He was just looking to create space with his body and there was just a height mismatch. Bull it was a blind side cheap shot not to mention a blatant pick/interference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't any one individuals fault, it's the fault of the coaching staff and their methodology. The D men are just playing the style of defense they're being told to. Which is box out, clog up the lanes, block shots. When I looked at it a couple weeks ago Edler and Tanev were like 2nd and 3rd in the league for blocked shots. That speaks volumes right there. Bottom line is that you won't see a change in the teams style of play until the coaching staff changes because they are the driver of that bus. Regarding Bo, I don't think there was anything malicious about the play. It was coincidental contact. Apparently Bo went over to talk to the guy after and he hadn't even realized he hit him in the head. No need to give him the Steve Moore treatment over it! After awhile, the coaches had to take some responsibility for the passive or cautious style they play during crucial times of the game cause with other coaches Edler (younger) play was somewhat different. It is the coaches who determines who is on the ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Working in Van City Short term...you know building the pipeline...lol This team has a ton of potential...got tickets for Hurricanes, Knights and Blues...finally see them play other teams "live" rather than Calgary. Team needs to keep the pedal to the metal in the third by keeping it simple. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette jumped out of the way of the tieing goal instead of blocking it at the point. Or was I imagining it?

Pete M Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, MikeyD said: I disagree. He wasn't invisible at all tonight. He wasn't in the offensive zone making many of the plays but he was pushing the play extremely well and moving his skates from the defensive zone into the offensive zone. I'm highly critical of him too, but he did a lot of the little things right and that's the reason why he got 2 secondary assists. He could be playing better but that's just on an offensive standpoint. He's been playing great lately, but he hasn't been getting the puck much. agree that those secondary assists in the defensive zone can lead to clean breakouts which end with a goal....a goal would not have happened if a player hadn't dug deep and won a puck battle or a race for the puck...these little things do lead to big things. Boeser is fine, the Penguins game he was on for the last two goals that mattered, that was really the only game I've seen where he sh$t the bed.

Phat Fingers Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 First star of the game, the skate jerseys. Miss the old gold red and black. Best Jersey and logo the team ever had. Don't mind the blue and white, don't mind the C... way better than the V's. The Retro Rink is cool. The lunch bucket teams of Smyl and Linden are the ones I am most fond of. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukfanatic Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) This is kind of off topic, but I just noticed that Horvat, Hughes, and Monahan have the same amount of points. Gaudreau has one less than those three. And we have Petey / Boes / JT Miller all with more. Haha....so much for Calgary being ahead of us in any rebuild. Calgarysuk fans are pissed and talk a lot about trading Monahan. Awesome days......lol Edit: although both teams are tied with 34 points each (Canucks have one game in hand). We next play Calgary on Dec. 29 in Calgary. Looking forward to it. Double Edit: I forgot to mention Lucic the scoring machine. I guess that puts Calgary in a better spot than us going forward Edited December 9, 2019 by Kanukfanatic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
