While most would complain about Getzlaf picking on a rookie, he stands up for himself and pushes back not taking crap. He will be a good playoff player. Seemed to me Getzlaf held back.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 If we were last in the league, maybe. Also take in account, Canucks finished with 101 points last season, under Willie in his first NHL season as a rookie coach. Canucks aren't expected to make the playoffs this year. If they do, that's a bonus. I would evaluate after April, every team goes through these phases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenman92 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Let's hope the Vancouver media doesn't pull a "Canucks Vet" and chicken out...ask Willie what this says about the Vets in the room when a 19-year-old kid is the only one willing to take on a guy with 50ish pounds on him?

Swedish elite3 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Team needs better motivation that's for sure not sure where it comes from but needs to happen.. no coach firing yet. Need our tough guys to spark the play and scorers to attempt to shoot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever case, McCann isn't going to be a guy that complains to the refs or looks to someone else to defend him. He will take care of it himself.

At least McCann had some balls. What were our vets doing the whole game? It was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, except that next time McCann does that he catches a serious beatdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks-12 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wayyy too early! Wait until we get 1st overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam126 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Also, the fact that McCann had to stand up to Getz after hitting Virt was sad. Not for Canner, but for the leaders and vets. I was pretty disgusted myself but I was happy Canner has spirit in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucklehead91 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think the most painful thing about this loss was the ammount of holding the stick calls Anaheim never got called for. Grabs Barts stick and WE get a penalty, how many effing times did they reach out and close the hand on the stick, seriously?!?! I turned the game off part way through the third just because of that crap, not because we were losing, but how painful it is to watch them constantly grabbing sticks and holding them for quite some time with no call.

I hope they get an earful about their 'non response' to the cheap shots etc and also hear some of the media comments, maybe then they will come out with a response tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to watch the game, but sounded like: - Willie's run the bag off Miller again, Markstrom should have started - Pedan should have played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 2 minutes ago, slickjim23 said: Yes. Lucic is a meathead who teams will be able to rattle easily and draw 5 minute majors from. They will love playing us even more. People who think just Lucic will change the team into a tougher team are out to lunch... The whole mentality of the team needs to change... The Canucks have played tough in the past... You can notice even the Sedins play tough when the rest of the team is.. It's all mental. We don't need giants on skates to intimidate.. All we need is pushback, and that comes from the team having confidence, which it simply doesn't right now. Nice in theory, but "confidence" isnt going to stop a guys like Getzlaf, Kesler and co from cheap shotting your rookies. Push back from guys like Weber, Hamhuis, Bartkowsi and Tanev doenst do squat against teams that will rag doll them. Lucic may not be the answer, but i would love for them to have a couple more players that are a little more like Lucic. Its like a nuclear deterrent. Also, that meathead Lucic was a core player on a team that won the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 6 minutes ago, MJDDawg said: I wanted it to work but both McCann and Virtanen should go back to junior this year and play in the world championships. Virtanen needs to play 20 minutes a game and in the Worlds. Jared has no problem with compete but also needs to play 20 minutes a game and build up his strength. Jared especially isn't going to survive the season physically the way it's going. McCann has been great, theres zero chance he goes down as our C depth is bad and this management will refuse to give up on the season. Keeping Virtanen however , is a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
