As long as LoserSSon doesn't seen any ice when we are healthy I will be happy. I think they put Sutter in for a couple reasons: his experience, pk ability and plays C in case of an in game injury Miller can play C in case we need it during a game. We don't need Sutter in the lineup just to take a few draws. That would be a waste of a roster spot. If Green takes out MacEwen he seals his fate as the new coach of Sibir... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 scoring lines, need to be defensively responsible on bottom 6 during this stretch drive. I love what Mac did last game as much as anyone but he's young with 15 games under his belt. Defense wins games this time of year. I love what Mac brings with energy, size, physicality and some offense but Green will use Sutter over Mac. Yes we know that. That's why he will be the new coach of Sibir next year... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazurus Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Just now, Alflives said: Our guys have to be willing to play hard nosed hockey. Torts will demand his guys do. If we don’t at least match that physicality we will get run out of our own barn. I sure wish we were the team that initiated the physical play, and not always the team that retaliates. I thought this team was pretty big until I looked up Columbus's roster on reference. What a difference in age and size, 17 players 25 and under (Canucks 9) and 21 players 6'1" (Canucks 16) and over, they are huge. I guess it is easier to get young kids to play BIG than older guys. They have 10 guys out with injury that were not of the list too, important players. They should be tired though after last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are most likely going to have to wait till next year for full time Mac. (I love the kid - but that’s probably pretty realistic if we get healthy) Watch CDC implode 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 This is going to be a fantastic game tonight. Both teams are in a must win situation, so it will be a hell of a battle. Great news about Brock and we should be hearing about Marky early this coming week. Gotta keep plugging away 'till everyone's back. I still think Marky will return for the SoCal roadtrip; maybe even play in the TB game, which is 5 games away including tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter is a has been. Green should be fired immediately and sent to Siberia if that happens... the biggest problem for young players is to play consistently zack had a very good game last game he has also had some other strong games he has also been invisible in games this is not a black and white situation green will have a feel for how zack is going and may opt to sit him here and there to allow zack time to refocus that is a fairly common way to deal with a young player's development as more players return to health and are not replaced on the injured list by newly injured players i suspect we will see the roster of players who will sit a game here and there expand but so far the team has not had the luxury of that sort of team health and the rotation through the injured list has limited the number of players green might have chosen to sit this season i'm curious to see how this is handled should good health become a "problem" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Alflives said: Demko has to play better than their goalie. If he does we win. If he doesn’t we lose. This is certainly true. I think step 1 for him is to have a game, win or lose, where he doesn't let in a soft goal that factors into fhings. It will be far better for him to only be part of the storyline of the game if its because he stood on his head or even stole the game. It will also be easier for him to play better than the other goalie if our defensive zone play gets tightened up significantly. It is crazy how often the Canucks leave guys wide open in dangerous scoring areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazurus Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Boeser will be awhile yet if he had a rib injury, he hasn't been working out very hard. The team cannot have him come back too soon either, there are not enough players they could waive to the minors to make cap space without losing some. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf, it's a little much to speak on behalf of "we as fans" and the players. "We" can only speak for ourselves. I question some of the decisions at times but also understand I don't have the rationale behind them. The coach is on the bench, gauging the players and the team on the next bench too...he makes decisions accordingly. He seems to be doing well with Jake, Mac, etc. so he might know more than we think. If players are whining internally because "it's not fair" they likely aren't a good fit...we've had some of those guys. Don't let the door hit ya. Every player on this team should be on board with winning...however that looks and whoever in the line up gets them there. The coach's son is probably 12 years old...these guys are in a men's league and better have the right attitude about it all or they're just not cut out for it. Not sure why we even want to stir this pot of "he likes him better than me" and drama filled scenarios. Our team's seen enough of that crap and it'd be nice to just have some drama free, smooth sailing for awhile. Even when they lose. 8 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they have had at least 15yrs of rebuilding and since they entered the league their playoff record is: 1 conference quarter final L; 1 first round W; 3 first round L; and did not qualify in for 13 years. IRREGARDLESS, the Jackets are a terrific team and will continue to be for many years. BUT, what with all their significant injuries, they are very beatable. In 14 games they have 2 wins (Senators in OT and the broken Canucks). Go Canucks Go!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
