CanucksJay Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Timråfan said: Can we get back to this discussion when the season has started and we know how BB thinks? Agreed. I have enough faith in BB. He's already praised Hogz for coming into camp ready and identified him as one of the best players out there. When he is trying prospects with guys like petterson, I feel like he just wants to see what some of the prospects have. I would surmise that as we see cuts made and the team narrowed down to its final iteration, we'll see Hogz in the top 9 with better talent (especially with Brock and Ilya injured) Liked what I saw in Dakota last night. He could have pummeled the other guy but let him go and grabbed him instead only to have the dufus cheapshot him when the linesmen was holding them. Dakota let him know about it. He has that toughness and cool factor to him similar to that attitude Bieksa had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bishopshodan Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2022 There was a lot to like last night. Kuz and Joshua were highlights for me. Seeing decent movement on the PP and being reminded of how talented Hughes, EP and Miller are was also great. Gonna be a good season. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care, I don't need to see 110% in game 3 of the pre-season. I liked most of the big picture stuff, and did like the OEL-Hughes experiment. Poolman is such an anchor... really don't know what we can do with that. I don't care about the outcome, but i do care about the process. Bad habits are hard to break and they've been outworked in all three games after preaching all summer about how they're going to be a relentless, hard working team There should be concern there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're making too much out of it but we'll see what the effort is like next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what everyone said after last week too. Again, I don't care about wins and losses, but a poor work ethic os a hard rut to get out of.

Vets treat preseason games as shinny with the occasional hit thrown in, why does this have to be explained? That's not the only thing Pearson has done, he's overated here, sure he's produced getting top six mins but he's being replaced with younger more talented players. time to stop the man crush and move on. Rather trade Garland? Or Boeser? No, Pearson is easily replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad habits are hard to break and they've been outworked in all three games after preaching all summer about how they're going to be a relentless, hard working team There should be concern there I somewhat agree with you. I would like at least the final 2 to 3 games to be played like a regular season game with full effort. Hard to judge the team when prospects are mixed into the lines and we are playing our AHL goalie. The games that matter are the 2 oilers preseason games and the final one against Arizona. The Canucks better not squeak out a win against Arizona. They need to at least go 1-1 against Edmonton in a hard fought series and then run a tight system where they look super polished against the Coyotes. Anything less and I would say the Canucks are not much better than last year both mentality wise as well as skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He produces, he plays on the boards, he can play a playoff style game, and he compliments every single one of our lines. He can PP, PK, and create space for our stars. He's not untouchable, but he's an extremely valuable player to us. We have these discussions every september and then by december those talks quiet down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been three games and they've been outworked in all three and after each game it's the same "we can't be outworked anymore". Here it's "well it's just preseason" or "they don't have their real lineup out there", but that applies to all times and I guarantee the flames and kraken feel good outworking the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be a vicious lot. Would probably take back that generous "handsome coach" rating we gave him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I felt the first period was good. The team let off the gas in the second. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeQuinnAndEggs Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Do people think we are going to go 7-0 in the pre season, 82-0 and then 16-0 to win the cup? Get the losses out of the way now. I see lots of positives. We will be miles better than last year. And will most likely be a wild card team but very well could be top 3 in the div. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I was expecting a more dominate performance from miller he was a non factor most of the game. Pearson was pretty bad Poor effort even for the preseason. But EP demko Kuz didn’t disappoint. I also liked Lockwood Joshua Burroughs rathbone made some great plays aman karlson were noticeable for good reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
