The Canucks have done well lately ..6 wins in a row..but some of WDs decisions are mind boggling..this team is winning in spite of the guy.

 

The Canucks have done well because their goaltenders have kept them in games and guys like Horvat, Baertschi, and Granlund have stepped up big.

 

How many of the games we've won have actually been well played games though? The majority of them see us getting outplayed badly for long stretches.

Put him in the pressbox or on IR if he's not 100%.

 

Why keep a player around you won't even play when they're dressed?

Yeah it's a head scratcher. Unless Rodin felt something in pregame warmups?

I totally agree

 

maybe if we outplayed or outshot teams during that stretch .... things a coach can influence .... but we didn't 

 

we won ONLY because of our goaltending

I don't see why we can't switch it up a bit a move a hitter like Labate into the Gaunce spot. Gaunce is basically a passenger every night at this point. Sure he's gaining valuable experience but, at the same time he adds very little, certainly nothing that can't be matched and upgraded by a Labate.

Last night we were outshot what 46 -13? Gaunce produced more "shots for" on his line (5) than were generated against (4).  The only player on the Canucks that can say that and he played some PK to boot.  He is setting people up, wins every board battle, and he had a nice forecheck and hit in 2d period this game that caused an icing and we had a scoring chance off the face off.  He is doing this every night.  Does he score?  Obviously not, but anyone who says Gaunce isn't doing his job I disagree with. If we are counting on him to score we are in bigger trouble than I thought. Not that he shouldnt have a few goals by now.

because if a forward goes down and they had the spot for him to jump in just in case would loook stupid not to.  It's exactly the sort of thing someone like you would piss and whine about

I didnt say played well..I said done well...they were lucky with some of those outcomes and it sure wasnt because they were coached well...

Alot easier to play with 12 forwards. No point dressing a player that can't play.

 

Yes I'm complaining because we're playing Jayson Megna over a skilled sniper. If you're not questioning that I don't know what to say.
