McDavid had a lot of chances last night. He just didn't convert. Im a die hard Canuck fan too. But I am not so homer that i can't recognize skill and talent from other players not wearing a Canucks jersey 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Our PP is brutal right now, way too static and predictable. You cant squander your chances against the oil, they are lethal when the even ups get called 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't generate anything against teams that understood defense. Been that way ever since Newell has coached. He's the perfect PP coach against trash teams.

I'd like to see a little more of MacEwen in a larger role. I’m not fine with it. But i feel like green is giving him false hope that he can be a top 6 player. His role needs to be a bottom 6 energy guy. As soon as he accepts that role and stops thinking he’s a skilled offensive player, the sooner he can simplify his game and play effectively. Or he doesn’t play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never figured out if he is aware how much of a floater he can be. I trust the coaching staff is playing back video to him showing how much ice he's melting just standing still out there. 4 minutes ago, guntrix said: Imagine being on a 2-year show me contract, getting a golden opportunity to play with the team's top forwards to start the season, and playing like that. But just wait till we get to the Roxy! 5 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: He's a third line player. Its his 6th season. He's only 1 year younger than Bo. We need to stop holding onto this.

Trebreh Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Gaudette looks stronger on his feet, making some plays and good forechecker. I wouldn't mind seeing him bumped up the top line. put Sutter to center the 3rd with Roussel and Motte create a checking line. Demote Jake to the 4th to wake him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross bar, broken sticks. Some are McDavid homers. I'm not one of them, that's all. He's only as great as his team's results because it is a team game and sometimes they fail, miserably. And he gets to own that part too. I hate his whining, doesn't fare well with me. I don't for a second dispute his talent...he's amazing. But I don't care, that's all. Not into arguing...hockey's back and it's not why I do it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Everyone knew the Oilers were gonna come back strong. It was always going to take Demko standing on his head. You don’t shut out McDavid and then not expect him to come back with a performance like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergioMomesso Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I hate to say this but LE21 might be an upgrade over Jake atm. Louie could of helped on the pk at the very least. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the perfect PP coach against trash teams. is this confirmation bias or do the numbers bear it out? and then how does it compare to the rest of the league (because, uh, yeah, teams are going to.do better against worse defenses)?
