Some really good signs from this game.

We looked more like our identity of big, fast, and hard on the forecheck from last year.

We also had quicker puck movement from non-Hughes D.

Our offense will improve with these moves. D who can break forechecks and move the puck quickly are huuuuge impacts.

Chytil looks assertive, confident, fast, skilled.

O'Connor and Sherwood will be a problem for opposing D on the forecheck.

M. Pettersson is so solid. I predict he plays with Myers and calms his game down long-term and Hronek stays with Hughes.

D- Petey looks like an NHLer. Grown leaps and bounds since pre-season when he looked a bit overwhelmed.

We outplayed them by quite a margin most of the game.

Our O.T. record is a curse. Luckily 3-on-3 won't happen in the playoffs assuming we get there.
 
I thought Pettersson played well today. He gets at least 2 points if Boeser got his shit together

While I'm not thrilled with Pettersson right now, this is getting overlooked. He setup two gifts and Boeser choked on both.

I really, really hate them together. Half tempted to try

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sherwood
Hoglander - Chytil - Boeser
O'Connor - Suter - Garland
Joshua - Blueger - Karlsson/Sasson

You could swap Hoglander and DeBrusk, but I'd go for this first just to see if Chytil's speed could help Boeser
 
Maybe the national tourny is funner than playing with this stupid team
Even if the Canucks don't make the playoffs, he has a good chance to win the Norris if he takes those two weeks off to rest.

So even from a personal standpoint, resting is better for him.
