DownUndaCanuck Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Glad to see that there's literally no difference between coaching staff. People in the media get so worked up about systems and tactics but look - we swap from an offensive-minded Bruce Boudreau to a defensive shutdown style Tocchet and there's literally no difference on the ice. Sure, maybe it's time and Rick hasn't had enough yet, but this is exactly the same team on the ice. Great forwards up front, poor defencemen and AHL goaltending, no surprise there's no change. Do we win this game with Bo? Maybe. Got shelled in the faceoff department, I think we're going to quickly drop to worst in the league in that area soon. Didn't watch the game but how was Beauvillier? Had a dreadful stat line alongside Petey, meanwhile Kuz thrives by himself. Wasn't a fan of the player as many here were but how did he look with his big fat -2 on the top line? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Good game! Canucks played hard without Bo. For tank, one point is Okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal not pulling any punches as they drop. While I don't see Van climbing any higher than #7 I was hoping for #3. I can only hope that PA has some deals cooking which he will make quickly. Canucks have to chase the Habs downhill. The initial look at what Tocchet is doing on the d-side looks promising. That said it is premature as Canucks cannot take points. Interesting in the broadcasr last night Amber floated a possible trade of Quinn Hughes to NJD. The possible return was pretty enticing. If PA ever consider moving Hughes there would be big time interest around the NHL. That would be a monster move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't watch the game but you are saying that there was no difference on the ice? How do you know, you didn't watch the game? The stats don't tell the whole story. The Canucks looked like a completely different team in the 1st period. Forwards were backchecking, there was more urgency and speed in the game. New Jersey was lucky to come out 1-1 after the 1st. The difference in the game was 50 seconds of the second period. That's it. The overtime goal was on the PP, we should have actually had the PP but the refs blew the call. Beauvillier was flying all night. So was Podkolzin. Beau's speed was evident. Miller also had a good game. Petey should have had 2-3 points. Was probably tired from the All Star break and didn't have his legs. These are things you would have seen if you had actually watched the game. The stats didn't tell the story at all... 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if we lose all of our faceoffs for the rest of the year. We will figure it out in the summer when the new guys come in. Replacing BO's faceoffs is the least of our concern. None of New Jersey's goals came off of a lost faceoff. It wasn't as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to me. The stat I liked is that we were aggressive all night and outhit New Jersey 33-15. That's Rick Tocchet hockey. One bite at a time. We also went 3-3 on the penalty kill during regulation time, including killing a 5-3. The forwards were much more aggressive on the PK. Again, Rick Tocchet hockey. If you actually watched the game you would have seen a big difference in all of the little things. The score doesn't tell the whole story. We had a brain fart for 50 seconds in the second period when all hell broke loose. The rest of the 59 minutes of the game we looked like the better team playing a much better defensive structure.

If Petey wants to be a franchise centre then he will need to learn to take faceoffs and be at least in the 48% range, if not 50%. He can't be a true 1C if his faceoffs are in the 30's. He said in his interview with Marek and Friedman that faceoffs are the one area he wants to improve on. Knowing Petey, he will work on that in the summer. He came back from last year and has become a top two-way player now, so I have no doubt in my mind that he can learn to become a better faceoff guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToTellTheTruth Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Not an unexpected effort. Still getting a coaching bump Lots of AHL guys trying out, motivated New guy trying hard New roles from some players Stillman looked pretty good A little let down from NJD, they thought they had it won and backed off, lost momentum, just a very young team still learning. I can't believe the "moral victory" stuff from most media, starting the cheer leading already, they lost they just looked better losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed a great game. They played very well for 58 minutes. Two minutes of chaos giraffe, sloppy stillman as usual and the game looked to be out of reach at 4-1. then they stormed back! Refs screwed them over in the OT and we lost. No one is complaining here the effort level was high. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 JT Miller had a great game defensively. Corsi was terrible of course but that's what happens when you lineup against the top line of a buzzing, fast pace, possession team. Of course, not a single mention of his defensive play tonight. Do better CDC. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching what I could of the Islanders game... They are still that pure defensive 1-0 / 2-1 type team. We are the 4+ goals for and still lose 2/3rds of games He's going to know what's it's like to have fans pile on him thanks to his big contract just like Miller lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL has probably the softest shot I have ever seen, just floats them add to that his lack of foot speed, he'd be terrible for the 1st unit. I'd rather have Hughes out there. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
