Joker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 4 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Have you seen their roster? We have two top scorers on our team still and goalie who has been playing well enough to get us wins. This team has pretty much failed to develop secondary scoring all season. We're team Sedins right now. Actually Reimer has a better GAA and SV% than Miller. I know the Canucks' secondary scoring is fictitious, but with guys like Hamhuis, Edler, Burrows eating cap space, there's only so much you can do. I mean, 14M in 3 players is a good way to be at the cap roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game he is able to take the puck from our own end and lead the rush into the opposing teams end. I know right? And I thought Sbisa played pretty well tonight all things considered. Weber is a train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Sedins are regressing.....in age. Miller played well. Baertschi needs to be sent to Utica and then hopefully included in a trade so that Benning can recoup his pick. He's wasting a roster spot. Shinkaruk or Grenier would be a far better option. Sven isn't showing that he belongs. Time to cut losses on a player with skill but no gumption. Defense needs an overhaul. Badly. Sbisa is showing some growth recently and shouldn't have been penalized for that hit on Spezza. The officials are showing how bush league they truly are.

Come on, give some credit where it's due. They obviously did score when they needed it...in order to tie it up. No - we lost twice to them now - they came back and beat us - we came back and lost. Only credit goes to Miller for keeping us in it. 1 for 7 on the PP? Unacceptable. Too many men in OT? Unacceptable. That was a penalty - anyone who say otherwise has been drinking too much or off their rocker. Shoot out - ZERO goals. Unacceptable. Should have gotten at least 1. Need I remind you of SCF 2011 game 7? ZERO goals. How about last year VS the Flamez? No way we should have lost to them - but we did - why? Because we can't score when we really need it. Been that way for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Just now, TheAce said: im surprised Bartkowski gets so much hate on these boards. Hes probably been our best puck moving D-man . Every game he is able to take the puck from our own end and lead the rush into the opposing teams end. The rushes die at the blue line nearly every time. He either loses the puck or is forced to button hook. if we have a pmd the coaches should be responsible for creating zone entry plays to utilize that dman. it doesn't seem like we know how to incorporate a pmd in our attack.

Having said that, if the refs had called the 3 Stars infractions that took place before that penalty, it may never have gotten to that point. The Stars were getting away with murder out there in OT. Still, 3/4 pts to begin the road trip. I'll take it! I think people are generalizing a little bit. its great we came back and tied the game. Overall, in this game, we kept pace. But that does not ignore our issues with the powerplay. As for OT, that penalty took opportunities we could've used. As far as shootout, it's not the big issue for me. There are other glaring issues that are bigger than the shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding! I almost crapped myself. it was 3 on 3 with only one guy paying attention to Edler and he shot it right at him. What an offensive juggernaut he is. Then he passes it right up the slot in OT while we are a man short and we spend over a minute defending. I thought Tanev and Hammer played well tonight. Bart and Sbisa were okay. Edler was careless and Weber was brutal...again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Lord Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 People who say Higgins is a bad shootout choice haven't been fans for long or have a terrible memory. Or they've been influenced by the mob mentality of Canucks Talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickjim23 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The Sedins are just amazing.... Can't say the same for the rest of the team but at least they actually got it to OT in Dallas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAY JAY Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Canucks deserved better than a shootout loss. Brutal PP. I like Higgins, but the shootout - why not McCann? Next game we win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Torts said he wanted more blocked shots, did Edler think he meant for the other team? If you can find video of old vancouver games, you'll see that he has always been like this. Ive never seen a D-man either miss the net or blast it directly into the shin pads like Edler does. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam126 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 3 out of 4 points in 2 games against 2 Central Division teams in their barn is pretty good. And we're not getting utterly destroyed by Dallas anymore. Though this team has no depth scoring at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie needs to find a way to squeeze offense out of the other lines. If it means mixing them up again, so be it. Right now it's not working. We have one line most nights, two at the most.

Trebreh Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Daniels sucks in shootouts BUT he's been on fire lately, why not try him instead of Higgins? Burrows doesn't do his back hand deke any more for whatever reason. Vrbata just feathered one onto Niemi's pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Weber would be a great powerplay QB in the KHL. He is so bad, yet WD keeps putting him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
