They need to bear down on those chances and at very least force the goalie to make a save Can't come any closer than a post.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Canucks have such a great history of letting others achieve milestones. Proud to be a fan since 1974. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Willie needs to go. They earned all their goals and we had 2 bank shots we can still make a run with our roster just dump Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Brutal game. Canucks got lucky to get a point in this one. 1) Sedins were invisible for the most part, they're well and truly 2nd/3rd liners now, and didn't have much chemistry with Hansen. If we want them to be our top line I say put Sutter or Eriksson up there because they're simply not the same type of player as they used to be, and certainly don't match Hansen's style of play. Put the speedy winger with the other speedy young guys and put Sutter or Eriksson up with the twins. This line isn't working. Daniel scores with a very lucky goal. Hansen scores on a lucky bounce too. 2) Horvat line looked good again, and although he didn't score he was dangerous again. Not their best game but another strong performance. 3) Granlund struggled a bit but their line had some chances too, again not their best game. 4) Our fourth line was pretty good tonight in spurts but were never going to score. 5) Sbisa and Stecher and Tanev were solid tonight defensively and Stecher is really becoming a consistent force for us at all ends of the ice - we don't have anyone who is as good an all-round defender and haven't had someone so versatile since Edler in his earlier days. 6) Tryamkin, Biega and eventually Hutton cost us the game. BRUTAL game by Hutton. He is hands down the most overrated Canuck on this team. Had one decent season, now his true colours are showing. This kid was a 5th round pick and lets be honest, he has a very low cieling of a 2nd pairing defenceman. Nearly cost us the game with the 3-2 goal against, nearly wins us the game but ends up being the defenceman on the ice for the GWG. He struggled all night long though. 7) Miller was decent but not that solid, made some big saves and was left with glorious chances against but at the end of the day let in 3 goals on not that many shots. TL;DR - Defence was terrible, forwards got lucky, terrible game. Once again, defence is costing us games. Scoring is not a problem, our problem is the defencemen we have. Hutton needs to be better.

panelguy Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Ben Hutton will be a good player one day but right now he should be in the minors along with Granlund. Way to passive in there own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Strong game by Sutter and a few others. I wouldn't mind seeing Pedan crack the line-up - he comes preloaded with some much-needed passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Twins (one or both) on in OT? Definitely stealth tank!!! You don't put them out in OT when you're trying to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Fortunate to get the single point...CBJ did not give us much..CBJ have a pretty impressive team..IMO Wennberg,Saad,Jones,Werenski..and PLD maybe next year..Torts has done a good job with them (I think Torts excels on young teams that are entering their primes..Like the TB team of the early 2000's..He failed badly working with our vet team). Stecher had a great game...Hutton fell asleep on CBJ's 3rd goal (there's going to be learning curves for all our young D)..but good pushback by the Canucks at the end.

Oldmanpower Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Blue Jackets fourth line has a combined 45 pts. Canuck fourth line if we put four guys on it, has 14. This isn't the try hard league, it's the gett'r done league. We need more production from more players. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
