Post-Game Talk: [GM23] Canucks defeat Red Wings | 5-4 OT | DeBrusk(3), Suter, & Brannstrom | Jak3 D3Brusk

[Snatcher Demko]

Some belated views after watching replay:

Pettersson and Hughes establishing themselves as the present and future leaders on this team. Hughes might be the best player in the League right now. Detroit must revisit the Hughes draft as we do the Joulevi - Thachuk draft.

Suter is so much better at center. If Miller gets back the Canucks would be strong down the middle with Miller, Pettersson, Suter and Bluger. Suter is quite possibly the upper level 3rd line center the Canucks have been seeking for years. Should never be played on the wing again - just negate much of the talent he has.

Good for Lankanin - not perfect in this one but his season has been fantastic. That was interference on the 3rd goal.

Desharnais is an absolute mess. Juulsen >>>>>>Desharnais and Juulsen is not very good.

Does Garland ever have a bad game? Doubt it. Maybe the most under-rated player in the League.

Soucy had an excellent game. Myers okay with Hughes for the most part. Brannstrom scores another important goal.

Is Demko going to play on road trip? Lankanin is carrying far too heavy a load and Silovs unplayable.

Boeser misses Miller but he made some good defensive plays.

Hoglander did some good things - just hoping he can break out. He's still fighting it and needs a goal almost too badly

Team needs some praise for this gutsy road trip.

Great point about Suter he's leveled up at center here and should not be moved.

Who is saying we should move Suter?

Jim Benning's pro scouting regime was terrible.

Jim Bennings pro scouting regime was terrible

Moved away from centre

And you wonder why he hasn't worked in the NHL since.

Moved away from centre

Ah yeah that makes sense

TBH surprised by the reaction DeBrusk had been getting. We knew who he was before he signed. Been the same guy forever. He's hot for ten, then shit for ten. Felt the same about him when he was on pace for like 15 goals and 40 points as I do now when he's on pace for 35g and 65+.

There’s knowing that… and then there’s living that.. the DeBrusk roller coaster is wild

EP was actually pushing play today. He doesn’t need to be blowing by people all game, but he needs to be confident with the puck rather than hiding in soft ice.

Petey’s finally got some shooters to feed…. And he likes it a lot.

 

[Quinning]

Kuzmenko turned out to be a real dud, he’s struggling in Calgary.

Back to Russia once his deal ends.

He's all offense, no defense.
No way his style would've last in the NHL.

what i like about suter is he is a slightly less tenacious and defensively stymying blueger, only he doesn’t have hands of stone

i think having those two being interchangeable as the 3C, depending on whether you need blueger there to help overwhelm the opposition and create chances off the rush for garland and joshua, or you need suter there to help them finish plays

I like Suter between Joshua and Garland, and Blueger with Raty and Heinen.

But it leaves the question of who plays on the wing with Miller and Boeser? Unless they really think Lekk is ready, we are short a top line winger. Pretty sure it's not Hoglander.

Not saying you're not driving safely but please for the love of CHRIST be careful when you drive in such conditions.

Stay the f*** out of our spinal cord injury rehab unit. I don't want to see no HFers at work!

Oh, believe me, I’m a cautious driver. I get passed a lot for taking it too slow. But I passed two or three vehicles in the ditch that had raced passed me earlier (they were already getting helped).

Take it slow, arrive safe, arrive alive. But man, that was a crappy drive!

Did you older gents start to really f***ing hit on your takes at like ~30? There's no way I'm just this lucky, historically, but I'm still a huge f***ing hole when it comes to knowing shit.

E: Not gloating, like 25% is still a lot f***ing more than 10 for instance.

Ngl,
being 31 and getting called old feels kinda weird.
