  1. nah. bring up players playing well in Abby. try to get back to 500. promote from within. just roll with it for awhile. this team should be good
  2. right, so the coaches system may not be the problem? Sounds like an execution problem.
  3. just because they didn't score doesn't mean they didn't play well I thought the Canucks were the better team last night and full marks for the win.
  4. System looked pretty damn good tonight eh
  5. Yes, the Canucks played better, hit on more passes, had better break outs and zone entries and took it to the net. They had scoring opportunities, but couldn't finish. Coach is not going to put the puck in the net. Oilers only scored two on the power-play, for the rest were mostly Demko'd. Canucks are a work in progress right now and they seem like a young team. They will improve. All you downer fans, think positive thoughts. Canucks have good players and a ton of skill in the lineup. Repeat after me, we will have a winning hockey team, we will have a winning hockey team, we will have a winning hockey team... Go Canucks Go.
  6. I agree to a point, Hunt hasn't been good. Petan hasn't even suited up so why call him trash? MacEwen couldn't accept and distribute a pass all preseason long. I agree on Gadjovich and feel he could be one that got away, but was and is questionable whether he'd make the roster and likely not as effective as Lammikko. Gadjovich is -2 in 3 games with 19 PIMS. Chiasson played a good game last night, saw 3 great hits from him.
  7. 4 out of the 6 d weren't playing here last year. 2 rookies on the team. At least 3 new forwards on the team, a whole new look bottom 6 really... some Canucks fans... fire all the coaches save maybe 2 of them after 8 games.
  8. The Canucks have barely played with a lead this season so it is hard to comment on how they are defending the lead. Goals get scored in transition with odd man rushes. Teams aren't giving up odd man rushes against them because they've had the lead playing on the road. In all three games the opposition has had power plays in the first period. Canucks didn't get a pp till 4 minutes left in the games last night.
  9. The Edmonton Powerplays won the game last night. This is the best pp in the league and a unit that has been together for years tweaking their pp. I thought the Canucks stepped up their execution last night and are getting closer to playing the kind of game they want to play. Too soon to talk of changing the coaching staff. Team needs some continuity. They made some great plays last night, but didn't finish.
  10. Highmore has been pretty good in my opinion. Need that type of player in the lineup with Motte out. Brings some grit, good speed, not making mistakes.
  11. Just hockey talk. We haven't got a chance to see the Canucks be tight defensively because they've rarely played with the lead so far this season.
  12. The truth, players have to execute the system better. Too many missed passes, sloppy plays.
  13. I missed Hirsch tonight. So sick of Garret talking about goalies. Horvat scores a killer goal, power move to the net, captain trying to lead his team to a comeback and Garret cheapens the goal talking about * Talbot.
  14. not excusing the team from losing, but the calls were chinzy and to the benefit of the opposition in our home opener.
  15. Home opener after so so long, fans back in the building and the * Refs take away all the home team momentum in the first period. Canucks get the opening goal and this is a different game.
  16. I don't mind Hirsch, likely talks too much, the nervous sort, been through a few things kind of guy. Seems like a genuinely nice person. Did well on Afterhours, respectful. I guess I just kind of like it that he is gainfully employed.
  17. practice these lines for next game, Tuesday against the Wild. pearson horvat garland chiasson miller boeser hoglander dowling highmore dickenson pettersson podkolzin hughes myers OEL poolman rathbone burroughs
  18. wow, what a pic from opening night. did they tell Tanev he'd be on camera? icy stars on the visor....
  19. Yeah, kind of true, both the skate and the orca logos. Current logo is going for the C initial. Used by a bunch of teams. Flames have flames, our c has an orca whale coming out of it.
  20. attention Petey, next chance on the pp, attack with your moves and shot first time you receive the puck off a won draw.
  21. wow, Petey to the third and fourth lines second half of the game tonight. hey Green, how about a line of Pettersson and Podkolzin next game
  22. oh yeah, Demko! Rest of the team, not bad, clutch. Should have had goals in the first, but let the Kraken have the first goal in the building.
