For Hamonic not playing much competitive hockey, I thought he acquitted himself well.
played 17 minutes.

Myers - is emerging as our best defenseman in every zone. Just a horse throughout and mainly staying away from penalties.
Can Podkolzin play more than 7 minutes a night ? Must be frustrating for him
yeah, in a prefect world, we have an actual 3C instead of Pearson at his cap hitIt's pretty easy.
Vancouver is going nowhere with Pearson and Chiasson in the top-9, and with Podkolzin getting 7-8 minutes per game.

Disagree with Poolman's assessment probably his best game. Saved a goal once if not twice at the end and his analytics were best on the team.For two periods were as disorganized as ever. Then in the third said to hell with organization and played on emotion and got something done as the Rangers tired.
Good
Demko - a warrior in the late going and I'd say the main reason for the win.
Miller - still with the willy-nilly passing but got to the net and actually finished some chances (something the team just a hasn't been doing)
Garland - spar plug that got the Lotto line (does it need a new name) going. Should absolutely stay on that line although that leaves Boeser in sort of limbo. Like where do you play him. Fears about having to shell out some huge contract are evaporating.
Myers - is emerging as our best defenseman in every zone. Just a horse throughout and mainly staying away from penalties.
Hoglander - had his wheels going and created multiple chances. Could criticize him for being too individual but no one else on his line was doing much of anything to help him.
Hughes - again so much better in his zone. Puck control and puck movement again exceptional. Thought he mirrored the play of Fox.
Bad
Horvat - lugged around the ice something awful. Left chasing the play all night coming out of the offensive zone and too clumsy and awkward to take advantage of situations created by others.
Can't often get to the play to make a pass and telegraphs his passes when he does. Is actually having a terrible season and is a liability at the moment. Really the untold story of this season so far
Poolman - since the injury has been too slow with his feet and stick and can't react quickly enough around his net. Very poor at getting the puck smoothly out of his zone or with team control. Just bangs it off the boards. Puck always seems to be going in off of him into our net - getting to be a pattern.
Boeser - by far the worse player on the ice. If he is hurt, let him sit out. Right now can't get to the puck or make a play. Got so bad that it's a toss up whether you want him or Chaisson out on the PP. Play in own zone and in transition is horrid.
Others
Podkolzin - if he played like he did in the third, he'd be a star. Started going to body with some authority and good snipe on the goal.
Dickinson - not doing enough. Can't get any production out of him or his line.
Bailey - sometimes he has you shaking your head as he runs around out of position and beats the puck to death. But had some good shifts on the PK and was getting some pressure on the puck. His line with Chaisson and Lammikko has to one of the worst in the League and got totally tied up their zone far too much.
OEL - not his best game. Got beat to the net and is taking too many penalties. Funny but I thought Myers had to carry him a bit and never thought that would happen. Might be hurt.
Pettersson - another step in the right direction. Skated better and is getting chances. Seems so taciturn its hard to read his mood but still seems little disconnected from the process.
Hamonic - both him and Schenn had their problems getting the puck out but thought he brought some toughness to net the net front. Pretty obvious he is better than Rathbone in this area.
Pearson - defines mediocre. Maybe move him away from Horvath.
Nice win but the team still has a huge way to go before they establish some sort of consistent and cohesive system together.
Miller and Podkolzin need a real big man to allow this team to play more freely. I think Pearson should be moved soon, but Hoglander hasn't looked like a top 6 NHL winger either.yeah, in a prefect world, we have an actual 3C instead of Pearson at his cap hit
Don't know about the analytics, but the kid kept the ozone so many times with mini pinches and moving the puck to the right places... he played well tonight... Very safe... And then... The Save, before The Save.Disagree with Poolman's assessment probably his best game saved a goal once if not twice at the end and his analytics were best on the team.
Imagine if someone told you , after Boesers rookie season, that in a couple years he wouldn't be used as a triggerman on the PP, or hell, even be on it at all half the time..

It’s just that new car smell wears off.Ehhh...i'd agree with the assessment that Poolman is fading. I was pleasantly surprised early, that he was actually, pretty solid? But today, and lately in general...he's really started to slip. Idk what "The Analytics" say, or what singular anecdotal plays he may have almost been responsible for a goal, but stopped. But he's gone from looking surprisingly proactive, to kinda wishy-washy and vulnerable overall. He looks like he was up to speed when the season hit, but is starting to fall behind, as the rest of the league ramps back up to normal pace. Not physically...just...mentally, always seems a quarter note behind tonight.
Just finished watching... Great comeback win! Unexpected... Canucks seemed to take over after the 1-0 goal and were very unlucky not to score a couple there.... Then a bounce off of Poolman and we're down 2-0... Thought it was over... But they came out on a mission in the 3rd... And got rewarded...
Great character win led by Garland and Miller... And DEMKO... Great game by Hughes (at even strength) in controlling and creating..
Boeser is missing in action... His play doesn't deserve 1st unit PP duty... Can't skate... Can get open... Can't make plays.. can't get his shot off...
Then there's the passenger wearing #40... Who is this guy... Very troubling... But I keep telling myself that he only 20-some games last year... And missed all of camp... But man.... It's crazy... He was on a line with the two best players tonight, and had very little to do with any of it...

It was a 2nd assist... I wouldn't say it was nice. He isn't the same.Pettersson made the nice pass to Garland on the first goal for the assist and his back check lead to the Miller OT goal
He’s been looking much better the last 2 games (aside from pp) but dude can’t buy a goal right now
1 goal in 27 shots which is less than 4 percent
Thats gotta correct as the season progresses, or at least I hope
It’s just that new car smell wears off.
People on twitter like that jez guy POM is posting tweets of has his pinned tweet basically implying Poolman is really good
He’s a bottom pair guy lol
I agree with you on some of the smart plays he made around the line etc. He seemed mostly fine in his own end. I'm not expecting greatness from Poolman at any point. I have a feeling he might end up being a somewhat polarizing player amongst this fan base.Don't know about the analytics, but the kid kept the ozone so many times with mini pinches and moving the puck to the right places... he played well tonight... Very safe... And then... The Save, before The Save.

He used to be authoritative with the puck... And if you watch him this game, he got the puck and it was off his stick in a second. He doesn't have right now between the ears..
