stawns Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The third would have beaten any goalie. Lu went for the direction of the close range shot (the range is important) and it clipped off Edler's skate, right in front of him and changed direction by at least 30 degrees. No goalie could react to a ricochet so close, that is why Lu looked so sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 AV is a sub .500 coach in the playoffs. So really, who the frack cares about President's Trophies and Jack Adams awards. Those are REGULAR SEASON accolades. And this team needs a coach who would happily trade all of that for 16 wins come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 AV's an idiot. So many issues with his decisions: Ebbett in the lineup, at all. Daniel Sedin on the point for the PP Roy and Higgins not playing together Not saying anything after a San Jose goal, and just chewing gum and looking at the scoreboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 completely over rated concept, aside from obvious situations like having your 4th out against the other teams top line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Drama Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Av is garbage 48 games to find your lines and you still can't do crap even though your roster is pretty much identical to last few years. Understand we had some injuries but we had good lines when fully healthy yet this fool decides to mix it up Fire this clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would rather my coach follow this over rated concept than the ones he does follow.....like his belief that it is impossible to win without a right handed dman playing or that "staying the course" when things don't work will miraculously result in better results.

darkpoet Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's not coaching. It's not Kesler, and the Sedins skating in sand, it's not the fact we're missing Schneider, it's not because Tanev is still out, it's because.... THIS TEAM CANNOT WIN A FACEOFF TO SAVE IT'S OWN LIFE That is what's going to kill us in the end. No Malhotra = chasing the puck all goddamn night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ok for the AV supporters. I'm actually curious. Do you agree with AV's decision to split up Roy and Higgins? Yes or No Do you agree with having Schroeder over Ebett? Yes or No Do you agree with having Garrison on 2nd unit PP? Yes or No I'm not looking for explanations. I just want to see where your mentality is at with respects to our team cohesion and optimal line up. I think you guys are screwed either way because if you say no to these things, then you are admitting AV has bungled the line up. If you guys agree yes, you will soon see AV go back to these lines because of the lack of production. The only way you guys win is if you say yes you like these moves and AV keeps these lines in tact for the rest of the playoffs and manages to win. (which isn't happening) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Unprepared. Incohesive. Unmotivated. It's not even about getting out-coached by the other team. Maybe the coach should let the players know the playoffs have started? Maybe get on Twitter or something? Because it doesn't look like they know.

Commercial Canuck Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ebbett is in because AV won't play Schroeder on wing, and he definitley won't have Schroeder matched up against Pavelski. That's why Roy is 3rd C right now, because he's our only option. I'd like to see these lines tomorrow, but I know I won't: Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Burrows-Kesler-Raymond Higgins-Roy-Hansen Sestito-Lapierre-Pinizzotto Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Alberts-Ballard Lu/Schneids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 are you saying the lose last night was Luongo's Fault?? If it wasn't for Luo in the First (and the canucks wouldnt have anything to build on - Period 2) and the goals he let in no where near his fault - the PP Goal was just great puck movement and an even better shot the 2nd goal was a pile up on luo and he had no change... ok the third goal was a bit weak - but at that point did you really think the canucks had it in them to come back?? by no means am i a Luongo fan boy.. but he was the reason the game stayed close.. lets just hope schneider is back tomorrow, because for some reason the team seems to play better infront of him.

Fred65 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'd question his strategy change this season. He's not making the most of the teams skill level. But I have a sneaking suspicion this in a management decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campers11 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The fact that AV let the Sedins play any shifts against Couture in a home game is just crazy. I usually like Vigneault, but that was just something that stuck out as awful to me. With the last change at home, he should be matching lines a lot better.

campers11 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I like those lines, although I'd leave Weise in over Stestito, and make damn sure Schneids is the goalie even if he isn't 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Because Schneider was the reason we lost? How about actually scoring no goals? Our only goal Torres put in his own net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
