Petersson is going to be our best player IMO

Gaudette

 

[Ace of Hades]

The future, leading the team currently.

Boeser is God and we are but his humble flock. We must thank his Holiness for the 2 blessings tonight.

May Brocks light shine upon you all.

 

[EpochLink]

We play better on the road, so victory is ours.

I told ya'll, I told ya'll *Does the Maury dance

Gaudette

u are absolutely foolish to think gaudette is gonna be a better player than petterson.

u lost credit.

 

[valkynax]

I told ya'll, I told ya'll *Does the Maury dance

Kinda puzzling, most other teams play better at home.

Good to see Boeser keeping it up. Let's see how he does against nasty D-men like Keith.

Meanwhile, that Albertan team is getting shredded like tissue paper.

 

[DL44]

Eriksson coming alive!!
Boeser is a snipe show!
Sedins... the one time this season i was screaming to keep em on the bench in the 3rd so they have legs tomorrow...

This team is garbage, Horvat's line is keeping this team from being Arizona bad

Jeez man...
You should look around the league.... where would Philly be without their top line... probably worse than Az.. they are a bad team... Or most teams without their top line?

We have depth to our lineup... better than most.
Sure we lack top end skill.. but we got under appreciated/under rated depth.

It will become.e more apparent to the blind as the season rolls on...

 

[Canuckle1970]

I still shake my head that we have a Brock (what a shot!) Boesser on the Canucks. It may take a few years for it to sink in.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

between Boeser and Pettersens new contracts we are going to be screwed capwise!!!!

Wait that kind of worry is years away

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Man oh man we really fleeced Calgary in that Baertschi trade.

 

[Cogburn]

So that was fun. Let's do it again tomorrow?

Twins will be gone, that's 14 mil off; Edler's contract will be done in a year and half, another 5 mil. We should be OK.

if LE can further elevate his play, his 6 mil will look less of a pain in the ass than it does now.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I still shake my head that we have a Brock (what a shot!) Boesser on the Canucks. It may take a few years for it to sink in.

Such a weird feeling. So damn happy to have a rookie of his calibre. That shot on his second goal, my goodness...

Markstrom was full value tonight. Big game from him.

 

[Soups On]

Just watched the PVR game. I'll comment on a few players however I will restrain from the BBB splurge.

Eriksson showing everyone he doesn't actually suck. He's been very good since coming back and it's good to see him get rewarded. That shot that hit the post was hot.
I don't mind the Eriksson Granlund Vanek line, there's chemistry there.

Gaunce... Is the man. He's played really well and definitely deserves some points. Those will come.

Sedin's got points and were good on the PP, but it's still sad to see they struggle with taking and receiving passes.

Virtanen was okay. I don't like him with the Sedin's. He defers to them too much.

Pouliot is coming into his own. Excellent in transition and he's definitely a higher risk player. However, he fits on this roster with his style and I like it.

Hutton was quietly solid. Anchored to Gudbranson and he still impresses me. Another player who should probably have more points. Very underrated by a significant percentage of fans here.

Gudbranson and Hutton didn't have a good possession game but Gudbranson did make some decent plays tonight and used his body to separate puck from player. A lot of things I hate about his play but I'm trying to remain impartial

 

[GetFocht]

Eriksson looks completely different since coming back from injury, looks like he is finally returning to his 55-60 point form.

 

[CherryToke]

47+6=53

 

[Yggdrasil]

47+6=53

that is interesting.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Baertschi and Boeser seem to be in a close race as to who will the be the leading goal scorer, this bodes well for our future and hopefully both keep it rolling.

Honestly I'm fine with the Vanek signing, because he's still pretty crafty and entertaining to watch, it's the Gagner signing that I'm absolutely annoyed at. He's a fringe vanilla soft player that brings nothing to the table. Considering how inept he has been on the PP, the aspect he's supposedly "good" at, his contract is horrible especially the term. I'd rather have Burmistrov.

Benning brings guys in and plans to use them in ways they were not used in their last place of lodging. Then they fail and the fan base ranks on them. Gagner is not being employed the way Columbus used him. He did have a 50 pt season. The same with Upshall. He had a great year for the Blues last season on a hard checking in your face energy line and the PK. He looked liked crap in Vancouver and St. Louis picked him back up and he is a regular every night back on the same line with the West's best team. Don't you think he could have taken a similar role in Vancouver?

I think the Canucks make a decision on how they want to play and try to put all the guys into certain peg holes. That doesn't work with a lot of players. Green is partially to blame for this as well as I believe the season philosophy is arrived at by mutual consensus.

How Gagner should be employed is of a 7th forward type, who can come in during injuries, and play on the secondary PP Unit. That should be his role. As I said before during Columbus, Gagner was extra motivated because he was looking for a contract next season and was put in a more favourable situation with a offensive team. I believe he also played with Hartnell.

Gagner signed for 3 years, this made him relax, and not seem as motivated. He doesn't have the energy and spark he had than last, plus he had luck to boot.

Benning should've signed him to a one year, if the former doesn't abide to that agreement, then look elsewhere.

What Benning did was a mistake term wise. Simple as that.

 

[Bad Goalie]

When was the last time the flyers had good goaltending the only time i can remember was with that 1 year with mason

The last year they had TOP notch goaltending was when the GM was their keeper. He won the Conn Smythe in a losing effort.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I'm glad it was you Eddy.

Me too Bro...

It was just a little awkward when you started crying.
