wallstreetamigo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yes it was a boring game, but com on we have had AV system for years and we should know what that is "Defend the tie." I hate this system too but its weird that we still win most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbyte Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Eveyone that says this game is boring and we didn't get shots etc. doesn't actually play the sports they cheers for. A win is a win at this time of the year. You can't guarantee them and now we look forward to the rest 6 points up on Minny and 3 points back of second heading into a game against the second place team. Higgins will actually make us gel too. Perfect timing for him to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Playoffs! Nice to get that checked off. Not liking the chances, shots disparity. Schneider can win some of these games, but like valk said, we should ourscore our problems, not sit back and let the goalie do all the work. I hope Detroit now wins out and gets back into the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If we're saving those for the playoffs I'm ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopesisCanucks Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Kinda irrelavant in the long run. 15 shots is still worrisome. On the other hand Cory is ready, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monteeun Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yea, leaning on the goalie wont win 16 play-off games, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixteen W's Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 In a sentence, I am officially predicting that the Vancouver Canucks will MISS the playoffs in 2013. Here's why: -Goaltending fiasco. Don't care about PC responses from the players or the GM, this will be a major distraction that will have an adverse effect on team morale. Awkward locker room. Poor allocation of cap dollars. I've said for a long time that the Canucks really missed the boat by not trading Schneider for something that could've seriously helped up in a Cup run last year, and it will for a long time be a regret of ours, IMO. Whatever we get for Luongo will be unexciting and we'll still have a relatively unproven goalie backstopping an alleged "team built to win now". Not a good combination. -Complacency. Why didn't anybody go to Europe? Practicing with the UBC team is hardly an adequate preparation for the season. Makes me think that this bunch has largely lost their hunger. A 5-game post-season exit last year adds credence to this thought. By not going to Europe/Russia, the message in essence is that they'd rather stay in their posh Vancouver homes than be bothered to go try and compete to help stay sharp. Not a good sign. Of course, this doesn't include everybody, but the vast majority of the team chose to not play hockey in the downtime. I expect it to cost them. -Calgary has gotten better. Added good scoring depth in Hudler, and late-season acquisition Cammalleri. Got rid of Jokinen, which is addition by subtraction. Got a proven PP QB in Wideman. Most importantly, a new coach. Would not surprise me at all to see the Flames win the division, somewhat like the Canucks did in '06-'07, out of nowhere and under AV's rookie year behind the bench. -Edmonton has gotten better. Justin Schultz is going to be a star. I like the Fistric acquisition a lot. Dubnyk was very good at the Spengler Cup. Heavy momentum going into the year. Key guys are already in mid-season form. -Minnesota has gotten better. Granlund, Parise, & Suter should all have an immediate and material impact. David Booth's injury announcement yesterday just makes me more confident that this is one of those years where essentially everything's going to go wrong for the Canucks. the Jason Garrison signing is also one that I was/am vehemently against. Don't expect it to turn out good. Sami Salo's presence on the back end will be sorely missed. And no, I am not "hating", so please don't suggest that I am. This is an opinion of mine that I am fully entitled to. Feel free to debate and/or include your own prediction. /topic/338398-the-tide-has-turned-in-vancouver-a-prediction/#entry11065503">http://forum.canucks.../#entry11065503 of the BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Well, I hope Cory gets the memo to start posting donuts starting Round 1, because the way this team is playing offensively, even 1 goal against will be one too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonz Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It's funny going back through the GDT and seeing how many people were saying we'd lose cuz we didn't start Luongo. You can love luongo all you want but you still have to admit Cory is a great goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
