GDT: [GM61] Canucks vs Penguins | Tue. Feb 27th, 7:00pm | SNP | Sid the Not-At-All-A-Kid is in Town

Been asking for this for awhile now, long term I’d still stack a top unit but for now it makes sense to do this just to shake things up. Sucks that Joshua is hurt because he’d be a great net front powerplay option with split units.

After getting rid of Kuzmenko the team can hardly start complaining about garbage goal scoring. He was better than Boeser last year but wasn't used in the same way this year.

Zarodov would be a hoot in front of the net, just for shits and giggles they should try to put the biggest guys all out there on the PP with only Hughes or Miller on the ice.

Point shot 6 feet wide but easily deflected back by Myers, Soucy or Zadoroz casually reaching out. Or some of these little dmen trying to move a planted Zadorov who then just shrugs the guy into the goalie, sort of a reverse box out

Do fans remember when Byfuglien or Burns planted themselves in front of the net. And the Canucks had good large dmen then and couldn't do a thing except take penalties.

I totally get that..they will probably do that at the end of the season..Right now though,unless they have a better option (Soucy)..He should stay in the lineup.

Apparently, he was not too happy about being a healthy scratch about a month ago.

In any sport players will try to play when they shouldn't. If the coach thinks resting Cole is the right call, I have no issue with resting him even if that means Friedman plays more games than would be ideal. If Soucy will be back in less than a week, then I'm also fine with waiting until he's back to rest Cole.

Is Tyler myers really on the halfwall for the Powerplay? I feel like we're in looney land

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I see it the opposite.

HNIC has a sense of history and the sacredness of the lineage of the sport in Canada.

Watching Biz pretend to jump someone for sports fandom is just staged ADHD nonsense for the Fortnight crowd.

And I don't hate Biz and think he has some good contributions in the media, but I really find this comparison alienating as I couldn't disagree with the person tweeting more than I do.

Nah
HNIC has wayyyy passed its time

I think the opposite, not because I like what HNIC has become under Rogers but because in an age where people are so disconnected and brands change things constantly little bit of continuity here and there is needed.

Anyone know of the best place to stream games? In Mexico still and don't want to miss anymore games.

Hoping the Canucks pound the Penguins tonight and the team figures out their powerplay issues.

It's a trick play. Hughes hides behind Myers and then pops out into the slot for an uncontested shot.

Starting to load manage now as a much more beneficial effect in the playoffs than load managing them right before it

SN+ and a VPN?

Search harder, there are ways that I can’t disclose here

That's no trick. The real trick is Myers hiding behind Hughes and coming out for a huge clapper.

This is so obvious

Pulling guys out of the lineup in February has a more beneficial effect for the playoffs than in April (when you’ve already nailed down a playoff spot..?)

No it wouldn’t…and thats why NHL coaches don’t do this.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I like bains net front. He looks like he's still adjusting and should figure it out the next few weeks.
Maybe they called him up early so he's ready for nhl hockey before playoffs start idk.

Sure

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Sure

Maybe we should sit Quinn Hughes for a few games on this homestand..?

EGAD! What do i say to taking a player 10 yrs younger and applying the same concept

Meet in the middle..manage minutes?.. yeah i will go with manage minutes down the stretch

 

[Shareefruck]

time to give ian cole a break. fatigue has set in for him the last 2-3 weeks.

Feels like we've been saying this all year.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Game tonight.
Nucks win.
Pens leave without Guentzel.

 

[BWJM]

First full game in awhile I'll be able to watch

 

[LordBacon]

Hogs deserves chances on the pp.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

is this game on Pay Per View?

Do I spend the $15 bucks or get a couple of the boys together and go to Boston Pizza for a team pitcher of Labatt Blue

choices choices

Definitely the pitcher it's not even debatable.

 

[MS]

The extent to which they’re galaxy braining the PP setups is actually impressive.

Just go back to what works.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I'd have relations with all of you for a win tonight.

Those were the days....

It always seemed like the PPV games would be a terribly boring Sunday game too. And then you get the horrendous analysis of Kirk McLean awkwardly sitting there with his hands between his knees.

Feels like we've been saying this all year.

I keep saying we need to bring in some young ladies dressed as schoolgirls as motivation.
