TheTruthHurts Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Kesler is not much of an offensive threat and would be better suited ot a pure shutdown role on a third line. This team needs a 2nd line that can generate offence and Kesler isn't really that guy. Kesler also doesn't have a dedicated sniper like Hank does.

yes we can nucks Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Damn, yet another game we 'shoulda won' but blew in the third period! It's so frustrating! Going into the third, I was THINKING that 'sh' word. Later I was screaming that other 'sh' word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolwut? Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I love it when some people call others "haters" when they make valid and realistic comments/observations about the team but are tough to stomach.. So instead, let's throw the "hater" quip at these people so that its easier to get to bed at night. Wake up people. This team may make the playoffs this year and following years but they are descending into mediocrity I under MG's watch and if you can't see this and call it what it is then best bury your head deeper and get off the forums where you wish to call others haters for not drinking Canucks brand koolaid. I think all of us want to see this team do well.. Its just that some of us don't need a warm blanket to make us feel better after a loss or when its clear that the team as an organization is deteriorating. Its actually hard for me as a fan to see people who still try so hard to defend their degredation and call other people haters for not thinking everything is OK.. Get a friggin clue.

Ginu Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We broke so many bad records this season, whats another? But hmmm don't worry guys, were playing the Flames in the first round of the playoffs followed by the Oilers and it honestly doesn't matter who we play in the third round because the team overachieved anyhow.... In all honestly I didnt think we would lose to the Preds... lack of PP production is etrocious regardless of "how good" they look and lack of offence is also disguisting... these are things which haven't been addressed since the Boston series and it doesn't look like they will be fixed anytime soon; it feels we will see more sour times before we see anything sweet out of this team, but hope I'm wrong. 2 goals in 30 power plays is ugh... and we scored less goals(8) in 7 games than all the goals scored on us by the Ducks in one game... this team doesn't stand a chance vs any half decent team and dont believe we have any chances against Cup contender power house teams.

Sypher009 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I think you misunderstood my post. You can compare it with Chicago's defense, point production is an offensive stat. So compare Garrison vs Keiths shutdown abilities and whatnot. That is what I am talking about. And our defense have proven to be greater than St Louis as can be seen from the wins over them. So try again. lol from the 2 wins against them where we beat them by one goal? ok San Jose's defense is better than ours with that logic then I guess since we haven't beaten them once yet this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat St Louis they have significantly more offensive power than us. We won. Deduction. Defense is better. San Jose has significantly better offense then ours and as good defense. Deduction. Our defense as good but no offense to match San Jose. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you seriously think our defense is better than St Louis, the best defensive team in the entire league, then just lol Florida beat Pittsburght the other day, guess that means they're better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argue from logic. You argue from your ass. And the point was we have a championship calibre back end. Does not mean we have the only one. But again comprehension is hard for some people. Edit. The point is the Canucks have what it takes to go all the way when the scoring comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which my argument satisfactorily did. What does Florida beating Pittsburgh have anything to do with the Canucks quality of defence? You seem to be arguing against Canucks being the best team. That is not my point. MY point is the Canucks have the tools to challenge for a championship. But if you want to talk about the Pittsburgh point. That team is built off scorers not defence or goaltending as their loss to the Boston Bruins defence can attest to. So when a team like Florida is going to score on a team with extremely mediocre defence when their offence is not producing(as Crosby claimed that night) they are going to lose. You will claim defensive stats go ahead. But remember how much pressure it takes off the backend when your offence spends lots of time in their zone.

Tangelos Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 we're 14th in the league in man games lost to injury, why do people keep trying to use injuries as an excuse. This. People here seem to forget that EVERY team in the league deals with injuries. Over the course of a season it all evens itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 But this isn't black and white. Its a grey area because of who is injured. If you have a lot of 3rd 4th liners injured compared to your best players being injured. There is a huge difference. That makes sense except that with the exception of Hank and maybe Kes, this whole team is 3rd and 4th liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
