GDT: [GM55] Canucks vs Maple Leafs | Sat, Feb. 8th | 4:00pm | HNIC | East vs West

Fantastic period of hockey. Hopefully Pettersson can build off of that great assist. Please sign DOC, he's 10x as effective as Heinen. They're finally able to play fast hockey with the additions up front and on D.

 

[Regal]

Guys finally show up for the home crowd but it's all Leafs fans!

Seeing home jerseys in the crowd is the problem, confirmed

Well because Suter was just as good on that line last year. And they are using it as a matchup line and Tocchet trusts Suter more than Blueger in that role right now.

Suter was on that line very briefly at the beginning of last season but they really took off when Blueger joined them.

Also I trust Blueger more than anyone on this team. He's my boy.

Dammit. Demko was starting to look like himself too.

We are living in Foborts world right now

I kneel.

I think they're looking for something that isn't there.

New generation is soft. Guys were tougher with cigarettes than quinoa

A hacking cough helps keep you loose

 

[PG Canuck]

Really don’t have much faith in Demko these days.

 

[Knight53]

Hronek has been a monster lately

 

[logan5]

Wow. That was a great shift by Pettersson.

 

[Nuckles]

Allvin needs to lock up Lankinen and DOC ASAP

 

[Hansen]

I think they're looking for something that isn't there.

(Demko warmup stuff)

I dont know that moment they showed looked similar to what took him out against Nashville

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Yeah he's done great in very limited minutes lately.............I wish he would get played a bit more sometimes but he was just on the pp1 for a sec so he's getting a bit more time........maybe he's starting to grow on Rick

I hope so. I love him as a player and he needs some support and confidence. Really pulling for him.

The 4th line is my "boy" line if Aman can keep it up.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Hronek has been a monster lately

I've always been his biggest supporter. He's a #1 and with Hughes out he's finally getting to prove it. Steal of a contract too.

 

[ephmrl]

I think they're looking for something that isn't there.

(Demko warmup stuff)

Fairly sure it's the collarbone from the shot he took up high. Not concerned (yet).

 

[SillyRabbit]

Hronek has been a monster lately

Really nice to see what he can do as the #1D out there.

He completely defers to Hughes when they're paired together.

Would be nice to get him out on his own pairing with M-Petey if we can find anyone better than Myers to pair with Hughes.

 

[VanJack]

Aside from Demko who I'm sure is fine, that was about as good as I could hope for.
Boys... Please don't tease me. Let it be real

Not sure I share your confidence on Demko. Kelly Hrudy reporting that Demko looked awkward and was experiencing some difficulty in the warmup.

Hrudy studies the goalies a lot more closely than other analysts. Would be another devastating development if it's anything of significance.

Allvin needs to lock up Lankinen and DOC ASAP

Lankinen was looking for a starting roll last offseason. The way he’s played this year, he’s probably going to so the same, can’t blame him either. But I do hope they resign him.

Curt Ridley could kick all of their asses.

Coughing is core and back training. Checkmate zoomers

 

[Jack Tripper]

Even if the in-game injury has no connection to the warmup video, that video isn’t a great sign.

 

[thecupismine]

Please keep Sherwood with Petey, they should be stapled together moving forward.

Sherwood’s energy constantly brings Petey into the fight, and when Petey is engaged, he’s a great player. For whatever reason that no one can understand, that energy is too all over the place otherwise.

 

[PavelBure10]

If Pettersson can turn things around and become himself again it would be game breaking. Things would be solid going forward if Petey finds his game again.

nice to see EP1 knee tendinitis heal for this game, hopefully doesn't flare up during 4nations
