Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Avs - 4-3 (Mikheyev, Horvat, Dries, Bear)

[racerjoe]

Anybody done a "Value of Bo Horvat" thread? It doesn't look like he is going to slow down too too much. Could he hit 50?

One poster on the main boards seems to do it daily...

I guess Martin just has to be better

Take the “L” Broski.

Take the “L” Broski.

You kids and your creative slang, man.

 

[Quinning]

Makar might be the best defender since Bobby Orr.

Everyone is way worse than him. Trying to knock Hughes by using Makar is kind of ridiculous.

It's infuriating because of how f***ing close he was to being a Canuck.

Mind you, I doubt he develops into this player on the Benning-led years.

It's basically like saying MacKinnon isn't Mcdavid so he sucks

Take the “L” Broski.

Hughes has more even strength points than Makar. If you are going to argue that Hughes is only good on the pp compared to Makar, those stats need to be mentioned.

I was gonna say.

Makar is better. But that’s not what @logan5 and I are arguing against @Hyzer evaluation on Hughes

 

[Hyzer]

I never put Hughes down. I merely said that Makar is better in basically every metric - even zone exits and entries, as someone in this thread has said that Quinn is as good as Makar in that area. Quinn is still good at that, without a doubt, but comparing and alluding that they are the same in at least 1 metric is asinine and false. Quinn is the best we have ever had probably as a defenseman on this team, but none the less.. the fact remains

Ahahah

He reminds me of Bourque.

 

[Kreator]

Makar is easily the second most valuable piece in the league and possibly number 1 cause of position....INSANE how good he is.

I wouldn’t make that argument…you made the argument that Hughes‘ zone exits were just as valuable as anything Makar brought to the table…that’s just patently wrong.

 

[me2]

I’m still in shock at the PP setup

4 forwards below the circles???????????????

Like what is the thinking there?
Honestly

If you don't know what your PP is doing what hope does the opposition have.

OK. How different would Hughes stats be if he was playing for he Avs? The same? Every facet of a defenceman's game will improve going from a bad team to an elite team.

Here comes the third.

Golf Canucks

 

[racerjoe]

That would make sense if Garland was either not guided into the goalie, and if the goalie wasn't the one to not just make contact but actually push Garland.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

That is absolutely not the intention here - it's just funny to think that the 2 were considered to be on the same level at one point alongside of Adam Fox.

 

[ahmon]

Makar is great, but he also gets to play with Rantanen. That guy flys under the radar. Everyone talks about Mackinnon/Makar.

But he's every bit as unique. 6'4 forward who can make plays, handles the puck well and has developed a similar finishing ability like Draisaitl on the side.

If you look at Petey and Hughes, we lack that 3rd star with size that teams have a hard time shutting down and opens up lanes. Miller/Horvat offer a bit of that but neither can hold a candle to Rantanen.

He would've been dealt for more 'meat & tatters'.

 

[logan5]

When you are defending the Avs, you back off a lot more because of their offence. Makar gets more room out there.

 

[Breakers]

LOL

4th line trapping Toews and Makar in their own zone

 

[logan5]

f***in' pylon Makar.

 

[PavelBure10]

I can't even imagine what this team is going to look like when they trade Horvat. The team is going to be even more unlikable.

 

[Hansen]

It feels like the fourth line is creating our best passing plays out of everyone right now, great for them but not a good thing for the team
