crosbyheadshot Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The way things have been going the last few weeks I wouldnt be suprised if something has been said behind closed doors. But it's doubtful. Either way the team needs to step it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 There is no bias against the Canucks look at NHL.com Canucks are 12th in the NHL for powerplay time this year and have the 7th least amount of time on the penalty kill this year.

aliboy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Touch wood, but we might actually get a decent draw in the first round this year, the Yotes would be a much better draw then the Hawks were last year. Touch wood again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 O ye, of little faith the team is looking at more possibilities and line combinations up until the playoffs, a playoff spot is secured, quit your whining, I will eat my arms if we don't win the Stanley Cup this year, so if you want to talk about problems, I'm all ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0shi Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The discussion at the GM meetings are addressing the lack of calls on obstruction as a whole, which has dipped significantly since the first year of the lockout. In a way, you are right that we aren't getting as many calls. But put that aside, you have to make the best of your situation and capitalize on the chances you do get.

Guest Lelongooo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The reason why the canucks aren't doing great lately? Because they're human. Boston and New York are in the same situation. If teams didn't go into slumps, we'd be like the NBA and have the same top teams dominating each year. They'll turn it around, like they always do, and go on a tear.

canIcrytoo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 DO you only watch Canuck games? Or are YOU blind to the fact that the refs are putting the whistles away for every team, not just the ones facing the nucks? I watch several games other then just thew Canucks, and this has been happening for some time now. Perhaps gearing up for the playoffs? getting players ready for how itsa going to be called, getting them into "playoff mode" ? meh no way that could be it, its gotta be a big conspiracy against just our team....right? that sounds more logical.

Hondamatic Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 YOU are in la-la land. You have got to be kidding, right? To put it simply: The Canucks are not playing well right now and have not been for at least a month. They've gotten away with a few wins when they had no business winning. Now, other teams know they are not at the top of their game and are gunning for them. Until the Canucks stop whining, and start playing hard and "thinking" again, they will not win more games than they lose. If they don't get their S**t together soon, they will be gone in the first round regardless of who they play. Yes, they are tired, both mentally and physically. But, now is the time to wake up again and start playing like we all know they can. I, for one, will be so happy when the pointing fingers at individual players stops. It is not one or a few players playing like crap right now... it is the whole team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Because they have a coach who doesn't know how to motivate his team, because he's not a top notch coach! He just sits back doesn't say a word and chews his gum, and hopes his players will be able to get out of it on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canIcrytoo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Another out of town non-canuck fan who wants the NHL to continue the trend of non-calls. Just look at his signature, tells you everything you need to know. Probably Boston. Here's another fact: The Canucks schedule has always been the toughest in the league due to the fact they are the farthest away on average of any NHL team from their opponents. You'd think that would make the NHL schedulers careful about how they allocate the team's out of town games. But this year the Canucks schedule has been the worst ever. The big road trip where they beat the Bruins, and the latest one were probably the most grueling they've ever experienced. Back to back games at the END of a long road trip??? And after long travel days??? Something stinks there. No wonder the team has appeared to be a group of walking zombies lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
