Post-Game Talk: Preseason GM05| Vancouver Canucks lose to Edmonton Oilers in Shootout | 2-3 (Bains & Smith)

[Canucker]

Sprong is such an x-factor on offense. Dude just marches to his own beat no matter what.

Looks like a beer league superstar.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Good for Lankinen. Looks pretty solid.

 

[Canuckle1970]

D-Pete having his best game so far. Very encouraging for the future.

 

[Lat]

Lankinen didn't have a chance.

 

[Kryten]

What unfortunate initials for that dirtbag

 

[wonton15]

Perry just completely unchecked lol gotta love preseason coverage

 

[Coffees]

Somebody needs to remind him he’s not that guy anymore

You tell him

 

[bbud]

That was not good d pre season special

 

[Blue and Green]

Bains is having a heck of a game. I really like Sherwood aswwll.

Agree. Bains got deployed over his head in his call-up stints last season. At some point, he needs to get a chance just to be a safe, reliable 4th-line guy. He doesn't make many big mistakes and is intelligent in his defensive play.

Sherwood really looks like a solid addition.

Drake Caggiula is a name I haven't heard in a while.

 

[Kryten]

Someone please put the old man down

 

[Nomobo]

Podz still skating miles and accomplishing nothing.

 

[Svencouver]

The Oilers are such losers

 

[wonton15]

Kudryavtsev is oddly very stocky and strong. He looks like he has a Martin St Louis build out there

 

[ProviesGhost]

Stetcher still has a muffin shot.

Yeah, it's a bit sad to see. Tracking to be a less physically-gifted Puljujarvi.

Dan Boyle, if we're going to reference that team.

 

[Vector]

Friedman is my favourite.

Podz still skating miles and accomplishing nothing.

I feel like the vision, playmaking, and skill part of his game really dried up in the KHL. I was really impressed with those qualities in the WJC but how he was developed to be just a skate skate skate full-send checking wrecking ball never inspired much confidence

A lot of kids have shown well despite what happens in the end.

EP2 - makes strides every game but is slow to read where the play is going and gets caught. Some AHL seasoning is in order but he’s had a fine camp.

Lekk - he needs AHL seasoning but I honestly think for him this is a matter of learning the smaller ice surface. I don’t think he’s that far off tbh

Aman - he sure is written on the lineup card. Yep sure is. (Same can be said for Podz on the other side)

Raty - definitely worked on his skating. He should stick.

Hogs - still defensive issues but his motor remains one of the best. But he desperately needs to clean that part of his game up.

Juulsen - well the couple dozen decent game he provided last season are a distant memory. He’s back to AHL fodder Juulsen.

Sasson - safety in case Aman gets claimed and likely one of the first call ups

KK - really nice game. Kid has some nice tools. Excited to see how he develops over the next 18-24 months.


EP2, KK, Willander…nice to see some d-men with legitimate futures in the organization

I remember seeing Martin St Louis in person and immediately noticing how ridiculously massive his legs were.

In before @SopelFanThe3rd turns this post into an innuendo.

 

[Canucks LB]

Ohhhh babby!!! Goal

 

[Vector]

Beautiful.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

PDG gave the point man so much time. No clue what he was doing there.

 

[wonton15]

How was Kudryavstev a 7th round pick? I’m thoroughly impressed

 

[bbud]

That wasn't interference lol.
Good job taking it back boom
