  1. Or they're delusional to believe they can somehow compete in the NHL with these systems. I have to wonder if the players know their systems suck and that leads to the frequent lack of effort and execution we see.
  2. And yet it has been that way for years and the architects of it remain in charge. Despite the appalling statistics, the same system remains in place. Only in Vancouver.
  3. Agree. No way new coach created that smothering system executed that effectively timely in 1 week. It is frustrating that we are not eve close to implementing as effective a defensive e strategy. Ours still revolves around surrendering shots and relying on the goalie to play lights out.
  4. Or the Habs play a very high pressure puck game that takes away time exposing our weakness in that area.
  5. Almost as if the s outed the nucks, analyzed out tendencies, came up with a game plan and executed.it. What a novel concept...didn't see any evidence to our Nucks preparing in a similar manner and if they did, they sure as hell didn't execute it.
  6. You know the Nucks will go on a run shortly after they are eliminated and end up middle of the league. They are the league leaders in moral victories.
  7. Every bit as frustrating as our poor puck management is the almost total lack of a physical presence. We play like the other team are wearing non-contact jerseys. Instead of actually hitting a player with the intent of separating the puck and/or causing a turnover, we poke with our sticks, do a skate by or gently bump them while leaving them in control of the puck. That to me is the defining culture of the canucks and has been this entire century. We haven't played physically as a team since the 90s with Williams, babych, Linden etc. We are easy to play against whether we outscore our opponent or not.
  8. Apollo lives in an alternate reality where Vancouver has the best owners and management. Coaches are geniuses. Players are the best in the league and the Canucks are going to win the cup every year. Delusional but always happy and content.
  9. They look to me to be far more aggressive in all zones versus our mostly passive approach. They close fast on the puck carrier and arrive when the puck does versus our approach to coast in and react to what the other guy does. Basically they force the playa while we react to it.
  10. Green saying how Pearson does a lot of little things that most people don't notice. Sounds like he's hoping to.bring him back on a 6x6.
  11. Demko played lights out tonight and we are still down by 4. Montreal could have been in double digits if demer was just average.
  12. And not much else. And to think demko wasn't even JBs first choice in that draft.
