it's not like it's his first nhl game. he had 17 or 18 of them previously.. man i remember there were people last year thinking rathbone can replace hughes and we should send him packing to new jersey lol. i still think he needs couple more year in the AHL learning how to be effectively defensively before he can be in the NHL. offensively he's trying to do too much.. and he doesn't get shots thru like hughes for rebound.. defensively he's not doing much..

Yep, it was not so much sending QH to NJ as it was about the fear of him not signing. 

Last season he was clearly not ready for NHL defensively.

Mathew philips keeps burning canucks during pre season..if this guy makes it the flames that is id be worried if i was a canucks fan...he is underrated and i think he should make the flames as much as i hate calgary...the skill that kid has is proven at the all level and every level he has played...scouts missed that one..i think he could be better than gudreau..

I might not go so far as to say he had a “great game,” but agree with a lot of what you’re saying and I think that that much of the criticism in this thread is overly negative. I think Rathbone had a mixed game, plenty of good, but definitely some bad too. He’s capable of better. But it was preseason game 1 and a split squad and he played something like 25+ minutes. He showed some rust (he freely admitted as much) and made some mistakes. It happens. And he certainly wasn’t the only one (and if I wanted to be negative, he wouldn’t be the first Canuck in my crosshairs, but I’m not looking for scapegoats). Jack will settle down and I expect he’ll get better as the games progress.

Quote:

Bruce Boudreau two months earlier amid a 16-game scoring drought that frequently had him playing single-digit minutes on the fourth line.

"Not an easy season," Podkolzin said. "But that's what I need for first season. I got really hard work in this summer to be ready for  second season. More skating, stronger shots, play stronger on the wall. Just play way smarter.”

[Hairy Kneel]

I think a lot of our players, rookies included, will bounce back from this loss. This shows how hard it is to come into camp both physically and mentally.  I'm glad Podz dropped to us. In Van you could see that was a Sutter team, they want to beat you in the alley and on the ice. So I see our first team regulars being able to handle that and more. I hope this is the last split squad this pre season.
