cant blame Eriksson with all those fans watching. Pressure can get to the best of players
Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Coyotes - 5-1 (Garland, Horvat, Pettersson, Miller, Boeser)

This is one of the most Eriksson moments of his time here and I always find it hard to find... Better add it to the OP
Rathbone just had a 5 point night with a PP clap bomb goal.

Status quo
Just win.
We are only missing the straw that stirs the drink... We just need to chug a few drinks that taste not as good for a few days here..

Formally 'OEL for Norris'
Juulsen is ready for some big minutes too. He's skating well and looking like our quickest RD.. I like what's brewing beneath our top 4 defencemen
Torn between wanting a dynamite draft pick and pressing hard for the playoffs
we are so mathematically challenged with all the games in hand to Calgary, it almost makes the most sense to pull the pin but damn it it’s a fun ride while we are winning
let’s win the next three and see where we are at

Into February here, and were playing our first game against Arizona this season..Looks like their entire squad is based off of cast offs from other organizations.
Having said that, I watched the Coyotes beat the Leafs not that long ago (the Leafs did everything but win)...There's no gimme's in the league, and if you don't show up..you wont win.
On another note..

I've been pleased with Juulsen - I think a combination of finally being healthy for an extended stretch, and playing in his hometown has rejuvenated him a bit. He's been really solid in Abbotsford, and has been about as good as could be hoped for in his spot-NHL duty.
That said - I definitely want to see Rathbone get a look sooner rather than later.
Well... I guess I was hoping for more out of Juulsen? Perhaps a bit more experience and confidence would help but he's definitely looked like an AHL defenseman so far.

I don't know if I agree with this but ok. I know the stats don't lie that we are playing good 5v5 defense but this just seems like leaning on our "vets" to eke out tight games - which is the opposite of how we played in the beginning with Bruce. Lets go Brad Hunt the shut down defenseman
I can't get over that anyone could think that the good defensive results we're seeing are in any way connected to what tiny defensive liability Brad Hunt is doing in limited sheltered minutes over Thatcher Demko providing Vezina-calibre goaltending.
Brad Hunt has been outscored 26-10 at ES in only 29 games over the past two seasons.

Yikes, you could have said something like "We want Jack to grow in a stable, consistent environment where he can refine his skills into being an NHLer for next season." that would've made more sense. Any difference in Hunt and Rathbone right now is negligible, and honestly probably swings in Jack's favour.

Hunt is a mess in defensive coverage and 1v1 battles. I will assume Rathbone will be the same but would be an upgrade on PP2 and bring more 5v5 push with his better skating and the energy and tempo he plays with.
Also like to bet he would mesh better with Schenn who is used to having a offensive speedster vs another older player who will struggle even more with the bigger minutes he's gonna have to leg

Highmore out - covid protocol.
What a difference from last year. Highmore was pffffft. Now I like him a lot with Motte and Lammiko. He'll be missed.

Agreed,..out of all those injury filler players last year (Vesey,Boyd,Michaelis ,Hawryluk etc)...Highmore was the best one.
I think this was the perfect opportunity to give young Jack a whack at it. He's feeling great now and he is the closest alternative we have for a puck moving D-man.
Boudreau has been surprisingly right on some game choices since coming on board. Not sure about this one. Could just be Rathbone had such a big game last night.

I don't know how many players traveled outside Canada during the all-star break, but you have to wonder about the instructions they might have received from the Canucks medical staff.
From all reports, Hughes came in contact with COVID in the U.S.....and it may or not be a co-incidence that his brother Jack Hughes has also entered COVID protocol. I imagine one or both of them spent time in Michigan.
But the reality is that people are simply at greater risk in the U.S. than they are in Canada. Fewer people vaccinated; a lot of no mask-wearers and just a more laissez faire attitude about contacting or spreading COVID. And the worst part of it is that having been forced to quarantine in the U.S., Hughes will now be required to quarantine again when he returns to Canada--and as a result will miss even more time.
Too bad the Canucks didn't follow the lead of the Canadian Government and the World Health Organization--and urged people to stay home.

Yep. And after the frustrations some players went through testing positive in the US and having to quarantine there before coming back, would have been nice to see players exercise some discretion and not risk missing games.
