  1. Lol this reminds me of Bernie Pascall on BCTV news about 3 games after Pavel Bure joined the Canucks. During the noon hour sports he proclaimed "Do we want to watch Toller Cranston, or a guy that can help the team win". BTW, Toller Cranston was a figure skater. Old Bernie wasnt impressed by the fact that Pavel hadnt scored yet and came to the conclusion that the Canucks need a team guy that can score instead of a a prolific skater that took it upon himself to create scoring chances. Looking Back now Bernie looks like a fool. You do not reign in QH. We need more QH, not less.
  2. A big part of the problem is a general lack of talent. I know our core of kids is enviable, but our D is below average (outside of QH) and secondary scoring is average at best. Look at our D then Look at the D of the stanley cup champs. A big mobile puck moving D that can separate guys from the puck, break up cycles, and make smart decisions vs our tire fire that cant break up cycles, contributes little offensively (outside of Quinn), and play the puck like a hot potato out of the zone.
  3. I think you are the only bright spot after these losses Fig ( not joking!)
  4. A lot of dump n chase going on. Is it a lack of talent or is it coaching or is it both? Green can be criticized but there’s multiple elements going into these performances. Some of our d men look like they will never score, hit the net with anything other than a shot to the crest, or make the right play in the d zone. When certain forwards are out there you expect absolutely nothing to happen. what is making things even uglier is that our top guys look like they are losing confidence. Bo looks like an imposter, the difference between this Brock and rookie Brock is significant. EP looks overwhelmed trying to retrieve pucks. i don’t know what will turn this around quickly. Sometimes the coach gets sacrificed to shock the system. in the grand scheme of things maybe the best long term fix is a very strong draft. tough time to be a fan... again..
  5. Well this isn’t all on green. Outside of 4-5 guys there’s a certain lack of talent On the bright side the spreadsheet pushers say this is a good draft year
  6. Well this was the was supposed to be the most winnable game in the next few.... This team looks so done.. and it’s only December.
  7. AM I missing something here? Why would they pay these pukes off? Pay them to get the data back...data they can make copies of...why would you trust these guys to be honorable in any transaction. Unless the locked down their systems and had to pay them off to get access again.
  8. Really, to me it looks like they started in 2009 with Matt Duchene at 3rd overall, then 2 years later Landeskog at 2nd overall. Colorado had a bit of a boost picking 1st, 2nd, 3rd (not in that order) within a 5 year span starting in '09.
  9. On the bright side Just noticed that with that goal EP tied Hischier for career goals scored and the goal scoring lead for the 2017 draft class. Difference is that EP has played 73 less games. Glad NJ won that draft lottery. The teams that got shafted by the draft lotto (Van and Col) came away with the best players.
  10. Glad I ain’t watching from the sound of it. I’m stuck in a mall lineup to see Santa with my littlest one. ill get my kid to ask Santa for a new pp coach, secondary scoring, 2 top 4 dmen ...
  11. A big part of the problem is that the d, QH aside, are a zero threat to generate anything from the blue line. They kill the play let alone generate anything. They have hung all of their hopes on a phenom d man .. it’s worse now that edler is out. I’m worried they are going to exhaust the kid or make him more prone to injury. where are they going to get another point generating top 4 d man. Not of qh calibre.. just a steady 30-40 point guy.
  12. And as someone else mentioned .. wait to get possession before pulling the goalie. Lose the draw and then possession and you compromise your chances right away.
  13. Other than QH that whole blue line is a black hole of offence. top guys can’t score right now. coaching is suspect. this team is good enough to be in all the games but frustrating at the same time. As fans who are in here day in day out it’s a tough haul enduring this #&@$$
  14. They need another guy on the blue line that can generate offence. tanev, benn, Meyers have like 0 chance to score...
  15. 5 guy collapse system again. Hand the other team the perimeter. Tiring...
  16. Nobody can make play. EP bad passes on pp. Horvat multiple bad passes. Miller coughs it up at the blue line. Those are the four primary guys on offence. All not good in the first.
