WillyFox Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The only positive spin I can put on last nights game is that we are two more losses closer to a 12% chance at first overall! I hope JB’s time is done for cap crunching us and he gets shown the door. Green should be fired and replaced with more experience... I hear Peter Laviolette Is available? I have the wild in 4 games, they are just a better team and it showed. Did Green already put a positive spin to last nights disgrace of a performance? Man I miss the Sedin era they at least could win a series or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the one with Jake, he's able to go off wing where he's always been a better scorer or play maker. Players have been using this since atom, it's not a "system" employed by a coaching staff. It's something they do naturally from years of doing it. Sure, coaches can talk about supporting the puck, but they don't say "ok, it's time to out the attack triangle strategy into play boys!"

Stetcher looked overwhelmed for a lot of the game. I think Boeser and TT should switch spots. I’d take Gaudette out and put Sutter at Center between Ferland and Jake. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Well if Toffoli keeps this up he’s making it easier to not offer him a contract. I think we should part ways with him regardless. 5-6 million per on a long term deal isn’t a good idea in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Nucks are gonna need all four lines rolling to beat the wild. Will be interesting to see Greens decisions for game 2. Roster adjustments or do they just keep rolling and hopefully get some offense going? I don't think the Nucks played horribly- I'd say 5 on 5 the Canucks were the better team. Credit to the Wild tho, they capitalized on the PP and won the game. Overall it was a very entertaining game despite the frustrating result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leads the team in GWGs. 18 goals this season playing 13 min. Leads team in takeaways per minute played. Over 100 hits. 4th in even strength goals with 12.

I'd put in Loui for Sutter based on scoring potential, Loui has a better chance of scoring on a rebound than Sutter imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to add these aggressive forward and make it hard for Wild D men.. Need to cause havoc in front of the net with a Virtanen making a rush at full speed heading straight for the goalie... Miller - Petey - Taffoli Pearson - Horvat - Boeser Ferland - Gaudette - Virtanen-- Extra speed on forecheck with jake driving to net full speed with puck, rebounds and scoring chance.. Roussel - Beagle - MacEwen -- cause havoc on forecheck with MacEwen I think we do need the crash and bang element and Green needs to play that card with Virtanen and MacEwen. They need some of that in the top 6 though. We need to mix up the skill and bangers better.

What Green attempted last night was utterly defendable by how mini can set up their d so fast and how much support the f's contribute. We can't give them that time, imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson Sutter Toffoli- Sutter with 2 decent wingers Motte Beagle Roussel- Crash N bang line hopefully... I agree. I don't want to put words into your mouth but Gaudette is not ready for this level of competition. Overall I thought Canucks played an OK game. Canucks D played well. As a skill oriented team Canucks' passes were off. They need to simplify their game and avoid making complicated plays until they regain mid-season form. Markstrom should have saved both goals. Roussel and Pearson need to control their emotions. Neither teams scored 5 on 5. Minnesota got some bounces and the Canucks did not. I would not be surprised if the Canucks got some lucky goals next game. People are singing praise for Minnesota D. Lets's see how good their D is when they are down 2-0.

Rush17 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Jake plays better when he's the guy. Every time he's counted on as the guy he excels. Him coming in knowing he needs to be a key guy might spark something in him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
