GDT: 24/10/15 | Detroit @ Vancouver

I wonder if there is some beef between Willie and Benning. Benning wants a 4 line team but Willie refuses to play 4 lines when the kids are there.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Expecting a fat Swedish accent out of Nyquist and he sounds more North American than I do.

 

[Soups On]

~5 minutes for baevirts, most of their shifts coming off of 10 mins of sitting around doing nothing. Shame on them for not scoring on every single shift they get

I mean, a lot of the criticism towards Virtanen and Baertschi neglects the fact their shifts come VERY sparingly. How can they get in the rhythm and make an impact if they don't get icetime? Willie is useless down the bench (though he does put in a decent system).

 

[PG Canuck]

Fine is a stretch. He didn't mess up but he isn't doing much aside from taking bad angle shots and skating hard.

Hey, quit talking about Dorsett/Prust that way!

 

[Addison Rae]

Please kick the **** out of the Habs.

lol probably not.

 

[Breakers]

Exactly.


I didn't see Horvat do anything wrong there.


Vrby and Weber on the other hand...

Mike Johnson was laying into Yannick Weber hard for that change.

Your only suppose to change on D if you have possession, that is a golden rule of overtime.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Well, look who he is playing with. He has to carry every line he is put on. Put him with Hansen and we could see something here. He's in-between two guys learning the NHL game or in-between two plugs.

Very true. Call up Kenins and form the Kenins Horvat Hansen line that we all know is good.

 

[corona]

21 minutes a night for the twins is no good, last year when we started hot they were playing 17ish

I get the feeling these are "harder" minutes for the Sedins when they play with Vrbata too, they have to do more heavy lifting. I mean it wasn't bad by any means tonight, but I don't know. I'm a proponent of getting them back with Burrows.

 

[Nomobo]

Beartschi just a waste of a roster spot right now. I'm afraid Burke was right about the guy.

 

[goodluckchuck]

i was looking on stubhub and some games were as low as $25.

Now i see why. Team sucks and the arena is DEAD QUIET.

 

[CherryToke]

What in the exact **** are we doing in the third period? Preserving the lead? The ****** is that? Go for the damn jugular and score another goal.

sitting back against a team missing their top 2 dmen and 3rd game in 4 nights.. is just inexcusable. Willie needs to go ASAP.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Vrbata is just a useless hockey player right now and looks completely unhappy here. I'm saying this as one of the bigger Vrbata fans here.

 

[Peen]

Could say that about a lot of wingers.

Please

I hated prust with all my heart and life

But he is out playing virtanen and baertschi

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I wonder if there is some beef between Willie and Benning. Benning wants a 4 line team but Willie refuses to play 4 lines when the kids are there.

Benning: Play my draft picks!!
WD: Bring back Vey!
God can they just fire WD already

 

[EpochLink]

These blow 3rd period leads are concerning, thank goodness it's only October so there's **** to improve

 

[a Fool]

Detroit played like absolute dog **** for 2/3 of the game and we let them win.

All these losses don't feel bad at all though for some reason.

I think so too or if willie won't do that play sutter with them

Dude shut up, how dare you. Who wouldn't want to pay to see 4th liners double shifted in close games in the 3rd every night?

 

[Ozone]

Vrbata with a total fail of a shift. How are people blaming Horvat who blocked a shot just before that?

Exactly! Horvat might have saved a goal right there.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Wouldn't mind horvat on the 4th and mccann up with virt and sven

 

[PG Canuck]

Very true. Call up Kenins and form the Kenins Horvat Hansen line that we all know is good.

Would be possibly, but we have one unnecessary plug taking up a roster spot...from another younger and arguably better player.

Canucks hockey!

 

[thepuckmonster]

Hey, quit talking about Dorsett/Prust that way!

I'd at least rather Horvat play with Dorsett over Baertschi right now.

I'm all for youth but our second line isn't playing well enough to keep it happening. Unless they move McCann to wing and sit Barts and bring back Cracknell.

 

[WTG]

Please

I hated prust with all my heart and life

But he is out playing virtanen and baertschi

Prust is not outplaying Virtanen.

He's getting more icetime so you notice him more.

 

[Breakers]

Beartschi just a waste of a roster spot right now. I'm afraid Burke was right about the guy.

I have yet to see Baertschi win a board-battle....... & I am actually serious.

 

[DFAC]

prust and dorsett have outplayed virtanen and baertschi. you earn your icetime, it's as simple as that.

virts and baertschi look lost out there. i'd sit baertschi and send down virtanen
