Post-Game Talk: GAME #61: Coyotes def. Canucks - 3-2 (OT) (Horvat, Gaudette)

[Blowfish]

How has Spooner played? Some of us bruin fans liked him...The Debrusk Krejci Spooner line looked more dangerous than Debrusk Krejci Nash.

Hoping he turns it around. Good kid.

One game and pretty much invisible so far.

Then you don't know what you're watching.

Spooner made some fantastic quick passes and seemed to be a fantastic addition to the first line at times.

I'm not going to be pollyannaish and say that we have found a top 6 forward. But, with our lack of depth, he brought a needed element. I predict he goes on a good run with us down the stretch just like he did with the Rangers awhile ago.

Often you'll see that with "new" players on a team. See Motte. Then they inevitably fall back down to earth. Vanek's contributions to the Blue Jackets after being traded there was one of the main reasons they were able to make the post-season.

Even if that happens, Canucks "win" the trade as we get a guy on either the parent club or the Comets whereas Gagner was only going to play for the Comet's competition.

I know exactly what I'm watching. The same thing we've seen before with the standard retreads.

You must have some seriously lame fantasies.

By the time Spooner goes the way of all the other "amazing" retreads, they will be going the next one. You can't win.

So if he scores 40 and is the direct cause of 60 against, you wanna pay him 8M?

I would say $7M is the number and he doesn’t come remotely close to causing 60 against. I have a news flash...defensive responsibilities as a winger are very rudimentary. The D and centre do the heavy lifting in the D zone. The winger’s sole responsibility in the defensive zone is to neutralize the D on his side. Yes Boeser isn’t going to win a Selke any time soon, but his job is to produce offensively and he has been incredibly efficient at doing so in his young career.

If you think that Spooner was invisible (or whatever you said), then you don't know how to watch hockey.

Brock Boeser is a +12 on this team.

Thought Spooner looked pretty good first game was faster than Gagner and battled more than I expected. I have very low expectations for him but he is getting a large opportunity so he could surprise.
