Pre-Game Talk: Canucks @ Flames. Wednesday. SNET. 7pm

[me2]

Weber is the perfect 7th dman in my opinion. Extremely glad we have him and even happier with him sitting.

So is Bartkowski, if he sticks to his natural left side.

 

[Robongo01]

Man I'm stoked for tomorrow. So much more now that there are a good number of young and exciting players .

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

So we know the Canucks are running 4F and 1D in the 1st Unit PP. I wonder what the second unit will look like? Specifically, if Hutton and/or McCann will get a chance on it.

 

[canuckking1]

Damn Weber would have helped Horvat On the 2nd PP Unit Like in preseason

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Damn Weber would have helped Horvat On the 2nd PP Unit Like in preseason

Hopefully that is Huttons responsibility now.

If I had to guess it would be

McCann-Horvat-Burrows
Hutton-Tanev

 

[canuckking1]

McCann-Horvat-Burrows
Hutton-Tanev

What about Sven ?

 

[WTG]

What about Sven ?

Oh yeah!

Sven-Horvat-McCann
Hutton-Tanev

 

[drax0s]

Oh yeah!

Sven-Horvat-McCann
Hutton-Tanev

I... actually LIKE that second PP unit?

 

[me2]

Oh yeah!

Sven-Horvat-McCann
Hutton-Tanev

I've already trademarked that PP unit.

 

[me2]

I... actually LIKE that second PP unit?

hehe Willie will probably ice Sutter Hansen Bo Sbisa Bartkowski

 

[huntison]

Oh yeah!

Sven-Horvat-McCann
Hutton-Tanev

Sven - Horvar - Virtanen
Hutton - McCann

 

[docbenton]

Bartkowski...the moment he reaches the other team's blueline he becomes completely useless.

I don't understand why people say this, he's looked very good in all zones in the preseason. Made nice passes in the o-zone and seems to have a decent shot. Don't criticize his past numbers until he repeats them here.

 

[NuxFan09]

I take it Zombotron has his GDT ready to post in a couple hours??

 

[Ainec]

Matt Stajan is gona have another 4 point game vs Sbisa

 

[Love]

Our first unit PP should be:


Sedin-Sedin-Horvat

Vrbata-Weber


Let Vrbata do his thing on the left side, Horvat is net front presence, Sedins do Sedinery, Weber launches howitzers.

 

[Robongo01]

So we know the Canucks are running 4F and 1D in the 1st Unit PP. I wonder what the second unit will look like? Specifically, if Hutton and/or McCann will get a chance on it.

I think that's definitely one of the biggest reasons Hutton was kept around. Our second unit last year was a joke and desperately lacked a PP QB. McCann I doubt will get a look. If I had to venture a guess our second unit will look like:

Baertschi Horvat Burrows
Hutton Tanev

 

[sting101]

Weber isn't small and isn't weak. He's also our best OFD right now and our best PP defenseman. He's also more than capable in his own end

I don't understand a lot of the hate he gets.

It would make sense if Benning acquired him

 

[Huggy]

I take it Zombotron has his GDT ready to post in a couple hours??

praying for dank memes

 

[DapperZ]

It would make sense if Benning acquired him

Weber is on the roster because of his power play performance. He obviously has his flaws as does the bulk of our D. Hopefully as a unit they can improve this season.

 

[me2]

Why do people think Weber is so small? He's like two inches shorter than Bartowski, he's not Jordan Schroeder. He's also heavier than Bartowski and our supposed big, tough dman Luca Sbisa.

After being through a summer of hearing just how nice it is to a have a monstrous, physical centre in Sutter you should know many people just repeat what they hear without question.

I do NOT understand the hate for Bartkwoski. He had a good pre season and skates really well. Weber is an absolute tire fire in his own end

huh? Most people like him. Just not on his wrong side and promoted from #7 to 2nd pairing.

 

[drax0s]

I've already trademarked that PP unit.

Well I trademarked the Pizza Hut defense pair, so there. Also, you need a new avatar. Your gasoline is missing its match.

 

[valkynax]

I feel it's gonna be a 4-1 loss to Flames.

And Sutter might get punched to death by Ferland.

 

[Back in 94]

Looking forward to seeing the kids play.

 

[Intangibos]

I feel it's gonna be a 4-1 loss to Flames.

And Sutter might get punched to death by Ferland.

Do you think Benning would be willing to put him on LTIR?
