Post-Game Talk: [Pre-Season] Game 2 | Vancouver Canucks defeat Calgary Flames | 4-3 OT (Sasson, Debrusk(2), & Sprong)

[ferroid]

Lekk is really great, he's so smart and the puck just seems to follow him around in all three zones

Where tf is m2b and sopelfan3rd

 

[Peen]

Yes. Not necessarily dressed for every game but on the roster.

Only @Peen thinks he might get cut for some reason.

Yes. Assuming full health up front, I question it as a certainty.

I think there’s 11 clear F before Sprong. Then you factor in that they have gone 8D instead of 14F when healthy. They also may go three goalies which cuts an extra spot.

And then… if Sprong doesn’t have a significantly better camp in terms of showing Tocchet he can improve defensively, I think that pushes him down. he’s competing for either the 12th or 13th spot. And one of those spots will go to a C. It’s just competitive. Tocchet knows what he gets from PDG, Aman. And Raty is pushing. I don’t see enough pace from Karlsson, Bains, Blais, and Sasson is a pure 4c bet and nothing else so he can go down.

But regardless yeah idk. It’s just a numbers thing. Still think they did good to trade Podkolzin.

Lekkerimaki needs another year to develop physically.

So does Petey.

 

[quat]

Feels like the Canucks are winning

 

[moiderer]

Bains-Sprong look like a discount Wilson-Ovechkin tonight.

Petey line is missing some chemistry so far. Debrusk is nowhere in sight whenever Petey's got the puck and Lekkerimaki has been sharp but very passive in the o zone.

 

[wonton15]

I’m really liking Desharnais so far. Soucy is really carrying that second pair for us

 

[bbud]

Pre season refs mode too

 

[Phrasing]

Wolanin not doing himself any favors.

Also VD hopefully keeps the intensity the same but more clean. Also VD is an unfortunate set of initials…

 

[Jovofan]

Lekk has shown a knack for getting into good position but he seems a bit gunshy to let it rip when he's got the puck, has been deferring a lot.

 

[quat]

Soucy!

Everything we know implies or directly states the organization and player are invested in each other, they're definitely going to work with him for awhile.

Tocchet called him directly before signing, almost zero chance he's waived before game one .

 

[wonton15]

Am I going to be buying a Sherwood jersey?

 

[RobsonStreet]

Peak HFBoards mindset

 

[Jovofan]

Sherwood was such a great signing.

 

[quat]

Woo with a shot

 

[wonton15]

PDG - Blueger - Sherwood would be an insanely effective 4th line.

 

[WTG]

Woo with a shot

Could that shot be the turning point of the season?

 

[LordBacon]

This management knows how to find a good support cast,
I'll give them that for free.

 

[logan5]

Maybe our PK can crack the top 10 this year.

 

[moiderer]

Sprong in the d zone and neutral zone is fascinating. Never know what's gonna happen.

 

[Jovofan]

Before they said his name a moment ago I literally didn't even see Raty on the ice this period.

 

[quat]

Could that shot be the turning point of the season?

I think we are witness to the emergence of a star

Lots of folks still coming out of hibernation.
