ccc44 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The one that matters the most is the hitting. The Canucks are doing to the Kings what the Bruins did to them. They might not be getting the Ws in the early going but they've been absolutely crushing the Kings. Remember you're dealing with a playoff hardened squad vs a team that hasn't won a playoff series in over a decade. Just need to have a little patience.

Skks_King Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Remember the last time time the canucks went on a big losing streak (aka 2-3 games) they went on to win 8 of 9 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think its clear we need offense. Moar goals. I know quick is playing really well right now, lets rattle his cage a little your right, some cross crease action would help. Also, more SALO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StutterStep Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Agreed more salo shots, make them pay for blocking em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfly Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Not trying to sound like a jack ass but you needed to watch the game twice to get all these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendythirteenthrashers Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I rewatched it too.... Need to put Schneider in for sure for game 3 to change the momentum.... Lu was good but did have a bit of a meltdown on goals 3+4.... Kassian needs to be parked in front of the net on the pp.... I thought he was pretty strong on the puck from behind the net in the second period and was also the screen on pahlssons goal.... La had a hard time with him....

keslerian one Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 This pretty much gave voice to a lot of fan's thoughts when watching the game. Whether AV saw the same thing is a different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Can't see the crap that went on outside of your television. Are you sure we were good? Are you really really sure? You obviously didn't see the stupid positioning of everyone then. The team was clumped together for 90% of the game. Defenseman only had 1 option, and that option was taken away. The team looked lost out there, they don't know how to counter the King's forecheck either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The only way I see this series turning around is if AV majorly adjusts and throws the Kings a huge curveball. A lot of turning points in the playoffs are caused by one team making a significant change or shake-up and totally catching the other team off guard. Quennville and the Hawks did this to the Canucks in years past. One example I can think of was mentioned earlier in this thread: AV has got to make use of Zack Kassian. Throw him in the top 6 and throw him on the PP as a net presence. This is a player that can change a series simply by giving his team a completely different look. Gillis went out and traded a huge piece of the team's future for this guy. USE HIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasetheCanuck Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 PP was a huge issue...giving up the 2 SH goals really cost us... half the times the dump and chase was just cleared back down. execute on PP and we will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-mo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The hardest thing to do is create a gameplan based around a goalie imo. you have to take the chances as they come and hope things go your way. you can't just say, 'we need to get quick moving laterally' as if thats the magic recipe to scoring goals. no goalie is invincible even when he's able to square himself to shots, you just gotta keep it simple and try to shoot it where the goalie aint. once you start overthinking and trying to be fancy or precise, you will likely fall on your face like they did against thomas last year.

BleedBlueAndGreen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 3 We need to concentrate on parking a man in front of the net..........at both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 All good ideas, but I think you left out the biggest one (turnovers). We have to stop turning over the puck. Last game we made too many risky passes. Luckily, this is something we can easily control, as long as the players smarten up and execute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirteen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Kassian for sure needs to park his arse in front of Quick! Look at that 2nd goal and where he was! Keep him there, make him make it his office! Don't leave all series. Make Kesler, Burr, Booth, Hansen, Lappy crash that net! We got this still. One thing I keep saying What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger! And LA didn't kill them, they did. It's not over till it's over baby! Wooooooooooo!

ZephyrsSong Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The only team that beat the Canucks in these first 2 games were the Canucks themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettocanucks101 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 why do you think teams go over tape? so they can catch different angles at a differetnpoint in time with a different mindset. Im sure most people who watched the game last night were watching through a frustrated haze (i know I was after 4 pps and barely a shot) and so you tend to see things in a certain way. watching the same game a day later can offer a more objective viewpoint as emotions and perception can be different. its not rocket science.

Guest BuckFoston Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 And also the turnovers. 1st game we had TOO many penalties, last night we improved on that. Then last night we ahd TOO many turnovers, are we going to improve on that tmr and actually spark something and freaking win?!?! And come back from a 2-0 series??! IF BOSTON DID THAT LAST YEAR, WE CAN TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kes is starting to turn ihis BEAST MODE back on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHL Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Quick was giving up so many rebounds last game, but the Canucks could just not get in front of the net. We just need one man in front of the net to bang in those rebounds, that is how we will score and beat LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 2 Our physicality more than matched LA.4 Edler and Luongo were neither weak nor to blame for the defeat.5 We must try to pass laterally in front of Quick. 6 Its good to have Ballard back. Apart from a couple of moments it was like he had never been away. I also think by the 3rd game he will have calmed Tanev down enough to find his best game. Tanev didn't play badly it was just that he wasn't at his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
