They’re family members. I was at the bus, they were behind me waiting for him to come by. And I got to meet him too! 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new faces in the lineup have had at least some time to adjust to a new team, system, home and culture, which leads to: 2. Because they are more comfortable, they are playing with more confidence and familiarity with each other, which leads to: 3. Trusting each other on the ice and knowing they have each other's back, which leads a coordinated team effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crimson-JH Posted November 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2022 What a Knight-er I mean night! The Canucks dominated the “Glow-Up” Knights! The arena tried to get UV lights all over the place to get everything glowing in the dark, and it failed miserably. The towel are glow in the dark, but it wasn’t picking up from the lightings. Definitely one of the best game I attended and a memorable one! Got to meet Ethan Bear, Ilya Mikheyev, and my favourite guy once again, Elias Pettersson! Just before embarking upon the bus heading to a b2b game against the San Jose Sharks! 9 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Got to hope BB sticks to the same lineup and same defensive pairings for the next game and hope this win didn't take too much out of our sails. We spent a lot of time on the PP and that was as easy a win as you'll get fatigue-wise. I'd like to see OEL and Bear shoulder 20+ minutes next game, Myers and Burroughs back down to 18 and Hughes in the 22 minute range. Up front we really shouldn't be too tired, most of the game was won in the first 40 minutes and they cruised in the 3rd. No one played less than 11 minutes which is a good sign BB was balancing the lines in the third, and none of our top 3 centers played over 19 minutes. Great game management to give us a good shot tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Surprised to see the Sharks have the league's best PK at 90% which is nuts so will be a great test for our top-3 PP. Petey vs Karlsson is going to be a great matchup to watch and a unique one. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat Fingers Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Love Aman and Joshua. two excellent unheralded moves this last off season. what was the price tag on our fourth line two years ago? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me it's how clean he's been defensively,. A few goals would look nice but with the guys we have on the pp especially, his job is to get them the puck and he's doing that pretty damn well. It's funny that even tho EP only has 1 ppg how much space that threat creates for JT. We see that goal all the time Quinn to JT who's left wide open because EP gets double teamed. Then they adjust and Quinn just goes to EP and they score lol. That top unit is impossible to stop when clicking.

PPG and a plus 3 on a team that’s been bad. And he does it without a high end partner. Imagine where Hughes is now if we kept Tanev? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 tbh, Kuz and Milky were great moves too this year, Milky is a Pk fast specialist good character, ticks a lot of boxes for us, top 6 player, Kuz is cheap, Aman, Joshua, Lazar, bear all good moves, no one saw Demmer, OEL and Myers pooping the bed this bad...

Hughes carries that pairing, and that extra responsibility limits his five on five offence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Curse Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 dickie was a bad move but it allowed us to get bear who has really been a stabilizing force for now. I still think we need a 3C and two top 4 d men... good luck with that I would consider the garland for Fabbro move just to open up some cap and get out of garlands contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of teams do acquire them though via trade or free agency. Tampa won those two recent Cups with Hedman as their only drafted Dman. Colorado was able to get Toews for Makar via trade. IMHAO we only need one more D, and that’s the ideal partner for Hughes. Not too sure who that is, or what the cost would be though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He allows Hughes to play his game without the fear of a cheapshot. Everyone knows that if they try to play dirty they will have to fight and as most of the weasels in the league aren't fighters... He might have been a 7th on Tampa but he has a bigger role here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Strongest game of the year for the Canucks. The goals were almost incidental to the overall team play. That said I cannot ignore the Miller assist on Bo's goal. It was the play of the game IMHO. Strongest game of the year because of the d-side game by not just the defense but by the forwards as well. Special note to the 4th line which is playing great hockey. IMO the Canucks got a good one in Aman. Just loved Boudreau's TOI adjustments last night. Everyone should be relatively fresh for SJ. Put Martin back in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing him against SJ should help to get his confidence back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
