Let me guess ESL? No he was quite literally crushed by Lucic's mass. Anyway, I still like CDC, but these mico-arguments on inconsequential labeling of old events are quite boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great defensively and his speed makes him an offensive threat as well. I can handle him staying and mentoring... but at the same time i don't want to do a Higgins with him. Keep him until he has no value. That is strategy that has put us in the hole we are in. I guess the real secret is to be able to know when a player is about to decline. Trade his just before... I don't disagree with the statement but the drafting record from the early Gillis regime is what caused most of this. The Canucks have had no choice but to hold onto the Higgins of the world until all value was used because there wasn't anyone to push him out of a roster spot until now. For example, if Jensen had have panned out, Benning could have traded Higgins last year (assuming a NTC waive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken70 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The reason they couldn't score in 2011 is because they had no answer for Boston's physical onslaught. They were bullied and intimidated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like where this team is going with the youth movement. Our future is bright. By the way, I love your username. Genius. Gotta work the other kids names in there too tho. McHortboesanenbaeruk Yeah i meant to make it "McHortanon" instead of "McHortanen" it would have referenced: McCann Horvat Virtanen Hutton But because i made it "en" Hutton was left out Still love you Ben!!!

luckylager Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Let's see, our defense doesn't really pose an offensive threat or jump up in the rush all that often to create a bit of havoc. Other than the twins, we're a bunch of oldish grinders that shouldn't be expected to notch points and kids who are still figuring out the NHL, and then there's Vrb who's just been playing like smelly ass this year. I've got it : MAKE THE NETS BIGGER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got it : MAKE THE NETS BIGGER!! Scoring is down league wide so and it's a year-on-year trend so something will be done, eventually. Or every game will end in a 0-0 shootout. Gretzky had an idea to tilt the nets so a shot that hits the crossbar will deflect into the net, not away from it. Not to shabby an idea. I wouldn't mind reducing the goalie pads since by 1-2" in each direction. More like Kelly Hrudey style: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pads should also be reduced in size. We hit a good number of posts/crossbars last night, 4 I think... The problem, none of these options give the Canucks an advantage to score more than our opponents, and that's the real problem in Canuckland right now, scoring more than the opposition. The D needs to be a part of our O, once they start contributing and actually being recognized as a threat, it creates space for the forwards. So... we need an offensively minded PMD...

ButcherG Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We have lots of fast, on the rush, goal scorers. Just no one other than Henrik and Daniel know how to pass the puck. We need a smart, puck distributing center. We also need a big, good skating defenceman with a shot, who is not afraid to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great distributors can be wingers too. Baer is looking good at that. McCann is excellent. Our first priority is on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 True PMD would help out a fair bit. I have been wondering how the sedins would do with someone like Okposo. Hansen had decent chemistry with Horvat already before 2 x Sedin - Okposo Baertschi - Horvat - Hansen Dare to dream? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 How could the Canucks improve goal scoring? Get the puck past the opposing teams goaltender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Improve goal scoring? a simple example is to sign one. Bure . Is an example of that type of acquisition. Stamkos . Is an example to compare to that in this era. Dare to win? Or Dare to be Frugal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole league will be going after him so I'm sure that whoever gets him will greatly overpay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
