Yes but we can see where the problems are. There is nothing after Motte, Sutter and Hamonic on the pk. So far that has been proven throughout preseason.
No one is in panic mode. It’s more reality mode. You look at Stanley cup winning teams. They have amazing defense and pk killers. We don’t have that and that is a concern. The experiments have been awful so far. 28th worst in preseason.
It just feels like the gm leaves holes in the lineup so they have excuses in the end as to why the season didn’t go the way they expected. I am really worried about the pk and our right side defense. These holes are huge and it’s why most don’t expect the Canucks to do much in the division. I am frustrated because we can see what’s going to happen before the season even starts.
What is the purpose of this lineup? It’s not helping anything. We are taking so many penalties. It mainly means we are slower and out of position. If we can’t score in exhibition what does that mean for the regular season? I know it’s the oilers main lineup but the Canucks look soooo slow out there.
They always look like the second best team energy wise. I never have understood with Green’s focus on conditioning how our team always looks like they are skating with cement blocks tied to their legs.
Why didn’t we suit up our main lineup for the last two games? Makes no sense. Do we really have to see Burroughs again? The defense on the right side should have been fixed in the summer with someone in better than Hamonic on the right side. Plug one hole another one pops up in its place.
Another excuse for Benning to stick around after this year. Our penalty kill was not good. I hate that we fix one problem and then leave holes
in others.
I really hope they make Rogers arena a tough place to play this year. Tired of seeing teams coming in and making things look easy. I will wait until we have our full team but this feeling feels very familiar during home games.
Anyone have the feeling that if Podkolzin makes the team he will be underplayed this year? I just get the sense that he won’t get that much ice time and will have too quick of shifts to really be able to make a difference.
Can anyone say Boring. Oh well, at least we have something to look forward to when more cuts are made and we can ice our regular lineup, still sucks we can’t get a goal. How much did they sell these tickets for? I feel for the fans there.
Ya it would be nice to see him rewarded on the pp in a meaningless game. I don’t understand why he wouldn’t want to see what he’s got to contribute on the pp.
