SopelFanThe3rd - LemonSauceD- AlainVigneaultsGum

I don't think that line has any interest in back-end defense. They would be taking shots from all angles...well after the game is over I suspect. As long as they are putting in a solid effort and committing to FULL 60 more power to them. Try to get lots of recovery time between shifts...games etc.

Well. Do your best boys.

 

[David71]

take out juulssen and forbort. put in branstrom/VD. see if they can fare better.

SopelFanThe3rd - LemonSauceD- AlainVigneaultsGum

Alain passes it to me, i makes a great deke and pass it to Sopel for the open net. Sopel fans on the shot and falls down and crashes into the net like a doofus. Fans laugh at him and chant “Sopel is dust! Sopel is dust!”.

Sopel is sent down after the game but I see him in practice the next morning cuz he still thinks he’s on the team. Hes begging the coaches and apologizing to the players for being a bum, crying around wailing like a baby. Everybody yells at Sopel to get the f*** off the ice right now you absolute bum.

We need to fix that PP1 somehow. It hasn't been dominant since like February, coincidentally right around when Petey started becoming ineffective.

JTM randomly giving the puck away also doesn't help. But they have got to do something, a poor PP zaps energy from the team and special teams are huge factor in team success nowadays.

The PP looked really good in the first against Calgary with everyone moving, and then it just went right back to the same old stagnant last 40 games PP

Brock Boe- *checks notes* I mean Elias Pettersson

 

[Cancuks]

Pretty sad state of affairs when Hronek has more hits than the rest of the defense COMBINED. It just shows, players aren't willing to sacrifice their bodies right now this early in the season to win games. I think they have the Oilers mentality from last season to start slow and pace themselves, stay healthy and hope to catch fire in the second half.

 

[JT Milker]

A secondary issue on the pp is that my namesake exhibits borderline-moronic puck management when given time to think. Cute, low percentage passes have to stop.

Miller’s timing has seemed a bit off in a lot of situations which makes sense given he missed the bulk of camp.

I think a lot of our forwards are trying to find chemistry with each other at this stage. Hopefully they get there pretty quick.

 

[Brookbank]

Almost winning games with the 6th worst PDO in the league. Edmonton was getting blown out at this PDO level

The Brannstrom era begins.

Hope Forbort is ok. They usually word it differently than "left the team".

 

[Josepho]

Brannstrom and Desharnais has to be the third pairing for this one.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Brannstrom and Desharnais has to be the third pairing for this one.

And Brannstrom SHOULD be a much better fit with Desharnais vs Forbort.

 

[Hoglander]

Hope Forbort is ok. They usually word it differently than "left the team".

He probably read HfCanucks and was like:

f*** this, I'm out!

SopelFanThe3rd - LemonSauceD- AlainVigneaultsGum

Good:
LordBacon - He may be 5'5 but he posts with incredible heart.


Ugly:
You give credit for AlainVigneaultsGum for giving it a go with two anchors but this line was a major problem last game. At this point, it's probably best to waive SopelFanThe3rd, put LemonSauceD on wing and maybe see if you can call anyone up from r/Canucks.
