And this win will start a 10 game winning streak! Your optimism is relentless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no, do you have to put 5 guy one the ice? maybe 4 on 4 gives us a better scoring chance, its more like OT. I wish I were kidding. They have actually looked better at 4 on 4 than on the PP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was on a team with just a decent powerplay things would be much different. Or one that can generate 2nd assists for him at 5 on 5. Those pts are missing as well. OEL has been fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks-12 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think it’s time to change things up. New forward lines should be: Hoglander - Pettersson - Garland Miller - Horvat - Boeser Pearson - Dickenson - Podz Bailey - Lammi- Chaisson and Pods should be on the PP.

Just saying. King though is bland...no kick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve got a play off the rush go for it! Don’t turn back just so you can pass it around the perimeter and lose the puck. yeah. Just drive it to the net.

We'll be okay 5v5, but our horrifyingly bad special teams are going to cost us the game. Also, we'll give up the first goal and our faceoff percentage will be horrendous. Crazy, I know. Looks like a couple powerplay goals against as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not an upgrade at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 OK, I'm going to my happy place now...bring some good energy into the thread.

There is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution to pp/pk problem...take a penalty 2 seconds into every powerplay. Gives us no powerplay time but also increases the pk's chances of killing the penalty off to improve our pk percentage. Brilliant! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The bottom line is that King’s teams are stinking up the joint and in the professional leagues you don’t get a lot of rope. That said, he’s inherited a PP that’s been clunky for a few years despite having some high end parts and he’s missing his best PK’ers in Sutter and Motte. Still gotta improve in a hurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
