He was holding to ozone line well and moving the puck very well. There are new bodies coming into the lineup and returning injury players. I am hoping that Rathbone stays in for 20 games so that we can get a better idea of his potential. Some fans want to trade him but that is a tad quick as we haven't seen enough of him. Everytime I look at Florida I groan over how well Forsling is playing. Yeah, he looked really good to me too. Totally agree. Would not trade that kid, he has the potential to make a move like that look very short sighted. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Rathbone is benefiting from Hughes being out, at times he looks like he's all over the ice out there!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen lots of guys on our farm that I thought for sure would make, only to flop once they get to the NHL. Darren Archibald was a big one for me. He was everything to Utica, but every time he played on the NHL he looked like a shell of what he was in the AHL. Some guys just can’t break through that barrier. I think part of it is mental as in confidence and drive, but a lot of times it’s just the talent level isn’t there and that’s hard to train into a guy…by the time some of these long term prospects are ready they have aged out, coaches or management or both have changed, and the opinions on the player himself has changed and then boom they’re 25 and done, stuck as a tweener in the AHL or off to Europe they go. Still great hockey players, just got lost in the mix of things and took too long to develop. when you're trying to be the best 700 or so at anything on the planet its going to be hard. Yeah I remember the DA hype, he was going to be our toughness answer too ah well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap space,.alone will help the team improve; and honestly, even IF they get in, do you really see this roster winning a cup vs another playoff fodder ? The chasing a playoff strategy persist vs creating a cup team. Anyways, happy for the team - take the win We can’t find a top 4 dman right now; why would we trade our 1B guy right now? Go look around the league; OEL is not overpaid in a world where nurse makes 9.5m! And the fwd group we are icing right now is very good. If creating a cup team involves dismantling all of our good players, that makes no sense. Edited October 29, 2022 by BC_Hawk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw last night how good our club looks when our goalie is better than his opposite. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In't he something??? Gotta give credit where it’s due, this is the guy we were all expecting. He was an absolute thorn in Crosbys side last night, I loved it! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge deal, but people have to take it for what it is. Bo is the opposite; not too high…not too low. Perfect captain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Good night out for sure. A number of things stood out to me Jarry who I really like played deep in his net all game long OEL was likely the worse D'man, alway second to the puck he looked slow Horvats goal of the wing reeked of confidence, a great shot. Brisebois looked like he belonged. The physicallity of the Canucks I think maybe surprised Pitts, keep it up 0 0 REPLY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, I really like the Bo and JT line. Two tough point producing dudes that can win face offs and Garland buzzing around like a maniac. That line has the potential to give many teams absolute fits. Yup, Bo and Miller work very well together and it makes the manuafactured “conflict” between them all the more hilarious. In Bo you have that goal-scoring C who is also a face-off whiz, and then you have Miller who can pop goals too but also has a bit more playmaking….and is no slouch on face offs either. Those two are a tough bit of business for other teams to handle….and Garland in there creating chaos just works. And don’t forget that Bo and Miller are heavy players, both around 215 pounds. More and more it seems like Brock is the odd man out, which is tough to say because I like the person and the potential he has as a player. But unless some organization out there is absolutely in love with him and can overlook his recent form, and injuries (again!)….I think he’s tough to trade. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a pouter means he's feeling sorry for himself and I don't think that's the case. He's pissed off when he checks out. It's an issue...we know it, he knows it. But I don't think he's pouting...he's "stewing" and often that leads to good things after the fact. Fires him up. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One feather in my cap was Burrows. Watched him on the Moose, then get called up for 4th line duty. His first game for the nucks I knew we had something special there. His awareness for the game to me was off the charts. I didn’t think he would peak the wsy he did tho! I thought solid 3rd line winger, momentum changer kinda guy…not 1st line magic man who would stir the twins drinks for years to come lol. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to be wrong about Brock….but it’s up to him to make me wrong, and he hasn’t really shown signs of doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
