Hamonic - get ur act together & join your  team. 

 

Missing a top-D-man is going to kill ‘em on the road early, last change and all. 
 

Anyone want to trade for a hi-maintenance player, who just might   leave Canada now? 


I’m at a loss to understand the level patience he’s expecting for a guy who says he’s not opting out of playing for a season.
 

Is this a “rope-a dope” thing, where IF  the team scrapes into the play-offs…Sutter, Motte, & Hamonic will emerge post-trading deadline to give the  Canucks over-cap talent & depth to utilize in the post-season.


If only.,,

What?  That makes zero sense.  

 

As does freaking about about lack of goals in a preseason where your two best offensive players are unsigned.  One where you're trying out youngsters with low potential and fringe players.

lol after winning the cup in back to back year playing more games than anyone else in the league? they earned the right to rest as much of their player as possible so even if they lose every game it's no big deal they have the pedigree and record to back it up. Canucks? ok so no EP and Hughes is ur excuse for the rest of the team getting shutout every 2/3 period in the preseason? last i checked other teams plays without their top players every 2-3 games in the preseason too and yet they are still scoring 3-4 goals per game. canucks are the 2nd/3rd lowest scoring team in the preseason. ok fine doesn't matter like u said coz it's preseason. last game of the preseason we couldnt' score against the oilers till the last 3mins of the game and they were missing all their top players while we have almost a full ineup. this game again we can't score in the first 2 period u don't think it's a problem starting the game with chiasson on the top line and on your top PP? so if we get shut out again whats your excuse? EP only played 2 games in the preseason? most star players only played 2-3 games in the preseason some even less. why do they work? coz their coach doesn't mess around with what works and don't break up lines that have chemistry. what do we do? we break up every single line that have chemistry put one of ur best player last year in hoglander to play the 3rd line while having PTO plugs like chiasson on ur top line

Burroughs is the least of our problems.  He’s actually playing well.  Our 3rd D pairing is not the issue tonight at all.

We just can't capitalize, we've had chances. We've had powerplays and we've looked pretty sloppy out there.

Efforts been good, sloppy here and there (Hughes and EP in particular). PP could be better…but I like a bunch of stuff we are doing. May not win but there are things to take with us to the next game.

 

Mike Smith slamming the door on us is hard to reconcile though.

Agree. I missed the first but loved what I saw from the new guys. Garland, Dickinson and Burroughs all gave me moments where I thought “who was that” for positive reasons.
