I'd say larsens posture is at least equal to blame if not entirely. the contact is halls upper arm. Larsen is leaning forward with his head down.....because he didn't look.

J-23 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 5 minutes ago, CanadianRugby said: Remember all the fans here in the offseason, claiming nobody would mess with the Canucks because we had Gudbranson & Tryamkin on D? Canucks as soft as they've been in years. No heart, no fight, in any Canuck not named Sedin, Horvat, Dorsett, Burrows or Hansen. True, we need players like Torres, Lapierre, Alberts, Rome, Bieksa, players that weren't afraid to throw hits. Teams used to be scared to play us because we threw so many big hits, even Edler had big hits. No one would dare to snow shower our goalies, or hack at their pads after the whistle, otherwise they would have been shoved to the ground. If a player was hit the way Daniel and Larsen were hit, they wouldn't have gotten away with it. Our physical play was a big reason we made it to the finals that year. Now, we let players hack away at our goalies, hit the sedins and we do nothing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What had me confused is why 2 Canucks got called for roughing and Hall didn't get one, that hit was pretty much roughing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey God Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Best wishes from New Zealand for Larsen, hope that he recovers without any serious problems. As for Willie, I truly feel he is out of his depth as a coach, but the problem is there is no one to replace him, at least in the management's eyes. The way I read Benning, Linden and co., they are loyal to a fault, which is why they will not pull the plug on their coach barring a catastrophic losing streak, let's say approaching 20 games. Even then, they won't promote who the young players on the team need, Green, midway through the season, so what we'd end up with would be, without a doubt, the worst team in Canucks history, bar none, with a lame-duck interim coach and players who know they won't be held accountable due to the situation and management's misplaced loyalty to past service and pie-in-the-sky ideals. It's the same reason needed trades don't happen every year. What a bad and rapidly deteriorating situation ... I'm really worried for the younger players and their developing skills and outlooks. Some players can overcome a bad situation through their own work ethic and sheer determination to play the game well, ie. Horvat and Hansen, and others can survive and sometimes thrive through skill and will, like the Sedins, but others ... too many square blocks to fit round circles on this team, and it won't change anytime soon. Unfortunately, it needs to happen to regenerate the skill on the team through the draft, but it will be a while before things look good again.

Nor will it ever be a "fan" thing to do. You can take that **** somewhere else because true canucks fans dislike the feeling of losing. You however promote it a the right thing to do. True Canuck fans dislike never having won a cup. Real fans know that Boeser & Juolevi aren't enough to turn this team around. Homers want to "go for it" now because they think somehow this team will accomplish things even though every expert predicted this season turning out the way it is. You can take that **** somewhere else and start a cheerleading forum where no realistic or negative comments about this team are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff 27m27 minutes ago #Canucks Burrows had 2 shifts (54 secs total) over final 7:08 while Megna had a 1:08 shift with 2 minutes to go.

bd71 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 22 minutes ago, Fateless said: Because we're not currently bad enough to pick in the top 3, but we're not good enough to make the playoffs. That's the worst place for a team that needs to rebuild to be. Check the standings. 28th place should give them a pretty good chance at picking in the bottom 3.

Don't bother arguing with kingofsurrey. So when willie plays our 4th line in the last 3 minutes. Is this intentional losing or accidental losing.. ? When our club has no push back when our goalie is obstructed and our D man is blindsided. Is that intentional losing or accidental losing.... You be the judge. We have the worst set of forwards in the league. We have the worst coach in the league. Is this intentional or accidental management.... I will get back behind this team fully when i see a canuck managment team willing to make the hard decisions to improve our club.... For now though, i mostly look forward to the 2017 draft and our top 3 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
