CookieCrumbs Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've always been a Ballard fan and supporter, but it may already be time to bench the guy. Giveaways like that are completely unacceptable. He does that in an elimination game and our goalie doesn't make the save? Lock your door Bally.

NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Since the announcement I disagree completely with Edler being worth $5 million a year. He's a solid D-Man, no doubt about it, but he is not worth $5 Mill. We definitely need to get something going for the 2nd line. We have no depth. We should have taken a gamble on Gomez much like what San Jose is doing, and if I'm not mistaken, Frolov is still an available free agent as well. Too bad we wasted money on Barker and Vandermeer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks.brad Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 in other news......we have 1 points, the flyers, king, and Rangers have zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueShark Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I thought Kassian & Weise were our best players (woot! Kass got a goal!!) . Both seemed to be rewarded for their hard play by AV. If nothing else, this was an improvement over yesterday. 1 point is better than 0 points. Definitely missing Kesler right now - our 2nd line is experiencing an identity crisis with all the line juggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk diggler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I wonder what we could get for the Sedins and Luongo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Weise was so close to a goal with the twins. Feel bad for Raymond and whoever the other winger is that has to play with Ebbet, he's not good at hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacvan Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The Canucks should call up Schroeder and get a sniper and put Kassian on the line it could be WCE 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The first goal was pretty weak. Lu wasn't really set for it.. lol. But its the start of the short season. Can't really fault him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck or Die Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 in the same news, the flyers and rangers both played the powerhouse Pittsburgh and the Kings played the Blackhawks (whom just beat the Coyotes as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiun Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 They are going to battle just to scape into the playoffs, even with a full lineup. Gillis has not done enough to improve the team and the poor drafting record is beginning to hurt. There simply aren't enough prospects to fill in the void. The very thought that this is a cup contending team is laughable. Need to get younger, faster and more skilled. This forward group does not cut it.

Hockey Fever Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Who was the player that didn't take his man on the second goal? I saw Burrows trying to get back as well as Garrison ? But no other forward or d-man was near him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugli Fruit Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Schroeder needs to play with Raymond again. Schroeder has the dynamic speed, skill and elusiveness to carry the puck and set someone up which is precisely what he did in the scrimmage with Raymond. Raymond shouldn't be the guy carrying the puck into the zone cause all he does is drive wide, stop up at the half boards then fall down/get pinned up and lose it. Raymond has shown he can't use his speed effectively like Booth does so he should just be the trigger man, he has to use his speed to get into areas to shoot, and Schroeder is the guy that needs to carry the puck through the N-zone, into the offensive zone and make the play, I don't think Ebbett is capable of it myself. Time to call JS up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Really missing Kesler and Booth in this game. If we had them healthy in this game, we could've easily won it. Oh well. In other news, Ebbett is quite disappointing so far on the 2nd. Hopefully Schroeder gets the call soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
