I really dont get Garland being on 3rd line. Is Green going mental playing our best scorer on the 3rd line? This seems like a huge mistake. Garland and Bo have chemistry, what is Green doing???

Miller is getting his points, but his play is iffy, and Petey & Brock are dragging down whatever line they are on, so Green's thinking is, put all 3 on the one line, if they find that old magic, great, if not, then we are no worse off

 

Hogz, Bo and Pearson have had great chemistry since Hoagie's first game last season.  Reunite them, and as they are all playing well, good things should happen

 

Next to Petey, Podz shows signs that he is an elite passer, so pair him with Garland, one of our best finishers.  Dickinson, Garland and Podz are all good forecheckers, and despite the Elf's size, that should be a heavy hitting line.  Plus, the knock against Podz seems to be that his famous non-stop motor seems to be idling at times, so who better to pair him with than the Energizer Elf. 

 

I can't read Green's mind, but I bet these are his thoughts too

The issue that this team generated so little offence can't be resolved within a couple of days. Generating more offence especially creating more scoring chances is a process. First of all Canucks have to find ways to breakout of their own zone. The transition game so far has been atrocious. Once they are in the o-zone they have to find ways to get to the inside to create more high danger scoring chances.

 

I can't see how this team is gonna score 3 or 4 goals in a game. Canucks are one of the weakest teams at even strength and at the same time have serious difficulties to score on the PP. 

 

I for myself will enjoy this night with watching the rugby match New Zealand vs. Wales in Cardiff. This is gonna be real fun to watch. 2 more hours and it's time for the traditional "Haka" of the All Blacks.

It’s sad we are still at this state in Benning’s tenure. Struggling to get goals, the injury excuse is piling up for him at the end of the year. You see teams like Carolina and Florida scoring with ease and winning 8 straight. When was the last time we won eight straight?We can’t even get more than one goal right now. We are this team who wins one and loses one and it seems to be fine with everyone in the organization. It’s been like this for the last few years. Not enough wins to be above .500. Very frustrating when we haven’t seen maturity and progression with this group.

I hope the boo's for that sack of crap Keith blow the roof off.

It's sad that these sell out players aren't standing up for their "brother"/teammate.  That their selfish stance is to protect their job rather than protect another human being.  Waste of space.

 

People slam our team for being soft but the character players we've had on board are important beyond the standings.  Sedins make me proud.  Sopel, as a former Canuck and one of the ONLY ones who stood beside Beach.  The culture in Chicago was seriously lacking in morals and ethics.  Beating up cab drivers was only scratching the surface it seems.  I'm back to really hating the Blackhawks...I take back what I said earlier.

 

Professional athletes with a sense of entitlement aren't limited to the Blackhawks...Matthews and how he treated the security guard.  We even have some of our own.  The NHL has some work to do and isn't all that they think they are...putting out statements only goes so far.  It's important that players with huge character flaws aren't able to just slide through unchecked.

I'm not surprised at all Keith and Toews are trying hard to not have their legacies tarnished. Too late now.

Yeah...good luck with that.  Your on ice accomplishments don't outweigh the fact that a player was having his life ripped apart and a sacrificial lamb in it all.  Kind of is a black mark because your focus on ice hardly seems as important as what you didn't focus on off ice.  Captain.  

 

I'm so glad we have a Captain who seems to really get that part from all accounts.

 

OK, back on track for me.   (heavy sigh at how sad this whole thing is)

yup Bo is 1st class. So was Henrik. Aqulini is smart to keep the Sedins around to keep the right kind of culture going.

 I can sorta see the logic in Bennings team. Its built for the playoffs. It would never win a Presidents trophy in a million years but it might be able to play ugly and rough western conference playoffs
