I like this kid.

Forwards, top players, whatever, it’s time for us to blame the real people, and that’s our management for not properly fixing our depth on defence.
Forbert, juulson, desharnais are barely NHL defencemen

Yeah we crap on the players but in reality they just are who they are, you can't expect limited depth D-men to flourish in tough roles just because we need them to.

This is on management for putting together a group of D-men that is both unskilled and shallow.

And as much as it's probably quite difficult to make a fair trade when every other team knows how desperate you are, that's simply the job. And it wouldn't have been so difficult is they did a better job of it in the summer.

Canada just scored

1-1

 

[Kryten]

Mynio you dummy

 

[mriswith]

Hronek can run the 2nd pair, proven ability with Olli Maata, a much easier cheaper tier dman to acquire..

Hughes looks unreal no matter who plays there, and tbh lately I'm thinking hide Myers there. He's been bad everywhere else, isn't going anywhere, and can handle the 5v5 minutes.

Defense suddenly looks much improved for not much real asset cost.

I get the logic but I don't think I can stomach watching Myers with Hughes much longer.

 

[logan5]

More of a glove to the back.

 

[calnuck]

What in the f*** am I watching man

 

[Kryten]

We’re being toyed with now

 

[Canucks LB]

We’re getting absolutely dominated

 

[rypper]

Stop it.

 

[Wayward Son]

Absolutely brutal period so far.

 

[calnuck]

Call a timeout Jesus f***ing Christ!

 

[Canucks LB]

Tochett is gonna grab a stick and start playing here in a minute

 

[Lat]

Honestly I would play brannstrom 25+ minutes every game just because he’s the only one who can actually move the puck

Pretty sure he's the only one that hasn't whiffed on an outlet pass so far.

 

[mriswith]

"So here's the issue for the Canucks Soucy and Juulsen have been out there for 2 min"

FTFY

 

[calnuck]

Get off the ice wtf are you doing ?!?!?!

 

[bandwagonesque]

I'm just going to start viewing the Canucks d core as performance art.

 

[rypper]

Creative way to garner more ice time NOAH.

 

[logan5]

Wolf is getting the shutout here. Canucks can't score.

 

[Isi]

ok no harm was done but Soucy passing that then was maybe the craziest thing I've seen this season

 

[calnuck]

I'm just going to start viewing the Canucks d core as performance art.

The equivalent of whatever team plays against the Globetrotters

 

[dez]

Nice seeing Troy Stetcher score a goal

 

[mriswith]

3:15 of Soucy/Juulsen stuck in their end. Brannstrom goes out there and the Canucks exit the dzone immediately. Hmmm. He is short though.

 

[rypper]

Miller needs to go ham.

 

[Tact]

Soucy-Juulsen worse pairing again

Not saying much though. Everyone misses Hughes - I miss Hronek as well.
