VancouverishCanucker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Just because Daniel Sedin has missed a wide open net goal having the puck go above the Crossbar by accident in the 3rd Period when of course we could have won our game in regulation 2-1, certainly does NOT mean I will be booing him nor his brother for our loss in the 5-minute of 3-on-3 overtime period at all. They just have to instead be playing harder, thinking smarter and should be having better luck the next time they see a wide open net chance right in front of them in regulation or skate faster, pass the puck a lot quicker to each other and shoot the puck right at the net very quickly to win the game whenever they play in the 5-Minute 3-on-3 Overtime Period again! I don't really know about any of you but I am giving them credit for the great chances that they have had and I would be telling them they have been working very hard up to their best they have most certainly played tonight and in my opinion losing in overtime is way better than losing in regulation in Regular Season! I would like our team to get at least 1 or 2 points throughout most of our 82 games in the regular season and then our team maybe turning out to be a very tough one! And now I would like to say: We have had a successful game for avoiding a loss ending in regulation even though we may not have been playing at our very best to win it all in the 3-on-3 Overtime Period! Now have Greater Luck Canucks players and start to take us on another Game Point-Streak that all begins Thursday night!!! Go Canucks Go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCK-EXPRESS Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 WD has been changing the lines a lot.. Maybe he and the other coaches should focus on the PP. It's like 1-21 or something that's ???? brutal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The puck has to start going in soon for Vrbata he's not playing poorly just can't find his shot yet this year. It's inevitable he will though he's a pro. Yeah, I want to be there for his bounce back. Stats-wise and by the eye test, he's the definition of snake bit right now. That was the worst open-net miss I've ever seen. Then Daniel put the cherry on top by misplaying the 2-on-1 horribly. Rushing the puck carrier that far out? Just cover the pass! ...ridiculous... I've seen players miss qualityyyer shots in higher pressure situations, but that puck looked like it was waiting for a reason to slide in. I'm honestly 100% comfortable with the one point. It just felt like such a bad omen. When they spent the last ~4 minutes fighting to get out of their zone, I was sure Daniel would deflect it in on Miller in a similar freak one of a kind play.

Frazzy Desjardins Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Lmfao! This thread is hilarious. But i agree with comments against Willie. Idk what he's doing. He's too scared to try changing things up. What????? All he's been doing is changing things up. He needs to stick with something or go with something that has worked in the past and then let the rest of the pieces fall into place. Like putting Vrbata with the Sedins...

soshified Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The first time I remember the Sedins going 3-on-3 was a few years back when there was an off-setting minor against the Ducks. It was Henrik, Daniel and Bieksa.... going against Scott Neidermayer and 2 others I can't remember. 3 guys skating on quicksand against one of the smoothest defenseman in our era..... the Scott scored the game winner. At that moment, everyone was commenting how you can't put the Sedins on for 3v3 since there's so much more room and you need speed. Not sure why Willie D can't figure that out. How come you didn't say this for the last OT's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshified Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We shouldn't be worrying about how Sedins. We should be worry about WD's lines and playing minutes decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We shouldn't be worrying about how Sedins. We should be worry about WD's lines and playing minutes decisions. I have no problem with him experimenting during the first +\- 10 games of the season. Not if, but when, we run into injury problems we will have players familiar with other linemates. You also must understand how much turnover we had this offseason. Fine tune things now, not in April. We are 3-1-2. I don't understand what the problem is, I thought we have been playing a decent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I can see us going the whole season icing the same stagnant power play. Which ???? sucks. It'll be worse once Higgins is back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpluto96 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 man it felt like eating a fly watching the missed chances again and again. as much as i love the grit of our fourth line, expecting cracknall to be the scorer on a consistent basis is nuts. you can't play the fourth line this much when you are looking for offense against an oilers' defense that is obviously flawed. frustrating as hell.

Hairy Kneel Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Our PP has been bad for YEARS now...C'mon give other guys a chance to NOT score. WD>>'Hmmm..lets go Sedins with Edler...forever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since 82 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Good one daniel smh 99 times out of 100 that one goes in for Daniel so I wouldn't be too hard on him. Might not have been their best game, but everyone's allow to lay an egg every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfstonker Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 What?????All he's been doing is changing things up. He needs to stick with something or go with something that has worked in the past and then let the rest of the pieces fall into place.Like putting Vrbata with the Sedins...He's right to be changing things now. Better now when all the teams are settling in (and we are sitting 4? in the league) than waiting too long and finding we are playing teams set up for us while we are still trying to get our lines right. There are a lot of new faces in this team and 3/4 of them are rookies, it's only natural for Willie and the coaches to try and build up a record of where they fit in best, what line and with who, if at all.

DollarAndADream Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Kind of odd, the scheduling right at the beginning of the year. We've already had a 3 day break and two 2 day breaks. Now we're currently on a 3 day break, with another 2 day break after Saturday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Kind of odd, the scheduling right at the beginning of the year. We've already had a 3 day break and two 2 day breaks. Now we're currently on a 3 day break, with another 2 day break after Saturday's game.Which means we pay for it later on ... like, 14 games in 30 days in November with 2 back to backs. 10 of them on the road!

VancouverishCanucker Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 3-1-2 an excellent start for this groupI agree with you and I'm NOT blaming any of our players for not winning us the game with a wide open net in the 3rd Period.They have done the best they ever could and that is great they have been giving us a single point!!!
