1canuck67 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That's what happens when you have a defenisve style coach, who is afraid of taking chances, which shouldn't be the case when you have 2 of the best goalies behind you, just bad coaching.

Gonz Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 It's either the coach defensive minded style or the team doesn't have the personal still to score in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckster Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 When Ebbet got thrown into the Shark Bench in Game 1 AV should have left him there!!! We need grit players that can not only take a hit but deliver them as well. replace our light brigade with some muscle, maybe. Unfortunately Ebbet is a center, so AV will slot him in. Maybe if we did a better job of developing our prospects , the cuppboard might not be so barren!! Why is Ballard in the dog house again? I might play him as center, he was almost our best player last year in playoffs. At a minimum he shows some push back , if not willing to drop em.

n00bxQb Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well, our offense relies almost exclusively on the Sedins, Kesler, and Burrows ... And, outside of Kesler last game and the Sedins in game 4 last year, they've done nothing offensively the last 2 seasons in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckesler Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 if every1 could have the fire and swagger under them like kesler in game 2 we'd be looking good but they arnt... sedins prooving to not be a threat towards sharks team at all tooo many fricken penalties and refs didnt help ether they called some calls that shouldnt of even been a penaltie he called burrows for goalie interferance but happends to luongo TWICE and no call good job ref.

PlayoffHockey Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 When the going gets tough the Sedins get ghost this happens every year. I'm sick of the excuses rip the C of henrik and give it kesler. Too small too soft to compete in the post season. Sedins , Raymond , Ebbett , burrows , Hansen , Roy . 7 of your 9 top forwards are small. A joke in playoff savagery. At this point it would appear that mike gillis is merely taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ballard is in the doghouse because he's a scoring defenseman who can't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Our team needs snipers. Should have added a Semin or that kinda player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Canucks need to get bigger in order to beat the big teams in the west.. Gillis goes out and acquires another midget in Derek Roy who is invisible come playoff time. Get rid of these midgets. Schroeder should be trade bait to go with Luongo after the season. Little guys need to have a chip on their shoulder to have success come playoff time and even then it's only in the east.Gallagher,Marchand,Conacher, St.Louis all play in the East where the teams are not as big and physical and there is more room to operate. You need big guys to win in the western conference. Guys like Roy,Raymond, Schroeder, and Ebbett are best off in the east. It's not hard big guys beat little guys Gillis tried to copy the Red Wings then went back on the team identity when he realized they needed to get bigger. Now the Canucks are just confused what their identity is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dura_mater Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It would have helped, Ebbett's been near useless and Ballard is much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dura_mater Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes your right, because AV is a freaking TOOL who doesn't have a speech before the game, because he's a useless coach who doesn't motivate his players before games. Even Cory Schneider said this last year AV doesn't say much before the game, he comes in and says alright guys let's go out there and have a good game and play are style, wow what motivation so impressed. Don't beleive me watch it for yourself, your coach doesn't motivate anyone because he's a joke, just like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumshoe242 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Is this necessarily the case though with our D man always jumping up into plays and taking calculated chances as opposed to wheel & deal style that was the WCE era? and I think it's more that the team relies too heavily on the Sedins to produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
