bad alice french Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 There is no such thing as coincidence. Three solid D pairings, healthy and working as a unit and we are winning, yo! The back end is really getting it done and the whole team is playing better because of it. It's pretty tempting to overreact right now but the vision of this management as well as how Willy has deployed and developed the next gen of players seems to be coming into focus. Getting pretty excited and trying to keep it measured. The next wave is taking over. Go 'Nucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Just now, HerrDrFunk said: Stetcher. He looked like an absolute All Star that game. I nominate Stecher for Play of the First Period with his backcheck that prevented Bourque from a tap in. With 1 minute left in the frame that could have been bad first intermission mojo.

Canuck_Fan_52 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 FOur in a row! haven't seen that since the start of the season! Looks like the Avs are planning to tank it this year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Benning in one of his interviews said he was thankful for Burrows pointing Sven and Bo in the right direction. I think it was a real turning point for them to play with him over Skille/Virtanen and that he helped them get going. Horvat is now 21pts in the 26 games since and Baer is 20pts in 23 games (he missed 3 games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Love watching this team play the kind of hockey they are committed to. Puck pressure and support over the full 200ft and very few defensive breakdowns/blown coverages. That and some good goaltending will allow them to be in a lot of games. Solid up and down the lineup even with a top 6, top 4, a couple bottom 6 and a bottom pairing D out. Looks like Benning has built a fair measure more depth than he gets credit for.

Goes to show you need to be more respectful of the collective intelligence of CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluralsight Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Canucks with another strong night in the faceoff dot, winning 62% of faceoffs. Big improvement over last year, Canucks top three Centers are all in the top 40 in faceoff percentage in the league: 8th Brandon Sutter - 55.1% 13th Bo Horvat - 53.9% 35th Henrik Sedin - 49.8% Looks like Manny has done a great job with the team!

Horvat is now 21pts in the 26 games since and Baer is 20pts in 23 games (he missed 3 games). And to think people were so quick to write Burr off after a mediocre season last year stats wise. Some things you can't directly tally on a scoresheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 23 minutes ago, Jaimito said: hope they win 5, and beat their streak at the beginning if season. Sven has 11 pts in 10 games after the healthy scratch. yes a broken clock is right at least once a day, a blind squirrel finds an acorn from time to time. but maybe WD is good a developing young talent, a player that the Flames gave up on. And almost everyone , including 1040 , were freaking out about it. I got roasted for saying that willie knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedin's were good. Not great but good. Baertchi was good all night. So nice not seeing Edler on that side on the pp breaking sticks or firing the puck into shin pads all night long. Heartily agree.

Green Building Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Echoing sentiments of hard play and effort. Very nice to see a full game. Interesting though, the hits were 27-5 Avs, and that tends to favour the home team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
