captainhorvat Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Canucks will make a game out of this. Just get the sense that they will come out with energy and hopefully sustain that throughout the game. Glad Nilsson starts today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people want the Canucks to lose more to improve their draft position. Guess what? This is what it looks like. Would people rather have the Canucks' best prospects be the reason why they're losing? The vets are taking the fall for most of the team's current shortcomings.

The majority have been in the league for a while, and should be putting in a far more consistent effort, and not relying on the coach to prod them.

How are the vets taking the fall? I haven't heard a single interview where any of the vets shoulder the responsibility? I've heard a lot of "we" need to be better, but not "I" need to. Markstrom has been very accountable in interviews shouldering his share of the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like what Green's done for the most part but not in the 3rd period against Florida, a quick team, where he sat Gaunce and Jake, two of the fastest skaters on the team.

I never mentioned that the players themselves have said anything about it. Gagner, Del Zotto, and the Sedins are examples of players who CDC are heaping most of the criticism on for the team's performance this season. I'd prefer that to having prospects be the focal point of those comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what kills me about people who desire to see the vets held "acountable" for off nights, as if that will do anything other than add more pressure to a group in this market.

I never mentioned that the players themselves have said anything about it. I think the main reason the team is where they are, is due to injuries. As well, the team is in transition, so anyone who's really upset by where they are needs to consider the context of the situation. I know that some are upset about another lost season, in what looks to them like an eternal rebuild. 1 minute ago, Brad Marchand said: Gagner, Del Zotto, and the Sedins are examples of players who CDC are heaping most of the criticism on for the team's performance this season. I'd prefer that to having prospects be the focal point of those comments. Gagner has floated for games at a time. That's a fact. If he was given a three year deal, he should be putting in a far more consistent effort than he has. Del Zotto has been fairly consistent, at least to me. He leads the team in hits, and has been pretty solid. The Sedins are 38 years old and clearly in the twilight of their career. I don't blame them for losses outright, more so the fact that they should accept reality and step aside so that the team can move on. Others who get derided are: Edler has been quite consistent this season, but should still be traded to a contender, if possible, to move into the next phase of the rebuild. Gudbranson has not been an analytics darling, and has been blamed for the weakness of the defense disproportionately. Eriksson has been pretty pathetic since being signed here. I wouldn't miss that guy for a second if he was traded. The majority of the young players will need to eventually get used to the bipolar fan base and their "musings" without vets insulating from opinions and conjecture. Plenty of the players under 30 seem quite comfortable in front of the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
