Would a 6-8 game win streak put us back in the playoff race? Yeah. Should we count a healthy Canucks team out of contention? Yeah. In his second premise, he is saying he "wouldn't" count a healthy Canucks team out of playoff contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he's going to be an instrumental part of the team by the end of the season. He's getting really good at faceoffs, and his defensive game is sparkling. How about just a fair contract if Dowd really helps the team moving forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahlin will take time to develop and make a difference. He'll be a bottom pairing Dman to start and hopefully top 4 in his second year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I know we won BUT I’m a canucks fan so I’m naturally gonna focus on the negatives... Would like to see virtanen in ot. His straight away speed should make it a no brainer to have him out there green is babying him along with his time and different situations which is good for him but to get more production from him I’d like to see him in front of the net on the pp as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you look at his stats, he basically kills possession and scoring chances for any linemates he has. Keep on looking at his stats, champ. The rest of us will actually watch the game.

There were problems with his game which he seems to be working out. The casualty of him having to have to think out there has been his physical play. If we want him to bring both aspects of his game, I think the only thing we can do is give him time. I have hopes that he can become the guy who they drafted.

People need to realize right now the chance of Canucks making the playoffs is less than 1 % Relax and enjoy the games. Enjoy seeing the kids developing. Well hey, maybe we could go on a run the way Ottawa did a couple of years ago with the Hamburglar. We'd just make the playoffs and get instantly knocked out. Now wouldn't that be the orgasmic satisfaction folks around here are hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd period where they were just stuck in their end - Gagner's shift was 3:25. Boeser and Vanek 2:42. What this impressed me the most is they were hemmed in the zone without taking a penalty or did not allow any goal against them during this long shift and most often, if it happened to other line that were hemmed in, they take a penalty or allowed a goal.

Yea it’s good they didn’t take a penalty but this line lacks speed and in today’s nhl that’s huge. Need Boeser back with Bo and Baer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Boeser back with Bo and Baer. I would expect Gagner to sit and Horvat to take over when he comes back. Plays die when Gagner touches the puck most often than not. I'd keep Boeser and Vanek together and have Bo joining that line. Too many line combinations possibilities if the Sedin were to be split up. They scored a goal without Daniel so yeah.

Lancaster Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The Canucks, with all their faults are a playoff contending team if they have a full line-up. If Baertschi, Sutter and Tanev didn't miss any time and if Horvat wasn't injured.... it's safe to say that the team could have pulled out an additional 4-5 wins in the last months. Add an additional 8-10 points and the Canucks would be in the mix for the wild cards. Once you're in the playoffs.... not saying they will go far... but you just never know. Plus playoff experience would be gold for the younger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'm fine if the twins hang'em up this spring. Move Gagner & MDZ, as well Vanek Bo Boeser Baertschi Sutter Virtanen Granlund Gaudette Eriksson Gaunce, Dowd, etc... That's without knowing if Petterson arrives. Should be younger, faster, cheaper, & pretty entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team can’t sustain prolonged Horvat/Sutter injuries but is much better than you’re giving them credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
