Peaches Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Why not put Hamhuis on the 1st unit? He is good at getting his shots through. Put him and Salo on the 1st unit and also have Burrows on 1st unit Kesler 2nd unit. 1st Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Hamhuis-Salo 2nd Higgins-Kesler-Booth Bieksa/Gragnani-Edler Thoughts?

elvis15 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Salo on both PP units? And no Edler? He didn't have a good night last night but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demo250 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 AV said today in his presser that they need to get the PP going and that the best one of the game was that last one when we took Eddy off the top unit. I think we'll see game two first unit start without Edler. My post is making it sound like AV threw him under the bus. He didn't though. He just basically said we need Edler to play at the level we all know he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I don't think Daniel will be back for game 2 so we need someone else to be on the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHawkSniper Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Only put Edler out if he can recite the golden rule. "I will not even at gunpoint do a drop pass ever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Juice just needs to give Edler some more red bull. That happens then he'll be just fine . What I would like to see however: (if Reinprecht is called up and Daniel can't go) Kassian - Henrik - Burrows Kesler - Edler Booth - Reinprecht - Higgins Hamhuis - Salo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.Bieksa3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm curious as to why no one wants/mention Bieksa for the first PP unit? Bieksa barely had real power play time this year, all he ever gets are the garbage time (the leftover PP time) that the first unit fails to score on, yet he's had a career year with 44 points almost all from even-strength (only 5 back from Edler, who gets majority of his points off the PP). Bieksa has a good shot, is a great passer, and one of our best D-man that can keep the puck in the offensive zone. So I'm curious as to why no one(even AV) wants to try him on the first unit?

dhj89 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'd like to see the canucks use the "intentionally wide point shot" strategy more. last year hamhuis and bieksa were good at it amd it created a lot of scramble in front of the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
