Popular Post 189lb enforcers? Posted December 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2019 Captain Horvat and the identity forging Canucks against the Sharks. Showing up isn’t enough. Answering the bell, isn’t enough. Its time to initiate and/or come out on top for a change; intimidate. Against the Sharks, this is a pipe dream, I get that, but they also need to start making space for themselves within the Pacific and NW by fighting for it. The approach the team brings against the Sharks will help me understand who TG is as a coach and who the Canucks think they are as players, a team and a brand of hockey. The team has no answer for Kane and a whole lot of others on the Sharks. Not every team does. Unfortunately for my tastes, this is still burning my ass as a Canucks fan. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, yes, 4 points would be huge, especially if neither game goes to overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your points are bang on. Each game win/lose I am watching how players deal with the play and game circumstance. I am usually impressed with both Pearson and Leivo. I thought Ferland came out very strong as he tried to play his game. To soon I guess as his problem has not gone away. This club has to be able to play a physical game to have any CUP play success. Relying on a EP40 to bail them out is not enough. Marky bailing them out is not enough. It is a maturing process and this is an opportunity to do some of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. I do like the Miller-Petey-Jake experiment tho. Edited December 14, 2019 by Jimmy McGill 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Gotta say, I visited the Shark tank a few years ago for a game and it was a great experience. The fans were really nice to us, the building was good, seemed small and intimate. It had good energy. We got to travel down with the Canucks alumni and I had the pleasure of hanging out with the great Jyrki Lumme. Good memories. Now go kick some ass Nucks!

Ferland and Roussel are the 2 that rarely pass up a chance to lay the body on Yes, still a roster that can’t defend itself against the bullies of the league and since, like you say our two main hitters in MF and AR, and which I’ll add are usually injured, it’s a bigger problem just when they need that element the most. Many fans here are somewhat used to the Naslund/Sedin cheek-turning and have completely adopted and embraced the victim identity of the Canucks as demonstrated by the continued ref-blaming and hating on any physical opponent they watch, in place of criticism of their own team. To each fan, their own, I guess. However, the good news is that it’s gotten better in here this year, but the blaming and whining about being victimized still exists within these GDT threads, so much so that I think there’s no need to elaborate. The team being better equipped to handle the physicality makes these threads bearable this year, IMO. Less blaming the bully and the zebra for not sticking up for us, but it’s still constantly posted in here too. Its still a roster needing to find a way to initiate and finish checks, hard, like you say here. Its not about scrapping and being a goon, not at all. Its about making it so you don’t have to fight because you already have that respect, an element the Canucks management has avoided incorporating into their roster except for smallish 4th liners and IR magnets like Ferland, who if we’re being honest, Ferland isn’t a deterrent as much as he is a guy who can and will fight when he has to, but he’s not a Wilson or the type to scare and intimidate opponents with his style. We could use a few more like him or just one mean SOB too. I write all of this because of what I perceive, and with documented reason, as a stage for the Canucks to be pushed around again tonight by the Sharks. I am suggesting that it’s not enough to simply push back anymore and that Canucks have to be the push from now on and learn how to do that against these physically superior teams. Yes, it’s a personal preference, as are most posts of ours, I fully admit, but I’ve said mine. Absolutely, Captain Horvat must be the guy to lead that push and to take it to the Sharks from the drop of that puck! TG has to demand that as well. Like this...

Green likes his "pairs" so maybe he see's Miller-Petey as more effective than Petey-Brock, which might be true I don't have the numbers crunched to say one way or the other. But Bo so clearly needs better talent than Leivo on his RW... Pearson-Bo-Brock just seems like a good thing to try out. 3rd line Brock? doesn't sit well with me, he's not a grinder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
