I’ve only seen the replay once, didn’t watch it live (turned off after one period) and don’t really care if he is suspended or not (apparently not), but if that hit had been on Boeser, or Pettersson or Hughes or any other Canuck besides Lui, this place would be on fire with outrage.

Thought it was worthy of 2 games. Maybe the league thinks playing Myers is more of a punishment?

Canucks' 5v5 Two-way Numbers by Line

Elias Pettersson-3.37-37.0%
Bo Horvat-1.98-52.4%
Jay Beagle-2.63-47.7%
Adam Gaudette-3.67-38.2%

Bo Horvat’s line is pulling its weight, but it gets concerning very quickly after that. Beagle’s group has held its ground, but the Pettersson and Adam Gaudette lines are just hemorrhaging five-star scoring chances one after the other.

On the blue line, Quinn Hughes has displayed the type of defensive warts that we never really saw in his rookie season. He’s been unaware of the offensive threats around him, has consistently lost inside position in high danger areas and the team’s paid for it dearly. No Canuck defenceman has been on the ice for a higher rate of actual or expected goals against at 5-on-5, with Hughes posting a ghastly 36.8 percent expected goal share.

One would suspect there’s some collinearity between Pettersson and Hughes’ lacking two-way results given how much time they spend on the ice together, but it’s concerning nonetheless. Hughes has at least been an excellent offensive creator with six assists already, but he’s clearly not on his A-game either given his growing pains away from the puck.

Long read on the Athletic this morning, long story short, Pettersson and Gaudette lines are bleeding offensive chances like crazy. Losing Tanev hurting Hughes game a lot at this point!!

You needed to read that, to determine that?
Also, Hughes has sucked goatballs.

Hughes also looked very good with Schenn the year before. We are two weeks in.

You have to remember a few weeks ago at free agency, you and most people here said don't bring back these guys. I like Toffoli but I am still glad we did not sign him for four years and I am very happy we walked away from the others also. They made us a bubble team and like Rueby has been saying sometimes you need to take a step back before you go forward.

All 3 of those guys, Elias, Quinn and Gaudette, have very little to contribute if they aren't producing, they actually become liabilities on the ice.
Obviously this is just my opinion. I just dont think these guys are nearly as good as people pump them up to be.

Yeah, I thought token 2 games, maybe because it’s a short season one. Guess they thought the penalty and the loss was enough.

These guys are so soft, and Miller to Horvat so lethal, they might just make the playoffs on PP goals alone!

Probably no better year to find out where the team and players are sitting. Lots of RFAs and UFAs next year.

The team has been so bad this year that Pearson is going unnoticed and he has been very quiet also.

So top ten is out then?

If I had a vote I would wait it out a lot longer. Fans are having a huge laugh at the expense of everything falling apart to the start of the season. I turned off the game after two periods last night it was that hard to watch.

I have no doubt this is more than likely Greens last year but waiting longer when other teams fire their coaches gives you more of a selection instead of being focused on one unemployed coach that can't find a job.

The longer the bleeding goes it also gives me as a fan a longer look at players I would not get to see in a normal season like OJ Chatfield.

Petey and Hughes have been way below par and I want to see how they rebound. The plus side of their poor play is it has taken them out of the 9 mil per year contract talks and dropped them to 7 mil or lower if the poor play continues.

Lastly for me it will show or expose Benning. It is going to be a very big year next year and I want to see how he stickhandles out of his mistakes like Loui and the bottom 6 .

you know what's crazy? think about the topics we've (HB) been discussing; coaching change and firing the gm.

we're literally 9 days into the season. a fcuking week and 2 days (8 days actually since games haven't started today)! what a crazy season!!!

Trade Elias for PLD. Problems solved. Get grittier and replace his production. At the same time

I agree and no one is surprised. If Canucks win a game we are planning the parade if we lose a game fire everyone. It has been like that for years.

I really doubt it will be the same in a month but I still want to play the young guys and not play Loui no matter what the record shows. Make all the changes you think you need to make next year when it is more of a normal year.

just because i'm a pom pom guy , i'll point out that if they're going to be struggling, i'd rather it be petey and hughes.

i might be wearing my rose coloured glasses but i see those two working out of their issues.

it's depth and bottom 6 that concern me as the season goes on. but a lot of teams will be exposed this season.

Yup six games into the season is when most people decide whether a team is a bust or not.

Demko and Podz for PLD. Might wanna shop Demko now. You know, before his GAA gets to 6.00 behind the D lol

Security cameras showing a nice sunny day in Scottsdale. Getting closer to going home. Although this morning I heard Trudeau say they are going to be making harder for travellers to come back home in the coming months?

The team is too
Soft, everyone can agree on that. hog Highes, Elias, Rath, Juolevi etc. Our core are a bunch of smurfs. Swapping out Elias for a gritty Canadian w skill will fix a lot of issues
