Rookie goalie in first NHL game, shutout
Question on 11-7.
Something is fishy here. Boucher really does not want to play Brown and this team clearly needs another forward. Is Melnyk being really cheap here and is refusing to pay for another player, or is Dorion just a little lost at sea here?? If the plan is to send Brown back to Windsor, get it over with and call up a forward that Boucher will play.
I had thought that Dorion had stated that there would be no point in keeping rookies up if they were to only play 4 minutes a night or not even play at all.Send are essentially down two forwards to start the season. Most likely Mac and White were penciled in at some part during the summer to be regular guys this year. Both are out, and if Boucher has more trust in 7 defenders than he does in the 12th forward he's going to play the guys he trusts. Makes it unfortunate and not very good for Brown on a development level being stuck in limbo, but it happens. They need to either give him ice time here or Windsor, can't have him sitting on the sidelines doing nothing.
It was his first game as a Canuck. He's played on 2 teams before Vancouver.Rookie goalie in first NHL game, shutout
Though they didn't score, the PP looked pretty lethal in the third with EK atop the umbrella and Hoffman and Turris on either side, so that's a positive I guess.
****ty game that might have been a lot different if they were able to crack Nilsson early. Kudos to him, he played great.
Honestly the PP looked worse, far more predicatable than it did on the road trip. Good pressure sure but not alot of open looks other than Stone double clutching. Karlsson is not moving it fast enough from the top, its not like he cant do it, he can make those adjustments but it was pretty evident that was the difference. Coaching staff will need to make the adjustment.
I have some ideas for the powerplay.
We know it has been historically bad for a few years now. Karlsson has to be responsible for some of it, he has been scoring at 5v5 but his powerplay points have been mediocre compared to his peers. He is best at speed and transition, not so great when it comes to quarterbacking the PP. I say we put Karlsson on the side of the net\halfwall, where he scored from during the playoffs last year. He has a good shot and he is crafty so he would be good there. Have anyone of Chabot, Ceci, Hoffman or Wideman be the QB.
We have to address Karlsson's long standing mediocre performance as quarterback of the powerplay

Chabot over Oduya pleaseAnd Chabot. We need more gambreakers for games like last night.

he's soo productive on ES compared to his peers that it's a bit weird he doesn't have the same separation on the PP. But yes, we have to settle for one of the best instead of the best during the PP with Karlsson.How can Karlsson be considered mediocre in PPP compared to his peers?
i guess we'll get a clear idea with more games but he did look pretty good. His strength is there two chucking a few guys.EK didn't appear to have lost any speed.
Strawman argument there as I didn't says he was mediocre in terms of PPP, but mediocre in terms of Power Play points per 60 minutes.How can Karlsson be considered mediocre in PPP compared to his peers?
Since 2009-10, he's T-15th in PPP with fewer games played than most of the guys ahead of him.
If we look at it since 2013-14, he's 5th in the league.
How does that kind of production say mediocre to anyone? In both of those timeframes, he's the highest scoring defenseman in terms of PPP and without question the highest scoring defenseman period.
Very confusing statement you made.
i don't think per 60 is necessarily a good measure. He stays longer on power plays so he's pacing himself. Possession suffers because the first face-off and easiest possession represents a smaller portion of his PP. You can see how reliant the Sens are of him on the PP so he's the focal point of the opposition.Strawman argument there as I didn't says he was mediocre in terms of PPP, but mediocre in terms of Power Play points per 60 minutes.
