Waiting for the oilers to make a panicked move next.
Can’t trade McD.
Nurse looking like an anchor.
Time to trade Drai.

They have crap to offer other than Drai & maybe RNH & Hyman.

Could trade picks but bad idea there.

Not hockey related but if you ever want to see a great police chase this one is one of the best. They could use this in a movie.

It’s a horrible time for sure. McD doesn’t look right. Buckle up & grind it out probably best idea.

Can't argue.

Interesting tid bit from Drance about how the Canucks have been deploying their lines:

The self-match

There’s an interesting quirk in Vancouver’s deployment this season; particularly, superstar centre Elias Pettersson and superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes are logging far less ice time with one another than they typically have under previous Canucks coaches.

This is intentional and there’s a reason for it. Tocchet and Canucks assistant coach Adam Foote are effectively self-matching their top line (centred by J.T. Miller) and their top defence pair with Hughes and Filip Hronek, utilizing the club’s two best puck-movers to help the Miller line battle toughs.

“Well, first of all, it’s good that (Foote) agrees with me and the philosophy!” joked Tocchet after practice.

He then revealed the genesis of this idea, which traces back to something Mike Sullivan implemented in Pittsburgh when he took over for Mike Johnston in December 2015.

“I’ve got to tell you,” Tocchet began. “My experience in Pittsburgh, when we were struggling and then Mike Sullivan came in: We started to play Kris Letang with the Sidney Crosby line and our team turned over around Christmas time. So it’s a bit of experience from the past with me knowing that, but having those five guys to play against the opposition’s top line, and it doesn’t always happen, but for large chunks of this year we’ve had those five guys out against star players.”

As for Pettersson, who is logging a ton of ice time with Ian Cole when he used to play the bulk of his minutes with Hughes behind him, my strong suspicion is that Tocchet is using his most reliable play-driving centre to help mask this club’s most notable player personnel gap — the lack of quality blue-line depth. But when asked specifically about it on Wednesday afternoon, Tocchet suggested that he’s just going for familiarity.

“We want to play fast. We don’t want to take pucks back,” he said. “If you want to regroup a bit more it would probably be with the Pettersson line, but if Ian Cole and Tyler Myers or those guys are on, they know when they play with Petey that they want to play fast. So it’s just a more predictable game when you have play with certain lines.”
