vv2 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes I did, he made some terrible plays. Like always. There is a reason everyone calls him Casual Kev. He is as streaky as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohnoeszz Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We have a league leading defense and every one of our top 4 D sucks? It is painful to read here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't be so hard on Garrison. He just played his first real game as a Canuck. He's been figuring his way out up til now and all of a sudden we switched from a conservative offense to an all-out balls-out game. He wasn't ready for that and it showed. Not the end of the world.

BedBeats™2.0 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Ballard definitely deserves a shot at a bigger role. So does Tanev, honestly. I think these guys should be bumped to second pairing. Then, reunite Hamhuis - Bieksa as the second pairing, and they can play SHUT DOWN defense. Edler - Garrison can twiddle their thumbs on the third pairing and play forward to their heart's content while 3rd and 4th liners struggle to score on our forwards who consistently out-perform them defensively while they make crappy drop-passes and botched pinches.

wallstreetamigo Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You can't base everything on a small sample of a player. Raymond plays 3 good games, and sign him to a 4 million long term contract. It just doesn't make sense to have a bottom pair, making 4 Million. Ballard has been an offensive defense man throughout his career, but he said, himself, that he was noticing that he was making too many mistakes and need to focus on playing the game the right way.

BedBeats™2.0 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Stay at home defense have become extinct since 2007 since the game has changed to a faster pace. One dimensional defensive minded defense man are hard to find these days. Stop crying about everything, you're acting like a baby. It's just a game. Who cares. "This stupid, that's stupid" please. Give it a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I've said it all along - Edler was playing great, until the team kind of pushed him to become more offensive and tried to get him to have him replace Ehrhoff in terms of style and wanting him to put up the production. He's not a natural puck mover, none of the Canucks defense are. He hasn't been playing his game for a while now. Still, he's the Canucks most talented defense men. Team wants to utilize the D and have them be offensive, should have kept Ehrhoff. None of the current Canucks D can skate fast enough to be guys to carry it out. Therefore, they all look stupid defensively. Don't understand why they continue to do drop passes? because they don't know what else they can do. Ask the natural puck mover..oh wait. We don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We'll have to agree to disagree. Every time AV has given Ballard the opportunity to play an offensive role, Ballard gets destroyed defensively. Most notably, his first or was it his 2nd year in the playoffs when he got destroyed. It makes no sense to breakup Ballard and Tanev or move them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Doesn't make sense for me to continue talking to you until you get cleared up. Your too drunk or stupid to understand anything, just like every time the Canucks lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BedBeats™2.0 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Pretty safe to say that puck rushing d-men are more rare than the stay at home D. A pinching defensive player is nothing without a stay at home partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Pairings for next game: Ballard - Tanev Hamhuis - Edler Garrison - Barker Vintage brought up a great point, perhaps we should Scratch Bieksa so give him a wakeup call. His play has been laughable. At this point I would rate them: 1. Ballard 2. Tanev 3. Hamhuis 4. Edler 5. Garrison 6. Bieksa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You people all realize that we just won 6 games in a row prior to this loss, right? You also realize that we allowed a combined 6 goals in those 6 games, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
