Popular Post Yung1 Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 The one thing I can't stand is how we play like we're on a PK in our own end when it's 5 on 5. ffs go after somebody. I've never seen a team play 5 on 5 defense the way our team does. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyndall2 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Why is it if a fan makes any type of constructive criticism or comment that they are deemed, NOT A FAN? Yes, the Canucks are 7-3 in their last ten games but several of those games were won my Marky standing on his head, not by a good system or consistent game. Everyone loves Edler and Myers but man they are slow. Once they pinch or get beat at the opposition's blueline they are dead in the water. And, they do that too many times during a game. How many two on ones and three on ones did the Panthers have in last night's game? If you don't have the speed (Hughes) then don't pinch. Yes, it might be a more boring style but it is safer. Green and his staff have to be able to see this when watching the film or do they? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge cause for concern. Good teams bounce back. This team laid an egg twice. Demko made some big saves or it could have been 10-2.

And we may have bounced back, but an early gaffe by Hughes put us behind early. Funny how I see no complaints about him (not that I'm calling for it). He should have played the puck around the boards which was the safe play, but went up the middle, rookie mistake. Learn from it and move on. This is just part of the learning curve of a young group. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green and his staff have to be able to see this when watching the film or do they? Thing is, it's about presentation. It's all well and good to criticize...to present legitimate concerns and focus on the issues - that is palatable. But it doesn't always happen that way and some are frustrated people just looking to vent. Over and over and over on a loop. Some don't put it into perspective with a young/newer team ... calling them a disaster is a bit much. I like facts and this particular person also has compared with a 3 year window: 2016–17 record 30–43–9 2017–18 record 31–40–11 2018–19 record 35–36–11 2019–20 record to date 23–17–4 The past couple of games have been a disaster...I don't know that the team is. They're a work in progress and we should be allowing for that. To label them with a negative is a little unfair. Quinne's been fantastic but has some work to do and mistakes help point that out. Petey's great but, again, it's a good time to fine tune (or not because he's just fine). People are harping on Brock and calling him lazy, etc. Bo's slammed as a captain but he works, hard, every game. The D IS a big concern...we're all aware of that. Goaltending HAS been covering up in many games that we likely should have lost. But, all in all, this team is managing to stay in the race - that's the big picture. Doesn't matter who, what, where, when, how...just that they are. And that means they're on the right path. Not there yet. Not a finished project...but also not a disaster. All fans are fans but, with that being said, some fans fade in and out and the Canucks are but one of their teams - not "the" team for them. Which is fine. But sometimes they take shots at times that appear more to be about proving a point about them, the more knowledgeable fan, than a realistic take on team. Spewed, repetitive and offering little in observation beyond "the team sucks" (not you 2288). They lie in wait with a preconceived notion that's become an agenda and pounce at every opportunity with it. Then are gone when things are going well. We definitely have some of those We are all Canucks has varying degrees of that. All are welcome, but there are some who shoot the team down at every chance they get and, for some of us, that's tiring. Then the homer shots are fired because that's the response (rather than something thought out and civilized). 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Tre Mac said: I thought he played well. One softy but when the team in front of you hangs you out to dry it was irrelevant. It easily could've been another 9 goals against. Especially the second period he made it respectable. Career high in saves for a game says it all. he did recover well, which is a great sign for a rookie goalie. But the team needed a brick wall performance in the 1st to regain some confidence. But onward and upward, I don't think the season ended in Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were still calling us to tank even up to our 7 game streak. We are honestly right where I personally believe we should be. Of course we want to win games and want to not look bad while losing, but we are not a top contender, so I don't see why the team is being crucified similarly as if we are one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts the team behind and changes the outset of the game. The team was already down from the last game and a start like that doesn't help. It got the team to take more chances which led to odd man rushes because the players were struggling stringing passes and had troubles carrying the puck. Can blame the coaching and systems, but the players are just as at fault for poorly executing. Confidence is big for a young team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
