kingofsurrey Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 3 worst Canucks this year with Plus Minus P. Larsen MInus 9 H. Sedin Minus 6 D. Sedin Minus 5 Do you think this is in any way linked to our dismal season we are having ? Is Philip Larsen NHL or AHL calibre ? Can the canucks achieve success if Hank and Danny end the season at the MINUS 40 Level ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It is hard to improve your +/- when you are barely scoring any goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I can think of 2 bigger issues which may be linked 1) This team can't score 2) The power play is just dreadful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could allowing more goals than they are scoring be linked to our dismal season? Yes of course.. unless they are scoring handfuls of PP goals, Sedins in the minus means we are losing games. I think Larsen is NHL calibre but needs to play sheltered minutes on a team with a solid top 4. He could probably be quite effective if added to a PP unit that is actually working but could use a different point man. Not the way our PP or secondary looks. -40 would mean that our top line is essentially putting our team down 1-0 in 40/82 games.. so no definitely not unless they offset that with a PP goal every second game or we get a lot more secondary scoring.

Beeekz37 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Can't expect your goalies to win every game. We have a couple of really good ones, but they can't do it all themselves. It was nice to see so many shots out of the canucks tonight. It's too bad they couldn't bury any of them in the back of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekey Pete Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Not surprising. Watching Daniel cover defense for Hutton when he jumped in, that was hard to watch. Not sure how our defense is supposed to feel comfortable jumping up into the play when our forwards can't cover the position for one rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 And 5 games ago we were first (or close to first) in the league. Do you quickly judge this fast on everything else in life too kingofsurrey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMelvin Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 LOL Thats about right...this team is horrible.

Googlie Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 and the only PLUS player?? Jake. I guess every cloud has a silver lining - fewest minutes on a losing team = best +/- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Good lord. The Sedins +/- is about having lots of ice time, but not scoring yet. To think they will end the season at -40, makes as much sense as asking what if Loui and Sven go all 82 game with no goals. But yeah, if the Sedins both finish the season at -40, it will be unlikely the season will be a success. Brilliant point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomorick Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Sedins skating speed has really taken a hit. They have always been slower than average, but made up for it with skill and talent. The skill and talent is still there, but the game is way faster now and they have slowed down. Don't believe me? Watch them play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
