CanucksSayEh Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm sorry, really, but he is the definition of a plug. By far the worst player on the team, he is bad at hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The ducks looked confused when Volpatti and Weise came out flying and hitting everything in sight. Must of not been used to seeing that from the nucks, we need more of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ummmm; Manny is 220 lbs and is being asked to play a defensive role; predominantly against opponents top lines from draws in the defensive end. Schroeder is 175 lbs. No way AV or any other coach is putting him in to take a draw against Getzlaf in our end, for an important draw. They will be here together for most of the year for completely different roles... Imagine a 4th line of Volpatti-Lapierre-Weise, they're going to destroy when everyone is healthy. Malholtra better not be the on the team. His play could end up costing us a playoff spot in this shortened season, I would rather have Schroeder. The only thing Manny is better at then Schroeder imo is faceoffs and he's not that great at them either anymore....

thad Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That had to be our worst face off game as a team that I have ever seen.. I think henrik was high or something, he couldn't buy a face off win for the longest time. Then he got waved out on one and burrows comes in and wins it lol. These guys are just a little rusty. I actually like the dynamic of our 4th line right now. Best faceoff guy in the league, a defensive specialist and mentor for the haywire goons in manny. With weise and Volpatti bangin the bodies on the wings I think they could be very effective. I agree that lappy would be the best 4th line center in the league though.

Sniperslayer Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Manny cant even ???? see anymore, how's he suppose to win faceoffs? i love that we hold onto these "charity" cases like when Pyatts fiancée died, Manny loses his Vision in right eye, etc. because we feel obligated to keep them around Manny has never come out once and said what his vision is like in that eye, if it's like 45-60% WTF ARE WE DOING KEEPING HIM?

Tangelos Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Has anyone noticed how Kassian isn't going to get any better playing on the 4th line. AV infuriates me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Nearly all hockey players are stronger at winning a faceoff on their backhand than their forehand. When a faceoff is taken in the defensive zone, the linseman dropping the puck always positions himself to the outside of the slot, on the side closest to the boards. When the faceoff is on the left side, this works in favour of a left-handed defensive centreman, as his right side is not being obstructed by the linseman, allowing him to attempt to win the faceoff on the backhand. When the faceoff is on the right side, the linseman obstructs the right side of the defensive centreman. This makes it more difficult to win a faceoff on the backhand. So yes, it does matter where he takes the faceoff. He is more likely to win a faceoff taken on the left side than the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL_dre Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Why is everyone hating on Manny now he was 60% in face-offs last night, the best on both the canucks and ducks. He had 2 hits for a tie with Garrison for 4th on on the team. He had a takeaway and played the same amount of pk time as Lapierre and Ebbett combined. He also played about 2mintues 30 seconds less then Henrik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehamburglar Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 WIth regards to Manny it has been over a season where his play is no longer effective. If he can't dominate face-offs, kill penalties, shut-down top lines or bottle up teams in their end, exactly what is his role that justifies $2.5M?

kloubek Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It is true though that Manny is a shell of his former self. He's a great guy. He does a lot for the community, is great in the locker room, and has shown a lot of heart over and over again. But he simply doesn't have the tools to be an effective NHL player anymore. I was really hoping that with a full off season and time to train he was going to be able to compete this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm a great guy and when I fell one story in a construction accident and pretty much lost my job due to injury. I say get fresh healthy bodies in there to hit and grind out garbage goals, sorry Manny and Raymond...btw UBC emergency sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
