  1. Someone mentioned the lack of practice time as being a significant factor. Even if TG wanted to totally change his systems up, there would be no practice time to do it. I'm not putting this forth as an excuse but it could be a factor. Still, I think team defense is largely a personnel problem. There are a few roster players I'd switch out if possible but that's not going to happen in a covid season.
  2. You look at additions/subtractions to the roster- the result on the ice shouldnt be this bad. Although the Canucks arnt playing well as a group, their leaders clearly arnt playing well enough and they drive the bus. Pointed to TOR, COL and TB and developing winning teams is a process. Said TOR's young elite players are still learning how to play team D and until they win a playoff round, it's still a step they need to figure out. COL/TB have had ups and downs in their process to where they are now. PL says it has taken time (10 years in TB for example)/can be a long process. IMO, that's how sports goes. Canucks are one of his top 3 teams to watch
  3. Interesting take by Pierre Lebrun on TSN1040 this morning. It probably won't lessen the anger Canuck fans are feeling right, but it provides some context. Sums up well how I feel about the highs & lows about sports in general
  4. To my surprise Myers was a +1 last night and is even overall for the season so far. Thought it would have been far worse because he looks like he has been struggling
  5. I can live with Jake. Gaudette I could definitely risk a trade right now. If I could move heaven and earth to trade Myers I would. He's been too much of a non factor in the d zone. But then again I doubt JB has much job security so to do a trade like that. I guess if there was a big shake up roster wise you'd probably have a new GM do it. I wonder.
  6. Forget chances, if you can't make the simple play in the d zone to break out or the one you need to, it won't matter what system you have-you ain't going to have much success managing the puck. Sorry Tyler Myers, but if I had the power to swap you and Tanev right about now...
  7. Omg the drama btw Roy and the goalies.. if it's going to be a gong show might as well go full gong.
  8. Well, on the bright side at least I guess all the time I had slotted for obsessing about Canucks hockey this season are now available for a new hobby
  9. For all the grief Jake gets, he is much more sound overall than Gaudette. Would rather see Zack in the line up over AG long term
  10. Not sure what else he can do. Canucks were dumping the puck in a lot I think to simplify things and just force TOR to work hard but doing that in the d zone (chipping it out) is just suicide. Not that the result is going to be any different
  11. The players need to be better. Gaudette on the third goal knows he was F3 and Instead tries to make a play on the blue line. Canucks are doing a piss poor job defending in zone (maybe other than Chatfield) and just giving up easy shots, and Demko hasn't been great either TG could make some adjustments (remember how much fun it was to watch WD or Torts hockey?) but I doubt you'd see any different results. TG was right about this team looking immature at times. Bad decisions and poor execution.
  12. The thing with Green, is that the style of hockey he wants them to play requires skating and more importantly making plays. He isn't getting either
  13. Fact of the matter is the players have either been horrible or inconsistent. The supporting cast has been good in spots but they're just not good enough overall to carry the top players. And unfortunately for the coach and GM they are going to cost them their jobs
  14. Sigh, I've been really patient with Myers. Starting to have a change of heart, and it's not the penalties either
  15. I miss the Gaming sub forum.
