viking mama Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 So it didn't entertain you at All? When was the last time our fans stayed to applaud a losing effort? Game 7 of the finals? Did I say I wasn't entertained? I said they pushed-back to make a difference to their GF/GA differential....& in some instances, that does mean something... right?. Am I expected to make every comment a fan-girling love-letter to this team & their efforts. No guarantees. They were lucky that the Blues didn't cash-in a lot more often on some of those other gimmes - to keep it interesting, too. Miller was ordinary instead of extra-ordinary, tonight, Their chances just cant be so wasted,...and the defensive gaffs need to disappear. Verby is a vet who knows how he excells best....& Willie keeps telling him to talk to the hand. It aint picture perfect yet. They have work to do. On their PP especially - and they should try and make Verby just a little bit happier There - I added to my earlier comments. Happy now Zebra?

aliboy Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 WD, please put McCann with Vrbata, just give it a try. Burrows-McCann-Vrbata Then play Horvat with Virtanen. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown33429 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Canucks didn't have the urgency in the beginning of the game that they showed on the road, but they made it an interesting end to the game. Edit: Virtanen is getting in some pretty good hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffy09 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 the big story here is the PP. Its brutal. Get a couple Dman that can hammer the puck back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hutton and Sbisa were studs ... Hammer and Barts swung between mediocre and awful.... Edler and Tanev stunk out the joint. That's wnat I saw anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Canucks need to shore up that 2nd line and a tough as nails dman. McCann stays but virt goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Good effort tonight. Lots of missed opportunities but that's how it goes sometimes. Chris Lee proving once again that he's one of the worst in the business. Phanton high stick on Burrows, "unsportsmanlike" on Sbisa for getting in the face of that cheapshot artist Backes - big deal - cheap call and the usual cheap performance out of Lee - guy belongs in the Federal League.

wai_lai416 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 didn't like the lineup much tonight.. first period was a dog.. 2nd period not much better.. i don't understand why Vrbata isn't playing with the Sedin to try to jump start him.. it's obvious him and Horvat doesn't have much chemistry.. i mean Willie D rather put hansen on the first line then Vrbata.. i woulda stick Vrbata up there on the first with the Sedins.. let the kids play together as a 2nd/3rd line and have Sutter center Hansen and Burrows.. skill line/Speedster young line/ gritty 2 way line/grind line but oh well on to the next game... one thing i noticed about Virtanen.. he floats back to the defensive zone =\ on one play he turned over the pick.. glided behind hamhuis who's chasing.. and then for whatever reason poked him with the stick tripping him =\ give up the puck gotta hassle back kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jejejester Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I still cannot believe how good of a player Horvat is. He's being over shadowed by the hype for the new rookies but he's been even better than last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Fever Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 They should have played them better considering Blues played last night and Nucks were well rested. The defence was way off tonight, really weird considering how well they've played lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainKool Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 We need to be better on the PP. It is not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stierlitz Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff 1h1 hour ago No shots on goal for Vrbata tonight. Wasn't sharp at all. #Canucks have to find the right spot for him. Soon. 0 pts so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I still cannot believe how good of a player Horvat is. He's being over shadowed by the hype for the new rookies but he's been even better than last year with how strong he is on the puck at times, he's like a jaromir jagr-type player. he's only going to get better too! o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 with how strong he is on the puck at times, he's like a jaromir jagr-type player. he's only going to get better too! o: That's high praise indeed. I'd say more like a Shane Doan type, which is also high praise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sharp at all. #Canucks have to find the right spot for him. Soon. 0 pts so far. Not too sure where Paterson gets his recaps from, or if he was just keeping track. The boxscore stats has Vrbata with a shot on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sharp at all. #Canucks have to find the right spot for him. Soon. 0 pts so far.It's not up to the Nucks to find a spot for him. He has had PP time and lots of set ups. HIs drought is of his own making. He is floating and playing like he did in the playoffs...soft and timid. All he wants to do is hang around the perimeter and get pucks fed to him. Not impressed with his game at all this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swizzey Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Vrbata = Lost Bartkowski = Turnovers Galore, bad decisions Horvat = Off game Hutton = Best defender Sbisa = Same Old... Sedins = Rough Game Edler = Terrible Game McCann = Caused a goal, got a beauty Virtanen = Solid Game Lots of negatives and some positives. Still a bright start and a good season ahead of us. Just a short summary of some notable bads and goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
