Ok, if the Canucks can play defence like they did tonight, they look way better. I've not seen them forechecking, blocking shots, doing the right things in a long time.

Hell even Stillman looked decent at times.

 

Nope can't figure this team out either.

 

Merry Christmas everyone on CDC.

No kidding. One of the best games defensively that they've played in awhile.

 

 

Merry Xmas everyone!

And we have him for max what....like another 3 and a half months? Right on. Just in time for his prime . This is not good news for us. 

 

Every stat like this should just drive it home even more as to the uselessness of the group " guiding " this ship.

Delia is quite a bit shorter than Demko... 6' 2" compared to 6' 4".  Martin is 6' 3".

 

Delia does have a heavier build... which is not always an advantage for a goalie.

Seeing him being handed the belt tonight. he's built like a &%$#n linebacker. That may give him a big look in net. The top of the net is only 48".

He plays with an almost layed back, quiet confidence like you see in Demko when he's at his best.  Spencer can be great technically. But he's more jerky. Not saying he's from the Jerk Store. Nevermind.

Delia was great!  Havent seen 5 defenders inside dots in a long time.. great team effort on D tonight!  Surprising

There were times where it looked like Bo was a defenseman. He played a good game.

For all the crap Myers takes, of our regular D, Myers(+3) and Schenn(+4) are our only + defenceman OEL is the worst at -11. Considering how much Myers has been cursed with being paired with OEL, that is even more remarkable. Somebody around the NHL will notice that and take him off our hands. Big, RHD, positive plus minus on a poor defensive team and getting most of the shutdown pairings. No longer a big multi year contract - that combination is a big plus. 

Myers and OEL have hardly been paired together this season. Less then 200 mins in 33 games. 
 

Also, OEL’s +/- has been a victim of poor goaltending. There have been quite a few weak goals going in this season, that is purely on the goalies. Sure he gets in trouble from time to time, but its nowhere near as bad as you think.
 

 was not OELs fault for the 2nd goal against, he made a good play to get the puck up the wall, Horvat took 0 strides and coasted, Edmontons dman skated and beat Horvat to the puck, kept the puck in and next thing you know, the puck is across to the other side and then sent backdoor to McDavid. OEL was tied up with Draisaitl after making the play to get the puck to an area where we should have won the race and got the puck out.
