  1. I doubt we'll agree on it, so I'll make my point and move on lol... I think the biggest issue early in the season was the defensive structure (or systems) that the coach had the Canucks playing. It was clear, the mantra was to try and collapse into the defensive zone and do their best to keep shots to the outside. Problem was they gave up the blueline so easily and were constantly defending that they couldn't muster any offence after all that zone time defending. That is a coaching thing. The PK was the same. It was a very passive defensive system that invited teams to enter the zone. With coach BB, the defence begins at the opposing team's blueline. A huge difference.
  2. Oh for sure he could prove everybody wrong, but until he does, it'll always be that his size interferes with his ability to be an impact player in the playoffs. The thing with St Louis is that he was built a lot more stocky. His legs were very strong, so he wasn't easy to knock off the puck. I can't say the same about Johnny.
  3. I don't think it's a question of how he performs in the regular season... but as a 'go to' guy for the team, 19pts in 30gms doesn't cut it in the playoffs. I just don't think he has the size to compete.
  4. On the ice? Yeah maybe... in the dressing room? Do you want Kadri taking Podz under his wing? Or Miller?
  5. The current goal song is kinda hilarious though... I'm sure it gets under the other team's skin when they hear it 5 or 6 times in a game haha
  6. Totally agreed. This team is finally heading in the right direction with guidance from one of the most experienced coaches around. Let's give credit to the Asst Coaches too. In the past little while now, the PP and PK have been incredible. I'm with you, I wanna see this roster back for a full season under the current coaching staff. There's a LOT to like about this roster, and they are a lot closer than some people think. They just can't seem to see past the fact this team SUCKED under coach TG.
  7. A team that was built by GMJB finally realizing their potential. In the past while now? Top 10 on PP, PK, GF, GA, and right now? The hottest team in the league going after a playoff spot after a dud coach kept them playing .300 hockey for 1/4 of the season.
  8. That's what the goal song should be changed to if coach BB is extended. Would be annoying for other teams to hear 'Whoomp (Bruce) There It Is' 6 or7 times in a game lol And the bass from that song would rock the arena all night long haha
  9. No it doesn't... maybe Halak should be in tonight. Besides, despite what so many posters on CDC are saying, this team hasn't been carried by goaltending in awhile. It's the 5+ goals a game that makes it easier to win games. The PP and PK are top 10 in the league in the past little while, offence and defence 5v5 are also right near the top of the league too. But yep, keep telling me that this is a bubble playoff team because Green had them playing .300 hockey for 1/4 of the season.
  10. Yes, and let's not rip this team apart in the offseason again. The last time this team had this kind of cohesiveness and determination, we saw Markstrom, Tanev, Toffoli, Edler, and Co. all leave one after another. Ripped the chemistry apart on the team. Now we're hearing the same vibes of moving Miller, Boeser, Myers, Garland, and heck, some even talk about Bo. How on Earth does this team gain any momentum and chemistry when they keep getting dismantled?
  11. Funny thing is there was outrage over the Miller deal too lol... WHAT? WHY WOULD WE TRADE AWAY OUR 1ST ROUND PICK FOR A 3RD LINE WINGER????
  12. He was covering Bo's responsibilities. That's why he was quieter on the offensive side of the puck. I was quite happy with how he played.
  13. I still believe if coach BB was here from game 1 this season, there would be no question this team is in the playoffs. Coach TG had them playing .300 hockey for over 20 games!! That is absolutely atrocious.
  14. You might be right, I haven't checked yet. Either way, let's just win all the remaining games to be safe lol
  15. Averaging over 5 goals a game during the streak. Unreal.
  16. Oh there you are!! I figured my post would bring out the trolls from under the bridge.
  17. No it won't because you'll be doing the GDTs for the rest of the season. We'll be in before game 82
  18. Best part about having a back to back is that the annoying pro-trade Miller trolls won't have time to hijack the PGT thread before the next GDT takes over lol Keep winning boys, every win is making those trolls look dumber and dumber
  19. For some apparently this team sucks and needs to be torn down starting with Miller, Boeser and possibly Garland and Myers.
  20. Tonight he's playing like he did in the playoffs. He's a beast when he's on his game. I dunno why people want to just dump him... then what? Go and find TWO top 4 RHD instead of just one?
