Our goaltending improved a whole lot, and the winning was a by product of that. If we're winning the shot clock and scoreboard each game then we should be content with the team regardless of production. But I feel like Willie is just riding out this lucky streak, instead of trying to build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he would have been snapped up but the following 2 years have shocked me. Megna is 26 and has showed to be a decent AHL player that can't make the jump. He already cleared once this year and if nobody wants nestrasil nobody would want megna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Willie's mom we all know your son has a man crush on Megna after he was forced to break up with Vey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have been pretty mediocre to say the least in the last 10. WD should be smart enough to see that and pick up on some weaknesses before the team.has to start losing to make changes.

numb3r 16 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 i think benning picked up this kid so that he could help out the team, not sit in the pressbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce has played well, I just think he needs to be further up the lines but that won't happen yet. I'm looking at Utica and Guance is the only guy who doesn't need waivers to move around. He's been solid as a 4th liner at best would rather see Rodin or Boucher in the lineup over both him and Megna though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My only guess on why they don't plat Boucher. Does anyone know if Megna or Chaput is elegible for the expansion draft if they play a certain amount of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of these two could make it as 4th liners. If you watch the Canucks recently we are being treated to almost perfect 4th line displays every night. The only thing lacking is more goals but hopefully they will come. What we do see, is non stop compete, speed, great forechecking and most nights the opponents being backed into their own end. It's difficult for a coach, any coach, to break that up. We need look no further than the top line to see who is letting us down. Maybe we should sit one of the tins and try Rodin or Boucher in his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podz92 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I feel sorry for this kid. He thought he was going to play some hockey here. Not with Willy as coach, he's got no idea how to manage a bench or a press box! He is the worst coach in the NHL today. Oh but the boys have all had a 'real good' effort why would you give anyone else a chance right Willy?? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a target all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be working quite well.. http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2017/1/12/14220234/boston-bruins-columbus-blue-jackets-fourth-lines-beginning-to-change-nhl-thinking Quote Then there are the league-leading Blue Jackets. Their fourth line of Scott Hartnell, Lukas Sedlak and Sam Gagner has 8 goals while playing together, with two assists, and a CF& of 51%. They're also used in all zones - which means that John Tortorella is comfortable having them anywhere on the ice. Like Boston, they rarely hit-in fact, the line as a whole only throws 2.3 hits a game-the least in the league. That flies in the face of the claim that the best teams have a fourth line that can hit, doesn't it? A line that can play all over the ice, score and defend - that's something most teams would kill for on their first, never mind their fourth. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gagner-4th-liner-columbus-pace-crush-career-highs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
