  1. put OJ back in and Bench any 1 player not named Hughes...you really have nothing to lose at this point.
  2. He seems to be very stubborn, and doesn't evolve with the game. When you are losing this bad, 5 games in a row now, one would think you might try tinkering with the defence and not just the forwards. He just keeps trying to force good things with the D. and it is not going well.
  3. Me too man. I just can't believe how weak he plays, almost as big as Chara, and uses none of it to his advantage.
  4. So many times I have to yell at my TV, "why did you not hit that guy?" It's almost as if they've been instructed not to hit because it will take them out of the play. Everybody is so weak and slow, so easy to rub off the puck, no effort to try and get it back, slow decision making, in the wrong position, passes way off the mark. the whole thing stinks, and after every game they come out and say "played alright, just put this one in the rear view and move on" There's where you start, accountability, start calling each other out!
  5. You do realize the tourney is being played in Toronto/Montreal right?
  6. Luongo should have had the chance to lose the net, he earned that from the last olympics, when he took over for Brodeur! I like price, but you gotta respect the guy who did it before.
  7. I Like Gillis, and I don't think he should be canned yet, but I don't think he's followed the plan that got him the job in the first place! Moneyball was t what he stressed would make an elite team, he has not stuck to that philosophy. If you wanna see Moneyball applied to Hockey, Chicago has a system the whole NHL should be salivating over, they don't hold onto role player longer than they have use for them. With good drafting, they have the luxury to trade players when their value is high, like after winning the cup, and have young eager players to take their place, thus repeating the cycle. Keep in mind they tanked for a few years got the high draft picks, but Dale Tallon and Stan Bowman have done wonders for that team. We may need a year or 2 of the late 90's again for the high picks but it could really help this team in the long run, Problem is, can the City and fans of this team handle that kind of reset?
  8. Shoulda had the raymond goal, Don't know why he was still on his knees after MayRay skated that far from the net. He had no chance on the other 2, Corrado had to do a better clearing the front of the net, (he'll learn that in time) and Jesus christ Edler needs to learn to box players out instead of watching the puck, If he had turned the other way and took care of Kessel, the puck would have hit him in the back and dropped instead of having forward motion towards the net.
  9. the amount of times during the game he went on about his hand being slashed, you'd think his hand shoulda been broken. I counted 4 hand slash embellishments from him, not to mention as he and Burrows were getting into a scrum he grabbed his mouth, when Burrows slashed his arm...........and WE are the divers? Not gonna get into the officiating rant, but c'mon, you can call those too.
  10. I was excited for Torts at the start, thought this team needed a coach to call them out, but I agree that the players on this team are not suited for his style of game. IMO this team is still built for puck possession, not enough changers were made in the off season.
  11. +1, Goaltending is not the problem with this team.
  12. I have never seen a team that can make a complete mess of an odd man rush more than the Canucks! it's almost like they get so excited that it's happening and get nervous, always a shot from the outside or someone tries a highlight reel deke and the play goes dead fster than it began, very frustrating to watch. And what's the deal with Daniel and slapshots this season? his bread and butter has been wristers and one touch redirects, yet he's always slapping it now. I really don't think this is the team to play Tort's style hockey, Block and counter is not the way this team was built, so IMO either start the re-tool now or make another coaching change in the offseason, cause it ain't working.
