*Buzzsaw* Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 In my opinion the coach did the wrong thing in putting Vrbata with the 2nd line to get it started... he isn't the guy who is going to do that. Burrows has been the guy who has sparked the lines he's been put with... he should have been the player to go back to the 2nd line. Overall the same problem remains with the Canucks... we need better defense. Miller can't do it every night, and the giveaways were crippling. Hopefully Hamhuis is back soon, he plays well out of the gate and we get some stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think its up to the second line to get the second line going. Not Vrbata to come in and spoon feed them opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think it's visible the Sedins enjoy playing with him more. With Vrbata they lack the creative plays that come naturally with Burrows. It'd be a mistake to put him back on the second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Burrows belongs on the 4th line, he is not the spark. Go with Kassian, if he doesn't work out than go back to Vrbata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a mistake to put him back on the second line. The last few PPs the Sedins completely ignored Vrby..they were to busy passing the puck to eack other with Vrbatta wide open.

asian player Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Burrows works on any line. It's not about him, it's about finding chemistry with different lines. Even if he's the odd man out, he'll still do fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like to see him getting his career shortened in the tough areas while those two fiddle around on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The last few PPs the Sedins completely ignored Vrby..they were to busy passing the puck to eack other with Vrbatta wide open. That's kind of what I was implying. They look him off because they've come to learn he doesn't think the same way as him. As soon as Burr hit their line the mid ice tip in play activated, the one two shuffle with Burr being pinned by two players against the boards between the benches creating space on the far side of the ice for the puck to be carried in. Ignoring the PP the Sedins (although noticeably slower, attributed to aging) actually created some damn good chances tonight and were battling on the boards. Call me crazy but I swear they don't try as hard when Vrbata is in their line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Burrows is best suited on either the 1st line or the 4th line. That's where he has been known to be at his best at and we should keep him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Vrbata is not the man and the coach is having problems recognising that.Defense is the real problem.Burr is the man.Vrbata has been the man with three game winners while hovering around the NHL top ten in goals scored.The coaching staff and GM are being creative trying to get another line scoring.There has not been a lot of offense lately from any line not manned by a Vrbata/Sedin.Defense is not a problem but their lack of offensive output is.Overall offensive production is a problem.That is why Vrbata is on the second line.

Sure, he might not be scoring like past years, but he's the only player who does the job, every night, and ignites the lines he's playing in.

Canada Hockey Place Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 IDK. I think the ice time indicates Vrbata was not 100% against FLA. And the game plan seemed to be to get Burrows in front of Luongo. It worked on the 1st goal. I don't mind Burrows on the 1st line sometimes. He the best candidate as net presence ATM. I think Vrbata is the best scorer on the team so it make sense to try him with Bonino. --------------- But why not reward Horvat? Also I don't mind Vey but I don't get all the rope he's given. Jensen should be given the same chance on RW. DeFazio on LW. And I like Dorsett but why is he on the PP? Benning and Desjardins puzzle me. They seem to way too focused on willing the people they brought in to succeed instead of what's best for the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRedYellow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Burrows-Bonino-Vrbata I'd really like to see these two lines I think it doesn't matter that much who plays with the twins, so why not try to jump start Kass by putting him 5-6 games with them? (That line will probably provide some goals anyway, no matter of who plays the third role.) And the second one sounds very intriguing!! Burr for the speed and drive, Bones for the playmaking and Vrbata for the shots. Let's give Willy a call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think Vrbata was still feeling ill, that said the 2nd line was the worst of all last night of 4 bad lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
