They didn't name names. They did say the young guys need to show up every game. It's their job and they need to take it seriously.

This is why you need leadership like the Sedins bring.  This is why it's a bad idea to dump all the vets and start from nothing.  It's their job to rein in the young guys when they get too cocky and full of themselves.  Young guys with talent do that all the time.

Pedan just defending his team and management for punting McCanncer.

 

I think this is a little over the top.  McCann is 19 and a work in progress.

 

We've spoken about McCann.  He takes himself very seriously, and is critical of himself.  He also has a high opinion of himself.  If he was distant to Pedan so what?  There's no rule that says you have to be buddies with everybody all the time.  Pedan played what?  13 games....he was hardly in Vancouver.  Maybe McCann felt it was other peoples jobs (veterans) to make Pedan feel welcome.

 

If McCann was a bit self absorbed it doesn't make him a bad person.  He struggled and he was trying to make a place for himself in the line up.  He needed sheltering at this level but he probably should have been learning how to be a leader in Junior.  They took a chance on him and in the first 20 games, he certainly looked like he was up to the task. 

 

They didn't blow it with him, Benning just got an offer he couldn't refuse.  Top 4 D are hard to come by.

All you had to do was watch last years WJC to see a lot of press and fans pumping hot air up those kids behinds. Sad to

see actually. They can all 'talk the talk' but have no real world NHL experience. The ugly reality is that many young players do not make it and it is not always about their skills.

Good point. Theyre all groomed from an early age watching CBC interviews on what to say, or what they think they should say. Then they have to hit the ice. 

Many fans have each and every player drafted making the club then freak when they don't or when they are traded.

How i would like to Canuck Prospects brought up and integrated into our CLUB


I THINK WE NEED A TEAM WITH MORE DISCIPLINE.....

ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR ROOKIES> MORE DISCIPLINE.  MORE WINS !!

 

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED !!!

 

 

Every  Canuck rookie belongs to a stable, which is where they live while they are young. A stable is managed by a stable master, a retired NHL Canuck who was a good hockey player in his prime. RON DELORME  / SNEPSTS   ETC     The stable master is referred to as oyakata (boss), and his wife, who is called okamisan, plays an important supporting role behind the scenes SO  OUR CANUCK DRAFTS CAN learn the right way........

 

Canuck Rookies  begin receiving a salary when they become a sekitori at the rank of juryo or higher, and they also get to wear a keshomawashi, a lavishly embroidered apron-like cloth that comes down to their ankles, when they are introduced before the beginning of a the NHL Preseason Training Camp . This  cloth is attached to their canuck practise jersie.   


We need proper training  EG    One  exercise is called teppo.  Forwards  push their hands forward along with their hip and leg of the same side, alternating between left and right.Teppo teaches them the basics of moving their feet and hands as they try to topple an opponent.  Make our rookies more effective on board battles. 

 

Another exercise involves planting their backside on the ground while they have their knees extended, opening their legs 180 degrees, and leaning forward until their chest touches the ground.Matawari, as this is called, is used to develop flexibility in the lower body, which is important for a all skaters but especially D men. 

 

Next, our players will  engage in what is known as moshiai, in which the winner of a practice match continues to take new challengers, and they also practicebutsukari-geiko, in which the Canuck D men  take turns throwing their bodies into each other.

I think Pedan and Tryamkin will really like this new drill - Hank and Danny - not so much. 

 

The Older Canuck Vets ( and any player  with a NTC or NMC )   are allowed to sleep a bit later, and they join in the training after they get up. They do much the same training as the younger Canuck Rookies , and they help them as well. Talking with each other is of course not allowed during practice sessions, and the most common sounds that can be heard are those of these  Canuck D men  throwing their bodies into each other and taking heavy breaths. Practices get more intense as a the NHL season approaches, and the stable master watches from in front of the practice arena at centre ice, occasionally skating over  to give instructions to his charges.

 

At 8:00 am, the young Canuck Rookies  go to the kitchen to help prepare chanko. Chankorefers to the food eaten by the Canuck Veterans  and it includes stews, Chinese food, sashimi, and deep-fried food. Stews are the most common dishes, but foods enjoyed by younger people have been included in recent years, such as rice with curry and hamburger steaks. Canuck players eat two meals a day, having breakfast at around 11:00 am and dinner at about 6:00 pm. On ice Practice ends at around 10:30 when the younger rookies have finished preparing the chanko, and the older Canuck VETS  then take a bath, with the higher-ranked ones going first. They eat breakfast after fixing their hair in a topknot that fits under a hockey helmut . And of course when they eat, the higher-ranked / older / TOP 6  forwards - TOP 4 D men  players go first again. Once the morning meal is over, the players have free time. Many of them take naps to help them get bigger.

 

If we as a club can adopt these new TRAINING techniques. I think the add descipline could make us cup Contenders sooner than later........  People are worried about the kids  / Virt  etc....   Well this would be great for our new rookies to get them up to NHL strength.
