GDT: [GM75] Canucks @ Golden Knights | Tue. Apr 2nd, 7:00pm | SNP | On the Road Again

I wonder if Tocchet will continue to make weird line adjustments or just go with obvious combinations?

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

If you can't be inspired and produce with guys like Hoglander and Garland then something is wrong with you. High possession players who work their ass off and are offensively good

 

[arttk]

He's not very good and his compete level sucks. We hitched our carriage to the wrong horse.

We need more Millers and less Petterssons

another stupid take

He was good in the first half but far from "incredible". The biggest reason he has the point total he has right now can be chalked up to Hughes and Miller.

It's growing increasingly frustrating that, in pretty much ever year but 22-23, it's been nothing but excuses for the guy.

"Maybe he's injured?"

"Maybe it's a mental issue?"

"Maybe he's trying to get Benning fired?"

I can't recall a star player in recent memory being so mercurial.

Last season it was:

"Wow, EP is really in that superstar tier, right alongside guys like Mackinnon, Draisaitl, Matthews, etc"

He was clearly there. Absolute two way beast who played exciting, high octane hockey and you felt something was going to happen every time he had the puck. I would have taken him over any centre not named McDavid or MacKinnon. Heck, I would have actually considered taking him over MacKinnon. He was *that* good.

This season, even when he was scoring at 1.5ppg, there's been something clearly off eye test wise. He gets his points, absolutely, but it's the way he gets his points that separates him from those superstar guys.

If he can get back to 2022-2023 Pettersson, this core can win a cup. If he can't, I don't see a way they can. This core and its success will be based upon Pettersson being able to elevate his play like we know he's capable of. I'm confident that wasn't just a flash in the pan season. He's that good, but something is wrong, and whatever it is needs to be figured out.

Nothing, I'm quite happy with the Americans on the roster. Just would like to see more Canadians. Lol

Oh don’t get into this countries sports media hoopla of ‘gritty, tall, husky, ass stank good ol’ Canadian’ player bullshit

 

[LordBacon]

Man the Bruins really broke Tocchet.
Everything is shit after that game.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Maybe last season teams just didn't play the Canucks as a hard cuz they sucked so bad so it over exaggerated Petterssons play

Really feels like preseason where you are like "yup, we tried it all but maybe we should build some chemistry here."

 

[arttk]

When DeSmith sucks, he really f***ing sucks

 

[TruGr1t]

I'm not sure why Tocchet just doesn't go back to the pre-Lindhom line-up when he was scratching Kuzmenko. I mean, it's the same group of players basically.

 

[cc]

I hope the league reviews the officiating for this game but I won't hold my breath

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Weeelp... That was uninspiring.

 

[EpochLink]

Onto the next

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

He's not very good and his compete level sucks. We hitched our carriage to the wrong horse.

Bruh…

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

another stupid take

Is this not against forum policy?

 

[DimitriL07]

Blueger Suter Mikh will never score again. I’ll give them credit they create chances from havoc but have 0 finish ever.

 

[arttk]

I wonder if Tocchet will continue to make weird line adjustments or just go with obvious combinations?

yeah, we need to stop with all these stupid ass line combos, and Bains is not ready, maybe next year.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Just please win tomorrow.
