Darius Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Well, if there was any doubts (or should I say hopes) the last two games showed us that they cant run with the big dogs. Ive been watching this team for decades and I can say with confidence that clogging up the neutral zone, dumping and chasing the puck, and praying that miller will stand on his head with the end goal of getting bit@ slapped in the playoffs is not the best path. This team needs to hit some kind of home run in the next 2 or 3 drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your idiot son once again let's Biega sit for Larsen. Fire Willie Benning you idiot or we will all be calling by for your head soon. News flash, if Larsen got shipped out by what was an awful Oiler team... that should have been our first clue that he is garbage Keep WD until the off season. He is our best shot at a top pick and Larsen is insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Canucks had so much in the tank and spent it all in teh first half of the season. looking like they have nothing left to give really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Still a lot of hockey left to play. I find it entertaining to watch everyone blame a 6-3 loss to a top western team on the number 7/8 d-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Last 10 games 3-4-3 Good for 3rd worst in the league. And the schedule is about to narrate a script from Scared Straight to JB. Its going to get ugly. The re-fool, rebuild, or whatever *re* buzzword it is this week might finally result in the acquisition of a draft pick. Even just one pick acquisition would be impressive.

Biega at a a minimum Wouldn't mind seeing Pedan. Maybe throw him on the PP, considering he had the hardest shot on the Canucks at Superskills last season.

Harvey Spector Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 6 game road trip. The question is will we win another game before we get back to Vancouver? This road trip will certainly determine what Benning is going to do at the trade deadline. There may be some veterans that don't come back to Vancouver after this trip is complete.

Mikael Granlund is havig a career year and really has been unstoppable, at least for his 12 game point streak (which leads the league for this season, btw). The Wild overall have been incredible, with production coming consistently from every line and even D pairs. Their goaltending is our of this world, Duby seemingly never tires, and Kuemper holds his own. The loss was disappointing, but not shocking. No way we could compete; our last win against them was a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Spector Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I just noticed Troy Stecher leads our defencemen in points with 14. Think about that. A rookie leading our defence in points. And he only has 14. I'm thinking that Olli Juolevi pick is looking better and better. I hope Juolevi is given every opportunity to make this club next year. As long as he's ready of course. We definitely need a true #1 defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeBee51 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The Larsen experiment should end just like the Philadelphia experiment ended... soon. Wasn't only his fault of course but I really don't see an NHL player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So it is official? We are off the playoff bandwagon and back on the 'woe is me, how bad can management be thread?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The most glaring thing was the passing from the defenceman to the forward...very "Atom" like (this is how 9 & 10 year olds play). They could not make a pass if their life depended on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 9 hours ago, stonecoldstevebernier said: Agreed. I can live with Tryamkin's mistakes, because its his first full year in the league and he's showcased his potential on numerous occasions. His good games are much more frequent than his bad ones. Same with Stecher, you expect some hiccups at that age so if he has an off night you can live with it. Larsen's 27, he's not going to improve, and he hasn't shown anything positive to outweigh the negatives and show he deserves a spot in the lineup. outweigh a pencil...maybe.

True but we tried that last year and failed and when we finally had a decent shot at a pick we chose Virt over Nylander and Ehlers so don't bet on the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
