GDT: [GM52] Vancouver Canucks vs Detroit Red Wings | Sun, Feb. 2nd | 5pm | SNP | New Faces, New Friends

[vadim sharifijanov]

Ok then why do they keep playing Juulsen? Checkmate, libs

affirmative action? DEI?

 

[brock hughes007]

Debrusk 2025 Pettersson Boeser is maybe the softest top 6 line in the league, I’d be pretty surprised if they don’t have a puck retrieval guy on one of the wings.

Also when you have 2 wingers that are streaky goal scorers and one of them skates like crap.I just don't see that as a productive line at all.Id have no issue in trading all 3 of them.I still feel the Canucks moved the wrong center.

New Roster Additions

• Trying to get them comfortable; new guys are excited
• Don’t want to overload them with system stuff; want them to have fun tonight
• Can give them more structure as the season goes on
• Marcus Pettersson, Filip Chytil, and Drew O’Connor are playing
• Will have a discussion with Foote if Victor Mancini plays
• Sidney Crosby texted Tocchet about Pettersson & O’Connor; said they were good locker room guys and players
• Chytil has a lot of potential for them
• Mancini is a big defenceman that can skate

Filip Chytil

• Haven’t watched a tonne of his play
• Has had some unfortunate injuries
• Hoping to get some games under him and get some traction

Hughes

• Getting some stuff done
• Will be a game time decision

Sherwood

• Good possibility he will play
• Sherwood told Tocchet he can play

4 Nations Tournament

• Has not had any discussions with Hughes about the 4 Nations tournament because of USA vs Canada
• Would rather he not play if he’s not feeling well

Managing Cohesiveness

• They have a good locker room and will have to bounce back from this
• Miller was a huge part of their team
• Guys get traded and you have to move on from it
• Need to have good focus in the NHL because things will get thrown your way
• For the most part, the guys have had enough of the distractions
• Need to be real positive because they are still in a playoff race

Marcus Pettersson

• Foote watched some video of him and is really excited
• Has a high hockey IQ
• Crosby told Tocchet that Pettersson is a leader
• Sticks up for his teammates

Elias Pettersson, Forward

• Everyone is talking but need action now
• Needs to want the puck, attack the middle, and run the powerplay
• Will need key moments from him
• Need the Swedish line to push hard

Face-Offs

• Will really need to work on them
• Talks about them all the time; can’t consistently lose draws
• Need to fix it; can’t keep giving the opponent the puck in their own end because of face-offs
• Raty still needs to work on the rest of his game

affirmative action? DEI?

Must have one player from Abbotsford in the line-up in all times. With Heinen gone, that leaves Juulsen. Sorry lefties, I don't make the rules.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Usual scheduled loss at the Joe.

6-1 Red Wings. Hull x 2, Lidstrom, Shanahan, Holmstrom and Federov.

Cassels with our lone goal.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Also why I want DeBrusk with him to start. One of our faster top 6 players.

Yeah id put him between DeBrusk and Garland

 

[Jimnastic]

That top 6 looks terrible but at least the the defence looks decent.

Anyone talking about depth is just high on hopium. You can talk about depth when you have real talent filling the first 3 lines. Having a team 80% filled with 3rd and 4th liners does not equal depth. Unless Skinny comes back to his 100 pts form this team won't score more than 2 goals/game on average for the reminder of the season.

Wow. Mr Optimism. Personally, I believe you are so wrong. When they red light stays on I will tell (repeatedly) that I told you so.

 

[iago]

Detroit is a team that could use a goalie and maybe Demko could use a new lease on life. Obviously wouldn't be selling high on Demko but Detroit has two very good goalies coming but they aren't there yet and could use a mentor for Cossa next year. Van is going to need a back up so I'd probably take back Husso. He would get to work with a couple other Finns in Van.

Demko for Husso, Rangers 3rd 25', and Liam Dower Nilsson and Max Plante.

Detroit doesn't need a goalie, and if they did, it would not be the 2025 version of Demko.

Cassels with our lone goal.

it's a home game

 

[me2]

If the knee is really that bad, the time off from the 4 Nations to let it heal will be a nice bonus for him and the team (and couldn’t come at a better time with the team needing him more than ever with JT Miller gone now).

Our medical staff are same ones that had Mikayav play on a busted leg.

The NHL might object to him playing Canucks with it but not the 4 nations.

Finally, management are desperate enough to ride a player into the ground.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

it's a home game

 

[BWJM]

Casually optimistic we will have some energy in this one, and hopefully so Detroit played about 18 hours ago.

 

[Flik]

Aww f***, so D Petey didn't draw in for today's game?

I was hoping to get super stoned and lose my mind while watching the game with three Peteys on the ice.

 

[Jerry the great]

And Cassels is a retired

 

[M2Beezy]

Hope the home crowd boos the American anthem like they did in Ottawa and Calgary

I hope they dont. American and Canadian people are fine, these regimes of the rich are the ones we should focus our anger on, not a patriotic song that booing it will just annoy American people...

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

And Cassels is a retired

Wrong! He has 1 assist in 8 games for CSKA Moscow.

 

[Regal]

Hoping for a better effort than from Vancouverites on the roads

 

[drax0s]

I'd say he's probably closer to a ... bigger Jannik Hansen, or something like that.

I'd take a bigger Jannik Hansen on this team any day.

 

[Boxscore]

Any word if Hughes is playing?

 

[Lindgren]

I'd take a bigger Jannik Hansen on this team any day.

A bigger Jannik Hansen would earn a wack of money and be coveted by every team in the NHL. Even a regular sized Hansen would.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Any word if Hughes is playing?

It's a game time decision.

I think over the years our guys have played at their best before they've learned any of the structure so tonight ought to be the best the new additions are for the rest of their time here

[Slapshot_11]

People need to start including foote with their anger of juulsen playing time

Guys in over his head
