DeNiro Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Andrew Ebbett to the rescue! Seriously Gillis, we don't have the center depth we need. We can't just band-aid this problem over. We need a center that can fill in full time for Kesler if he struggles or is injured again. Is that Bozak deal still on the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 We can't have a $5 million player stepping in front of every shot trying to block them. There is a reason the Sedins are so durable. They play smart and don't put their bodies in the way of unnecessary harm. Part of it is luck obviously. Kesler can't control everything that happens on the ice. But certainly he doesn't have to tempt fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The window is shut on this group, starting to think it's time to blow it up and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 no you give your head shake, if you think this team is still a contender based on how they have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This is what happens when you trade a center and dont replace them. Im on board for ROR, wonder if we could get him for some quality picks + prospects? whats his contract situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kack Zassian Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Last season and 20 games this season? Include the playoffs and that's over 100 games. Their best chance was 2011 and the Canucks won't be a cup contender until the next generation of players takes over. Let Jensen, Kassian, etc. play and show what they can do, this season is a write-off IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Well it's going to be a while before they're a contender again, it's time for the new wave of young guys (Kassian, Schroeder, Tanev, Jensen, Lack, etc.) to make an impact. The Sedins won't be around forever and Kesler isn't going to be able to be much more than a third line center if he keeps getting injured, and I'd consider that questionable. Then we have our goaltending situation. Luongo is too old to fit in with that group, but Schneider hasn't shown any ability to take over as the starter this season. It's all just one colossal mess.

TheCammer Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Generally when the Canucks are playing poorly or have some injury issues I try to remain cool, calm and collected and not post panic-stricken, doom and gloom stories, but in this case......

DeNiro Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Some of you guys are hilarious. It's funny to think about how you deal with problems in your day to day lives. One little thing goes wrong, OH NO I'VE GOTTA CHANGE MY WHOLE LIFE! Seriously, how many times do people have to go through this panic routine before they learn. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. If it's so hard to cheer for this team, then don't. But it could be alot worse you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This isn't such a bad thing. I thought we were playing better before Kesler and Booth returned. Let's see that speed line again for a bit and see if things turn around. Won't miss the "embellishment" either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
