riotsurvivor Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Every team already plays a variation of the trap when they don't have the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotsurvivor Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Every team who plays the trap and is actually good at it has one good shutdown Dman. Who is that for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 When you employ a trap system, which few teams do (despite belief to the contrary), it uses a team zone approach. When you have a shutdown d-man charged with stopping a specific player, or line, you are using a man-man system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The Canucks will definitely play a bit more of a defensive style, at least to start off the season, but plugging 4 guys in the neutral zone isn't something the Canucks will do. Or at least, I hope not. zzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What I'm trying to say is that the Canucks shouldn't be a trap team, nor are they suited to be. We tried it last half of the season and it didn't work. We were Beating bottom feeders by a marginal amount. Then when we had to face LA, it got exploited in the playoffs. That's why we got ousted in 5 games. Stick to our game, not a trap play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The trap is too boring to be suffered, I'd rather watch weeds grow in my garden. Of course, baseball this year will be a great tonic - the Jays finally have a team that will be worth watching. If we play the trap- screw hockey- it is an insult to fans paying good money for tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMBUTANS Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 So, which one is uglier, a 7-3 loss or using the trap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 First of all I would like to congratulate Mr. Reputable on his first non-retarded thread. Second of all I don't think we should go full on trap for the whole season, but we may need to go to a more defensive style (or even a trap) until we get some help in the Top 6.
