Post-Game Talk: Pre-Season Game #3: Canucks 4, Oilers 2 (Sutter x2, Pettersson, Pearson ENG)

[GetFocht]

Myers looks great, makes dynamic plays and is smart with the puck. Petterson is on a different planet, his decision making and speed is even faster.

 

[M2Beezy]

Arsenau, time to CUT his ass

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I was a fan of the Myers signing. I've lost touch with him since his peak in Buffalo but I'm liking him so far. This team desperately needed another top four defenseman. So far I'm liking his mobility, skating and IQ.

He’s looked composed thus far - settling the puck and taking the time to make the smart play. Caliber of competition and early days and all that, but still.

Green wants to see Hughes on the PP but trainer signalled cut lip.

I thought green wanted 4mins

 

[M2Beezy]

Myers sends it over the glass lol now a 5-3

 

[Dr Good Vibes]

Lol Granlund on the PP

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Why is Arseneau here? Why wasn't he sent down with the group today? He's not competing for a spot lol

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

That’s not a penalty
Good to know the refs are in form

 

[M2Beezy]

Vancouver bench already looked defeated still more than 82 games to go in the season lol

 

[M2Beezy]

Sutter didnt read that well, the Oiler player misplayed the puck lol

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Demko looking sharp early is nice to see as well.

 

[Dr Good Vibes]

Very nice rebound control by Demko.

 

[GetFocht]

Demko looks like an absolute pro from his stance and crease movement, he's going to be a starter at some point.

I genuinely believe Antoine Roussel has somthing to do with it - they were parked next to eachother in the press box for the Victoria game and were laughing and chatting it up most of the night - also went on a "all french guys" fishing trip during the training camp with Brisebois/Perron.

Plus Arseneau was a soldier for the Comets last season - big hits - defended the kids - and scored more goals than more guys than he probably should have

quintissential ECHL journeyman type guy

Canucks just probably doing the guy a favor

 

[M2Beezy]

Excellent PK

 

[Svencouver]

Tyler Myers is really, really tall

 

[GetFocht]

Myers is large human being, feels like he is covering half the ice when he crouches over

 

[Peen]

Demko looks like an absolute pro from his stance and crease movement, he's going to be a starter at some point.

Probably sooner than later. Feeling they use Markstrom as trade bait at the deadline.

 

[geebaan]

Just tuned in. How’s the Myers Edler pairing been?

Yeah I can see that, just feel like that spot may be better taken by someone competing for a spot. I would have been really interested to see what Eriksson's compete level would be in back-to-back games even if its meaningless. Would really show how much he gives a **** about making this roster

I have no problem with doing him a favor though. Just feel like maybe they could have evaluated some potential roster players at home. He seems like a good guy who has worked hard as a plumber

This has been a major complaint of mine since the Gillis days is just how small our defense has always been. I really like just the sheer amount of room Myers takes. I don't even care if he's tough as long as he doesn't shy away and can play competent defense.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

He’s listed at 6’8”. We need him and Hughes to stand together.

 

[GetFocht]

Petterssono looks ready to take over this year.

Well theres still games Thursday Saturday and Sunday correct?

This is probably just a "give some guys some exposure"

kind of like they're doing with Ferraro

although based on how Graovac is skating and playing - i can see the Canucks legitimately keeping him now

 

[polarbearcub]

Have Hughes come back yet?

Also there’s new lighting in the arena . LED
