EP Phone Home Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 It was a treat to watch this legend play live last night. Still has the hands in his mid-late 30’s. It was a win-win. Team was better last night then they were in Seattle. That’s encouraging to get us out of this funky start. IMG_0736.MOV 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 How many of you would like to see Bill Brisbois get in a few more games when Hughes and Bear are ready? I've been really impressed with his game, good decisions, quick enough for the NHL game, closes gaps, and takes the body. He really looks like he's finally figured it all out. Small sample size, but I don't get anxious when he's on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has gotten so much faster than when he was a rookie and with injuries I think he is done as high end scorer. More of a Gagner type secondary depth scorer now. it might take two steps to get that RHD. Moving Brock is very likely to be part of that, and you're right the cap space and assets opens the door to something else. Right now I think the best we could get for him is a 2nd and a prospect, but that cap space is huge moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it but the Canucks have dug a pretty serious hole that will be extremely hard to dig out of and unless they go on an amazing roll like last year - their season will be over very soon. Sad but True! You can Blame JR, and our inexperienced "Rookie" G.M. Alvin & "The Chipmunk Girls" too if that happens - for their inability to correct all the weaknesses they pointed out themselves in April that they said needed fixing (Too slow, Too small, Bad zone exits, Terrible defence, No grit and No size) As a wise man has said: Just win the week. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to not have to ride Hughes as much when he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the way he has been starting the season, there is no way, he'll sign for less than Miller if this continues. Fun fact, Bo is actually the train that allows Miller to express himself.... almost like a dad. I do think, or can easily see Brock being the trade chip, once the trade game starts. I don't really see which line he improves? Peteys line is looking really good, and now Bo's line is looking good as well and two bottom lines that actually competes. He could play with Petey, I guess, but tbh I really want a real top 4 rhd. Some how. Anyway thats for another day. Just happy to see inspired and committed hockey again... With this attitude there is zero chance they'll blow it up.... with this attitude AND commitment. Lets see how long it lasts. Boesers a goner.

Me too...would like to see more of him. With bear coming in Hughes coming back , it’s a little different dynamic to have some positional competition after preseason. Knowing Canuck luck the defense core gets healthy only to have another injury.( history). bear gives them that Experienced depth. So many variable potentials with the 3rd and 4th pairings , cap situations will dictate in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? lol! Gill or Breezer or Breeze Yeah he's smart, and quick. I really liked his gap closures. Especially on Sidney. Gill is 25 now which isn't unreasonable for a defenseman. Maybe not smart per se but savvy. He was really reading the play well. And not bad size too. Plus he almost scored in close going to the net hard.

I mean if he’s as bad as useless as 80-90% of the people here claims who’s going to take him for 3 years at 6.75mil? Unless we are planing on retaining boeser ain’t going anywhere.

Small sample size, but I don't get anxious when he's on the ice. I really liked his game. Was calm, confident, hard to play against and smart. I like how he could be a steady defensive dman. If Bear works out him and Schenn could make a good third pair I also thought Rathbone looked like he was holding his own. left D slowly becoming a strength 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will touch that even with a 1st rounder with 2more years after this. Like you guys keep saying how bad useless etc he is.. so other teams are blind? They don’t see the same thing we see? This is not an expiring contract people need to stop thinking you can magically just dump almost 7mil for multiple years on to other teams.. you guys can’t keep trashing on a guy and then at the same time say some other team could use him lol. A team as bad as the canucks are right now is too good for him.. so what team is desperate for boeser? You are attaching multiple pucks and or prospect just to move 2 years of boeser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 37 minutes ago, -DLC- said: Funny, I almost typed something comparing him to Edler last night...but sleepy Edler. I'm usually on the OEL bandwagon but the past two games he's made quite a few gaffs. As you say, he's a no flash responsible d man but maybe overuse is creating some fatigue as he kind of zones out at times. I'd imagine it's that as I haven't noticed anything that stood it prior...he's been fine. Like a simple hold at the blue line (all players will have it bounce over their stick at times though). But I've noticed him more the past two games, and not in a good way. Overall, yes....I'm on the pro not con side with him. I guess, for me, JT's glaring gaffs are constantly mentioned but other players will have their own struggles and not always be "on"...they're human beings afterall. I did have a moment toward the end of the game where I celebrated a big/good play he made, so he redeems himself. I don't feel this is a constant issue with OEL but he's definitely shown signs over the past 2 games of being tired. Which is why it'll help if we get some help on d. But I feel the Edler comparison is a good one. There is no way oel is playing healthy so im not going to knock him. Its obvious his skating has been completely off since at least game 1 of the reg season. If he is in fact playing thru an injury, hes a trooper. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smart player who reads the game well and plays within his abilities. I was surprised that he got the call-up over Wolanin, but can see why now.
