Has 20 times the talent Pearson or Leivo have And lose our best puck moving dman to move him to his unnatural position? That's a terrible idea. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green should put Boeser back with Horvat and make the Triple B line again. and break up the best line that we have? they combine for 56 points so far, I am afraid that Horvat needs to learn to play with his wingers. the best he has done this season was with Jake and Ferland.

He’s getting saddled with face offs and a revolving door of wingers that belong on a third line. leivo and Pearson are great on the boards but that’s about it right now. Ferland and roussel would be Upgrades on some of these guys. I too would like to try Roussel with Bo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is long and the first 10-15 are no indication. forwards: Secondary scoring has dried up. If that isn’t fixed ASAP then this will be another long year. Leivo and Pearson are contributing F all right now. Horvat also needs to pick it up Defence: not a good night. Edler looked like Bad Edler. Myers was average. Tanev was his usual self. I don't always get a boner after 10 games in, but when I do it's usually after a highlight reel goal by Pettersson, or pass by Hughes, or seeing Horvat getting a hat trick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pair that makes the line work is Petterson and Miller. Petterson and Boeser has limited chemistry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they demoted him for no good reason even though he has been a consistent >0.5ppg player. Yeah, Horvat also likes to play with Boeser. I actually think Boeser and Horvat has better chemistry than Petterson and Boeser. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Tanev was a soldier out there like he does game by game, sacrificing his body putting it all out there for the Canucks. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptCanuck16 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 25 minutes ago, *Buzzsaw* said: I know it is unpopular to say, but once again, the Canucks unimaginative offense was very easy for Winnipeg to counter. Opponents know the puck will be dumped in and there will be a forecheck... so they set themselves up to retrieve the puck and get it out. Good teams enter the zone in possession and they get a shot every time they enter. Too often the Canucks 'Dump and Chase' style is one and done and nobody gets a shot. Watch the way the Jets enter the zone... almost no dump and chase, they carry it in almost every time. And they get their chances. But this is not the same Winnipeg team which has beat the Canucks so frequently in the past... they have real weaknesses on the D. Yeah, they have a potent offense, but if you use speed and passing, change of position, you have a lot of opportunity to take advantage of the Jet's weak Defense. Unfortunately there was very few challenges for them tonight. Canuck Powerplay was also lacking again tonight... it is not working as it should considering the personnel who are available with multiple player's able to shoot the puck with real authority. I agree with you 100% about the chip and chase strategy. You'll notice teams like the Jets that consistently carry the puck in to the ozone play a style where the forwards rush together up the ice providing puck support/passing options. The Canucks puck carrier seems to nearly always be 1 on 4 when they breach the blue line. The rest of the team is changing or nowhere to be found. So they either dump it in or turn it over. Their other method is the stretch pass because the forwards are playing way too high. The stretch pass either gets picked off, is inaccurate and gets turned over or results in an icing, or is too hard to handle for the receiver and gets turned over. The most frustrating thing about Green is that he sees no problems with the style of play. Every post game interview (including tonight) he says they played well and he was satisfied with the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podzilla Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Jake had a good game again. Finally has some confidence. I hope Green leaves Jake with Bo for a while and lets them develop some chemistry. Though I think Jake plays his best hockey with Sutter for some reason. Probably feels less pressure and can just play his game. When Roussel is back would like to see Roussel-Horvat-Virtanen Not sure why he was playing on the 4th line at the end of the game. He was the only forward consistently creating chances and turnovers. He needs more ice time and should be playing 3 on 3. Not sure what Green is thinking..a lot of the time.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spook007 Posted November 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2019 Good first period as well as a decent start to the second... the 2 x PP to Winnepeg changed the game, and the Nux looked slightly gassed and second to most pucks... Most teams have mini slumps like this, on to the next one.... Think it says a lot more about the fan base, how negative the majority of posts have become after a few loses... Did anyone here think we would put in a few top rookies and 3-4 new players and then sail into the sunset with no set backs? Get real... That Erikssons 6 mill and Luongos 3 mill have prevented us from the second line winger Bo needs or another top D man hasn't helped, but give them time to get this together. Its a new team so let them blend folks...they'll come good, eventually... 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Green is hiding some plays to be revealed in the playoffs (loooong time coming); I hope for his sake cause the deployment and plays seems very predictable.

Dogcrazy Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 We maybe able to survive with one Loui Eriksson, but we now have 3 "Erikssons" in Eriksson, Pearson and Levio....not even funny. Pearson in particular, he is beyond useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 What's the ETA on Roussel at this point? We could really use him as a spark plug during games like this one. Missing Ferland too, it's a shame he's run into health problems repeatedly this early into the season and been unable to get into a rhythm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linden17 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 And here come the Canucks.com posers. Love them last week and now doing a 180 and calling players trash and calling for people to be fired. A lot of you are such a joke sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
