Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Preds - 5-2 | De(Smith)nied | Pettersson, Aman, Hoglander, Suter, Blueger

[ChilliBilly]

well that was a complete joy. Sure 7 - 0 would have been nicer, but many were on edge about this one and the way the Preds have been playing. As someone else said, all in all that was a damn near a perfect road game against a pretty good team, that has been on a roll.

Whee.

Ouch, I tried to jump on the bandwagon, but there was no room! ... This just isn't fair, I never jumped off the wagon, I just needed to refill my drink and take a piss, and now there is no room.

Doesn't seniority count for anything?

Oh, and I have never left the wagon ... thought dim Jim brought me close a few times.

Suter isn;t the long-term solution

you need to trade Kuz for someone who's more skilled than Suter

Exactly. You don’t have over $5m sit in the box because you don’t like him. It’s RT’s job to get him going. He helps EP more than I originally thought ie when Kuzy is on his game going back to last year.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Kuz and a 1st for Hanifin cowards!!!!

Kuz and a 1st for Laine

Im dead serious, find a way to fit the cap

Laine on a good team will be unstoppable

 

[dealwithit]

Hard to argue with Kuzy getting benched when your depth scorers like Aman, Hoggy, Suter, and Blueger are popping off

 

[Shareefruck]

Suter isn;t the long-term solution

I just mean short term, it really throws a wrench into things. I think it might be unlikely for Kuzmenko to get a shot on the top 9 any time soon, nor does he have much of a chance of doing well on this particular 4th line that he's left with.

unfortunately, judgin by recent resutls

it seems like it was Kuz holding back EP

I got my first warning since 2016 for calling avs fans insecure because they come from a small market team. The main boards are fun

I need some soldiers on the main boards. You will report to @jackjohnson.

Remember, any time you encounter Avs fans, remember to bring up Hughes and then gaslight them into thinking they’re the ones who are obsessed and insecure.

Well yes the current version of him. But last year’s duo and version of EP was much better.

 

[jackjohnson]

I hope Kuzy gets back to scoring. I miss his smile. Although Tocchet is the man so can't question his decision on scratching Kuzy, he needs to play better.

They are insecure though, the legit have a thread near the top about Hughes. It's typical small market insecurity. They are #obsessed

Shouldn't it be Kuz for Laine and a 1st?

 

[andora]

yeah no shit.. yeah kuz is getting his butt kicked so he forechecks more yet laine? laine's a dud and has the charisma of curtain

A 7-1-1 record in December is crazy. For all the talk of their hot start, they went 6-2-1 in October and 9-6-0 in November. So this is already the 2nd best month of the season with the potential to surpass October by a large margin.

I had them going 6-4-2 this month and they needed to go 6-5-1 to keep pace. They've already blown the doors off both of those.

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

Hawks win! WOO!

Hawks win! WOO!

Bedard already helping Vancouver

I’ll rather give EP a better linemate

We still have Soucy waiting to come back

thats a good point but defensively im not sure tochett would like laines game

 

[Vector]

Also, all these wins this month are very important. They have a 7 game road trip in January that includes a back-to-back and no two-day breaks.

Blues - 5pm
Devils - 4pm
Rangers - 4pm (1st game of b2b)
Islanders - 4pm (2nd game of b2b)
Penguins - 4pm
Sabres - 1pm
Blue Jackets - 10am (this is a Monday?!)

what happened to @McJedi telling us we needed to add to move Boeser. I miss his posts when i can use a laugh. And Hughes is 4pts clear of Makar now

Now everyone else wishes we were)

Amazing win. Every line got a goal, every D pair looked great, Hughes was amazing. DeSmith is one of the best backups we've had in years. I still can't believe we just walked into one of the hottest buildings in the league and tossed them aside like that. I was not expecting this coming into the road trip

 

[sting101]

I hope Kuzy gets back to scoring. I miss his smile. Although Tocchet is the man so can't question his decision on scratching Kuzy, he needs to play better.

He will he just has to learn that he cant just rely on being an offensive player and needs to buy into defense.

Watched at local pub well played road game this team is looking good )
