McDavid vs the Canucks

Canucks will try and fight back!

 

[M2Beezy]

Time to throw Eriksson back in there, hes a 30 goal scorer. And when on earth is Roussell and Beagle back??? The team needs their grit, leadership and experience if we are to make a serious run at getting back into the playoff picture

 

[mriswith]

McDavid needs 9 goals to catch up to Matthews for the Rocket.

Ordinarily not achievable but he gets three games in a row vs us...

Status of prediction of 3-4 wins in last 15 games this season: 0W-4L. I did predict a few wins and looking at the schedule, this needs to be a win to be on track for that 3-4 wins. So I'll call a win tonight even though it's starting to feel like we're going to run the table with zero wins to the end.

I wonder if its Boeser, then we could rock this:

Pearson Miller Eriksson
Vesey Horvat Lind
Hogg Boyd MacEwan
HighMore Graovac Hawrluk

WATCH OUT NHL WE BACK!!

 

[NoShowWilly]

Over under on mcdavid points 2.5?

 

[Three On Zero]

Mod warning longer than the game day post? Dark times ...

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

McDavid is absolutely insane. This is going to be a blood bath. If Canucks can keep it to 4 goals against then that’s a win IMO.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Looks like Sutter is out.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Over under on mcdavid points 2.5?

Definitely over

Where's Cole Cassels when you need him? (Belleville, actually.)

I totally agree. A greater veteran presence is desperately needed.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Looks like Sutter is out.

Well the slight sliver of hope I had is gone. How will this team handle the loss of Brandon Sutter?

Im literally crying. Who will provide the foundational intangibles now?

 

[Canucks LB]

Vesey-Boyd-MacEwen
Highmore-Graovac-Hawryluk

Our Bottom 6 Tonight

 

[rypper]

I actually hope McDavid feasts on us and gets to 100 points this season. How wild would that be, in a 56 game season?

Our Bottom 6 Tonight

The future as Benning see's it, in 2 years these guys will all be......older and a lot richer under Benning.
Vesey is worth 3 mil for 4 yrs with a clause contract isn't he? Definitely Highmore or Boyd! They are all character guys after all. That is what you call players that don't score isn't it?

Well the Canucks have been on many highlights where a player has accomplished some record or benchmark, why should it be different now.

With this group I can see McDavid getting to 100 points in 3 games.

I do feel for the players knowing that the future is clear like mud. Have to play out the string and not get hurt.

The opposing teams are already easing up on them, you will see the other teams laughing and smiling a bunch, they will keep the score decent,

7 - 2 Oilers

McDavid is absolutely insane. This is going to be a blood bath. If Canucks can keep it to 4 goals against then that’s a win IMO.

I genuinely think that there’s a good chance we are going to concede 8 or more in one of these games

 

[M2Beezy]

Looks like Sutter is out.

So if Graovac is in over Eriksson where does that leave our top paid forward on the depth chart when ya favor EVERYONE in

Pettersson
Miller
Brock Boeser
Horvat
Hogg Life
Pearson
Motte
MacEwan
Sutter
Roussell
Beagle
Lind
High More
Hawrluk
Vesey
Boyd
Graovac

I left off Virtanen cause is probably never be back so Eriksson is our #18 forward. And maybe the Gad but did not include him. Un frickin real even beyond just Benning signing the guy, what a terrible hockey player

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Nice Juolevi is in. Better not get a point or else he may get punted from the line up again. Only hughes is allowed to be garbage defensively and still put up points.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

How many points per period is McDavid scoring on this defence?

 

[Canucks LB]

Pretty huge news on the green front, basically no discussions, the offer was ages ago, and they are far apart.

I think it’s pretty clear either of the entire coaching staff goes after this year, or the general manager along side the entire coaching staff goes

Hughes has been on the ice for at least 58 goals against out of 156, that's if you take his points and add them to his - number, it could be worse because there are games where he was even on the +/-

You speak sacrilege man, don't you know that Eriksson is the worst player ever to skate, Roussel is completely terrible in all facets of the game and Beagle is a totally washed up warm body who can't score, at least according the the denizens of this board. Me, well, I agree with you...
