Why is our fourth line on the ice with a minute to go when we're down by a goal? That was surprising... Gaunce had basically not played (only 5:35 on the night) but with less than 2min to go he gets a shift after sitting for close to 9min - off at 9:40 and back on at 18:10 in the 3rd. Megna/Chaput had been rotating on the 2nd line but Gaunce was barely playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has no consistency and more importantly no jam. We need to go back to some old school hockey. If Gerard Gallant was on the ice after that hit on Larsen he would have beaten Hall to a pulp. He can probably teach some of our guys those same principles. I have a feeling this road trip isn't gonna be pretty. No consistency is a sign of a young team. Surely that's not too hard to understand. We are not getting consistency of results but there is certainly consistency of hard effort or are you not seeing that in your 2 min highlight programmes?

Their shifts are so short you are likely not to even touch the puck on your shift. VERY unfair to expect any production out of them right now. And if you want to blame anyone, blame Willie, the same guy that preached rolling 4 lines. Well when he tries to give the 4th line more mins half the idiots on here start whining about less time for Sedins and Bo's line. There are only 60mins in a (reg) game as we all know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the tougher sob's at 190 pounds in the entire NHL in his playing days. There were three reasons nobody ever touched Steve Yzerman. Bob Probert, Joey Kocur and Gerard Gallant.

I've been watching entire games for the last 35+ years not just 2 minute highlights but thanks for the laugh. The Sedins aren't young. This team is not consistent because we have an AHL coach who doesn't know what the bleep he is doing. John Tortorella gets run out of town and ends up coaching a team with an average age only .6 years older than the Canucks and his team is in 5th place in the entire NHL. Can you explain that?

Phat Fingers Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 A coach like Gallant won't be available for long and we are in dire need of a clear approach. Gallant has a great track record and will not likely stand for a team that backs down. Could see him being excellent with guys like Horvat, Guddy, T88 and Virtannen.
