Roster just is not that great and now it's getting exposed. Third in the NHL in shots allowed. The D group that Benning assembled is simply not good enough and for that he should be fired in the offseason. You can point to coaching but bottom line is this is Benning's second coach and no GM has missed the playoffs this long in franchise history. At the cap with no picks in the first two rounds - too many costly mistakes. How much longer are we going to let Benning learn on the job? How many head coaches does he need to go through? Hughes was a gift, picture this roster without him, it's downright scary. Like I said before - too many mistakes.

It's not the players, its the D zone system. They simply don't go and get the puck like they do in the other two zones of the ice. They collapse, and spin, and give the other team the entire perimeter. If the Canucks collapse, its giving the other teams a mini powerplay. The only game in recent memory where they flipped the switch and puck pressured was vs Boston. Baumgartner has to be canned.

For years now we have seen a barely adequate defensive core,and if we had some real NHL caliber defense our goalies would be great.
A Goddamn Zamboni driver played net and won with proper defense men.
I know it is hard to bring in some quality players but drafting defense should be the priority going forward.
We have Hughes now and as a rookie he is showing up MOST of this defense core for there lack of skill.
So no more excuses WE NEED QUALITY DEFENSE MEN.
