Coconuts Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Booth's looked pretty good so far, hopefully he can keep it going. We need goals, hopefully we can bury a few in the second. Gotta start capitalizing or we'll never pass LA in the divisional standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's a process Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sedins needs to get out of their fcking slump and score for once. Agreed. They need to start playing with some intensity. If we had even half of what the Sedins used to be right now, there'd be no trouble scoring goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ben Kuzma @benkuzma 1m We now return you to your regular-scheduled programming. Canucks en route to being 1-7-3 against California clubs, scoring just 15 goals Sedin line continue to struggle, not talking just offensively either. These guys are outshot most games in the last month - not sure I've seen them from that before. Ever. I suggest splitting them up for a bit, till Burr gets back. .

DeNiro Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Crybaby dot com in full flight already tonight. If you're happy about the way they're playing then you're delusional. This is the most frustrating team to watch game to game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakage.shinga Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've about had it with this cycle along the boards then pass to blueline. As long as we're kept to the perimeter the Sedins are no threat at all to anyone. We need north-south players that can rush the net. That should have been Booth, Kes, and Higgins, but alas, Booth is more interested in hunting animals than hunting for goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeyedak Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 totally .. we can't even create dangerous chances ... Take it one step further, I don't think its that we "can't", its more of a mindset of not taking risks with the puck in the offensive zone. A significant number of "dangerous" chances come in the slot from a relatively low-percentage pass. Case in point...Daniel drove the zone from the left side with about 8:00 left, and had a chance to drop pass/center...*if* someone is driving net from behind, it may have created such a chance...but, Daniel wouldn't do it...he took the puck below the goalline, then tried to spin and find a "high percentage" chance to create. But, they just aren't there in this league nowadays. In contrast, the Ducks (and the Kings are really good at this), just center the puck at will, "hoping" someone will be following the play from behind into the slot and be there for the chance. This is coaching. In particular, the Sedins neutralize themselves trying to make the A+++ pass right now instead of finding the open space, putting the puck there and hoping someone fills in from the point. Seen some hopeful signs that we're getting out of it. The first series after the 9 min PP at Staples we were doing this (and hit a post). Kesler has had two chances tonight moving toward the slot. But, we need more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 And the Ducks have a bad PP. 16%. Only one spot above us. That's what really hurts. Ours is just a waste of 2 minutes. Sedins haven't scored inJanuary and we have no other real offensive weapons. OUr 4th line is carrying more of the play than our top 3 lines. burrows may help a bit but this team does not have the firepower to beat the top teams and obviously can[t rely on a defensive shut down game either.
