  1. People keep saying we need a top line player. Well a top line player doesn't help your team accomplish the basic tasks that this team is having problems doing. They can't even execute a proper dump in right now. Bieksa took his time trying to skate around everyone and by the time he actually dumped it in everyone had stopped to stay onside. Guys are taking stupid unnecessary penalties on the PP. This slump is self inflicted.
  2. You can definitely blame Garrison for that one, but why does Bieksa just give the puck to Anaheim? He's got in his own zone with his D partner right there, open, and he just flipped the puck over to Anaheim. You have a one goal lead, you don't just give the puck over to the other team. If your team has the puck the other team can't score.
  3. Its really concerning watching the other team freely run over our goalies without consequence. Canucks have the best PK in the league, they can afford to take a penalty to send a message. I'm not saying you need to kill the guy, but hey if a guy looses teeth after running our goalie its going to send a strong message. At least return the favour and run their goalie. It's becoming common knowledge that Canuck goalies are fair game.
  4. This team has no backbone. Teams are learning that they can freely run our goalies all day long. I don't care if you have to take a penalty, but they need to run Hiller, just like they needed to run Quick. And I mean a seriously hard run. If you're going to get called you might as well make it good. Right now every team in the league can see that our goalies aren't protected.
  5. Definitely looks like he might be fighting through something. There's been a couple of times where he was pretty slow to get up.
  6. Too many turn overs in the neutral zone. I've never seen a Canadian team with such a lack of forcheck and cycle. They keep trying to pass and skate it in but its not working. Thats a coaching problem. Oh and yet another Drouin turnover.
  7. Laughton and Horvat have the been the most reliable players in the last few games IMO. They may not be scoring, but they rarely make stupid plays and seem to spend little time in their own zone.
  8. I disagree. It's Canada's offensive leaders like Mantha and Drouin that are making bonehead blind passes or trying to do it all on their own that are giving the puck away. You can't produce offence when you're constantly turning the puck over. But then they score and everyone forgets about it.
  9. And just like that, the big save is wasted. That rush by the Fins came on another stupid blind back pass, this time by Mantha.
  10. Drouin scores and everyone forgets above the half a dozen turnovers he made earlier. Now he takes another bad penalty. Kids got skill but he's got a lot to learn. I can see why he didn't stick in the NHL.
  11. Man, Drouin is a turn over machine...and I don't mean he causes the opposing team to turn the puck over. All of Canada's big offensive contributors are making stupid shellfish plays.
  12. He's on pace for 8 goals this year, and its a shortened season. So if you take that into account, you could say he would be on pace for 15 or 16 goals in a full season, which is what he did last year. Plus he's only now getting proper power play time. Oh and he's a solid +9. Coming into a new system, in a shortened season, with a very short camp...I'd say he's doing pretty good.
