Tearloch7 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 **Maybe AV is starting to hold everyone accountable? .. what a breath of fresh air that would be!!** .. then I rolled over, and awoke, and all was the same .. some folks can do no wrong ..

Smashian Kassian Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I would have no problem with AV benching people if the same rule applied to all. Unfortunately some players have a free pass no matter how terrible they play and others leashes are way too short. That sort of thing can divide a room. Hope Tanev has a speedy recovery but heal up before coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hansen got benched!? I don't think that's ever happened before. Hansen is one of our most consistent players. He may not light the lamp every game but his effort is there no matter what. Not sure why he'd be benched when Kassian was far more useless and silent. AV confuses yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Wonder how long Tanevs out. They'll miss him for sure on the back end, he's a puck possession guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucksfan#2 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It puzzles me that Tanev's value is still getting underestimated by so many people. Besides his calming influence, his ability to win puck battles in defensive zone is exactly what we need come playoff time against much tighter and aggressive forecheck from our opponents. Also, for the offensive style which the team plays, we need crisp first pass from our Ds, and Tanev arguably has the best first pass among our Ds.

Canuck or Die Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So, what exactly is Tanev's injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBoy44 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Schneider will start, or at least should start. It would just confuse everyone involved all over again if Luongo was given the reins. Luongo played a fantastic game for the Canucks last night, but then again all backups - or 1B goalies - do from time to time. The team should just thank Luongo for his effort, encourage him, and go right back to the guy they've been rolling with lately. Don't complicate things.

Hockey Fever Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Our D is so screwed without Tanev. Hopefully they smarten up while he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBaby Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This thread is basically like saying, Marlon and Jermaine Jackson won't be performing tonight, but Randy, Tito, and Michael Jackson will still be there Sedins?

Tearloch7 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yup. Makes me wonder how people actually watch these games. Nearly everybody in the core has been benched by AV, and yes, Twins included. Most of the core experienced this in AV's first year. You will likely not see the Twins (especially Hank) or Kesler benched recently. They have earned their coaches good graces with consistent play. And the team needs their centers. It is a good way to handle the team, players respond to accountability. Some coaches to this day use that to keep players humming to their capabilities. Anyway, its rare that Hansen ever takes a night off. But it can happen to the best players on any given team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
