Sandro17 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I feel like were accidentally emulating the 2010 Blackhawks speedy rushing style. Lots of breakout passes and chances off the rush. Anyone else feel the same way? Edit: FYI I'm talking about the play style, not the ability to win the cup or rank in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCanuck10 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 No, we aren't emulating anyone. We play like the 2019 Vancouver Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I don't see it. Those Blackhawks would crash the goal crease, and they had defensemen capable of rushing and providing boosts of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Just slightly better than the 2019 Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam126 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 We have some players that can be compared to the 2010 Hawks. But we still have a long way to go before we can make any comparisons to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6string Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 When we add Quinn Hughes that vision begins to take some CBH game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Never thought I'd say this but the Flames look like the 2010-2014 Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 2010 Hawks? Take a good look at their blue line then and compare it to ours. Not remotely on the same level. Up front, I like what I see but on D it’s still a work in process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboarder Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's more likely 2008 Blackhawks rather than 2010 because Blackhawks were up and coming team that missed the playoffs for years prior, maybe 2007 Blackhawks rather than 2010 Blackhawks that just won the Cup. I believe that Hossa helped them to get over the hump and without Hossa, they could be bounced out by the Canucks. I remember that series where they couldn't get going with their playoff performance that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Every team tries to have clean breakouts, quick passes, chances off the rush, speed, points from the defense and forward scoring depth. Are the Canucks accidentally emulating the 2010 Blackhawks? Not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane = Gaudreau Almost identical players. We'll see if Johnny can perform like Kane in the playoffs Toews = Monahan Toews is better defensively and is clutch. Monahan has yet to show he can perform Sharp = Lindholm Excellent 2 way Centres both right hand shots again not sure if he will perform in the playoffs we'll find out this year. Hossa = Tkachuk Hossa >>> Tkachuk Ladd = Bennett Both gritty 3rd line players that can chip in some offense Bolland = Backlund Edge to Backlund Keith = Gio Keith won the Norris in 2010 Gio is having a Norris worthy year. Seabrook = Hamonic Defensive physical RHD 2010 Blackhawks had more size and grit. Flames have nobody like Byfuglien or Brouwer in their lineup. Their eerily similar though both teams even have questionable goaltending. As for this year's Canucks. They remind me more of the 2000-01 up and coming Canuck team. They had just gotten out of the dark years and were on the rise. Showed alot of heart and made the playoffs despite losing Naslund to injury.

*Buzzsaw* Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 No. We don't have nearly as good a D Corps as the Hawks from 2010. And we don't have a monster veteran scorer/playmaker like Hossa. In my opinion, Hossa was as big a factor as Toews and Kane on that team on the Cup years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flames do not have anyone like Seabrook... who scored more than Keith in some years and was huge physically. Monahan is not Toews... who was a superstar in his early years. Keith, as much as we hate him, is a much more slick D than Giordano. Sharp of 2010 is better than Lindholm... much more of a team leader. Kane and Gaudreau very similar... but as has been said... can Gaudreau put up in the playoffs? I think Calgary goes out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Industrious1 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hawks defense in the early 10's was light years ahead of Vancouver's now and a ton of their chances were created off the back end. So no, as someone that watched a ton of those games back in the day (we get WGN in Alberta for some reason) I don't think we resemble them very much at all.

They had just gotten out of the dark years and were on the rise. Showed alot of heart and made the playoffs despite losing Naslund to injury. Haven't watched Calgary except when they play us so I don't know too much, maybe they are as good as you say. But... I'm not sure if Monahan is as good as Toewes. At some point, it was Crosby, Toewes, and Kopitar as the 3 best forwards/centers in the world. Is Monahan a top 3 forward? He may not even be a top 3 center in the world. Sharp had quite a bit of grit as well as goal scoring/sniping abilities. Not familiar with Lindholm's game to comment accurately but does he? Hossa >>> Tkachuk is right. And there's really a huge difference. Looking back, I would put Hossa just a tad below Sergei Fedorov, although Hossa is a winger and Fedorov a center; they were special players on both ends of the ice with physicality/skating. Basically, elite in every aspect of hockey. Bennett = Ladd? lol. Not yet and may never. Bolland in 2010 was great but otherwise, Backlund is a better player overall. Keith = Gio is quite close. Hate Keith but I think he was top 2 or top 3D in the NHL during those years. Gio is a top 10? maybe top 5? Quite close though. It's funny, Keith is only 1 year older than Gio. I wonder what happened to Keith. Seabrook > Hamonic. Similar style and Hamonic looks like he has enough toolset to put up 40 pts but he never has. Seabrook did so multiple times. And as you say, 2010 Hawks had Byfuglien and Brouwer on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
