stanleycanucks Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 With the NHL season moving to crunch time, when it's time for teams to begin "flipping the switch", it's incredible to see the Canucks continue to fall asleep at the wheel with the lesser teams. Looking at this season, tonight's loss in Arizona is the 10th loss to the league's bottom dwellers. Over those 10 games they've lost by a combined score of 45 to 19. Out of those 10 games, they've come out with a whopping 1 point. What a head scratcher! Willie seems like a good coach, so it's not like the players aren't prepared. Will this trend be their undoing down the stretch here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's embarrassing. Hamhuis has been one of our worst for turn overs. The guy has been doing it consistently. And bonino ??? Wow. I don't know what has been on Danny s mind defensively lately but it hasn't been hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I agree. They need to play better at the start of the game. I would not mind some lull moment in middle of the game but not at the beginning of the game and they have been doing this in last 5 games. They have allowed the first goal in the last 6 of their last 7 games indicate that they need at least a period to get going in the final 2 periods which is not good. They need to find a way to prepare themselves for a better play at the start of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Against a team like Arizona, getting players back from injury is probably not a good thing. Psychological let down. Glad that's over. Eddy stole us a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hope it does this team needs a wake up call. Benning needs to trade parts of the core. New season I'd like the team to look like Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Baerstchi-Bonino-Vrbata Burrows-Horvat-Jensen Dorsett-Matthais-Kenins Extra Vey Richardson, Higgins, Hansen all traded Defence : Edler-Tanev Hamhuis-Clendenning Sbisa-Bieksa Extra - Stanton Traded Weber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what has been on Danny s mind defensively lately but it hasn't been hockey Hamhuis is fine in the defensize zone, it's his offensive zone turnovers that kill all the momentum and the chances going other way. Hamhuis really should really work on getting shots through traffic (at least the first blocker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanaholic Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 We are truly one big joke? All I know is that I sure hope Willie watches the number of turnovers that this team gave up especially in the overtime the next time he wants to sit out ZACK for giving up the puck. TRUST me, if he doesn't remember I'll sure be reminding him . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Brutal, we lost to the lowly Sabers and now to the lowly Coyotes. This team needs a wake up call, I'm concerned how more teams are getting into playoff contention. We better make the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At age 32 we would not expect significant age-related decline yet. He should have a couple of very good years left. While Edler was out he was outstanding, basically carrying the D, playing big shutdown minutes with a partner (Weber or Sbisa, usually) who is not even a legitimate top 4 guy, let alone a top pairing D. And even tonight, he was the Canuck's best D. And, although the Canucks gave up too many good chances, the D was not the real problem tonight. That was mainly the result of not scoring early and then having to take too many chances. But I agree he should not play on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
