  1. I don't think I can watch another 82 games of that defensive system. Its driving me bat sh!t crazy. Without some coaching changes I might see more time outside next year. I am so frustrated with the display. I am not upset by the score lines or effort. I understand this is going to be a tough finish to the year, but I dont want to see the exact same product rolled out next year, I just cant face that. Its time for a change in systems, I am more than happy to see Benning continue on with his construction of the team but I want better defensive structure that isn't so passive. By the way how do you play a passive defensive system and still continually give up odd man rushes ? The system doesn't work or something is broken. Im undecided about Green but please for the love of god can we move on from Brown and Baumgartner. Enough is enough!!!
  2. Explains a lot, I have been wondering about the cricket reference in your title.
  3. How do you play with such a passive defensive system and still allow 4 odd man rushes??? Something is really broken with this team!!
  4. Im so over the passive defensive system the Canucks use. Surely its time for a change. Just change up the way they play!!!
  5. The Canucks are just not a fun team to watch at the moment. Slow boring hockey and there is a lack of creativity (I miss Petey). I hope they add some of the prospects just to create so excitment , I dont expect them to set the wrld on fire but maybe we can see what they offer
  6. Holtby was brilliant but the commentators only praise Bogosian??? Are you for real? It seems like Toronto is having a training run, playing against themselves...well thats what it sounds like as they are only calling Toronto plays and players
  7. I knew it was going to be a tough night but this looks terrible so far. I hope this stupid schedule doesn't get in the heads of the young guys
  8. The only time Tennis and Hockey should ever be used in the same sentence is " tenn is a lot of goals in hockey"
  9. Could you imagine what would get dished out if that was Roussel on McDavid? He probably wouldn't play again until 2034. I just hope there is some action taken, if not its an opportunity to just do as you please. I know the contact was minimal, but the intent looked awful!!! These penalties need to be based on intent not outcome.
  10. Every time I see the Canucks get a Too many men penalty I think if this image...."Too much man" one of the best, always brings a smile to my face. Its a shame the penalties today brought tears to my eyes!!!!
  11. Much more constructive power play, entered the zone better and shot the puck. Positive signs
  12. In my humble opinion anyone that is not part of the core for the team for season 22-23 is in the mix for a trade. When I say core I mean contending part of the roster. Therefore I would be looking to move any or all of the following over the next two seasons Sutter, Pearson, Erriksson (if he can be moved, otherwise ride him out in Utica next season), Roussel, Boyd, Vessey, Edler (probably wont waive/nor should he have to, but I wouldnt resign for anything longer than 1 year at $3 or $4 Million max), Benn, Holtby and Beagle. Get as much as you can for any of these guys and replace with players on short term deals to build around the rest of the core ( Petterson, Miller, Boeser, Demko, Hughes, Horvat, Motte , Hoglander, MacEwan, Juolevi, Di Pietro, Lind, Gadjovich, Woo, Rathbone, Lockwood, Podkolzin) As far as Virtanen and Gaudette go I would listen to offers on both and decide if those offers benefited the team going forward. I wouldnt sell either just to get a result but if the proposal was beneficial I would listen. Whilst the expansion draft and flat cap is in effect you can get good bottom six players for short term deals as bargain basement prices, its time to plug holes with those sorts of players (Vesey is good value at $900K for a 1 year deal, they should be the sort of hole fillers the team needs over the next two seasons) In two years time we will know what we have in Lind, Gadjovich, Lockwood and Jasek. Focht, MacDonaugh , Keppen and Kunz should be in Utica so we will have an idea if they are lining up to be the next players to step up in a few more seasons after that. I would offer Harmonic a 2-3 year deal to stay at a lower price maybe $3Mill. ??? Maybe thats too low but I wouldnt be offering much more. With players moved or contract expired, the Luongo rort ended and the core pieces all extended/re-signed there should be enough money to look at a solid 2 pieces to add to the team ( goal scoring forward and a shutdown defender). In a perfect world something like this would make me happy.
  13. Yeah he set McEwan up for a very good chance, but Zack hit the goalie in the crest. Apart from that ....(crickets chirping)......NO nothing else to be honest
  14. So you pass it to a stationary man who is checked and wonder why you get scored on? That was a bonehead play
  15. That power play is just like onions....it brings tears to my eyes!!!!
  16. I have a hard time understanding the system the Canucks are using. On two occasions they had possession and instead of skating in 3 on two they dump and chase! I would think having possession should automatically put the opposition at a disadvantage. Bu dumping it in it becomes 50/50. Its so frustrating to watch. The other tough thing to watch is trying to jam it out of defence up the boards with a short pass to a forward who is marked up tight. I watch the teams we play against and it doesnt seem to be a thing they do.
  17. My favourite part about the selection of Demko in the second round in 2014 is that he wasn't even the first selected goalie. Calgary picked 2 34 Calgary Mason McDonald G Charlottetown Islanders [QMJHL] Ha Ha suck it Lames!
  18. When do the Canucks play???? Im sure I just watch 20mins of Montreal vs Utica!
  19. I think I might have been able to defend that 5 on 3 and i can't even skate!, so static
  20. I don't think so...anyone in Sydney Australia?
