Canucks Coffee: Evaluating Lankinen, Myers' Contributions
Alright, Canucks fans, let's dive into some hot coffee and break down the latest buzz around the team. We've got some big questions brewing, especially after those last few games. Is Lankinen the real deal? And what's the deal with Myers' impact? Buckle up, this is gonna be a wild ride.
Lankinen's Performance: A Mixed Bag?
So, the big question on everyone's mind: is this guy the answer in net? We all know Demko's been battling some injury demons, and the Canucks have been searching for a solid backup. Lankinen, he's been a mixed bag, to be honest. He's had some real stellar games, making those acrobatic saves that leave you saying, "Whoa, did that really just happen?" But then there are those games where, well, he's just not quite there yet.
The stats, they tell a story. He's got a decent save percentage, but his goals-against average is a bit higher than we'd like to see. Let's not forget, though, that he's still getting used to a new team and a new system. It takes time, and we gotta give him the benefit of the doubt. He's definitely showing potential, but whether he's the long-term solution, that's still up in the air.
Myers: More Than Just Physicality
Now, let's talk about Myers. He's a big, intimidating presence on the blue line, that's for sure. He's got that physicality that can make opponents think twice before venturing into the offensive zone. But is he just a big body, or is there more to his game?
There's definitely more to it. We're seeing some growth in his offensive game. He's starting to move the puck with more confidence, finding those gaps and making smart passes. He's not just a one-dimensional defenseman anymore. He's still learning the intricacies of the offensive game, but he's definitely on the right track.
It's still early, though, right? We're only a few games into the season. We need to give both Lankinen and Myers some time to find their footing. Let's keep the faith, Canucks fans, and enjoy the ride!
