Down by the River Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 ? > Arniel & AV. IMO they both suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canvoucer Vanuck Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Still don`t get how Schroeder isn`t the No. 1 center on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lol at 'blame Arniel' talk continuing AFTER he made significant coaching decisions to secure the win... Defensive laziness is made to look acceptable with stellar goaltending, which we had, until Lack pulled something that is. Multiple benchings are a good way to get a team refocused.

pibroch Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wow just watched the highlights and Rodin had great game. Seriously just about every other clip was of him. He made 3 or 4 nice passes which could have been goals and set Archibald up for a goal that was waived off cause it was after the buzzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lack was not providing stellar goaltending. Rarely could he get through a game without allowing 3 goals against. Stick with trivial one liners meant to increase your post count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Arneil is just giving the boys a taste of what is to come if they get to the big club and Mr Gant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lack has been trying to play through an injury, so that would be the reason why his play as of late hasn't been stellar. However early on he was pretty good. Stick to whatever it is you do, whoever you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Good enough to earn wins though, right? The 3-8 November record is a collective effort though. Not just the goaltender. Not just the coach. Although it's a lot easier to single out the goalie or coach because they are on their own, it's also a pretty lazy way to look at the team. It's also a common way for some lazy Canuck fans to criticize their own team. Too bad these fans weren't locked out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I give you points, for making an imformed and detailed reply. But I think the context was a little off. what I was saying is why would you Scratch your 2 best offensive players (at the time, both were on point streaks that has ended the game prior), when there are ton's of other player struggling worse. Longpre has 8 Points in 17 Games. Haydar only has 6 Points in 16 Games. Bill Sweat has 6 Points in 18 Games. Then you look at Schroeder and Kassian who both have 12 points in 19 and 18 games respectively. Desbiens has been terrible, Joslin has been terrible, he doesn't Scratch them, and Sauve who was kind of the innocent hostage in all of this I thought actually had been playing pretty well in a shutdown role, he wasn't putting up points (obviously) but he is a +3. And really the only reason there were all these Scratches were because Connaution threw the puck away for no reason and they scored. Connaution maybe I can understand, but no reason to Scratch the other's especially when there are playing the best on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Can we bench Arneil for not calling a time out after Connauton dumped the puck down the ice for icing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmdrAdama Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 With Lack playing the way he has, I'm REALLY happy that Luongo is still around. I'm sure all these players will be back in for the next game, and the fire shall be there. (I hope... lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'd say there is a decent backup goalie to be had for less than $6.7 million per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Riding the pine is part of development. Part of Cody Hodgson's failure in Vancouver was due to the fact he hadn't faced much adversity in his career. The Chicago Wolves are also a professional hockey team like the Canucks. Winning is just as important to them than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Hodgson's also currently facing some adversity as a Sabre. Still sitting out after getting his wrist slashed late October. I'm not sure why Hodgson came up again, but it's a shame that he's yet to get a good string of games together as a pro thus far. Meanwhile, Kassian's been suspended and benched for his games sat out so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEAN HARNETT Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The thing that stood out the most to me was the over all compete level of Chicago during this game. It seems Chicago hasn't played to this level consitently and needs to. I think if guys like Shroeder and Kassian bring their compete level up, they can begin to dominate like they should be doing already. You cant just rely on your skill level to get you through games, you need to bring max effort shift after shift to be successful. Archiblad, Ebbet, and even Miller looked like they wanted it the entire night. Ebbet could've easily scored twice if not for some bad luck. I hope this is what some of these guys needed to really take their games to another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
