Funny how when the PP does score, there's a ton of support for the players or excuses are made like it's against a bad team. Perhaps the PP is fine and the better teams simply have strong PKs? As for EP, if he's always in the same shooting spot as many seem to want him to be, isnt that just rooting him to one spot? They want to develop EP as a passing threat too so it opens up his shot. Teams know he can shoot and have closed that shot. It's a season long chess match where if the PP can be effective elsewhere other than through EP's shot then the PK has to respect that which opens up EP for that look again. Right now Boeser needs to get his shot going again. The positive is that teams will have to track Miller more now that he's been on fire and the ice should start opening up for guys like EP and BB. 0-6 against the freakin Devils refutes the other team is good idea.

When we go into the umbrella we can't score to save our lives. Travis Green was asked after that game what they changed, and he said, "Nothing". And then he said something about sometimes the shots just go in. Even a clock is right twice a day. Edited October 19, 2019 by xereau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too much talent to see the puck endlessly cycled between the point and the circles. My opinion remains unchanged. $&!#can this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall Boeser in his 1st year he was skating around and creating open ice, do the same for Petterson in his 1st year. Then they got coached and bought into this overly simple system of hold your position and pass the puck around. We still have Quinn Hughes who has not been tainted by this failing strategy so we need to utilize him to get some movement going. We got lucky with a couple of power play goals from the point, but we can't count on those. This coach is having a bad influence on our players and it's time to move on to someone better, it should not be hard to find someone that can think beyond just a formation. I think you hit the nail on the head there regarding Quinn Hughes. Green should strongly consider putting him on PP1. Since the PP is struggling right now (and no, that’s not a vague reference to erectile dysfunction), it might be in the teams’ best interests to stack up one PP line instead of trying to balance two PP’s. Pettersson-Horvat-Boeser + Myers and Hughes. Leivo’s diaper needs to be changed since he’s clearly been stinking it up down there. Get him of the PP as a whole. PP2 = Pearson-Miller-Ferland + Stecher and Edler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Get the Sedins into this team somehow. PP advisors or assistants would be a nice start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have him down low??? There's 1 FWD. And if they attack its a 4 on 2. Instead they have him down around the hash mark/bottom of the circle with Edler as the shooter. Makes no sense. shoot the puck and crash the net...and box out the "D" , two more players on the ice than the other guys, they should be able to out-man them and box them out around the puck. Passing it around with no shots on net is not a good strategy....rather need a strategy on shooting the puck and puck retrieval around the net...boxing out the "D" is easier when a team has two more players on the ice than the defence in order to get the rebound. Also, setting up the screen, tip is easier if they focus on doing it with two more players. Notice the goal they got....everyone crashed the net....it doesn't have to be pretty.

Maybe it’s time to axe the PP coach? Green will not be too far behind if our top guys continue to struggle offensively. Can’t win consistently without our big boys going.

Some times a player tries to do too much, rather one or two player(s) should play the man and another player or two should play the puck when in front of the net. In other words, one player focuses on the man the other focus on the puck...it's really simple.

Toyotasfan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I am still surprised every time I see the Canucks gain the zone and than drop pass back to centre ice for the defence , seems so pointless doing things twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Yeah the drop pass is ridiculous, it was because the Sedins weren't fast skaters to be rushing the puck into the zone, so they utilized another way for them to open up ice to go in at their pace, now that they're not here and we have quicker players, they shouldn't be using that style of play anymore, hence why Newell Brown isn't the right fit for these new guys.
