What does this mean? Do females not have the balls to pull off this? Just throwing thought bombs out there
Your logic is flawed. Alternate is just saying our GM wasn’t first to cave, especially given the circumstances. For you to gender his statement is confusing.
Improved, but still needed great goal tending and some luck around the net to win.
Good
Lankinen - story of the year so far. Has been excellent.
Garland - most often the player bailing the team out of bad situations and again creating numerous offensive chances
Hronek - best d-man. Thought he carried Hughes in the defensive end.
Sherwood - lot of grunt work and a nice goal. Best of the 4th liners (Aman a little better here as well)
Blueger - key on the PK and another good game holding line togetner. Real good season to date
Boeser - showing last year's play, as far as good two way play is concerned, is continuing, Back check, which was non-existant a couple of year's ago is now NHL standard.
Others
Pettersson - to me, just not supporting the play with any smarts. Example in the second where Soucy is battling a Flyer near the corner and Pettersson goes into the play and gets behind Soucy leaving a lane open to the net. Flyer knocks the puck free and goes driectly to the net and Pettersson is left uselessly standing in the corner. You see this repeatly - Pettersson taking himself out of the play to make a meaningless hit or over engaging in the play when a teammate is already in the play, ending up with two men on the puck and an opponent wide open. On the occassion when he was well positioned and not tangled up with someone he was able to take Garland's pass and set up Hoglander. That should be his game rather than being taggled up in scrums. (and in many of those cases falling down). Got to somehow learn the sometimes less is more.
I don't think he had a bad game and try is there, but he still looks immature in his reads and positioning and you have to hope he overcomes that..
Miller - you wonder if he broke his hand in that fight in the opener. Would explain his trouble in taking and giving passes. If so, give him kudos for his effort this season.
Myers - - him and Soucy had to do a lot of the hard load in this game . Played a lot and were important to the win although it was not very tidy at times. Myers made a very good play on the Boeser goal
Brannstrom - so far, so good. Could be an important pick up. Helped Desharnais have a better game.
de Brusk - beginning to show more. Team really needs him to become good and he is showing improved speed.
Sprong - actually good on the fore check - especially in the third. However, can see he has tunnel vision at times. That's one explanation why he has been bounced around and why he has trouble playing off what others are doing.
Canucks still haven't played a full game but are, at least, hanging in as far as the standing are concerned.

They said it took balls to hold off on something. That sure sounds like a gender statement to me
It's a common saying to say someone has courage. It's strange you are taking this in such a direction for no reason. I've heard this saying for 30 years.

Good for Myers getting to 1000 games.
I think that Brannstrom and Desharnais could be a good pair, at least relative to what we've seen so far in the season.
Desharnais has more than enough tools for me, issue is that he chases way too much for his size. I think his main issue is decision making, I also notice he gets stuck at the blueline flat footed and too high fairly often. Hopefully Foote can work on this with him. At least compared to Forbort you can see how Brannstrom can be a bit smarter and move the puck which will help out Desharnais.
IMO Hronek is looking a lot less squirrelly this season.

Hope Lank gave Silovs some idea what it takes to be a NHL goalie, the comment earlier in the offseason by Silov’s agent claiming his client demands NHL playtime seems pretty unrealistic now.

Missed this entire game coaching back to back hockey practices, so of course we win in a shutout. 
Great to see!

Trimmed some fat in this thread.
Let’s not make things personal, and remember the site rules. For f***s sakes, we got a shutout tonight - celebrate!

I like my Flyers like I like my women.
I was perfectly fine until I got randomly piled on for nothing.
As much as I like that typically..

Crazy to me that Myers has played 1k games
Crazier to me that as of now Myers has played an even 365 games between Vancouver and Buffalo. Next game (his 1001st game) he'll officially have played the majority of his career in Vancouver

Tyler Myers for Ring of Honour.
I've been reading you and @MS game reviews for like 20 years now and I always make time for them. Always on point.

Welcome to the Canucks, Brannstrom. Highly unlikely he makes it through waivers at this point so he's on the team for the foreseeable future.
I only caught bits of the game, but Brannstrom was looking really decisive with the puck and didn’t look out of place in his own end, too.
Forsling 2.0 but this time we’re Florida

I think Brannstrom has looked good so far too but it's such a tiny sample size might want to pump the brakes a bit. I want nothing more than his continued success because he definitely adds an element our defense needs right now. But just remember Akito Hirose also looked like a lock to be an NHL player in such a small sample size as well.

I honestly don't know what Heinen does out there. He is invisible on every shift.
