Post-Game Talk: Jets def. Canucks - 5-0

[Mr. Canucklehead]

With only 6 games left in what may be the last of Edler's career, Green isn't going to sit him out unless he's injured.

The 100 goal stat is an important point, too, but I think it's the respect for a longtime Canuck veteran that's more in play here.

And again, I can get onboard with and respect that. But if that's the plan, give him a crack with the 1st unit PP or something. He's not on either power play, but gets run out there and shelled at repeatedly on all the PKs.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also on Edler; I received my signed, 50th anniversary Edler jersey I won during the Canuck Country Rocks concert in the mail today. Got a good feeling about him tonight!

Agreed. The problem is they rely on Eddie for pk duties, so I guess they have to strike a balance with his TOI, especially with this post-Covid horror of a schedule. I really hope he pots that 100th goal.

For a laugh..tried the NHL lottery simulator..had us picking 9th almost every time.

That’s disheartening

That's usually life or the starter and backup, really.

Yeah but I thought Holtby was supposed to be "1B" not a "backup".

I think Holtby was/is a clear insurance policy. The hope was always going to be that Demko could step up and take the reins of the starting goalie (which he has). If he stumbled, needed more time, or proved a flash in the pan, Holtby was the insurance policy to shoulder some games in that eventuality.

If it's any consolation I just tried it twice and we drafted 10th and 11th

Remember the good old days when drafting 10th was great? Now, it is utter disappointment. What a time to be a fan.

I tried it 20 times. Picked #1 once, #2 once, and all the rest were #9 and #10. So much fun. How did I live without this last year?

First try boys

 

[Clinton Comets EHL]

No Gadjovich. Green says that after sitting doing nothing for 7 days, they wanted to ensure he got a few good skates in before dressing. Hopefully that means he’s in next game.

Green. He has lost whatever mind he had.

Thankful for this post

9 heh....McTavish Ceulemans Lambos or Lysell?

I love both Lambos and Ceulemans but we better start thinking about adding a quality young play driving C. If McTavish could be that guy then maybe it's time.

Watching a ton of footage on Lambos recently and he's rocketing up for me and Ceulemans looks like a top 4 stud also.

Inside the top10 should get us a solid prospect

The "stimulator" is meaningless.

 

[RussianRacket]

I think what would be best is for them to finish the season strong and carry the momentum into next season.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!

Now the hope is that Seatlle takes him to relieve us of 4+ million for a back up on a cap strapped team.

 

[Peen]

For what it's worth, I wouldn't put it past Seattle to see Holtby's last 7 games where he's performed at a .908 and think he can continue that form for a year as a "mentor" like Fleury did for VGK.

There wasn't a chance they took him before April. He's been good since March 20th.

Still wishful to think they'll take him.

 

[Canuckle1970]

So 5 of Hogs goals have been against the Jets this year. How many tonight?

 

[Cupless44]

This team. This coach. Travis you are elimated FFS

I get that last night's line-up won, but back to backs and no Lind, Juolevi or Gadjovich for #Canucks
tonight

 

[Cupless44]

But we get to watch Highmore in the top 6! And Vesey and Mahaelis or whatever his name is!

I bet he gets at least one..he was shooting from every conceivable part of the ice last night.
