vcrguy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 He made it before the game was over and after the empty net goal. Are you guys really jealous he made the PGT??? Really???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 And most of them haven't been playing to their potential for the last two seasons, so at what point do we concede that,due to injuries, they may never reach their potential again? I'm already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Higgins is far from the problem. The fact that the Canucks must use him in the top6 is the problem... Agreed.. that's what I'm trying to say. Love him as a 3rd liner and 2nd line in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Its why they lose to so many bottom feeders. I gather their practices are centered on beating the offensive top dogs like Pittsburgh and don't seem to have a clue on how to play the lower talent trap-first teams. Higgins was snake bitten for sure, but he played hard all game. Don't get the higgy hate. Booth hasn't even earned the title "streaky", as some Booth defenders say. Name even one "streak" he has been on since signing with the Canucks. Sucks that he dragged out his injury so he couldn't be bought out. Lack played good enough to win, but he needed the support at the other end. Not enough crashing the net on a young goaltender. I'm looking at you Kassian. I thought Kass had a pretty decent game tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Canucks with their uncanny knack for making below average goalies look like Vezina candidates. I'm getting real sick of this. It's been going on for years and it's costing us games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Higgins is far from the problem. The fact that the Canucks must use him in the top6 is the problem... Gillis is too 'patient' to make any move. In an ideal lineup if we want to be contenders again, players like Weise, Sestito, Welsh shouldn't be on the team. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Higgins - - Hansen Santorelli - Richardson - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Santorelli is the definition of clutch though. Look at that pass to Higgins. I got to admit, he really proved me wrong at the start of the season. I had him as our 13th forward before the season started and now look at the role he is playing on this team.

DeNiro Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So close. If it makes anyone feel better, that would likely have been Burrows in that position if he was healthy. Burrows scores that goal 9 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows scores that goal 9 times out of 10. Despite my ranting to the contrary, I had the exact same thought. I still think: Sedin, Sedin, Kesler, Burrows . . . we are missing 2 top-6 forwards. We can get away with using either Santorelli or Higgins.. but we're still down one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcrguy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 You know what it means when teams play their back up goalies against us right? (We're a weak team in their opinion). You know what's even worse.................when their back up goalies beat us and are a star of the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
