So does Cole, for that matter.

That’s what I’m f***ing talking about. Hook that sort of effort to my veins.
WOOOOO!
WOOOOO!

That trade was a big W for VCR
Loved that scrum where every one had a guy and miller had no helmut and just looking around nobody grabbed him
Canucks with much more purpose and direction in this one. Really the whole Tocchet era, to date, has been one of consistent development and more wins than losses. Lot of the goals come off playing good defense and sound neutral play rather than giving up defense to score.
Good - many good efforts. Thought the best of them were:
Hughes - nothing to add - play says it all.
Miller - I'd put him in the top dozen players in the League at present
Hronek - sort of Mississippi gambler and tries to make scary plays, at times, but overall he was excellent in every zone. Management seems to have made an excellent read on this player.
Di Guiseppe - the most surprising thing about this player (other than how he's come from almost nowhere) is the speed he exhibits on the forecheck. Got pressure on the Blues all game and nice touch on his goal.
Demko - made very good saves at critical parts of the game and thus didn't allow Blues get any momentum going. Rebound control was first rate - just enveloped the shots
Others
Friedman - best game so far. Puck movement from the back was actually good and demonstrated a good turn of speed in shutting down St. Louis's rushes.
Myers - can always find fault but he was steady enough thru most of it.
Garland - might be the best on the team in breaking up plays coming out of the other teams defensive end and thru the neutral zone. Love the energy even if he isn't putting up much in the way of points. Unless I get a very good offer, I'm for keeping Garland
Beauvillier - evenly spaced ice time and Beuvillier got his fair share. However, I'd say he is the player most underplaying his salary. Just can't seem to get to the net or pounce on chances. Not bad in the general flow but you can get a lot cheaper and more physical player doing what he's doing. Unless he can start producing points don't see him getting re-signed.
Hoglander - every game the other team is after him. Making himself a pest and working decently on his line.
The only aspect of this game you could criticize was the PP. I don't think Pettersson is working it as well as in the past and Boeser needs to do better with his chances. Otherwise this was excellent effort by the team.

Imagine this team with just Bear over Myers? Next off-season we could get someone like Tanev and this team could actually be a contender.

Quinn Hughes leads the league in +/-
I know ir's a meh stat but Hughes' +/- use to be the butt end of peoples jokes during the bubble season. He's really turned it around.

Crazy how fast the 2019 SC champ got dissembled
Pietrangelo, ROR, Tarasenko, Schwartz, Bouwmeester
Breakers
Make Mirrored Visors Legal Again
Just keep your playing Myers less and less
Cole and Myers together was toxic toxic levels of bad in a small sample,
If coke and Friedman work well.

Obviously season still young but
It’s funny seeing some opposing fans (mostly oilers fans) saying that we usually fade later in the season
No, it’s been the opposite the past couple years, we started terrible and didnt start playing until the calendar turns when it’s too late

Standard explanations when being disappointed with your start.
yeah not quite sure what bugging him ...

I do not like this man.
It's like Big Bang Theory - not about nerds or geeks, it's people who are not nerds or geeks think what nerds and geeks are like.
But I appreciate his effort, pitiful and misguided it may be.
Two games so far on home ice Canucks have outscored their opponents 13-1. Been a long time since the Canucks so thoroughly dominated a Blues teams like they did tonight.
This team really does have dynamic offense--and it all starts with Hughes on the back-end. Such an asset on breakouts and in generating odd-man rushes. Canucks could easily have scored another four or five goals in this one.

Rangers are already in town with nothing to do on a Friday night. I'm feeling a little "Roxy Flu" coming on.
