GDT: [GM53] Vancouver Canucks vs Colorado Avalanche | Tue, Feb. 4th | 7pm | SNP | Hughes Dependent

[Another Empty Netter]

everyone has chemistry with chytil lol

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Marcus Pettersson has been amazing. Guy is legit never out of position. Such a calming presence.

 

[wonton15]

At this rate, I seriously wonder if management is calling Buffalo and seeing what their best offer is. Because what the hell is this bullshit from EP40?

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Poor Garland and DeBrusk are stranded on shit Island now. Boeser is free.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Man, we look so different, actually pushing pace for once, w t f

The speed added combined with having Dmen who can make a pass has changed the entire look of the team. I'm honestly impressed with Allvin.

 

[Canucker]

At this point I don’t believe EP is injured…not sure what kind of injury would make you this ineffective and not keep you out of the lineup, and never seems to heal. He’s either damaged goods or just mentally checked out…either way time to move on, he’s not doing us a lot of good…this is not what $11.6m should be buying us.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

7th in goals last year

Well.

Why has he gone away from the system that has +20% shooters up and down the lineup?

Reminds me of Christopher Tanev

 

[mriswith]

Edit: improved it

 

[Donuts]

EP gotta go

 

[Svencouver]

It's insane.

They're fast, hungry, and have good offensive instincts.

Makes me feel like we should flip Pettersson and Boeser for some younger, hungry guys.

Tocchet has coached speed, hunger, and offensive instincts out of our players before, and he'll do it again!

 

[LemonSauceD]

I don’t think we’ve lost a single puck battle the entire game.

I was mocked endlessly but I still stand by it. He will be bought out before 2028

 

[PavelBure10]

I am ready to get a extra 11.6 off of the books. Sorry to say but I have lost faith. A fresh start might be good for all parties involved.

 

[alternate]

Don't say this often, but go Leaves.

 

[Vector]

I take it you didn’t watch the 1st period?

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Other than when Colorados top unit is on the ice they are not dangerous in the slightest.

 

[iFan]

If we could trade Pettersson and the player(s) coming back have the same impact as the Miller trade we could save the season. EP40 play is a guy who doesn’t want to be here, move him well we have control, once his NMC kicks in we make life much more difficult for us

 

[DiggerDan]

Wow, while they're still in the honeymoon phase you HAVE to question Toch's system when the new guys are having so much more success not dumping and chasing. There were obvious moments in that period when Joshua, Petey, and Blueger all dumped it when they had room to skate.

Overall, many positives. The D looks much, much better even without Hughes. Good on Toch for making the line adjustment putting Boeser with Chytil, but I'm not convinced this system works for us anymore.

 

[moiderer]

Most exciting period at home this season. D looks like it's shored up allowing some glimpses of forward depth.

Need more goals to come from somewhere though. 100 goals between Miller, Boeser, and Petey last season that might have dried up moving forward.

 

[alternate]

Avs should have acquired Chytil.

 

[sting101]

Well.

Why has he gone away from the system that has +20% shooters up and down the lineup?

time and time again it's just excuses and lack of accountability

Miller 100pts Stamkos 51 goals after 23. Hughes Norris Boeser 40

 

[Curm]

D looks pretty good considering Hughes isn't there to play 25 minutes. Solid 3rd pairing work, the smaller North American ice seems to play to EP25's strengths and Soucy has been steady and a hell of a lot better playing his off side than Juulsen looks there. The coaches must be loving EP25's game tonight.

Boeser looked much better with Chytl and DOC, their speed is such a noticeable upgrade.

 

[Lenny Levino]

I am ready to get a extra 11.6 off of the books. Sorry to say but I have lost faith. A fresh start might be good for all parties involved.

Last chance is the Four Nations. I think he will have his old SHL coach. Lets see if that can help. If not, I say trade him.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Minnesota looks cooked right now.
