Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Wild - 5-2 (Pettersson x2, Virtanen, Granlund, Hutton)

[Icebreakers]

Worst winger depth in the league

 

[CherryToke]

Hard to disagree with Liepsic being scratched but Schaller on the top line? Ok then.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Worst winger depth in the league

Agreed. Brock Boeser (not an encouraging start tho) and that’s it. To a much lesser degree Sven Baertschi & Nikolai Goldobin. That is all the skill we have on our wings, yikes!

A fiesty elite high skilled scoring winger is this teams greatest need. Either Horvat or Pettersson have to play with garbage because of the lack of talented winger depth.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Glad Leipsic’s sitting. He darts around the ice and accomplishes nothing. Has seemingly no concept of how to work with linemates and is terrible in his own end.

 

[yvrtojfk]

I'll be at the game. Hoping for a stone cold stunner of a loss but points by Elite Pete please.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

As useless as Eriksson is, he seems to gel with EP, would like to see that line back together.

Schaller/Gaudette - Horvat - Boeser
Goldobin - EP40 - Eriksson
Roussel - Sutter - Virtanen
Motte - Granlund - Gaudette/Schaller

 

[y2kcanucks]

5-3 Canucks, goals by Eriksson, Gudbranson, Poo, Schaller and Clamato Man

Who the hell is clamato man?

Who the hell is clamato man?

I think he means Motte. Boy oh boy...

 

[krutovsdonut]

Brendan Leipsic sits tonight..Not sure what I think of his play..A lot of show,but no go..He is capable of scoring highlight reel goals,but 90% of the time he just blends in with the meh.

he is constantly losing an edge or the puck while trying to do too much too fast. he needs to find a way to play within himself. right now he reminds me of steve kariya.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I think he means Motte. Boy oh boy...

which to me is a very weird dated reference for a supposed high school kid.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Worst winger depth in the league

We could have the worst depth in the league in every position.

 

[krutovsdonut]

These are some remarkably awful lines.

The first line is awful. The second line is pretty good, Goldobin hasn't scored but I think he's been unlucky. Roussel is on a 3rd line in the NHL. 4th line has Granlund and a 6m player.

Absolutely brutal.

i find the idea of stripping horvat of effective wingers after he had two solid games in a row with boeser to be weird as hell.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I like the idea of putting Gaudette on the wing and riding shotgun with Bo. Hopefully they can develop some chemistry.

Looks like Green is trying to create a 'heavy line'...Schaller did get 12 goals for the Bruins last year,so he does have some offensive instincts...Probably be a good forechecking line.

Who knows though?..Green will probably go to something else by the 2nd period.

 

[Ben White]

Who’s here for some EP hockey porn? Btw, put Eriksson with EP, he’s got some hockey IQ, might be the only skill he has left at this point but it makes it possible for him to play with EP40.

 

[brokenhole]

which to me is a very weird dated reference for a supposed high school kid.

Wonder if he knows what Motte The Hoople is.

 

[xtra]

The main point in this discussion should be that you can’t be Canadian and not know what Motts Clamato is.

The next point is how depressing the roster is. One second you look and see ok lepisic is sitting so that he can learn to do more than just dart around the ice. And then you realize with him sitting Tim scheller is on the top line....

What does this even mean lol upset about a Tomato Juice nickname joke???

He played on the top line for a good stretch of time in boston last year (IIRC), and did fairly well

 

[Knight53]

just score some goals, preferably from EP40, Boeser, Horvat, or Gaudette

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Why do people constantly need to make up nicknames for either players or lines? If it makes sense, great; if not, leave it alone.

I'm sure if these guys saw half the names given to them, they'd pass people their helmet over and tell them they need to wear it more than they do.

Side note: Let's go Wild with multiple points from the kids.

Take your antinickname tank crap to the tank thread bub

[Melvin]

It weirds me out that people put so much importance in the order that lines are arbitrarily written.

Our top line is obviously the one with pettersson. Our other three lines don't matter.

 

[y2kcanucks]

You do this with every player. You come up with these weird pet names for players that’s quite obscure.

@Zombotron why you no make GDT? We gotta read BS with tweedlem2b when I want to ignore it
