Noseforthenet Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It was addressed by Garry Valk in the post game and I, amongst other fans, was saying it all of last season. Both Edler and Garrison need to be on the same powerplay. Those 2 big shots need to be respected and nobody really gave a damn all season! When you have those big shots on the powerplay, it opens up more room for the Sedins down low, so they aren't (to quote Burkie) picking their teeth out of the glass every night! I expect a vastly improved powerplay this season. No more of this "I need a right handed shot on the powerplay to construct a strategy" bs. Maybe Yannik Weber is going to help the situation as well. I don't know. If he can rush the puck up ice well enough, he will earn the powerplay time. I would like to see the Sedins being a threat off the rush again. Good skating on the back end, along with good passing, will do that! Either way, psyched about this. Worried a lil about the bottom 6, but I expect that will unfold as the season continues.

The Brahma Bull Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 AV and co. were completely oblivious last season. It was like they were actively doing things to prevent us from succeeding. Almost never using Garrison on the first pp unit drove me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jejejester Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Part of the reason we needed a right handed D was because Brown only let the power play set up on the right side. I swear they were told if they used the left side of the ice they would have to bag skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpanther Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Agreed that having the big shots out there changes the dynamic of our pp. Let it bomb boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THERETOOL Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I could not believe how lame that pp was last year .. how non sensical it was not to play garrison on the point for that long .. good riddance alain , and mike brown ..I think half this board could have figured that out ..

jejejester Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 and you are dissing a coach who won us two Presidnt's Cups..so...he must have been doing something right...give your head a shake...disagree if you will to his methods , but success was not an issue. Torts has two President's cups to catch up to here in Vancouver and a whole season ahead to prove he is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Garrison wasn't comfortable yet to start the year and it made sense at that point to let him focus on his 5 on 5 play. Once he got more settled he should have been put back on, but then that was primarily Newell Brown's decision and it's currently Glen Gulutzan's decision for what happens on the PP.

mcgillnuck Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The two President's Cups were the result of having a solid team assembled for him more than any game planning or tactics AV used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
