supperman2k Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 With Schneider being picked, i feel that AV is making decisions based on stats and not on gut feelings like he did last year. He was questioned last year in the playoff's and now he's relying on numbers to do the forecasting of the next game(s). To rely on a gut feeling or a hunch would open him up to scrutiny for sure, From what I understand, stat's don't lie. Some underlying issues regarding goal scoring and point producing should be resolved if Daniel is healthy. Giving the 3rd line (one of our most consistent lines of the year) the ability to play a big game. They have proven to be clutch in close games, even when Hodgson was here. Not as much pressure on them, they usually play against the 3rd line, and get goals from the tough parts of the ice. GO CANUCKS GO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If he's going on stats then Burrows should be playing with the Sedins instead of Booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I agree with you but remember when Sutter was like how they are preparing against a sedin-sedin-burrows lineup at the beginning of the series. Considering how well they did their homework against every other aspect of our game, this may be the right move. I am not a big fan of booth but I kinda understand this move. Remember this line usually gets shut down against stingy, defensive, hard fighting teams. Booth hasnt really played much with the Sedins. Sedins are great players and if he is able to create space for them, we might get to see some Sedinary tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Chances are Burrows will finish the game with the Twins. Or maybe Kesler is added to the line in a last ditch attempt to get scoring mid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucksgyal Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Ya well Booth kinda reminds me of Bure, fast and dangles and likes to take it all himself, and I always said Bure would never be a good fit for the Sedins because the Sedins wouldn't be able to touch the puck if Bure had control, and I see the same with Booth.

menace Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I think it is absurd to start Booth with the twins but what the "F" at this point. Throw the kitchen sink at them and throw them for a loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supperman2k Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Booth is on the top line? AV said there were no changes in the line up unless d. sedin comes back and he will slide in on the top line. http://video.canucks.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=6&id=173296 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Singh Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Luongo should start. His "gut" feeling didn't let him down in game 7 vs Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
