Miller - Petey - Motte (miller/petey is a line on it's own, all they need is a energy gritty guy on their wing)

Pearson - Horvat - Boeser (boeser adds a top gunner to the 2nd line)

Hoglander - Sutter - Highmore (hoglander/highmore both all out relentless speedsters with tremendous work ethic/energy)

Boyd, Vesey, Roussel, Hawryluk, MacEwen, Virtanen, Beagle(whenever he returns), for these guys whoever is playing with gusto gets to play!
The team does not have enough skill to run 3 lines so put your top players in lines 1 and 2. I want to see the team at least score some goals and have some excitement instead of playing a trap type of game or what ever Green will do.

They contract to their own slot and flail at pucks til the other teams get minimum 40 shots

He sucked?

Id say its hockey sense. Just doesnt see the ice very well
Completely disagree. Few on the Canucks are as good at finding the soft spots in the o-zone. He plays like a goal scorer but had trouble finishing plays.

His d-zone play wasn’t anything impressive, the attempted conversion to wing didn’t yield better results. His skating is ultimately not a strength, and I while he’s a hell of a 5th rounder, I think we saw why he was a 5th rounder.
Something happened to him between the COVID pause and the bubble. He was shooting 16% last season, en route to a very good offensive output for a 3rd-liner/2nd PPer. He only had 4 shots in 10 games in the bubble, and was shooting 6.8% this season. The weird thing as well is he was getting quite a few more shots/game than last year, so he wasn't gun-shy.

After last year, I thought his offence would out-balance his defensive deficiencies and he'd fit in as a winger. I don't know why his offence died, but without it he didn't bring much to the table.

Honestly have to consider that maybe Gaudette, like the Canucks as a team, just isn’t that good and last summer’s playoff bubble performance was nothing more than that.....a burst bubble. I mean in the bubble itself Gaudette was useless and ended up being a healthy scratch. So yeah. There’s that.

Benning’s post trade comments are pretty clear that Gaudette was not what we saw last season. Any time a GM talks about a player’s want vs organization need/want and mentions “fresh start” you can read between the lines and see that there was also attitude and chemistry issues on top of the actual on-ice results.

But, you deleted your part of the post, and then claim I didn't read some other shit about an hour before. So what? You look like a douche when you alter posts to fit your narrative. Your earlier post still didn't mention Pearson, and the post I commented on did not mention that your links were for the post from an hour previously. Not to play Judge, Jury and Executioner, but seriously, ease off on the stand alone links with no fucking context.

The excerpts from the interview was out first. The videos, as always, were later. Go find a bug to step on or something.

You make a good point, I've asked him for brief summaries in the past.

He didn't tie the Benning video link in with the Benning quote post (and Jimmy has given a few interviews lately).

Also he still hasn't said a word about the Pearson video link.

Mick, if you're going to post a video interview link, you should give a brief summary.

Surely you watched the Pearson video yourself right (or did you?).

Should be no problem then to post a summary... or at least mention a single interesting thing he said.

Otherwise it's just board pollution, no one is gonna click on dat dere...

Highmore, the latest in Canuck fan's love affair with NHL marginal (I'm being generous) runts.

Highmore will take Mottes fourth line PK spot after Seattle claims Motte in the expansion draft.

Gomer being Gomer. Context is tough for someone who can’t figure out what everyone here has been saying to him for a long while.

When Gomer loses context, he backpedals with insults, lies or bullshit. It’s been his MO for a long while. He thinks he is clever and funny, but it comes across as retarded.

Could we treat Gomer like the infant he pretends to be and give him a timeout?

Motte is an elite 4th liner and Highmore is a better-than-average 4th liner. :mex:
