Ballisticsports. Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Concerning our Dmen lately I am thinking Garrison and Bieska should be eased in with less important minutes t the moment, if not only for them to get some confidence,or whatever it is they are lacking I think Ballard and Tanev deserve the extra minutes Edler has not been himself for sometime now I just think, that having quality defencemen, You should reward the defence who Are playing well, and take the pressure off the ones who are not in order for them to find their game Without having any stud defencemen, where everyone is above average, I dont believe You should name them 1st 2nd and 3 rd lines and stick with them regardless When a forward is struggling or not performing, AV would say, we go with the players that give us the best chance to win Now that the Canucks win streak is over. I would like to see some off our other Dmen move in to some games,depending if the prediction for that game may require talent or muscle,speed etc and insert the Appropriate Dman for the job. I see it as keeping the guys hungry and focused too and Our D sharp, if injuries should occur Am I alone on my thoughts with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Of all the D-Men, I think Garrison has been the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanKeslord17 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Time to split up 5 and 3. Parings for next game: Edler-Garrison Hamhuis-Bieksa Ballard-Tanev Garrison should be put on the left side. Give it a shot, doesn't seem like Edler is at his best on his off side.

Master Mind Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I agree. Ballard and Tanev have been some of our better D's all season. Instead, AV will just let Garrison continue to struggle. I know it takes time to adjust to a new team, but he needs to adjust soon since our D makes too many mistakes. That goes for the whole team too though. We have one of the best defence groups in the league, but it doesn't look like it most nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Pairings for next game: Ballard - Tanev Hamhuis - Edler Garrison - Barker Vintage brought up a great point, perhaps we should Scratch Bieksa so give him a wakeup call. His play has been laughable. At this point I would rate them: 1. Ballard 2. Tanev 3. Hamhuis 4. Edler 5. Garrison 6. Bieksa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Hockey Place Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 To be honest I think all of the D have looked kind of average so far. Not bad or anything. Just out of synch. Don't know why Garrison is singled out. I guess some people always need a whipping boy and don't notice things like he was the top PKer tonight and complain about how he doesn't score in his 21 seconds of PP time.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Bieksa is playing better than Garrison right now. At least Bieksa has produced, what the hell has Garrison done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needtogetswole Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I actually miss Salo. What is it with this organization and Florida defensemen? It seems we look at the worst defensive team in the league and decide to trade for one of their defensemen. I'd rather have Ehrhoff and Salo right now instead of Garrison. Our PP has been awful because we are using one D on point, Edler, who keeps getting his shot blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowfro Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Erhoff was a perfect fit with our style of team. PP is not the same without him. Erhoff got his shot through on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanBeef Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 worst defensive team in the league? - clearly you haven't been watching the winning streak... we've allowed the least amount of goals until today in the league I'm sure were still top 3 in least amount allowed.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Course it is kinda an unfair comparison when Bieksa and Garrison are playing against their first line and Ballard and Tanev are playing against their fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
