Zerox Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Team has all the offensive weapons, and Willie still won't use them properly?? What's the point of having the kids up then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 If we got a point every time Bartkowski scores a goal this season, I'd be pretty happy. We'd get one point. If we got a point every time Bartkowski scores a goal this season, I'd be pretty happy. We'd get one point. judging by Bartkowskis goal output... it could take a long time for another.

BananaMash Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The coaching through the first handful of games this season has been somewhat worrisome, even in the games we've won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksfor2012 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 While I agree with those saying that the young guys need more ice time, I think we should give Willie benefit of the doubt about the line juggling for at least another 5-6 games. Probably looking for a consistent secondary scoring line, and I'm okay with him tinkering a bit in the first 10 games before they settle into a more concrete lineup. The Baertschi-Horvat-Virtanen line had some good chances, but also made a couple mistakes here and there. Willie needs to be won over, but that'll take a couple very good games defensively. Horvat is a known quantity on defense but Baertschi and Virtanen have to play the way Willie wants them to on defense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Bo is definitely flirting with the dreaded sophmore slump Nah, his confidence is hurting because WD puts Prust and Dorsett on his LW for consecutive games, meaning there's no offensive opportunity and he goes -3 in a 4-3 loss against St.Louis...then he puts him with two skilled players and only gives them 10 minutes together.

BanTSN Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's too bad we didn't get 2 points, but the Oilers are a real good team. Thought the kids played well aside from getting on the scoresheet. Solid effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Even though Travis Green looks like a damn good option, and who better to get Baer going, I don't think Benning will fire WD before having a serious conversation with him about playing youth if they earn it. I see that happening sooner than later if games like this keep and St.Louis keep happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winthecup Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Law of averages strikes. Miller had not lost a game to the Oil in 12 starts. Longest live streak in the league Romanuk kept on repeating this and it jinxed the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can role 4 lines or a practice, not everyone can mold a good roster and get young players confidence up and their offense rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it happening, I'm just saying something has to progress outta that situation. Plus, the Canucks are really 2nd in the division considering SJ has more wins and a game on hand.

WHL rocks Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 NFL day for me so missed the game but after reading cpl pages in this thread looks like WD got out coached again. Not surprised. What was it Willie said, this not being a try league.....yeah that usually applies to the coach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
