2014 Canucks Training Camp (Mod Post 426)

[GrogZilla]

Gaunce played LW a fair bit in Erie, did he not?

He played a lot of LW for the Bulls before being traded to Erie.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

no.



assigning him to juniors now so he can get the playing time he needs=regretting taking them?

Gaunce had a look on the wing in Erie though right?

Nothing wrong with having Gaunce play the wing. He can always move back to center once he's more comfortable with the speed, skill, size of the pro game.

Disappointing training camp in the sense that normally, the most enjoyable thing about it is coming in to read page long breakdowns about which players stood out from posters who watched. Without that stuff, it seemed kind of pointless to even talk about it.

You'll see these when the exhibition games start.

 

[King EK65]

How has Kenins looked? Will he actually play?

He'll be in preseason action, tonight.

I remember that we used to get both. The preseason games I can watch myself and have my own opinion

In the meantime we have no idea who's been showing well, other than offhand comments by Desjardins who is just going to say good things about everybody

I'm not sure why either. The pre-season was up in Whistler as opposed to Vancouver so maybe that's it. We used to get people going down to the arena to watch the scrimmages and give a summary of what they saw.

Any word on today's cuts? I heard that multiple players were being talked to by coaches, getting their walking papers.
Cederholm just tweeted he is on his way back to Portland.

 

[polarbearcub]

So I guess subban has been cut?

Was hoping they gave him Another game at least.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I don't know. Something to be said for ending his tryout on a positive note.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Honestly I feel bad for Subban. Good of him to take the high road but it sucks that his first pro goal is even marred by nonsense like that.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Subban cut before Andersson?

He was never going to crack the roster but come-on.

All the cuts haven't been announced... So far we know subban and cederholm

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Andersson was cut too.

Edit - No wait, that was Cederholm.

 

[Steveorama]

Probably more important that Andersson learn the Canucks' new systems, since Subban cannot be called up this year, while Andersson might be.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

I'm surprised by the Subban cut, I only seen the third last night, but when he has the puck in the O zone, he looked like he made it hard for the opposition Seems like a premeditated cut, I hate those.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Probably more important that Andersson learn the Canucks' new systems, since Subban cannot be called up this year, while Andersson might be.

But Andersson should be waaaaay down the pecking order.

Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler (when not taking pucks to the face)-Tanev
Sbisa-Stanton
Weber
Bobby Spaghetti
Corrado
Lu Biega
Andersson

 

[gobi]

I don't understand why Subban was cut. He had a good game yesterday. Not sure what sort of message this sends him.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Because he wasn't going to make the team and his Junior team is already playing games that matter and needed him back?

"...while Andersson might be."

Never going to happen unless every Comet is on IR.

 

[Bankerguy]

Honestly...i've always seen Gaunce as a better winger than centerman.
He's strong along the boards..i noticed it this time last year.
Horvat, Cassels and McCann are players that IMO are better at C then at W (each for different reasons).

Place Huskins ahead of him also. At least Kent knows what to do and will play the man even if his 35 yr. old legs have trouble keeping up.

Then you have to place his Swedish sidekick Tommernes ahead of him also. Even he is much better than Peter. Can your stickboy skate? Just kidding, but maybe not.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Man, I honestly wonder if Bo Horvat can't be the shutdown center to play between Higgins and Hansen that we're all looking for.

Rabble rabble foot speed rabble.

There, I saved several posts worth of data. I'm all about data conservation.

(PS I like your idea)
