Pretty sure Eriksson had a 4 point game once here too. Lol. Does that make his entire time here good? I’m pretty sure Pearson was one of our top producers in November with something like 12 points in 15 games. Sure, a 4 pt game helps, there’s no denying that. Still, having a hard time figuring out how he hasn’t been important all month. Pearson is not stealing Virtanen’s spot, which is on Gaudette’s wing alongside Roussel imo.

Popular Post canuck2288 Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) The OT call was not an even up call. That was going to be yet another “missed” call when the moron ref realized his miss was going to win the game for Buffalo. He blew the whistle when the shot had already been taken when it’s 3-3 you have to be on the lookout for pick plays. That was a blatant interference play on Jake to say it was even up is dead wrong the reffing was pathetic But will the nhl do anything about it? Nope Bo may have a concussion now on what was blatant targeting, EP get pushed into the net on a scoring chance, phantom call on Hughes, they constantly hooked EP in the hands .....just bush league reffing go back to golf Rank because you are a pathetic ref And get yourself a real name Giselle it’s tough enough beating the opposition but when the 2 refs have decided to join the opposition it’s an uphill battle. We beat them all tonight Edited December 8, 2019 by canuck2288 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck2288 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) We need Edler back in a big way, Edler knows how to eliminate players from the cycle on the powerplay we simply can’t sit back in a box and hope the other team gives away the puck or pray they don’t score. We need to pressure the play and force a turnover wish we would have stuck up for Bo but that’s Coach Ghandi’s mantra .... never ever stick up for a player and risk a penalty that said I loved the win but we need to fix a few things lets get Marky back as our number 1, not a great game from Demko on another note, the ridiculous delay of game rule has really impacted the ability to clear the puck out of green defensive zone. Players don’t want to risk playing the shot out off the glass and instead try the on ice route which can lead to a higher percentage of turnovers. I agree 100 percent with Garret and I have said it on here many times, when in doubt clear the puck out over our blue line, anything else is a bonus Edited December 8, 2019 by canuck2288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me drop everything and give you a summary of the last 15 pages. lol. \ eh...your team looks good but they lost. There ya go. Fair! I'd probably say the same thing.

Love that he felt he had to point out bad reffing 2x, while saying CDC bitched worse than it. If it needed to be mentioned twice...maybe...maaaybe , just maybe, the bitching was warranted. Oh CDC, in the words of Chuck D. 'If you don't love yourself, you can't love nobody' ( which is kinda a double negative, which is also why it's fitting for CDC which sometimes makes little sense) 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 One of the weaknesses the Canucks have had under Benning was pro scouting. I am saying was, because I think he and his scouts learned their lessons from the Loui signing. And they do a lot more homework. Because if you look at signings that seemed minor, guys like Graovac, and Fantenberg, they seem to be paying dividends. Rarely have I seen a team part with a 1st rounder and it pays the kind of dividends we're seeing with JT Miller. The best part is Benning is picking up UFA guys from College that are free prospects that don't even require draft picks. Sadly Kielly is struggling even in the ECHL, but Teves and Rafferty seem solid pick ups. Long term we're going to need more Centres and possibly wingers. But the encouraging signs that Lind and Gags seem to improving this year. Guys like Focht, and Madden are hopefully in the AHL and NHL sooner rather than later. Maybe Linus Karlsson will play in the AHL next year, and be a big surprise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't any one individuals fault, it's the fault of the coaching staff and their methodology. The D men are just playing the style of defense they're being told to. Which is box out, clog up the lanes, block shots. When I looked at it a couple weeks ago Edler and Tanev were like 2nd and 3rd in the league for blocked shots. That speaks volumes right there. Bottom line is that you won't see a change in the teams style of play until the coaching staff changes because they are the driver of that bus. Regarding Bo, I don't think there was anything malicious about the play. It was coincidental contact. Apparently Bo went over to talk to the guy after and he hadn't even realized he hit him in the head. No need to give him the Steve Moore treatment over it! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player, says the right things with the media and in spite of draft year questions about coachability according to Brian Burke, Miller seems like great veteran leadership. I'm sure JB did his due diligence before making the trade, but no doubt this has been the acquisition of his career. Finding a inexpensive, under-used player of this caliber with term, and he ONLY cost us a 1st rounder, no prospects or additional picks? That's robbery!

MikeyD Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 19 hours ago, Seinfeld said: Boeser with 2 secondary assists, but was invisible the whole game. It's going to be impossible to convince people that he's playing poorly when they'll just say "But look at his PointzZZzzZz!!". I disagree. He wasn't invisible at all tonight. He wasn't in the offensive zone making many of the plays but he was pushing the play extremely well and moving his skates from the defensive zone into the offensive zone. I'm highly critical of him too, but he did a lot of the little things right and that's the reason why he got 2 secondary assists. He could be playing better but that's just on an offensive standpoint. He's been playing great lately, but he hasn't been getting the puck much. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 19 hours ago, N7Nucks said: To be fair that happened with Edler. I really, really think it's just the coaching style. It's been that way all season to just give the opposing team free real estate to set up. I agree but at some point that's on the player. It's not like he's a rookie looking to stick with the big club. He can play however he wants at this point. He can have absolutely horrific games and get 20 minutes a night.

Nah those ones were way more predatory. He was just looking to create space with his body and there was just a height mismatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
