*Buzzsaw* Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 What the Pettersson/Pederson/Kuzmenko line showed is the type of elite passing skill the Canucks have been lacking for quite a while. Passing the puck is the best way to move the game offensively, every other team in the league seems to know this, but the Canucks have been stuck in dump and chase as the main focus ever since Green puts his cold, dead hands on the team. Maybe watching this line play can inspire Miller/Horvat/Garland/Boeser/etc. Of course we really don't know how well this line plays defensively versus a good team, but right now as long as they have the puck they are making things happen... so a good reason to keep them together. Of course they do need to sign Kuzmenko.... but maybe that will be easier if he understands his bread and butter is Pettersson feeding him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never! no chaos giraffe then its a bunch of undersized d men. canucks already have enough trouble containing opposing forwards in the D zone. I'm a Myers supporter, you can't teach size and its something that seems to be vastly over looked on cdc. remember when Tuch was skating circles around the canucks in the playoffs? myers came back, hit him once and no more Tuch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce knows they won the game only because EP40 refused to let his team to lose. Scratching Bear instead of at least 3 other dmen who should have been in the press box almost brought them another embarrassing home loss. The only line creating anything offensively was Petey line while the others were totally flatlined. An exciting performance & win by your best player tonight, but definitely something that's not gonna happen again anytime soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kragar Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Did the rule change, or am I misremembering: I thought a player in the penalty box at the end of OT cannot be one of the first three shooters for their team. was surprised Eberle got a chance then. Glad his SO goal didnt hurt anything (except Spencer's pride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eye test doesn’t lie and there’s every analytic stat to back it up how many goals has Bear deflected into his own net the last 5 games how many lost coverage goals against by bear? how many turnovers? Homer glasses exist, his mistakes are peewee level. Like it or not, Myers, Schenn, Poolman, Burroughs, Bear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defended Myers big time. I loved him in the playoffs. But the man has declined. He’s awful now. Anytime he uses his size he ends up in the box. He gives the puck away all the time and it’s a miracle when he can clear the puck. Myers sucks. Didn’t always suck imo but this year has been some of the worst defending I’ve seen. Gudbranson type sh!t. I’d rather have guddy cause he can break faces and as atrocious as his 4 million AAV is it’s 2 million better than Myers 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot play defense to save his life. Take a page from Toronto's cap circumvention playbook and send him to Robidas Island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Man, what a game. Its a shame that I'm so pessimistic about these guys that I pretty much pvr and then fast forward through the game whenever we are down. That meant I was fast forwarding lots today as we fell a goal early, and everytime we tied it, I'd watch the replay and then we let another in immediately after and I resume fast forwarding. It really sucks that in years past, a game like this would have me jumping through the roof but now, it's reduced to a 20 min condensed game. Im still in awe of Petey but I can't quite describe this new feeling as a lifelong canucks fan. I feel soulless lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everytime we score, it's knowing that the other team will come back and score that prevents me from even enjoying the present goal. So many blown leads and defensive breakdowns makes it hard to get excited even when a good thing happens on the ice. So jaded now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with Myers is he doesn’t use his size enough. His play today was not bad. I liked his reach with the stick on a back check that stopped a breakaway. I think Myers would be great if he dumbed it down a bit. Would also be good if he stayed in front of his net to clear people out or stay in front of the opposing net on power plays to screen their goalie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
