GDT: [GM49] Vancouver Canucks @ St. Louis Blues | Mon, Jan. 27th | 4:30pm | Amazon Prime | Sing Me a Sweet Tune



Health Updates
  • Garland had a maintenance day; little banged up
  • Juulsen skated pretty well; game time decision
  • Joshua had a full practice and skated well
  • Lot of game time decisions on the team
  • Sherwood won’t travel but might meet them on the trip
Game Plan
  • Have been preaching that they need to get to the interior
  • Joshua and Sherwood are two guys who will get to the interior of the ice
St. Louis Blues
  • Really good rush team; have to make sure they stick to the game plan
  • Mentions this is a four point game
  • Doesn’t care who they play; just need to string some wins together; it’s time
Elias Pettersson, Forward
  • Worked on his skating and getting inside before practice
  • Focusing on having someone on your back but still getting the puck and making a play off that
  • Deferring too much
  • Will have to spend every day on this and string some practices together; can even do it during the morning skate
Confidence
  • Held their own against one of the top teams in the league
  • Like that they hung in there against a big team
Suter & Blueger on the PK
  • Chemistry-wise, have done a really nice job as the first guys on the PK
  • Both have hockey IQ; need a smart brain to play on the PK
  • Need to understand what shot do you want your goalie to have
  • Have liked that they are more aggressive up the ice
Lankinen
  • Has been dealing with a stomach virus
  • Gutted out a win and will see how he is tomorrow
  • Wasn’t at his full but is sure Demko doesn’t play at 100% either
Elias Pettersson, Defensive Extraordinaire
  • Will talk to Allvin again
  • Felt he needed to get into a regular pair for practice and get reps
  • Hard to evaluate a guy after one game and then not play him again
  • Likes what he brings; not sure if he’ll play tomorrow; mentions “roster stuff”
  • Definitely a guy that is a stuff, is big, wants to hit, wants to box out, and wants to learn
Tired Players
  • This team needs touches, need work
  • Felt more comfortable giving the team a day off then playing and will have to switch up his philosophy
  • Being mentally tired is not a good thing
  • When you think too much and let the distractions get to you, it affects your legs
  • Will not have a game day skate tomorrow and will have plenty of rest
Today’s Practice
  • Coaches always want pace but every once in a while are going to slow it down and teach
  • Video is great but sometimes need to feel it; thinks they have to do that more; need to explain to guys why they are doing these things
  • For some reason, they gravitate to the boards a lot and instead of the middle of the ice
  • Will get a lot of reps

Not sure if Pedey will play tomorrow due to roster stuff? What does that even mean?

If Toc doesn't want to play Pedey he better have a DAMN good reason.

Depends on how they want to handle activating Juulsen & Joshua. Currently at 22/23 so can activate one but if they activate both, someone else will need to be sent back. Karlsson would be the other candidate. What’s curious is you’d expect that decision to have happened today.

This intense distrust towards young players seems to be ubiquitous...
