The D doesn’t look as bad without Hughes because of Marcus Pettersson, but still Juulsen sucks ass

 

[Flik]

What's crazy is Pettersson is only 20.

How wonderful would it be if he blossomed into a reliable #5 and somehow grows into a #3/4?

If we re-sign 3Petey he can hold down that #3 slot and let D Petey level up at a reasonable pace. Maybe they end up swapping #3/5 spots in a few years????

Dare to dream I guess

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Do we currently have a bottom 5 C group in the league?

 

[StickShift]

EP40 flipping the puck from the blueline into the neutral zone is such a low percentage and unskilled play.

 

[eviohh26]

Just got in . How we looking so far??

 

[VanJack]

Canucks are working hard, but just not the same team without Hughes. He'd have generated at three two or three glorious scoring chances by now.

 

[Canucks LB]

Petey is driving me crazy, he’s playing like he wants to get traded

 

[DiggerDan]

It's owned by a Brazilian company.

Tim Hortons is owned by RBI (Restaurant Brands Intl), which is HQ'd in the US.

Agreed re: DeBrusk-EP--Boeser line. They have never had very good chemistry. The tricky part here is that you need to give EP at least one good scoring winger, and we have little high end depth in this department. Personally I would move DeBrusk down to the second line and move Hoggy up until there is a better option for Petey on LW. Balance out the scoring on the top 2 lines until we get more help via trade(s).

The day that man is off this team I'll be happy

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

What’s the full lineup? Can someone post it real quick?

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Chytil - Garland
O'Connor - Suter - Sherwood
Hoglander - Blueger - Karlsson

D. Pettersson - Hronek
M. Pettersson - Myers
Forbort - Juulsen

He saw how well it worked for Miller.

Juulsen is still playing so we are lucky it’s tied.

 

[Regal]

I wonder if trading Miller will impact the decision with Boeser due to his lack of chemistry with anyone else. Seems like he and Pettersson used up all their chemistry in that Colorado game years ago.

did a new Bennettish meme just drop?

 

[Jerry the great]

Ha, 6’5 175 looks accurate for Marcus Pettersson. Dude is built like an Olympic high jumper.

his new nickname should definitely be meaty

There just seems to be zero drive to be a difference maker or take charge of games. He looks like a rookie trying not to be noticed or screw up.

 

[Canucks LB]

We look pretty good

 

[Grub]

Pretty impressed with D Elias Pettersson. When was the last time we had a drafted prospect defensemen play at 20 years old? Anyone recall? (Hughes doesn't count)

 

[DiggerDan]

Already seeing the benefits of MP in our transition game, thankfully.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Drew O’Connor has had more impact in 3 shifts than Heinen had in his last 25 games

Quoted for truth only

 

[LemonSauceD]

Seeing Drew use his speed and control to to take the puck to the net and then fish a rebound to Suter almost made me cry tears of joy.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Chytil - Garland
O'Connor - Suter - Sherwood
Hoglander - Blueger - Karlsson

D. Pettersson - Hronek
M. Pettersson - Myers
Forbort - Juulsen

Chytil should move to EP’s spot.
EP should move to Blueger’s spot.
Blueger should move to Chytil’s spot.

He looks to me like he lacks burst and is struggling to break down defenses due to a lack of speed.

Was about to post this exact same thing. Why is he just flipping 20 footers to clear the zone and not looking to attack? I am so annoyed.

 

[God]

Need EP40 back with Sherwood or Hoglander.
