I’d give JT a few more games to get his sh*t together but if he continues to be careless with (and without) the puck I would give him at least a little holiday from the centre position. I think the prevailing thinking was JT would transition to the wing as he aged out….who knew this process might be happening 4 games into his new mega contract! Ah, the travails of Canuck fandom. Holding him accountable helps with the rest of the team though. If he can't handle it, we have bigger problems on our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JT has no place on the PK and no place in OT 3 on 3; too slow, stays in the O zone too long and is prone to the bad pass to the other team. PK I agree. 3 on 3 I think he still deserves time there, but I’m open to changing my mind on that. Look, Bo broke out of his lacklustre play with a great performance and JT is just as capable of doing so. I hope it happens and with Bo I hope that last game will be more representative of his form moving forward. Not sure I’ve ever put as much stock into Game 5 of a regular season as I am tonight. Must watch TV. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathancanuck Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 First 3 lines are nice but we're missing the Motto line.. Don't get why they didn't qualify Highmore and Lammiko around league minimum.. Motte - Lammiko - Highmore or even Highmore - Lammiko - Lazar would be a nice 4th line that can pk and take on some tough minutes.. Aman could've stayed 1 more year in the AHL, and Joshua is useless so far (and per cap friendly weighs less than Highmore 188 or Motte 192 as he's listed at 183..) Almost sure having a 4th line like that would have won us at least 2/4 so far.. We either need a 4th line that can take over some shutdown minutes or a 3rd line shutdown centre (something like Sutter or Bonino in their prime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to be yet again one of those "big guys" that are friendly giants. It's funny because a lot of those guys would be in the NHL on a regular basis if they just understood their assignment properly. Hit and then fight when called upon.

Locke Lamora Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 The who-gets-benched talk is fine and all but the most straightforward path to a win in this game is a return of vintage Demko. Not sure he’s made an appearance as of yet. And yes, I realize he’s been left hanging out to dry far too often. But he’s talented enough to overcome that to a degree.

I was onboard to trade Garland before, but after watching him this season, he's been one of the grittiest, fastest, skilled players out there, always creating scoring chances and drawing penalties. He's got a good cap hit too and some term. Won't back down from anyone. Got a feeling they may move on from Kuzmenko, actually. I wonder if he's part of the problem in the room. Just a hunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But being selective in who’s accountable seems to be a bad culture. JT will improve, but he needs something to snap him out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
