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

[arttk]

I agree, and when Blueger comes back there are five options available at centre without Aman as Suter can move there if needed. Phil D has definitely earned it based on level of play.

Seems like Aman can be replaced with Sasson if he gets claimed.

Skinner wearing Mike Smith-esque retro gear and diving like a prime Mike Smith is comedy

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Pretty much. I mean PDG is a better player but doesn’t play center.

Hog and defense, if that doesn’t improve he’s going to be traded

PDG had 3 point in his last 36 games. Him or Aman doesn’t really matter. Kind if sad none of the young’s guys has really put a fight for that spot.

 

[Canucks LB]

The boys are playing fantastic against basically the Edmonton Oilers starting roster

 

[DimitriL07]

Sherwood is a gem

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Is McDavid recovered from the virtual decapitation he suffered at the hands of the Canucks in the playoffs?

Well we are talking about who to waive because Raty is winning a spot

 

[Phrasing]

I’ve really like Kudryavtsev so far. More than Forbort. Has some rough edges, but with some good coaching I think he’s close to an NHL player.

 

[BWJM]

Boys didn't play too bad, nice to see Lankenin not get lit up in this one too (so far).

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

He’s really not ready. Is better prepared than I thought he would be but definitely needs AHL time.

We're fortunate to have a decent forward group.

Lord knows a guy like him would have been rushed into the NHL during that stupid 2016-2019 period.

Sherwood is a gem

My favourite signing from this summer. Motor always going, we’re going to destroy all the 4th line matchups if Suter/Blueger and PDG/Hoglander end up on that line.

“Accelerated development”

 

[Blue and Green]

Yeah, it's not like it's a big blow to an organization if a fringe guy gets claimed, whether it's Aman or Phil D or whoever. And not many guys are claimed off of preseason waivers anyway.

“Accelerated development”

Plus no short cuts.

 

[wonton15]

Raty went 3/3 on faceoffs
Kudryavtsev with 6 shot attempts

Neat

Kudryavtsev deserves a longer look atp.

 

[orcatown]

Mueller and Kudryavstev have impressed, again.

Agree although Mueller has so little finish. Speed to get there but can't do much when he does. However, he has got better through the pre season.

Lekkermaki disappointing again. Gets caught up in traffic too much.

Friedman, at this point, may well make the team. Another efficient game. Also Sprong just has too much game to not keep him. Not resulting in much but he looks dangerous.

Pettersson got a little better as period went on, but his skating needs lots of work. Looks like he caught in a revolving door as he spins about.

Canucks icing a decent wheels - no hands team

Hopefully basically an Abbotsford team can hang in there

 

[LemonSauceD]

they should really make Friedman a winger lol

Our very own Brent Burns.

 

[logan5]

The passing is horrible. Can't seem to complete more than 2 passes in a row. Most of the games have been like this.

 

[Tables of Stats]

Lanks is looking more settled in the net tonight. He still has some plays that show he's not completely dialled in, but not nearly as shakey as his first game.

 

[wonton15]

Friedman gets RKO’d once a game, it’s almost comedic at this point

 

[Canucker]

Friedman needs to be on this team.

Tocchet loves PDG and he's beloved in the room so I don't see him getting waived over Aman.

 

[Jovofan]

Nice goal!
