You are very negative.
All Russians float and goal suck, that’s who they are. As long as you appreciate other aspects of their games, you will see their value.

Gaunce is good. I like him.
Chaput is crap, (frank)er shouldn’t even be in the ahl let alone the nhl.

Isn't malkin good defensively? weren't fedorov and datsyuk?

He is a big time floater. A couple of times he literally stopped skating when he knew the puck was going to be in the dirty areas. He needs to work on improving his work ethic as well. Otherwise, his skill is great!

Oh I agree. Thought it would create too much hysteria if I spoke the truth and don't feel like arguing about a player who is a stop gap.

Datsyuk... total floater

That guy had hands like feet too

Gaunce is a bigger body than goldy and burmistrov but im not sure hes tougher? Virtanen and Dowd need to play to their strengths tonight against a tough team like them.

Canuucks would be nuts to try to match the physical game . Just play to the speed of the game. If Calgary go head hunting then take out Gaudreau or Monahan don't try to take out Ferland

Even when Bure floated, he was still the fastest guy on the ice.

Gaunce over goldobin is a joke.
Chaput over burmistrov too
Dowd makes sense with ferland and tkachuk playing

Just catching up.
And i'll bet this is mentioned later in the comments, but it sounds like Green is focusing on effort (something those Russians seem to lack at times).

I got no problem with Green benching those guys and trying something else.

Not sure about the rest of you. But the second it was announced BoHo was out for 6 weeks. I shut the door on any playoff hopes for this year.

Dowd Will help ease the pain. But he wont even remotely bring to the table what Horvat did.

But who knows, this team has shocked me so far this season.

If Im wrong thats great. If Im not...... Well were right back where I thought we'd be at the beginning of the season.

Cant Complain I guess...

Yeah. That kinda put the nail in the coffin for any sort of Cinderella story for me.

Edit: Well fine then, have it your way. If you want to play that way then Boeser is our #1 target. If we take him out then your really up schit creek without a paddle..

Don't think its about Canucks intimidating with hits but fighting through the physicality with grit. TG seems to be trying to boost fore-check to hem in Flames. Hope for a greasy goal or free puck up for snipe from one of the capable scorers.

Don't like that Goldy is out but the center hole sort of hurts his game effectiveness. If this set up proves successful for TG he'll probably run with it against the upcoming heavy opposition until Sutter is back. Then draw Goldy back in to shed Chaput to AHL.

This is what happens when you have a couple of idjits on your team that take liberties.
Or at least it's what should happen...somehow i can't quite see Henrik tapping Jake and suggesting he run anyone.

Thx much Carol.

Very glad we passed on Tkachuk in the draft guy is a total tool.

Having said that I'll say 6-2 Flames. Gonna be rough for Van to match the Flames physicality tonight. Horvat out just kills.

Agree if Ferklund is going to be out there running around like a jackass trying to injure players payback should be a must.

With Horvat out we are already pooched.

Watching the Canucks lose this game, potentially, will give me heartburn, hate the Flames, so I may just have to watch another game or a movie.
