dKs89 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 How does that make no sense? You always want to win at home. If you can win at home that is a good thing.. You're supposed to defend home ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This make no sense to me unless this is a coaching issue and only a coach issue. What do you guys think? is it a player issue or a coaching staff issue? /end of a stellar thread. Sounds like you really thought this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe OP should look at home vs away records across the league this year. Almost every team looks like pure dog $&!#e on the road for some reason while those with decent records just have crazy good home records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that noise at the other stadiums throws their game off. I voted for the players. The coaching staff isn't on the ice and thus does not have a direct impact on the game. That is one of the dumbest statements I've ever seen. Of course the coaching staff has a direct impact. They choose which player goes on the ice and at what time, which wins or loses a game. There is literally no position that has more of a direct impact on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyg43 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well on road Willie does not get last change (big factor on matchups) Teams at home generally have good scouting on who is going an Who's not( a lot easier to target players who pose offensive threat an nuetralize those players strengths) line calibration is on coaching staff a brain fart could cause a 2 goal deficit real fast as witnessed many times over the last few years. Hence keeping lines fresher are of vital importance(it might change dramatically when 4 th line starts scoring goals more regularly in mismatch's) Goalie rotation an having right goalie at right games although not always possible (past performance record against teams sometimes gives an edge ) The Defense has been rebuilt an is a work in progress an has demonstrated a lot of potential talent to be a good to above average Defense. finally having the them ready to play at outset of the game is on coaching(how many different results would we have seen on more than few nights these past 2 seasons) Canucks are not the fasted most skilled or even gritty team. They have ability to compete hard and the results do bear fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could counter argue that a coach gets to decide which goalie plays, but the position of Goaltender, and how well the player in that position plays, has the most impact to the outcome of the game.

I agree with you 100%. If a goalie has an off night you are most likely losing that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Teams usually play better at home... Last change, hone crowd, sleep in their own home, skating in their own rink... I would find it stranger if we were worse at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, that is my counter argument and that's the point I was trying to make. Coaches choose the players, if a player doesn't play there's nothing he can do to impact a game. I definitely agree goalie is the most important position though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we should be counting our blessings. If our road record was half decent we'd be in a playoff spot easily and the tanker crowd would be looking for a bridge. If our home record was near as bad as our road record everybody would be looking for that same bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
