Ojibwa72 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 In the Division we play the run and gun doesn't work. We need to be the defensive bangers and crashers to compete within the pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be the defensive bangers and crashers to compete within the pacific. Look at Chicago. They beat Boston, Anaheim and LA in the playoffs. Point is if you have enough speed you can overcome physical defensive teams. Like I said there is no better style; they are equally successful. Because there is no better style we should create the style that will be the most entertaining and make it properly. That way the owners don't have to worry about revenue and won't mind not making the playoffs. And we can rebuild properly instead of rushing it. In no way am saying we should tank but just do whatever it takes including trades and proper drafting to ensure the franchise is always in a healthy state. Cause based on our past history there only two things that sell in this market easily; a competitive team or a very entertaining up tempo team with a lot of speed. Why not try to build a team that has the potential to have both instead of one. That way the fans will stick even in the bad times, putting the team in a more healthier affair so they can always transact to the best of their ability and increase their chances of a cup.

GB5 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Other...... Hard to answer the question but I would like to see an adaptable well coached team capable of playing either style whereas the style can be adjusted based on the needs based on in-game management or over the course of a long playoff series.

Canada Hockey Place Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Other I guess. In general, more skill. Not necessarily faster. Not necessarily individual talent. But consistent. AND WITH MORE THAN 1 OPTION. If you break the game down to minutes/seconds, this team has the players who can kill that time. The defensive bar is high. At one point VAN had Luongo/Schneider, Hamhuis/Edler/Salo/Bieksa, Kelser/Malhotra taking key defensive minutes. And they still had breakdowns..... If you break down the offensive side, VAN relies too heavily on the Sedins and Edler to score. How many friggin' more times are they going to go with an injured top line player over a healthy one because they have to? But hey it's only been obvious since about 2006. I'm sure there's plenty of time left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to watch a 1-0 or 2-1 score line then I'll watch soccer. I would much rather win games 4-2 or 5-4 Counter argument, if you want to see that much scoring why don't you watch Basketball.

Its pretty hard to win anything when your point getters aren't healthy (as was case last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I always felt hitting wins games. I wouldn't be surprised if the team that outhits the other statistically has more wins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
