It’s frustrating because we can actually be competitive when 100% healthy, but I guess that’s too much to ask.... Look at a few of the better teams we have played. Did well against Tampa Got run out of the rink against Winnipeg and Washington Got beat up by Vegas even though we won. That right there is the final 4 playoff teams. Tampa looks like the only one that we could come out of a 4 games series alive. I think teams buying into the NHL mantra - Younger-Smaller-Faster will end up fodder in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dKs89 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just brutal man. It's still October and we're missing Sutter, who was having a great start to the season. Baertschi, Nilsson, and Tanev & Edler who were both also having great starts. It's just unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sutter will be missed. With Beagle out especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckster19 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 This is beyond ridiculous, time to call a shaman or witch to rid this team of its injury curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well no worry about getting to play the kids... there are a crap ton of open roster spots... but I wonder if we are going to see Gagner return unexpectedly as another centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragon23 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Before you know it, it’ll just be the Utica Comets up playing. Edler, Tanev, Beagle, Nilsson, Baertschi and now Sutter. Have mercy on us for once. This is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just gonna ask this question. At least if Gags returned & played decent, it's no longer 3 mill AAV flushed down the loo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftmN Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like it's "at least 4-6 weeks for Sutter", with a separated shoulder. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1640542 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget Beagle, so theoretically we are missing our two best defensive forwards. This just can’t be a string of bad luck anymore when it’s year after year after year. Not even funny.

Annnnnd DEMKO still has concussion symptoms which is why Backman is up and not our goalie of the future isn’t called up. That’s already four players with concussions this year already!

I think teams buying into the NHL mantra - Younger-Smaller-Faster will end up fodder in the playoffs I'm starting to get into the belief that there are teams who consistently get injuries and the ones who constantly don't. Maybe it's the style the Canucks play, or maybe the coaches have failed to teach players how to get out of certain situations or whatever. Instead of reviewing tapes on how to score goals, they should be reviewing how to modify plays to give the best results while minimizing the chances of injury.

Toyotasfan Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 It could be that for this team to win they have to constantly outwork their opponent with high intensity flat out hustle. I don’t think the penguins or the capitals have to play that hard to win , they have the personnel in place that allows them to play a more relaxed game.
