True, but I would still like to see Cassels beat Chaput for a job on the 4th line next year. Yes, I'm already thinking ahead to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Baer that made the pinch and got caught deep on that rush - it was the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm already thinking ahead to next year. I think Cassels will come around in due course - if I were betting, I think he'll be a late re-bloomer and an NHLer. I think the majority of his problems have been injuries. Did they set him back too much? He's still only 21, so here's hoping not. I'd love to see him come back and give McJesus fits again.

That was it, he was the one guy who kept McD from a memorial cup. I heard an interview on 1040 with Green, and it sounds like CC is making good progress.

Pete M Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 The Canucks need to work on their breakouts. The first pass is so important but they can't make it half the time; third of the time, they just dumping it out. When they do make the 1st pass, they have possession through the neutral zone and usually get the puck towards the net and generate chances. This part of their game is brutal...practice breaking out over the x-mas break and then continue down the ice and practice setting up the attacK triangle and execute it. If they improve this part of their game, they will start winning more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his passing is a bit deceptive, its harder than it looks coming off his stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 We are a different team with Hansen. I've always liked the guy and defended him on CDC but he's taken his play to another level since the Torts season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 A split with the Peg. Not so bad. I love that team - perhaps Scheifele can be the leadership they need in due course. Still a young group that is going to be very fun to watch for a long time. Can't wait to see them start dominating the Central - and the annoying California teams.

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 At this point, we need big bodies like Virt. Green's job is very important right now. We can be patient, but we need that asset developed to near-potential. It's gonna take some time, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Lots of Jets fans tonight, "True North" during the anthem, "Let's Go Jets!" ... Canucks outplayed them in 1st period ... then they fell apart at the end of the 2nd and beginning of 3rd. Canucks fan trickling out with 7.5 mins left in the third cuz Jets were up 3-1 ... weak!
