Big loss to one of the shittiest teams in the league.   

Our defence is awful and we need Demko back. 
They miss Boeser 

 

Oh bother

Just rewatched Millers 2 shifts in the 3rd. He didnt make any obvious mistakes to warrant a benching. He also didn't give any indication he got injured. 

So could be either I guess.

No words for how disjointed this team looks defensively 

 

We had so many shots blocked, and yet they were getting into dangerous areas on our zone 

 

If Miller is injured, sit him. Don’t let him sit there and do nothing

This core really about to get another coach canned. This is what 3? 4 coaches now? But they aren't the problem? I mean, the math doesn't make sense to me, but sure. Coaching is the problem again.

Maybe it's not the coaches.

I suppose the good news is that Pettersson looks to be getting into a groove

... And the bad news is almost everyone else is getting out of it.

Enough is enough already with the Soucy/Myers as a second pairing d. It ain’t working and it’s a big void. People wonder why Hughes hasn’t looked great the last couple of games. He’s being relied upon way too much. Imagine how much better he would be if they have another top offensive d on the second pairing they could throw out there.

 

Myers and Soucy:

Just going to post what I wrote in the off-season in a topic which was asking who do people want Canucks to sign, so people realize I'm behind what I keep saying.

Jake Guentzel 

 

Since it's proposals might as well go all in. Trade Pettersson, trade Hronek, trade or buy out Mikheyev, let Myers walk, let Cole walk. Sign Guentzel, sign Tanev or Pesce, sign Zadorov, sign Lindholm, sign Joshua, sign Silovs. Duchene would be a decent option at a good price as well.

Last year, Soucy and Myers as a paring was fine because of Cole and Zadorov were able to take mintues away form them

 

Last year's distribution of ice time on a regular game goes:

  • Hughes/Hronek: 22-23 minutes
  • Soucy/Myers: 17-19 minutes
  • Cole/Zadorov: 17-19 minutes

Which ever pairs if the 2nd and 3rd pairing had more juice or have a better game will get a little bit more ice time.

 

This season, due to a significantly weaker third pairing, the distribution sort of goes the following:

  • Hughes/Hronek: 25-26 minutes
  • Soucy/Myers: 19-20 minutes
  • Brannstrom/Forbort/Desharnais/Juulsen: 14-15 minutes

The moment Soucy and Myers ice time sees an uptick, they struggle a lot more. They also take more harder minutes due to the third pairing gets sheltered deployment. Ideally, the team needs an upgrade on a defensive pairing right away.

  • Hughes/Hronek
  • M. Pettersson/Borgan* (both acquired via trades)
  • Soucy/Myers

Then we can go back on rotating the 6 D the way we did last season. Brannstrom, Desharnais, Forbort will serve as depth options.
