Canucks Curse Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 0-2-3 at homejust a few things- Young players are not playing enough-BO -played under 14 min and only killed the penalty in over time (which was fantastic)-MccAnn, a few mistakes, but was flying out there - why not use him in overtime...-Beartschi -this game was made for him, speed and skill but he is barely given any opportunity.-Virtanen - again this game is made for him in that there was a lot of speed and space out there but he was used sparringly and he could have set a tone physically in the third.-poor line change at end of game - not sure who's fault that is but does not look good.-Team looks unmotivated in the third, 3 3rd period leads melted away and not to star teams either - wings, oilers, flames-are the sedins the only players allowed to play in even strength in overtime??- I just see a cocah who cannot make in game adjustments for the life of him,cannot figure out how to hold leads, does not play young players and yet he says he knows what they can do and they need to be sheltered.

BanTSN Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We play the young guys more icetime and instead of getting 1 point tonight, we get 0.Better? Look at the standings. We're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not sure WD is out of his depth but he does get out coached. This team won't be good for a while, and WD is supposed to be good at developing kids. I'm willing to let him play out his contract (2 years), after that it's time to bring in coach Green from Utica. Right now it's rebuild time. I don't mind that, we need to rebuild and it's a process. It'll be 5 years before this team turns around so be patient.

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Baertschi and Virtanen simply didn't do enough to earn any more minutes. I am with WD on this - they shouldn't just get more minutes because they're young. Quite frankly, everyone else played better and harder than those two. Why have Virtanen skate around doing nothing when Prust and Dorsett at least generate some chances and energy? That being said, we're not using the kids right. Lumping 3 struggling kids together is just plain stupid. Horvat still needs support, he's by no means good enough to be his own center yet, and Baertschi is similar. Virtanen just doesn't belong in the NHL yet and I think this experiment has to end ASAP.I'd like to see this for a bit more kid support: Sedin - Sedin - VbrataBaertschi - Sutter - BurrowsDorsett - Horvat - HansenShinkaruk - McCann - Prust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo.Horvat53 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Baertschi and Virtanen shouldnt play together. In fact, I think both of them need a game or two in the pressbox. They arent really doing anything with the ice time they have. WD played McCann nearly 12 mins. Why? Because he was flying, right from the start, arguably our best forward. Baertschi and Virtanen need to be split up, and show some more emotion out there. I know its tough not playing that much and then getting shifts here and there...but im not seeing enough.

linden17 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 i agree with most of your points. i think in OT the Sedins dont have the foot speed to keep up with the open ice. i think we need to gamble and use the young guys with speed. mccann looked like he was flying and willie may of needed to reconize that a bit. Hopefully he will see that and use the speedier players next OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 We play the young guys more icetime and instead of getting 1 point tonight, we get 0.Better? Look at the standings. We're fine.Because the young guys were the ones that took penalties that cost us a goal against, and again in overtime right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linden17 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 i really hope that we arent starting a bash willie thing here. this core hasnt been able to produce for three years. we got young guys coming up. remember its going to be a transition period. we arent going to dominate this year. And sometimes games like tonight are valuable lessons for the young guys. relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 No wins at home is fine? it is, if everyone buys in that we're in a "rebuild" phase xD this team isn't in "rebuild mode." if that were the case, we'd be like cbj right now, with everyone saying, oh, we're fine, but a team on a rebuild, like how people claim the canucks to be, arent playoff teams. this team, sadly, is still a playoff team. it has no real right to be, but this team still has talent to get through people claim WD is this excellent teacher, but its no different than when we saw vigs in charge. in 3 on 3 overtime, you dont trot out an aging daniel and henrik sedin, who can no longer keep up with the play. it's dumb, and it needs to stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Willie is totally getting out coached..3on3, pk ice time distribution, line changes, not going with our speed to force turnovers..he's in WAY over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
