She's taking over at 1040.

Much better.... Except that fourth line will never score.

But Higgins is a depth scorer...

So you make upwards of 2.5mil a year to compare to Higgins? If not your making pennies in comparison.
- Retinalz

What does that have to do with anything? Dumb comment. Do have to be on a pay grid before you are allowed to pass judgement or form an opinion?

7+ goals a season is why you'd expect from 3rd line.

I expect 7 goals from a fourth liner.

He's 4th on the team in points, but dead last among forwards in terms of shooting percentage.

- VANTEL

How many teams in the history have had 4th lines combining to get 21 goals a season?
Some seasons you get a rookie that comes in and starts doing this, but they often make it up the lines when playing well. 4th liners are not meant to score, they are meant to give the 1st/2nd line a break and not get scored on.

- Scooby_Doo

4th on the team on points, sure he isn't scoring as much this year but the guy scored 18, 10 (short season) and 16 in his last 3 seasons. He is the definition of depth scoring, I don't see how this is hard to see.

Why is this even a conversation?

The 'Tilted Kilt' is better than 'Beer Hunter' - just sayin

Arizona's apparent lineup for tonight, Buffalos lineup was better, there should be no reason we lose this one.

We only have 3 players with over 30 points... Most teams have 6+ players with those totals... St Louis has 9.

StL has 16 players with double digit scoring and 4 of those have 10-11 pts. Canucks have 19 players with double digit scoring and only 2 of those have 10-11 pts.
It's called secondary scoring.

Nucks are 11th in goals for per game but it's a negative that this team has spread out it's scoring? I don't understand.

Made me look at the stats...

what stood out to me is lots of minuses in the +/-and Markstrom's .250 sv %...

Not much you can do now, past the tdl. But I am tuning in to the stretch run to see if we make the post season and whatever happens, happens.

Go Canucks Go!

edit: also wondering who gets called up for the playoffs who stays in Utica for their playoff push...

- belcherbd

Yeah, IMO it's great to have 4 lines that are chipping in, the only thing hurting the offense is the weak 2nd PP unit and probably the need for another legit top 6 player to improve the primary scoring. Secondary scoring is some of the best in the NHL.

Also the lack of a true PMD.

Exactly, I don't remember when we had secondary scoring like this.

Yah beer hunter is kinda run down and gross. Stuffed pizza or arnies at ova west is way better.
