Uh, yeah.

Do you realize my post is doing the same?

What would be the acronym of Stay-at-home; Terrific; Defenseman?

Yes, we got it the first time. Mild nose exhalation from me, so not bad.

Very disappointed w this signing.

He is not built to play in the top 4 and I suspect thats where he will be playing.

 

[VanJack]

Checking the Oilers board, there's a general lament that they never should have let Desharnais walk, if there was even a slight chance to they were going to lose Broberg as well. Supposedly Broberg play in the Cup Final rendered Desharnais superfluous. Now they're both gone.

How has dollar store Zadorov looked so far ?

Looked in what? They haven’t even played a preseason game yet.

Is it a sexpo, a amateur comedy hour or a conference for geriatric medicine doctors?

Come find out!

He has now and he looked pretty bad tbh. Juulson might pass him in on the depth chart.

The league over corrected from puck movers to big stay at homers.

 

[Josepho]

I think he has played pretty well in 2/3 games and there's not a chance in hell Juulsen is above him on the depth chart. Has decent mobility and puck skills for his size.

 

[TruGr1t]

Soucy-Desharnais looks like it'll start at least. More interested in who Myers partner might be on the bottom pair.

Did you watch last game in high leverage minutes he looked great. He has improved immensely in the last year. Comparing him to Juulsen is hilarious he has been miles better than him in the preseason.

Desharnais was literally the best Canuck on the ice last night.

I'll admit that I only watched him for a few shifts. But he was standing too upright a lot and just didn't look very mobile

Desharnais is actually very mobile for his size. His issue is breaking pucks out and not getting hemmed in, but he has actually been one of our better defenders in preseason. Juulsen doesn’t even come close.

He basically played 1D minutes against the full Oiler squad and nothing got on the wrong side of him, plus he was surprisingly good moving the puck.

These takes are so annoying.

'He's so bad'

'I didn't really watch'

Just spare everyone your ignorance next time.

Desharnais seems to be the perfect candidate for the "Tochhet Effect". It's been working wonders on Myers.

It's clear they've been targeting D-men with size that can skate and have "tools" and then using their coaching/system to limit their mistakes.

Perhaps they could have even made something out of Sbisa.

[DiggerDan]

Like most I've been pleasantly surprised with Desharnais. Even before last night's game he has been solid. If he continues the trend, and continues to learn from Foote and the staff, we could potentially have a gem @ $2M.

 

[oba]

gimme a six foot twenty dude with a mean streak and he on mah team buddy .....

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

At moments Desharnais reminded me of Soucey a bit in the last game against the Oilers. Not that fleet of foot but didn't panick with the puck and made some heads up, short passes to beat the forecheck. He's not a Gudbranson with the puck on his stick and his impact in the D-zone was solid.

I love how you brought my post back up in a “got’cha” attempt but it backfired completely, proving my original point in the process

 

[PavelBure10]

In a game where the Canucks iced a Abbotsford Canucks roster, I thought the Canucks squad and more notably Desharnais on defense played outstanding against a stacked Oilers lineup. For a big fellow Desharnais skating is impressive, he makes the smart easy play to get it safely out of his zone. I thought he has looked terrific thus far in a Canucks uniform.

 

[Brookbank]

Canucks management had 5 regular season games and a whole playoff series to scout this guy. Just because he's scratched doesn't mean they already have buyers regret , I wouldn't think.

This is the problem with building a team for the playoffs. You have to play 82 game first.

 

[ProviesGhost]

I don't mind it, gets everyone's attention right away.
