He is absolutely useless and the most frustrating player to watch in the NHL. I will be cheering in the streets when his contract runs out or he is traded. you win the interwebz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great game. - Miller was focused and not exasperated. - Our top 9 was great all night. - Vrbata is hitting post-and-in like he used to, not hesitating with the one timers. - Horvat was our best penalty killer, aside from Millsy.

spook007 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great game. Very entertaining. McCann's play was very encouraging... Could he be the setup man for Vbrata on the second line? Hansen has nailed that 1 line spot,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Mccann's point totals are going to skyrocket once he figures out how to win a face off. He damn near sets something up every time he's on the ice but they always have to go retrieve the puck after losing a juicy ozone draw. When he learns how to win those, he's going to get 3 or 4 chances a shift as opposed to 1 then change. Great game by him and vrby though. Man did we luck out with that Anaheim pick, may as well have been the 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shot was not beating the goalie... He simply parried it away like it was nothing. When your teammate is struggling to score, and you're up two goals, you try the pass there... Every time. Especially if you're terrible at shooting the puck Admit it your pretty clueless when it comes to hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great game by McCann, His best game so far Team-high 7 shot attempts, 4 of them on net 5-for-9 on face offs. 56% 1 assist for a +1 rating 21 shifts for 13 min. ice time Canucks outshot the Wild 12-2 with McCann on the ice. Wild only had 4 shot attempts with McCann on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbdoubleu Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Felt like Higgins couldn't keep up with what McCann and Vrbata were doing. He got in their way a couple times. Just one game, but if McCann can stick with Vrbata and they find a better winger than Higgins, I'd almost like to see Horvat play between Prust and Dorsett once Sutter is healthy.

Wild only had 4 shot attempts with McCann on the ice. Yes, and several take-aways on top of all that. There haven't been many games this year when he was over 50% in the dot. Glad to hear Willie say that he'll probably keep McCann and Vrbata together for a while, and I think Higgins was a good complement as well. Give them 3rd line minutes and matchups and watch the secondary scoring come around. McCann flat out belongs and is going to be a force in this league.

Rocksterh8 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Whats with all this "Great Game" stuff? They were very lucky to get that win. Again they sat back in the 3rd, trying to protect when they should have turned it up a notch and put the game away, but no... lets play in out own zone and let Mini take it too us! If not for Miller this was definitely another loss! Wake Up Canucks.... Just Wake Up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually gonna see if anyone knew what our record is with the Prust Thrust in the line up and out of the line up.

It used to be stressful watching the team: because we kind of expected/hoped they'd win. Now it's more like baseball lol: I can just enjoy the beauty of the game, the classy inter-play of some good character players and the development of the younger players. My wife thinks the 2011 "failure" was a turning point for her, as well. btw. I had a feeling a lot of others see it the same way as me. Im starting to view it the same as baseball as well tbh. Enjoy the present for what it is 11 hours ago, khay said: Same thing for me. It was hard to get over that empty feeling after game 7 lass but once I got over it, I was able to just enjoy the games and not get too angry/stressed when we lose or play bad and I was able to just appreciate the good plays from the Sedins and the other players. However, I still do not enjoy watching that defence making that perfect pass to the opposition in the defensive zone, you know the one where they make the pass right down the middle, which usually ends up at the back of the net? Yeah, I love watching our young guys execute plays like this. It's a breath of fresh air because after 2012 I thought it would be a while to see the team the way it is today. Im thankful for that.

Prust definitely has an effect on the willingness to get in the dirty areas. The team plays a stronger game. Look at Virtanen's hits last night! I believe a guy of Prust's truculence (or thrust) gives the team a more confident presence. I don't know how you feel about Milan Lucic, but if Benning grabs him in July, and keeps Prust...I can only imagine how that will effect the teams confidence.
