Pre-Game Talk: Boeser Back @ Buf : Oct 19, 2021

[Sedinery]

How long before Green realizes the lineup needs Lockwood?

 

[Slapshot_11]

Get pearson outta the top 6

 

[Bankerguy]

Dowling is on line 3. Not sure that makes it a scoring line. Especially with Podz who is still finding his way in his rookie season.

Agreed. Thats why i think they want hog or garland playing with Jt.

 

[Tact]

Petan should draw in with Miller-Podkolzin if they’re going for a scoring line.

Absolutely zero idea how to get the most out of players and create roles.

 

[Nucker101]

I give that 3rd line two games max before Green breaks it up.

I give that 3rd line two games max before Green breaks it up.

Bigger question is what version of Boeser will we be getting after a such long layoff.

Boeser with a depressed first step is not an effective player... You just are hoping for flash offense with nothing much in between.

I think the coaches are expecting something like that, hence going with a little more consistent energy player in Hoglander to start over jumping straight back to Miller/Lotto line.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I give that 3rd line two games max before Green breaks it up.

I doubt it lasts through the next game

 

[Melvin]

Nice time to get that first regulation win

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Buffalo undefeated in their first two games

Well that’s obviously because they have been able to avoid Jim Benning led teams right?

 

[sting101]

Stoked to get our top scorer from last season back and i like that Miller is going to C to get him moving his feet. Just hope he can be effective enough (not making stupid turnovers and getting caught cheating) that we dont have to abandon the balanced attack 5v5 after a couple periods or so.

He did a good job getting Virtanen going enough to be in the top6 for stretches in his first year. I bet Podkolzin will be a better pupil but admittingly he is still very young and a work in progress

 

[RebuildinVan]

Nice time to get that first regulation win

Thats what was supposed to happen in Detroit

 

[LordBacon]

When you’re losing games,
and it don’t look good
Who you gonna call?
Brock Boeser!

Alright I’ll show myself out.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Looks real gud up front.

 

[DFAC]

Brock confirmed back?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

One of those games that you can’t help but be scared of the thought that your team might screw up and lose

Good thing the Canucks and TG never screws up.

 

[Cheeks Clapinski]

Any word on who gets the crease tonight?

 

[tantalum]

Any word on who gets the crease tonight?

It'll be Demko unless he is sick or hurt. Halak played last game.

Bigger question is who gets the blame for the too many men on the ice penalty tonight?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Brock Boeser. Good to have him back.

 

[krutovsdonut]

hughes missing practice means no progress on the pp. i would not expect him to need rest this early, but he has been playing lots of minutes for a guy that looks gassed all the time.

glad to see chiasson subbed out instead of dropped down. confirms that dowling is the placeholder for motte, which means the bottom six line without dowling in practice is the one he is working on.

so i think that miller/dowling/pods line is surely a first period mirage. miller is going to see way more es ice time than pods, and so will dickinson.

 

[sting101]

Is Bo playing seagull tonight
