Karlsson`s Flo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 First of all, there's no determination from this team. Alain Vigneault fails to amp this team up come playoff time and the 2011 run came only from the players, not the coaches. This team is a clone of last years teams give or take a few players and you all know how that worked out... Secondly, this team has NO toughness. Apart from the 4th line that AV doesn't allow to play physical, this team has 0 toughness. At the deadline, Gillis should of gotten two of Clowe, Torres, or a physical RH Dman. The only players that are actually tough are Kassian and Sestito. Sestito is a plug who won't play more than 8 minutes a game and Kassian is a kid who's just beginning to learn his role as a powerforward. Roy is a good scorer and playmaker, yes, but can he stand up for his team mates? No. Thirdly, the defence is abysmal. The amount of giveaways and mess ups I see a game from this team's defence is absolutely horrendous. Tanev, Garrison, and Hamhuis are the only defencemen who don't mess up on a regular basis. Edler is garbage, Bieksa makes a lot of boneheaded decisions and Ballard is ALWAYS in the doghouse. Lastly, teams have figured out the Sedins. Sure the Sedins can go and absolutely dominate a team like the Flames or Oilers, but they can't be themselves in the playoffs against playoff teams; they get absolutely shut down. This has been evidenced the last few years. These are my reasons why the Canucks will NOT get past the 2nd round unless they "flip a switch" this year. Yours truly, Ember.

Neversummer Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 OP by your assessment, Canucks shouldn't get out of the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Having to play two game sevens and especially in the Eastern conference finals where the Bruins had no rest going into the series against us, there should of been no excuse to lose if the Bruins didn't manhandle the Nucks like they did. You never know. If the Canucks actually retaliated, it could of been a huge gamechanger and most likely would of been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 You don't think the Bruins were playing injured too? They played as many if not more playoff games than us. Plus, they were missing one of their top scorers and performers Nathan Horton when they were playing us, so injuries are no excuse. If the Nucks were facing Tampa in the finals, they would have schooled them in no more than 6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Meh there are some small bits of truth in that post, but OP exaggerated them. I mean if our team is so terrible, how could we possibly make it all the way to the second round? If our team is as bad as you describe them we wouldn't even make the playoffs and would probably be competing for a draft pick. 1) Yeah the team has seemed to lack motivation at times, or at least confidence. You can't blame it all on the coaching staff though, players must also motivate themselves. There's no evidence to suggest that the 2011 run came only from the players. You can't pretend that coaches only have an impact when things are going bad. 2) Toughness = completely overblown issue. Most of our players are big and gritty and can handle themselves. For proof of this look at the fight standings this year, Canucks are Top 5 in fights. We are ahead of the "dreaded" Bruins. In fact considering that the only teams ahead of us are the Leafs, Jackets, and Flyers, I would say we have the most fights out of any contending hockey team. 3) Defense - yeah we have definitely had issues at times this year. Our timing seems to be somewhat off and the D make risky plays. 4) Sedins - Their production is definitely down. Partly due to their horrible powerplay work, and partly due to our lack of secondary scoring which puts more pressure and tougher matchups on them. With the addition of Roy and Kesler I think they should get a little more space. I disagree that they get completely shut down in the playoffs, they are still effective although maybe not as dominant. Henrik was really good against the Kings last year.

ilduce39 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yes. Coaches just match up their shut down line against the Sedins and our first line is done-zo. Skilled players but not playoff performers. I don't think they should get extensions. Should let them walk and sign some playoff performers in free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
