Let's get back to those shots on the net ! JUST SHOOT ! Also..................we really missed seeing Trevor Linden at the festivities No team has scored more power play goals. We are 4th for PP%. You and your friends apparently need to learn hockey before you criticize it. This is why we need downvotes. Enough of these safe spaces.

LowerMainLander18 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not worthy of all caps title. False information. PP has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Wow we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for troll threads now that the Canucks have regained their form, eh? Like really? A powerplay thread? What's next, "The top six forwards need to step up their game - we're just not scoring enough"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Send the 2nd unit out first. The 1st PP knowing they don't have as much time as before may create a greater sense of urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesley Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Why wasn't Linden invited? Or did he decline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Power Play is one of the few parts of the Canuck team game which is working as it should. I have no complaints... other than that the team is relying on it to generate goals too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also..................we really missed seeing Trevor Linden at the festivities I'd give you a laugh reaction, but not worth giving you an upvote. Let's just make a quick comparison shall we? More shooting -> More shinpads (how many did Edler hit last year?) More passing -> PK forced to shift -> Shooting lanes open up -> Shots on goal -> Goal/2nd, 3rd opportunities on the rebound/O-zone faceoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, yelling 'Shoot!' at the TV does not actually make a player on the ice shoot the puck, This, I do know. Wait are you serious, god damn it. How do I get them to shoot when I want them to then??

yes we can nucks Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 14 hours ago, Lancaster said: Send the 2nd unit out first. The 1st PP knowing they don't have as much time as before may create a greater sense of urgency. I thought of this too. In fact, I think the coaches actually do this sometimes. The second unit plays less of a finesse (passing) style than the first unit which I think wears down the other team's first pk unit. They shoot more and cause more chaos. That would make the job of our first pp unit easier... to face a tired first pk unit or a less effective second unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 30% over the last 7 games...I'd say thats pretty damn good. Maybe just leave it for now.... Edited January 6, 2020 by spook007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinery33 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I didn't realize Trump comes on these boards to troll Canucks fans, wonder if he hits up the other Canadian teams forums lol. PP is forth best with more PP goals than any other team. Canucks have 41 PP goals through 42 games. They had 43 PP goals all of last season, but yeah we should get back to that. Thanks OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks OP A very good PP makes the opposition think twice before they make a sketchy play. If they can maintain these kind of numbers, it's extra protection for the players.
