Canucks’ Troy Stecher philosophical on trade deadline buzz

 

[rypper]

I feel like we're gonna get absolutely smoked by Boston.

But in true Canucks fashion, we'll probably dominate Boston, and then put up pitiful performances against the Habs and Sens.

Even my wife, who cares very little and knows very little about hockey, noticed this the other day. She goes: "How come every time I ask you if the team the Canucks are playing are good, you say 'not really' and then they go and beat the Canucks?" haha

I’ve had this exact same exchange with my wife

I'm getting nervous about Pettersson. He cooled off so dramatically in the last half of last season, and the same thing is happening again. We've only seen him blow the doors off another team in 3 games since 2020 started, and that is a 21 game span. Doesn't seem to have that second gear for the last part of the season so he can be an effective 1st line producer. Was really hoping since we saw him play a less frantic and more reserved style this year that we were going to see him with more in the tank for the final push, but I'm not seeing it.

We don't win this game tonight if Petey doesn't dominate like we know he can, but haven't been seeing lately. Also: We'll also def need a heroic superman game out of Marky, rather than the unusual 'clark kent' effort we got last game against the Wild.

I agree on Petey. He’s not at all the same player he was in the first 20 or so games of the season and it’s back to back years wheres that’s the case. He’s falling down pretty much whenever he gets touched and isn’t producing much other than a point here and a point there.

Obviously he’s still been good, we just know how much better he can be. Hopefully he turns it around soon.

Green must be on the tank brigade. Loui in the top 6 again.

I don’t blame LE for playing like **** or with that **** contract. It’s the GM that gave him that deal and the coach that spoon feeds him ice time.

Must win game. A loss here guarantees another buy on Monday.

 

[Fire Benning]

4-3 OTL

 

[LordBacon]

Just look at that Boston line up holy shiet.
They are f**king legit alright.
We are so gonna get absolutely destroyed.

Is Kase playing?

Is Kase playing?

No, he's joining the team when they return to Boston.

Won’t be the last time I’ve been wrong.

Sadly, I think that will be their thinking. We need more rather than damn, just not good enough.

Sutter, Sven, Eriksson, Gagner, Beagle, Roussell, Schaller, Ferland. Aside from Sven who was young they’ve brought in so many vets and have failed miserably. Roussel being the best of the bunch but not doing much lately.

Simmonds would just be another body. You’d be expecting too much to think he’ll lead the team in hits each game. He’s not Clutterbuck at this stage of his career.

as for the game. Rested team on a long homestand vs a team in back to backs and 3 in 4 nights with travel. Game will be very telling of this teams character.

Coming off an injury and played at worst - what he was paid (imho) last season (at best, well worth the money spent). I cut him a significantly longer rope than the other stiffs.

A pretty solid signing so far:

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Bruins 11 wins in last 12.

4-0 loss with Marchand and Pasta scoring 2 each.

On that muy caliente note, lets all enjoy National Margarita Day - hopefully with a win, or.....

I predict Pettersson will end up injured in this game from a Marchand cheap shot and no one will come to his defense. Benning will then go all in at the deadline trying to find a new #1 center and come away with Carl Soderberg at the bargain basement price of Juolevi and a 2021 2nd round pick.
