  1. @WHL rocksCommented to me on the closed thread that Winnipeg was a trap team. I've noticed that the Canucks don't do well against trap teams. Sept 26 Arizona 4-2 loss (preseason) Oct 19 New Jersey 1-0 loss Nov 8 Winnipeg 4-1 loss others?
  2. Why is Eriksson even playing......he's been by far the low minute man the last few games....isn't it only logical that he come out and Gaudette play bottom 6?
  3. The Jets have obviously done their homework on the Canucks thru the neutral zone Their forwards are still good and quick off the counter. Canucks not exploiting the Jets D
  4. Of course, the Canucks are viewed as a threat now. They're going to have to learn to play their best every game. They seemed discombobulated to me, passes not connecting, poor flow.....who knows why? They went from possibly their best game of the year to their worst in 2 days. I expect better tonight in Winnipeg. Interested to see Chatfield. Does he get the nod or do we see Fantenberg on his off side?
  5. McDavid may be faster but in relative terms it's Pavel. Skaters are better today than in the 90's
  6. Look, Benning wants internal competition and he wants his players to earn their ice time in that kind of environment. He just isn't moving out players and rolling out the red carpet for an unknown quantity. Also, what if Tryamkin comes over, has mixed results and heads back to Russia after a year. Benning isn't going to weaken the team's D for a maybe. If Tryamkin wants to come and play in Vancouver, he's going to have to work his tail off like everybody else.
  7. That's part of it, the other part is health. He was battling groin and sports hernia injuries and just could not get around
  8. Totally agree. The young Canucks core is going to get better and better over the next 5 years. Only Horvat is near his prime. Heck, Podkolzin has another year after this before he's even at camp.
  9. Was a good idea to be cautious with this. I know from experience that while something like this feels ok after the game, you find out the next day the long term prognosis. Sure hope he's back Tuesday.
  10. Yes, even Loui gets excited about how this team is playing
  11. The Ducks suck, the Canucks have dominated and are getting frustrated because of a hot goalie....sound like the NJ game?. Now the "refs" are equalizing the penalties. wtf
