Is he going to let little brother show him up? I'd like at least a little of that to shine through with Jordie. I want some of that warrior spirit here.

The Canucks are 3rd overall in goals for. The 2 problems are keeping the puck out of our net and Petey’s production. He’s our weak link in the top 6 right now. You are the weakest link. Sorry, your name. Had to make a dad joke to cheer me up. Too much CDC after a loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 What are the Canucks goalies save percentage on breakaways this season? Demko was not the problem tonight, but I feel that every breakaway this season has ended up in the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is always giving up the puck and putting teammates in compromising situations. At least this year he has. Agreed. Did he train this offseason?

Zhukini Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Happy with the effort and have accepted Vancouver won’t be in the playoffs. I’ll watch games until the players figure that out and stop trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I saw Hog sort of throw his hands up as he got up and it's really important that if he's giving it his all out there that his team gives some back to him. Support these young studs who give you a chance to win. Don't let all the air out of their tires and have them feeling defeated. Show up for them (Petey and Quinn have gone through it too). I am not over this. Hell hath no fury. Sigh. I hate this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are stuck on one and two goals with no assists and have played a majority of the games. The top players , Pettersson and Miller have low stats for first line players. The stats don't lie. The roster the way it's built isn't good enough. Agree with you. Thats why i keep saying we need Podz and Hogs to keep developing. With the playing time 649 has been getting, they have been completely subpar. Compare them with the elite teams in the league and its not even close.

Scheifle made a nice move but I was hoping for Demmer to stop that one. Great effort and the Jets took advantage of the officiating tonight.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough = Kurtenback, Smyl, McIlhargey, Cox, Gino, Brashaer and ? We have several guys who are poor skills, unenergetic and not tough. What the hell are they doing taking a roster spot? Tough = Rosaire Paiement, Curt Fraser......and, they could also put up the points. Paiement - Canucks '71-'72: 34/28; pim 152, +13. Fraser - Canucks '78 -'83: 348 g.p; 92/114; pim 651 Put 2 of them on this team and NO-ONE would be messing with our stars. JB - please find some Paiement and Fraser clones.

Coconuts Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Cluminati* said: Pearson with 18:12 of ice-time while Virtanen had 08:00. Not sure what Pearson did to deserve so much more than Jake, but I thought our shotgun was more visible than Tanner. Sutter with 15:25 vs Beagle with 7:32. Both not really visible, but at least Jay throws a few hits out there and wins more draws as opposed to Sutter. Green has been consistent with giving guys like Sutter, Pearson and Roussel extra ice-time or a slot in the lineup when they really don’t deserve it. Something needs to be addressed here. Pearson has a history of being relatively productive alongside Bo during his tenure, during tight games like today's you're gonna want your top guys out there often. We can't play Petey's line the whole game. Would like to see more of Jake though, I agree, if he doesn't get a bit more rope to turn things around it's unlikely he will. Though he's running out of time I think. I thought Sutter was fine tonight, there were a number of times I noticed him being involved in the offensive zone. His drawing a penalty in the offensive zone springs to mind. He also would have been eating up some of those PK minutes. I'm not as prepared as some others to dump on him, he performs his role well most nights. I'm actually a little surprised Beagle didn't play more, but we were pushing for a goal most of the night. Didn't really notice Rouss much. But the reality is until we have cap come off during this offseason and next we've gotta use the pieces we've got. We're admittedly missing Motte's hustle and I'd like to see what Hawrlyuk can do. I'm skeptical of Green too, but he doesn't have much in the way of offensive depth pieces if Jake and Adam can't get off the schneid more often.

Popular Post Junkyard Dog Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2021 I am willing to bet if we had a really solid veteran physical presence that would answer the bell and lead us physically it would help push guys like Horvat/Virtanen/Mac/etc to up their physicality to another level knowing they have someone solid to follow. I do think we need a couple more guys on top of that though. It REAAALLLLY sucks about Ferland since he was that veteran physical leader we needed. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Can anyone tell me why Eriksson is still playing when Hawryluk is back healthy now?? Eriksson always looks sluggish and unmotivated in most shifts... Just really hard to watch! He simply doesn't seem interested in creating offense are all!

He would benefit from a veteran physical leader( ike Ferland) as would others. These players need a solid veteran physical guy to follow. Sucks about Ferland but we need to find this sort of player eventually. Edited February 20, 2021 by Junkyard Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
