You think he filled the holes on pk and right side defense. I am all for being optimistic but there has to be a dose of reality. That defense and pk is a big weak spot at this point.
-
Didn’t they protect Matthew highmore?
-
If he was a good player that worked out he wouldn’t have been left open to the expansion draft. Also how many assets have we gotten back from these good players? Zero. It can put the franchise back if they turn into nothing. Which they have.
-
Suddenly drafting doesn’t look like Benning’s biggest asset. Virtanen, Lind, Gadjovich and Joulevi all gone. That’s not a good on a resume at all. They were all relatively high picks too. Imagine if some of those had worked out. Would we have the holes in our lineup that we do now? Makes you second guess him as a manager and all these wasted assets.
-
How do they convince this fanbase that this defense is good enough? We all know it isn’t. I just for the life of me don’t know how we go into the season feeling confident with the right side of our defense and pk. The management just seem to think things will work out with that happy go lucky attitude. Everyone knows it needs to be upgraded somehow to be competitive.
-
They try to be so much smarter than everyone else by making these moves and a lot of them don’t make sense when there are obvious answers they tend to go with the opposite making the wrong decisions. Beyond frustrating. The vision or lack there of at times with this management group is depressing.

Man our right side defense with Hamonic gone is going to be a huge problem. This should have been dealt with but as usual they are so slow at responding to situations.

Scoring first and building on the lead.

I understand before he didn’t have the tools but now he does and it seems as though he is still not getting them to play with a lot of intensity. It’s preseason I get it but would it have killed them to at least played one dominating game this preseason to show they have it in them. That’s what concerns me. A chemistry issue most likely. -
I at least hope they try Garland on the wing with them. I don’t get why Green refuses to try the obvious. Everyone was saying he would be good on Bo’s wing yet we didn’t really see them together. Then again we never saw anyone consistently together to gain some traction and chemistry.

The biggest problem this team had this preseason so far was not enough time to work together and it showed last night. I sort of blame the coaching staff because they I could have stopped looking at who is going to play on the third and fourth line a few games before. We didn’t need to see players like Burroughs and Chaisson, etc, so often. It’s hard to know what they really have to give them a proper grade.

I am just wondering what people’s thoughts are on the importance of scoring first and building on the lead. If there is one thing I really want the Canucks to do this year and considering our lineup is to push the play and attack more aggressively. We have the guns to do it. I am just worried Green’s system doesn’t preach that or allow that. We played so many games last year from behind and scoring first was a problem. Yes they can come from behind but it changes the game if you get that first goal. Even if they scored 50% of the time first last year this wouldn’t be an issue. I would also prefer they push the play and build on their leads a lot more this year. Last year they tended to sit back and just wait for things to happen rather than control the play and go after a team. Any thoughts on this or concerns? The season hasn’t begun so I will give them time but I am just worried they are all so relaxed and about it. The great teams attack and keep on attacking.

People say we need Sutter and Motte back for the pk and that is true but what in their history tells you they will remain healthy. Benning needs to fix it and add more penalty killers. Not easy. Most likely they will be injured at some point throughout the year and then what do you do. It’s a hope and a prayer right now someone will step up and they haven’t. Not good.
-
One thing that frustrates me about the gm is that there always seems to be some controversy surrounding the off-season. If it isn’t Tyler toffoli, Tanev and now Sutter and Hamonic. There is just something off that seems to happen and throws the season off the rails at the beginning. Is it coincidence or is something else there? It is concerning.
-
It seems like we are a team with so many excuses as why it’s ok to lose compared to other clubs. Something new every year. I am hoping it’s just a chemistry problem but we will see on Wednesday. I am really worried about starting on the road the first 6 games. It feels like we haven’t had our first game be at home in a long time. Do the schedule makers hate us or something?
