GDT (Pre) - Canucks host Flames - Sep 19 - 7pm -SN1

[CrzyCanuck]

Omg. Utica is a bad team, for the NHL.

Errr but they are playing another AHL team tonight

Horrible line-up tonight for sure. The professional hands of stone and fringe players aren't exactly a good mesh.

Ya so Stockton is the better team tonight.

[theman]

So, anyone playing well?

Any mention on why Boeser is not in tonight?

[DonCherry4PM]

Gaudette has had some good moments.

Other than that, it's pretty slim pickin'.

[theman]

Joulevi?

I just got home from work, btw.

[Hockey Widow]

A lot of Canucks are playing like they know they won’t make the team, unlike last night where there was more intensity.

[Hockey Widow]

Joulevi?

I just got home from work, btw.

He hasn’t stood out but he hasn’t looked bad either. There just isn’t a good flow in the game, very disjointed.

[Jovocop]

Edler should be replaced by Juolevi on the first powerplay unit. He is the one auditioning for a spot, not Edler.

[Carl Yagro]

Juolevi has been quietly good.

You know who else has been? His partner Guddy.

[Hockey Widow]

Leipsic has been our best player tonight. Gotta find a way to keep him. He plays with energy.

I thought Boucher had a very good game. He hit 2 crossbars and made a beauty feed to Lepstick on the PP. He could easily have had a 3 pt game. Too bad Boucher will be in tuff to make the club, I really like his release and I think his vision of the ice is very under-rated. I'd luv to see some great shooters on the PP with Brockstar and Boucher and throw in Petterson. Would be fun to watch.

Lipstick had some nice jump and scored a nice goal. Gaudette had some nice chances, but made a couple of blind passes as well that I don't think the coaches will like. Looks like he could use some time in Utica to learn the pro game and gain some experience and confidence.

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Is Palmu your next Steve Kariya?

I'd say Lipstick looks a bit like Paul Kariya out there.

[Hockey Widow]

Palmu looked outclassed. He definitely needs some Utica time.

I agree Boucher looked good but he has a habit of hitting posts and crossbars. He’s always, almost scoring. He does have a great release though. I just don’t see room for everyone.

[Mickey107]

Oh wow, we are bad defensively.

Who do we blame this time?

Mickey’s roofing blames the coaching staff.

He thinks these guys are ready to break out if they only had the coaching

I said the coaching of the defense.
