Post-Game Talk: GAME #49: Canucks def. Sabres - 4-3 (Edler, Baertschi, Boeser, Eriksson) - Demko 1st Star, 36 saves

I think Goldy should draw in more when one of our top offensive players is out of the lineup. He could really help the first power play unit and provide more line combinations with baer, bo, and boeser.

The Tortorella dressing-room incident was five years ago today.

Goldobin isn't a world beater, but he should be in over the likes of Schaller or Granlund.

 

[geebaan]

I see Goldy out again.

Schaller over Goldy. Its like Tanner Glass over Raymond lol.

The Tortorella dressing-room incident was five years ago today.

Say what you will about the team/lineup at that time, but can you imagine if that happened today and Pettersson was the rookie lining up at center for the Canucks? Who's our Bieksa who would take over the faceoff duty to protect him?

 

[member 290103]

Agreed although he was such an entertaining cluster**** lunatic that I remember some of that era fondly even though it was the complete collapse and the beginning of a dark age we're still suffering through.

It wasn’t dull, that’s for sure.

 

[LuckyDay]

You mean Perrault vs Tallon ain't going to happen tonight?

BTW, what time's the game. The vs. Sabres means its away right? I am a cave man. Your ways frighten me.

Granlund is no world beater either...He was good last game though, goal and assist, and looked good on PP2 (which was better than PP1)
There's more of a chance of Goldy blowing his coverage and conceding a goal, than him scoring...especially without Pete in the lineup.

What part of dog house do you not understand?

 

[Javaman]

God that's an ugly looking starting lineup, especially the forwards. The first line is fine, but after that, it's hard to figure out who will be dragging down whom.

There's nearly $10M invested in the 4th line...

[ErrantShepherd]

I guess that just added to the perception of our market as a Goalie Graveyard for years?

Canucks Vs means a home game. Tonight is 7pm PST start.

Canucks @ means an away game.

I guess Corey Schneider is the only goalie to reach elite status in almost 50 years of drafting by the Canucks..?

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

He was the first established starting goalie the Canucks had drafted in their history, as far as I know.

That’s horrendous. Looks like maybe we’ve turned it around with Schneider, Demko and DiPietro in fairly recent history.

 

[absolute garbage]

Should be able to catch the last period or so driving back from Tulsa. I have plans to continue the corruption of my son.

Hey that's awesome. Have a great night. Beats watching a hockey game!

 

[mossey3535]

Welp, thank god Demko is playing, because with no Goldy and no EP and Boeser looking healthy but useless lately, I wasn't really excited about watching this team.

Hope he has a great game, but even though it's Buffalo it's not a gimme win.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I'm a big DP fan. There's something special about that kid. If his size doesn't hold him back, he could be a gamer. Although I most realistically see him turning into a Johan Hedberg journeyman, but that's still a good thing to have. I hope he makes it.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Sorry to ask a dumb question but Roussel is now on the top line? How did that happen and how is that working out?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He plays up and down the lineup. I’d liken him to Alex Burrows pre-Sedin-linemate years. He can play spot top six duty and not look out of his place due to his hustle and puck retrieval. But he’s best suited to being in a checking line / defensive line.

So beautiful it brings a tear to my eyes

Brings tears to your eyes forsure..dreadful.

 

[VancouverJagger]

At least with Demko playing tonight I will have a reason to watch the game. Geezus - no Pete and my enthusiasm level plummets.

That and the guy closest to EP in the Calder Dahlin...........which brings up an interesting question. Dahlin or EP? Damn that would be hard to choose although at this point I'm taking EP over damn near anyone (I'm a tinnnny bit biased though.....)

I'm excited to see that. My only conception of Canucks Roussel is a coming off injury rather invisible pest. But I'll be glad to watch him tonight and see what he looks like now.
