Me_ Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 In their absence, Prust and Sbisa have proven their worth. The Canucks sorely need them back. Hope they are not rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Prophet Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Always fun to see the kid line return! Hopefully they can show they play good together against the disjointed Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Glad to see that Willie appears to be sticking with Hansen and the twins. I think they should get a solid stretch of games together to see if they can work as a regular option. The numbers certainly suggest Hansen is a good fit (even if the "eye test" doesn't always agree).Interesting to see Hansen get some #1PP time. Again a case of the "eye test" maybe not suggesting Hansen is a good power play option, but his career numbers do suggest that he provides a net positive on-ice "effect" during 5v4 PP minutes, with the team scoring more goals with him on the PP unit, while being very tight against giving up shorties. Similar to even strength, Hansen doesn't always bank the PP points himself, but his teammates produce better when he's on-ice. This suggests that he's doing something right (to elevate the production of his team), even if it's not immediately obvious (like scoring goals himself).Whatever happens, I doubt the special teams could perform much worse than they have lately. Hopefully something clicks with these changes and they break out of their funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think Baertschi would work great with the Sedins mainly because his possession numbers are so good, but I'm guessing Willie D wants a right hand shot there.Pretty awesome how Hansen can play on any line and produce.

The Lock Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Pretty awesome how Hansen can play on any line and produce.I love how we have such a maneuverable lineup in general. So many forwards of ours can play on both wings or centre and both wings. It really creates a lot of possibilities for WD to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Crosby Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I really want to see Virtanen on the PP, just standing in front of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I really want to see Virtanen on the PP, just standing in front of the net. Instead of Big Buff we could have Big Virt! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakanucks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Any comments on any other changes to the PP besides having hansen on PP1??Like maybe take a certain Alexander off PP1 and have a certain Ben as replacement??Question: if Bartkowski can move the puck up ice really well....how come he doesn't get a look on PP2?

Honky Cat Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It seems that the 2nd and 3rd lines are constantly put in a blender...Having mostly rookies on a 2nd line is great...but will they see the ice..?....In fact,I'm not going to read too much into these practice lines because Sutter will most likely be back in tomorrow,and that changes everything yet again.Good to see that Prust could be back in the lineup..Were a better team with him on the 4th line (he had some good chemistry with McCann).
