250Integra Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hey CDC! Let's have a little fun. We all know the infamous drop pass that the Canucks have been using for the last 10 years or so. From Edler to Ehrhoff, Edler to Henrik, and now Edler to Horvat (see the common denominator), it always gives me a chuckle because there is always the chance that it can go really wrong. Since they do it so often, I thought it might be fun to come up with a challenge for us to complete throughout the season. Really, it could be anything you want as this is YOUR challenge. For me, every time the Canucks do a drop pass on the powerplay, I'm going to... Do 10 pushups. (I think I'll look like this after the season is done) What are you going to challenge yourself with?

You're going to die. It's like 30-40 pushups every power play because they get turned back and restart it so often. On the one hand, there won't be many power plays because referees, on the other hand, yep, you're gonna die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 They should just give the puck to Pettersson and let him take it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEGCanuck Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The drop-pass is such a lame move itr should be banned from pro-hockey. That being said to answer the challenge i will take a hit each time the team uses it on the power-play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I noticed a lot of teams deploy their powerplay this way. I thought it was a canuck thing but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 When Quinn Hughes makes the team, we will see this play happen so much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The drop pass works when the defender is uncertain whether the puck career will beat them up the ice with the puck. It DOESN'T work when they know its coming and just sits back and waits for the drop pass to happen. I think one of these days, Edler should fake the drop pass and go end to end. I have a feeling he'll make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's not exclusive to Vancouver. Calgary did it on all their PPs for instance. But for the sake of the OP, I will do nothing cause I am lazy and no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
