Very happy to see Motte get one too as that man works his arse off. Great time to get going on a big streak.

You are all a great bunch... Right back atcha, spook....all the very best to you for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. This little dysfunctional family of ours is alright. Even when we all fight at the dinner table, talk politics and religion and ride the highs and lows of this deal together. It's a real treat to be able to come "home" here and settle in with you all.

I didnt say McDavid is overrated, rather his game play. Crosby is a way more complete player in so many ways. I acknowledged McD's speed which makes him exciting to watch. But he doesn't play a team friendly game a lot of the times. He's second in the NHL for turnovers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 8 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: McDavid is the anti-Gretzky. He is a me first player and uses his great talent unto himself. Gretzky was the exact opposite, he used every player on the ice to the team’s advantage and set up plays before the other team knew what was coming. Gretzky had the vision, anticipation and intelligence that no one else had. And he still managed to score almost 900 goals. But it was his set up play that put him above everybody else. McDavid simply takes the puck and tries to beat every player on the other team with his speed and skill. Absolutely great individual talent but he is not a team player at all. Looked it up last night. McD is second in the NHL for turnovers. You said it well my friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a style you see in many kids. Its because kids dont watch hockey games anymore. They watch hilites. Back to what I said McD tries that selfish crap ten, twelve times a game and it results in turnovers 90 percent of the time. Kids dont see that. They see the hilite when it works and think thats hockey. Selfish player who is currently second in the NHL for turnovers. Exciting, fast player who may be the best skater ever accelerating and turning with the puck. Time will tell if he has a career of championships like Crosby has though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isam Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 8 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Right. I hear that all the time. Gretzky won the scoring title when he was 33 in the 90’s, beating out guys like Jagr, Fedorov and Bure. When Patrick Roy was wearing his large pads. Were you scoring goals against Patrick Roy? Depends. Sandstrom and Granato were matched with him alot. He also played alot with Taylor, Nichols, and Robitaille when he first got to la. It isn't the dynasty Oilers, but he wasn't playing with scrubs either in la. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Love to see a win where the first line gets no points. Secondary scoring has always been one of those problems that every iteration of the Canucks has had, as this group matures that looks like it won't be a problem. Now if all the cap hiccoughs over the next few years don't screw this up there is a lot of encouraging signs. EP continues to amaze, forecheck last game and just the defensive acumen throughout this game. Nice to have a point plus a game scorer who plays 200 ft. You could echo the same thing about Hughes. Two amazingly talented offensive players that from a physical stature perspective should struggle defensively but use their skills and smarts to be great defensively as well. LE finally scored his 30th goal. Still think we are better moving Brock to Bo's wing. Maybe he will be more assertive as a shooter and EP can look to shoot more as well. Still a mediocre team but in the cap world the majority of the teams are. Besides, as a Canucks fan for a lot of years, Mediocre is a good year and definitely a step up from where we have been. Heading in the right direction towards good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times McD tries to beat guys one on two, even saw a one on three last nkght at the blue line. I'm not talking anywhere else on the ice. I'm talking zone entries and specifically the opposing blue line on zone entry. He tries to beat guys, when outnumbered all to often. Heck, even the empty net goal was because he was thinking of skating it on through a wall then changed his mind last second and failed on his dump in. Result was a turnover, which he is second on the NHL in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 3 hours ago, Phat Fingers said: I I didn't notice anyone feeling content last night. This group has some great energy and can play against the top teams and win. Not consistently, but this group has 38 games together. New players this year. Hughes, Myers, Benn, Fattenburg, Miller, Gaudette, Demko, Ferland. That's a massive roster turnover in one off season. The right signs are there. This team has been getting better over the year. It is not linear and the november slump is and was expected. Last year we, what lost 11 of 14 in that span. This season we were a 5-5-3. I think. Trending is still positive even with November factored into it. Looking at the top teams, they have all had alot of time together. That is something that this group will get, in time. Good point. Stability and players staying together really help a teams performance. Look at the Oilers () not a lot of changes since last year and they've been much better. Don't get me wrong, there will be changes, just not so many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his next point will tie him with burrows for 14th all time in Canucks history. He probably doesn’t know that or even care tho. Extremely underrated player for us.

Doughty Barzal Karlsson Pasta Offensively gifted players have the puck more. Score more. Take more chances. Win games more. It comes with the territory. His takaway differential is better than that of Panarin Scechnikov Marchand Paciorietty Draisaitl Edler Q. Hughes Kopitar Kucherov Karlsson OEL Barzal Toes Pasta Burns Gaudreau Chabot Tkatchuk Reilly Carlson Letang Doughty Weber Josi Yandle Klingberg Just to name a few. You'd be crazy if you would pass on these guys just because of their giveaway/takaway stats. Stop acting like he's hurting the Oilers when he's the only reason they haven't been relegated to the Ahl. To prove my point further Eriksson has a +4 gv/tk differential McD has -14 Who do you want on your team. I know who I'm taking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
