Bur14Kes17 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I cannot even begin to understand why Brandon Sutter is on the first unit power play and I'm getting exhausted watching it. I can't count the number of times he's disrupted the Sedins cycle, he doesn't have a quick trigger to shoot the puck, and he's not known to battle for greats goals in the crease. Willie has absolutely refused to use Hansen on the power play. Lord knows why because remember last year right at the end of the season when Hansen got onto a power play one game and score? Anyone remember this? Willie certainly doesn't. The first unit started in Washington with Sedins Erickson Sutter and Stetcher. It wasn't working, so what does Willie do? He takes Erickson off and puts another defensemen on it... Willies roster deployment choices are not getting the best out of this team and I'm pretty sure Benning has gotten into his ear in the past but the problem has just continued. imo our power play units should be PP1 Sedins Hansen Erickson Stetcher PP2 Horvat Sutter Baertschi Burrows Hutton - in fact I don't particularly care so long as Horvat Baertschi and Hutton are there.

Mathew Barzal Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've wanted Hansen's one timer on the PP since the beginning of time. I'm happy Willie l's coach though because he's losing us games we could be winning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya and I'll be very happy when we draft Nico in the top 5 this year, but in the mean time, watching Willie make lines is like shoving your arm down a toilet hole and then flushing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 To justify the contract management gave him. The amount of money and term committed, warrants him to offensively produce, and the PP in theory should be a place to rack up lots of points.

Bur14Kes17 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Remember when AV use to load up the 1st PP unit by putting Kesler with the Sedins? Why not now put Horvat with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He's a soft big-man. He specializes in two-way play, not cycling with skilled players like the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are learning but I feel like both PP units should strictly be the kids. They actually shoot the puck, Stech in particular. How many times have we heard "…and Henrik passes instead of shooting" or seen him try to center the puck to Daniel just to have it blocked and turned over. Meanwhile Troy is at the point by himself screaming for a feed. I am usually pretty positive about the team and optimistic but our PP today left me so disgusted.

Brad Marchand Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Sutter was a left-handed shot he wouldn't be on the first unit. I honestly don't know why they don't try using Hansen on the PP more. He's a righty and probably couldn't be any worse than what they're trying now.

Johnny Shotgun Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Power play aside this team basically sucks period. On virtually every front. Might become competitive again sometime in the mid 20's. Prepare yourself for a futile 7 or 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Our powerplay sucks because we have less talent then the top teams. We could disect the 80s canucks and try and figure out why this guy or that guy wasnt on the powerplay , but in the end , what does it really matter ? Our team is not as good as the other teams. Period. All the other arguments are just us having fun wasting time. Lets let go of 2011. We are back to square one. Worst part is , linden, benning and co are just going to make things take that much longer. It could be a decade before our team is relivant again In the words of Rob schnieder Weeeee suck again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
