But it doesn’t make sense at this stage of our season to play Hughes so hard. I thought our coach was going to manage our best players minutes? I love watching us win and all but play the heck out of wolanin and some other new guys and see what we can develop. Yeah, time to play some farm depth to see if they can be a part of the team next year and give some of the injured, time to heal for next year.

Skill is skill and he will get better which i cant wait to see! Next to EP and QH, I'd say he's untouchable as well. This kid is growing every game. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in breaking Hughes' body and will. I agree. It's a result of one of the worst defenses ever assembled in NHL hockey though. Tocchet, Foote, and Gonchar, must just be shaking their heads at the incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Harold Drunken Posted February 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Beavillier - 8 GP, 4G, 3A, 7PTS - .875 PPG Horvat - 8GP, 4G, 2A, 6 PTS - .75 PPG Horvats getting all the love, but Beau has been one of our best players since he was traded here. I'm not saying they'll have a similar PPG with their new team at seasons end, but he's been a pleasant surprise and adds much needed speed, forechecking and defensive abilities to this team - 25 years old to boot.

The points are great but like you said, he adds what we have been missing(see bolded above) and that is where we make the improvement on the team. Things are moving in the right direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of moving parts, depends on what he does and what he'd want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 It's been a dog's breaky..but watching our team this season has also been a hoot! Freeken river pond hockey to the core. Next yr, Ilya Mikheyev(100%, hopefully), Beau, & perhaps depth guys like Lockwood. We're starting to build a team with speed. Be nice to finally have a squad with guys that can fly, spread throughout the lineup. EP & QH are beautiful skaters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToTellTheTruth Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Oh well it is just one game. What a fluke, two goals in the last minute or so. I wonder if Tocchet will do the same thing, leave the top guys out for over two minutes and pull the goalie for an entire game. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is probably going to win 8-10 more games before the season is over. Unless the Ducks, Sharks and Blackhawks are somehow able to beat us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 What the hell is with this 10 page pgt? Where's the love guys? What an exciting comeback last night despite the Myers Stillman disaster... RT should have played them in the final minute to secure the tank Jk I like what RT is doing... Miller bounced back and had a better 2 way game and a key assist I just hate the days when he decides not to use his brain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans are on Team Tank and it leads to not watching the game but rather just checking the scoreboard. I usually watch about ~78 out of 82 games, but I've probably missed at least 7-8 already this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 So I finally played around with the NHL lottery draft simulator. It basically told me what I already knew. It’s a crapshoot and whether you finish 2nd or 6th from the bottom the odds of getting the 1st or 2nd pick aren’t much different. The only way to seriously increase your odds is to finish dead last. Here is the deal. I tried the lottery 20 times for 4 separate teams. The Canucks who are 6th, Chicago who are 3rd, Columbus who are 2nd and Anaheim who are 1st. These are the results from 20 tries. Vancouver - 1st place once, 2nd place twice Chicago - 1st place twice, 2nd place twice Columbus - 1st place once, 2nd place once Anaheim - 1st place 4 times, 2nd place 5 times So as you can see, there wasn’t much of a difference between Vancouver, Chicago and Columbus. As a matter of fact, Vancouver landed in the 1st or 2nd spot one extra time than Columbus. However, there was a huge difference between Vancouver/Chicago/Columbus and Anaheim. Bottom line. Unless we finish dead last the chances of getting Bedard or even Fantilli aren’t much different whether you are 2nd last or 6th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
