Yeah I haven't liked our power play at all, no argument there.  

 

I'd like to see Garland and OEL moved up to PP1.  Maybe it's not fair to take Hughes off PP1 as he has looked good the last two games however OEL just seems more direct to me.  

I'd prefer to take either Miller or Petey from PP1 and instead of them getting the puck touches, let's see what Garland can do with the puck.  

 

Yeah our power play needs a shake up.  

I don’t disagree. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing both OEL and Hughes on the top unit at least at those times when a pp goal is absolutely necessary.

 

At this point I would absolutely love to see Garland get up to PP1. The guy doesn’t know how to stand still. Maybe it will be contagious!

 

We are starting to see why Miller typically starts strong with a new team then eventually gets big minutes only to in short order start moving down the lineup. He has lost his fire in every way other than throwing his hands in the air when a teammate makes a mistake. Doesn’t seem to give a &^@# when he makes 10 of them every game though.

So are we, Petey! We would love to see you get going on the ice. GCG!

They're certainly bad, but there has to be a possible reason that they're this bad, especially considering how much they differ from how good he normally is in the circle. The OP just provided a possible reason.

Miller seems to not give a &^@#. That’s what my eye test tells me anyway.

We’re finally back home. It’s been far too long since the boys have played here. Let’s build off last game and get another W on the win column. Let’s go boys! GCG!

Yes!

 

Garland, Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser, Hughes on PP1

 

Miller, Hoglander, Pearson, Chaisson, OEL on PP2 (if Chaisson is scratched, use Podz or maybe even go with 2D and add Rathbone.).

why keep 

pettersson on the 1st when he never shoots?

maybe some time on the second would do him some good

Media is a nightmare in Vancouver...No player should have to talk to them, if anything the captain can talk for 5 min once a week to recap the team and his own play. Otherwise let the media talk to the Coach and GM mainly

Whew that sure eases my mind about the current team playing like garbage. 
 

Are you saying these Canucks are are a sure thing to be going to the cup final?

Can't make things up if they ask those questions

3-2 Canucks tough game, Fire Green.

[Toyotasfan]

So if Dickinson is injured that slots Miller back into 3rd line centre and brings in Dowling I assume ?

I wanna see Podz score in front of our home crowd!! Is that too much to ask, Green????

Frustrating player, that's for sure.  More givaways in 6 games than Sbisa over a full season.  Can't win a D-zone faceoff.  Looks disinterested at times.

........ and yet, is tied for the team scoring lead with Garland.   But a change of PP personnel might just be the ticket for him

I hope the crowd blows the roof off the place if that happens. 
 

Rogers Arena needs to be loud for the home opener and Edmonton on Saturday.

I'm sure he gives some sort of $&!# with his contract being close to up.

He is getting his points. The difference between now and a couple of years ago is back then he got his points AND was a difference maker in other ways, mostly by giving a $&!#.

He seems to only care about getting his points now. A stark difference to his first year here.

Maybe he’s giving too many $&!#s and is just overly frustrated and thus giving up too easily?

Maybe. Still kinda concerning either way though, don’t you think?
