GDT: [GM37] Vancouver Canucks @ Seattle Kraken | Thur. Jan 2nd | 7:00pm PST | SNP | New Year, New Team

Soucy was decent and liked in Seattle. He played well for us. I was sad to see him go.

He had a solid 25 game stretch where he played like a legitimate #3 dman last season. Then his play fell off from March until the end of the season but had a decent playoffs (had a couple of terrible defensive games during the Oilers series).

This year he has looked trash in pretty much 95% of games and has looked soft.

JT you idiot

 

[MS]

That's the Cs job ya noob

Also JT Miller is literally one of the best players in the NHL at winning faceoffs and set plays off faceoffs.

 

[sting101]

exactly preach Ray
its a joke

playing soccer when its convenient now

Same call against Myers a few games back. Refs are just loving these weak assed calls.

I thought Soucy had a terrible October and has been mostly pretty good since. I'm a bit surprised at the criticism now.

 

[PavelBure10]

Demko is making some huge stops here.

 

[hellstick]

PK got really lucky

 

[drax0s]

This powerplay is going to be really ugly, isn't it.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Is the Climate Pledge Arena ice better or worse than Rogers Arena?

 

[Lat]

This powerplay is going to be really ugly, isn't it.

But it's quarterbacked by Kraken villain, Myers. Does that count? Lol

 

[dez]

Lack of exposure to the Foote effect

Foote: Ok Breezer looking calm and poised out there but remember the puck is grenade you gotta get it off your stick, NO MATTER WHAT!!!

 

[Johnny Canucker]

A player who doesn't want to play here? We may already have that with Petey.

He didn’t wanna play here? He never said that. He had an issue with Virtanen (he said “a 19 year old”) and said he wasn’t happy where (draft position) he was drafted. Then we traded him for a Tyler Myers clone.

 

[Canucker]

Nice shot Myers.

 

[logan5]

Thought Myers would score there.

 

[God]

Ok so I'm actually very excited to see Myers run PP1.

 

[Jyrki21]

The Canucks will win this (and will even score a PP goal) because it will give Tocchet an excuse never to play Brännström again.

Cumulative effect of Hronek and Hughes injuries making everyone play 2-3 rungs above their abilities, combined with Soucy playing inconsistent game to game, makes it look much worse than it is

 

[Johnny Canucker]

PK got really lucky

We have a team full of PKers. Shouldn’t be a problem.

Bummer. I haven't followed him since he left. If the kraken are going to be mediocre, they could stand to be tougher - and Soucy was a big body who could play middle pair well.

 

[EpochLink]

Alright, PP to start the second period.
Do something.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Ok so I'm actually very excited to see Myers run PP1.

Yah it’s …. Um….. something.

 

[DimitriL07]

I’ll take it. Bar can’t be lower rn

 

[mathonwy]

I was looking forward to see a clap bomb.
