And that's the real problem. It's one thing if he sees spot duty when we're hit with injuries, but the instant his name's on the roster he's just never off the ice.

It started with Bartkowski chasing onto Pedan's side, which left Pedan and Vey both scrambling to get the wide open player on the side he vacated. At least they were all trying to check someone, though. Etem… not so much.
Had a dream that we drafted Austin Matthews, and our depth down the middle next season was Henrik, Matthews, Horvat and Sutter...with guys like Vey and McCann anchoring the middle in Utica....now that would be something to see.

It's a wolf v2.0
I'm not 100% on NHL positioning, but I'd think typically that section of the ice is the center's responsibility while the wingers collapse down low. As a center himself Gaunce probably realized that Vey ****ed up so he's trying to get in there to cover for him, but as a winger probably started from too far out.
Or at least that's what I'm reading from that single picture, didn't actually see the goal in question last night.
Edit: Looking at the replay now it was off the rush and things broke down... was actually Bartkowski that took himself out of position to throw a little bump on Lehtera after he passed the puck, forcing Vey to try and cover Schwarz.

Above is what happened. Ideally, Bartkowski stays on his side and they all take a man. He started the mad scramble. Etem was the only one that took himself out of the play and didn't bother trying to check anyone.
Not sure why we're dissecting a GA in a 3-0 game....they've scored one goal in nine freakin' periods...can't win if you don't score, and this team is going to go down as the worst offensive team in franchise history.
Bartkowski, Sbisa, Tryamkin, Pedan, Etem, Vey, Higgins, Burrows, Dorsett, McCann, Virtanen, Biega, Grenier, Weber would not be in any top 9 or top 5 dman on any contending team and 0 of those players mentioned i believe would score over 25 points in a season. (forwards) . or over 20 points for a dman.
And HALF of those players mentioned should not even be in the NHL.
Im not surprised we arent scoring goals.
Not to mention Cracknell and Granlund. Who played on our team as well.

Vey is overplayed and a long shot at this point as a good offensive player but I don't know I agree with someone dismissing his production as a PP and ice time phenomenon. There are worse things we could do is have a guy at his calibre produce on the PP in some way. PP success needs to be a thing too, especially when you are counting on a depth player to fill in for injuries. It's not like you could just give the role to any person and it is auto points. People suck so bad all the time on the PP and get no points, and the team just keeps playing them. Besides, I think ice time is the dumbest argument ever against production. He needs more obv if he is producing at a good rate in certain situations.
I think most if not all of his success on pp though is cause of the sedins, if sutter was healthy he'd be playing those minutes or bo would be and they'd produce more in my opinion and they'd produce more at even strength
.Thats only because we have a franchise player in Brandon Sutter injured, though, in all fairness...
In the last 30 days, Vey has the highest PP TOI/GP on our team out of forwards (yes, higher than Sedins). His overall TOI/GP out of forwards is 3rd.
During this time the Canucks have played 13 games and scored 30 goals, 6 of those on PP (PP% 15.4).
Vey has 2 goals and 3 assists in these 13 games, again being #1 minute man for PP and #3 for overall minutes. Both of his goals are on PP, playing in the first unit with Sedins.
So yeah. I'm pretty sure anyone in the roster would've managed that production given those minutes and opportunities. And of course he's pathetic defensively when he's not playing against other teams' 4th lines.

That is disgusting favouritism, what is this ****ing Peewee where our coach is playing his ****** son over better players clearly on the bench?
I hate Willie D.
1 ES assist to show for his last 11 games while getting 1st line/2nd line minutes. 2 ES goals in 61 games this season between AHL and NHL.
Hopefully a few people here who were getting really excited a month ago when he had a few points are realizing now that that was a blip, as a bunch of us were saying at the time.
This is simply not an NHL player. Just appalling the opportunity he's getting here right now from his 'Dad'.
