deized_kanuck604 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Because we can't score off the rush.. Raymond/Hansen/Kesler/Burrows are the only ones on team that can legitimately score off the rush.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Not enough skill, lots of role players/good hockey players, but not enough game changers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelixPotvin29 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 No Heart Playing not to lose Far too defensive, AV thinks he's up 1-0 no matter what the score is Sure injuries have played a bit of a role, but thats no excuse. PP has been useless all season. This team hasn't looked good since January last year against Boston. I don't know what they need to shake things up. It may be trading a key player, making a coaching change at the end of the year, or keep trying to win these really tight games and have an early offseason.

aqua59 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 1. Other teams have adjusted. 2. The coaching has gone flat and stale. 3. Too many fill ins that are just too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Our PP is god aweful, and the Sedins insist to constantly pass the puck when they are in a prime shooting area on the PP. My suggestion: Put Schroeder with daniel on 1 PP unit Henrik on a different unit Why cant we try something like this our PP is something like 2 for 56, thats pathetic, considering our top 2 players and top D men have been healthy all year, theres no excuse to NOT break up the Sedins on the PP. If we try this next game and stick with it, I am quite confident we will see a PP goal scored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the red Pony Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 We need to get someone like Naslund. A great sniper who could pick a spot and score.We don't really have that. This season has been a tough one. A lot of players have not played like they are supposed to, I just hope they can get back on track next game. Forget about the Oilers lets focus on the next one.

Bananas Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think we play just to keep the #3 seed. Minnesota Wild go on a winning streak then we push with our winning streak. Then Minny losses then we come out flat and unmotivated to play the Oilers... Or they are playing to make the playoffs then try. After 2 President's trophies with no SC, I don't think they the regular season matters that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagr68 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Because we haven't had a true puck-moving defenseman since Christian Ehrhoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original72 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This team needs to be blown up , They peaked out in 2010/2011 . They have looked like a stale unit since last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The answer is simple: 1) Our vets aren't putting up the points they used to Sedins, Burrows - past their prime (not saying they're not good, just not as good as before) Kesler - hurt - possibly our best overall player is out, powerplay looked dangerous when he came back Maholtra out Lapierre ineffective Notice all 4 of our centers are on this list 2) Our new players are not as good as our old players Samuelsson > Booth Salo > Ballard Erhoff > Garrison Hodgson > Kassian Torres > Sostito? Pinnizoto? any of our new 3rd 4th liners This crop of players will score again when Kesler gets back but will never be as good as they used to. Has our window closed?

gumshoe242 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Pinizzotto, Ebbett, Sestito, Weise, Kassian, Gordon, Lapierre, Ballard, Alberts.... Usually you only want a few of these type of guys on your team. We've got two full lines devoid of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinishEveryCheck Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 That's what everybody thought when the Canucks played poorly through the stretch last year. Everyone threw around the excuse that they would put it together in the play-offs. They played like crap, there, too. They just don't care anymore.
