i'll keep you guys up to date on everything to do around our favorite team in the Vancouver Canucks and let's just dive straight into the updates today we're the first one is coming from Marco Rossi who missed the Canucks practice due to an injury now looking at Marco Rossi a prime piece that came back in the Quinn U-Train along with incredible things including Adam Davani go watch that last video I did because Adam Davani had been dominating the OHL but Marco Rossi was not a part of the lineup and not on the ice for the Vancouver Canucks as he was dealing with an illness now looking at Marco Rossi an incredible piece that came back four points over a stretch of games to start the season for the Canucks including almost 55 percent on the dot 16 shots including almost a 19 percent from shooting percentage looking at Marco Rossi and what he brings to the Canucks is a speedy center that can play the wing position we've seen it this year with Pedersen and Marco Rossi being missed within this lineup it does suck for the Canucks but it's a perfect opportunity for a lot of these guys to take that next step and someone to really show out now with Marco Rossi out at least Filipetto is back in the lineup a little fact about Filipetto the referee that he collided with will be refereeing this game so fingers crossed that doesn't happen again but of course with Filipetto back and the depth at center it's so nice to finally say that after again say it with me David Kemp was a 2C for this team just last season this is a team that now has multiple changes including Jonathan Lekkerimäki being demoted from the top line now looking at the practice lines and for the Canucks moving in the big changes within this organization are of course Carlson joining Pedersen and Jacob Ross something that we've seen as a part of last season Cotter, Heidle and Besser and Jonathan Lekkerimäki moved down to the third line alongside Doc Drew O'Connor and Liam Algren now looking at this and of course the availability heading into the game with multiple guys out Marco Rossi is out and still uncertain if he will be playing in this game not a part of the line rushes so i'm suspecting that he will not be participating in the Canucks game versus the Carolina Hurricanes diving into this Thatcher Demko whose recovery still continues there's absolutely no timeline and we once again don't get a starting goaltender for tonight's game but from recent play i'd almost be willing to bet that it is Merrillin that will be taking the crease for the Canucks when they're returning home now diving into this the biggest thing is now sitting around Carlson being moved up with Pedersen and the demotion of Jonathan Lekkerimäki who started this season hot now Carlson an incredible player a huge part of the Abbotsford team for the past couple of seasons before becoming a full-time NHL player with the Canucks which is incredible to see Carlson is so underrated with seven points including two goals based on percentage though not taking a lot of so I don't look into it too much but what we've seen out of Carlson over the past two seasons is of course six points in 23 games getting the full-time stint with the Canucks last year was 79 games played 35 points of course a minus 28 but again it was a bad team you can put the blame on plus minus it's a full team stat not individual but Carlson now getting the chance to go up is going to show that Manny Malhotra and Carlson trying to prove to Manny Malhotra that keeping him on that top line is exactly what the Canucks need to do if they want to continue having success to get Pedersen out of this slump and of course looking for this team to ring off a win which it felt like it's been a little bit before we've seen and now looking at Carlson and who he plays with with Paul Carter Marco Rossi 26 minutes played zero goals zero assists 46.7 percent of the shot attempts these numbers should go up especially with Pedersen and a line mate that he's kind of worked with and knows how things gel and of course getting Pedersen out of that slump is I believe what Manny Malhotra is trying to do despite a super hot to the start to the season the past five games Pedersen put up 0.4 points 0.2 goals 0.2 assists this is a player that of course came out of the gate swinging there's people including myself talking about the bounce back which is still a thing and genuinely something that I think Pedersen is going to continue pushing as players go through slumps. He's still having an incredible year looking over the stretch of games, including five losses on the screen. Pedersen still has a goal and an assist over the stretch of games, and the Canucks as a whole have both not been playing well. So you cannot put the full blame, but looking versus Carolina, Pedersen's had some very good games, including multiple point games in back-to-back-to-back with two in all his last three games this is going to be a big game for Pedersen to go up against the defending Stanley Cup champions after a belter, but is the best way to put it in their last game losing 7-2 versus Carolina where Pedersen had two points two hits was basically the only productive line with Jonathan LackerMackie and of course Jake DeBrusk playing there but now with LackerMackie demoted Carlson goes up with Pedersen this is going to be interesting and he was not removed from power play one so don't stress because I think this is just a reset for a young player Jake DeBrusk spoke on this as well I think my only advice is just shoot like if I give it to you shoot you know we're obviously we're struggling to shoot as a team right now and he's our best shooter Jonathan LackerMackie and again if you go watch any of his highlights from the SHL when he played with Oulun HK this is a kid that has a lethal shot we know it at the NHL level we know it at the AHL level we know at the SHL level this is now just a young player that needs to continue building the confidence in hopefully a full season in the NHL for the first time and this is a team that again is struggling you cannot put the blame on Pedersen but a lot of the goals against you can't put the blame on the defense as we look at a defensive reset at home now Luke Schenn said it best we need to be a heck of a lot better and that is a key point of this team I don't even know why the photo change to him in a Sabres jersey that's disgusting but this is a team that has been stringing out and leaving their goaltenders to dry when looking at the high danger chances for the Canucks we can see share of shots based 23.5% high danger the save percentage during this is 72.7% looking at the medium danger where 32% of the shots come from with a sub .860 save percentage the low danger where we see the Canucks actually defending and playing well the goaltenders are playing great at a .932 despite the league average being at a .960 yes the goaltenders are a bit of a problem Merrill Linen has been incredible Kevin Langen has less than a desired start to the year but the Canucks as a whole and the defensive scheme of this game it's a lot of young guys getting their feet wet a lot of young guys looking to cement themselves so this is something they need to pick up and really change is those high danger shot attempts and to limit those versus games listen looking at the practice defensive pairings we know Zebulon has been demoted with Luke Shen Jamie Olteac and Tom Villender events that don't back up that pairing too much but again i love that every single line is running with a veteran defenseman and a young guy where this limits a lot of young guys getting hemmed in their zones keeping a veteran presence within them and heading into a game where of course you're not looking to be a top team in the NHL you're not looking to be a team that makes it to the Stanley Cup playoffs let alone finals for the next couple of seasons but this is a team that wants to continue a bit of success we can see 2-7-1 starting the year hot and trending down this is still a team that wants a number one overall pick but fans it's going to be nice to see them go up hopefully reset get back and get the higher standard of quality Luke we obviously hold each other to a higher standard for sure and the Canucks need to push that out there now looking at of course heading into the game two goaltenders both fresh after not playing last game Kevin Lankinen got the start in the last game versus Tampa where it's been a tough year for Kevin Lankinen but looking at the four days rest for Demkov and not getting his last start since Florida a .921 save percentage I'm doing a full video on Demkov and I got brand new content coming up very soon so you guys should be excited about that because it looks incredible but this is going to be a Demkov game and i'm excited to see and honestly i feel bad for Canucks fans for letting this guy walk fans let me know your thoughts down in the comments because of course we see guys speaking Branden Gallagher it just needs to be corrected on the way the Canucks are playing i want to know your thoughts heading into this game what's the final score going to be what is your thoughts on Jonathan Dymianiuk being demoted to the third line but still on the first power play do we see this kind of bounce Pettersson back with a former line mate in Carlson let me know all your thoughts down in the comments and hey have you made it this far again we're trying to reach your goal of 10,000 subscribers so if you made it what is it nine minutes and 52 seconds into this video obviously you enjoyed it a bit hit that free subscribe button means the world take care canucks fans i'll see you in the next one go canucks go
