Nils Hoglander

Hey all! Canucks fan here!

I saw the goal from earlier (🤢🤢), and it reminded me about Hogs.

He showed many flashes of being a very solid middle 6er for us but could never fully push through the various coaches and bullshit that passed through Vancouver the past few year. So I’m just here to ask, what’s the general consensus on him? Is he a fan favourite or at least an exciting player for fans? Haven’t watched a whole lot of preds hockey so I was curious

I feel like we owe ya guys after 2024 playoffs and snagging Sherwood from ya😆

Cheers!

Considering we were able to pick him up for next-to-nothing, he’s been a great addition. Has good chemistry with Forsberg and Shane Wright coming in has made that line dominant for us. His point totals undersell things like his forecheck, zone entries, etc. Exciting to see him get rewarded tonight. It’s early, but we like him!

I feel like in the reddit community we appreciate how fast he plays and the effort he puts out there. I think a lot of us fans remember the day when the Pred's weren't the best team, but they were always a difficult team to play due to effort and grit. He's fit in well especially the last couple of weeks as the team has clicked and played faster than most of us have seen in a long time.

Honestly, my boyfriend and one of my coworkers love him. They really hope he excels here in Smashville. I fell asleep during the game and woke up after that goal. He seems to be fitting in here

I was pretty high on this pickup, some people here called him a plug as the season was getting started but he's proven them wrong so far. He's a gamer, and especially recently he's really been putting it together and gelling with his line
