Bodee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Put Tanev and Ballard back together...We should at least have a pairing that AV knows he can rely on instead of jumbling everyone up and ending up with 3 useless d-pairings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That would be awfully expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Alberts looked better than our TOP 4 has looked most the year. Ready to see Barker. Garrison could use a night off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Edler has been pretty bad.. Im a huge Edler fan but hes been messing up ALOT recently, constantly turning the puck over, or being out of position i hate, hating on him but its true.. although hes our "best" dman i think he needs to sit one game, let Barker come in and play a game.. AV will show the team hes not going to allow that kind of stuff D pairings could look like this Hamhuis-Garrison Ballard-Tanev Alberts-Barker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Jason Garrison calls Jason-Garrison only meeting VANCOUVER—After a tumultuous and disappointing first half of their season, Jason Garrison reportedly called a Jason-Garrison-only meeting Sundayto air out the many issues still plaguing the Canucks. “There are 30 games to go and we’re still inconsistent, so everybody needs to step their game up right now,” Garrison reportedly said during the closed-door talks, which did not include coaches, upper management, or any of the other 18 players on the Canucks roster. “I’m sick of hearing excuses about shoulder/groin injuries or goaltender trade speculation. We should be contending for the title, but I feel like I’m the only one out there who even gives a damn. And frankly, that’s pathetic.” Reached for comment, Garrison told reporters the meeting was “very positive,” as it was unanimously agreed that the former 16 goal scorer should get more of the puck during games.

Tangelos Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 While I agree the Defence needs to be better the forwards have some blame for not controlling the game more. Sometimes the best defence is a good offence. If you want to make your D look bad play in your own end all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Salo was a leader and he should have been re-signed. Malhotra retiring was sad. But Salo was here for 9 years. And probably contributed more to player development than any of the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 When your defence looks that pathetic for me that points to coaching, both Bowness and AV's overall mentality. You could teach a beachball to play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well said. Bowness should be let go at the end of the season if this D continues to struggle. If Canucks are bounced 1st Round again then AV should be canned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
