Post-Game Talk: [Pre-Season] GM03 | Kraken def. Canucks | 3-1 (Myers)

[dez]

Forbert looks as advertised…. Terrible

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

No real point in watching this.

Time to switch over to Bluey.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Plus side - Kudryatsev looks good.

Also think Sasson and Karlsson had a solid period. Probably our best forwards (good news for them, bad news for us)

Pretty poor period altogether.

 

[Canucks LB]

Hey guys, I missed the first period, who was good who was bad who was OK?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Forbert looks as advertised…. Terrible

IMO - Kudryatsev could be making a case to bump him out of the top six.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

I really can’t gather the energy to be upset about the quality of a pre-season game. These things used to be completely inaccessible.

True.

At least we're not still in the era of paying for Canucks hockey PPV lol

Sad grainy experience that was.

 

[Flik]

Ah well, this is definitely a pre-season game, have a wonderful evening y'all!

 

[Nuckles]

Trust the process. It worked last game

Kudryatsev and Karlsson looked decent.... thats about it.

Forbort looked terrible

 

[Baszie]

18.2% on Face-offs.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Forbort looked terrible

A lot of guys, him included, just falling over. Bizarre.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

18.2% on Face-offs.

Raty’s chances getting a bump.

 

[moiderer]

Don't expect the vets to try that hard but this might be the only material concern so far.

 

[Metalwood]

Lankinien in town 3 days and people be like “ he sucks” jeeez

 

[ephmrl]

Forbort looked terrible

His lack of footspeed is alarming. He's good good at defending in his own end, but off the rush he's a massive liability

Nah, Forbort wasn't one of their 1st UFA signings because of what he brings 5v5. He's here to anchor the PK and he's looked good there so far.

 

[Hansen]

Over kill with the Graphics. A replay when the play is going on. Hate when b/c technology is there they feel have to use it.

Its because the broadcast on canucks.com is the arena jumbotron feed not a tv broadcast

If Forbort doesnt turn it up a notch becomes a litmus test for Tocchet if he plays a guy who deserves it over a shitty “proven” vet

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Lankinien in town 3 days and people be like “ he sucks” jeeez

I don’t think he sucks, he’s just got a case of backup goalie-itis. He’ll make some great saves, and then get beat by a really pedestrian shot (or two). Is what it is. And playing behind a roster / defense like tonight’s, not exactly a great recipe for success for him.

Two deflected shots go in…goalie critics are in mid season form.

 

[Canucks LB]

@Balls Mahoney Your missing the game!

Forbort looks legitimately horrible. On the 2-0 goal the problem wasn't that he deflected the puck in, it was that he looked like he was skating in molasses when Ryan Winterton carried the puck in on the zone entry that led to the goal. Danny Dekeyser type stuff if you remember his preseason a couple years ago.

All 3 young defenders had good periods. Felton has a lot more evasiveness and puck skill than his NCAA statline would suggest and has dealt with the forecheck pretty impressively.

Felton does look pretty good. He will need some work in the AHL but as the season goes he might be able to play some minutes.

Cole was miles, miles better than Forbort. I can’t believe we actually signed this guy.
