Special teams? what special teams... Almost waiting for a goal to be conceded at every single PK. Thought they brought in a coach to help with the PK... Fire the lot... useless. Can't say I blame QH for losing it... there is zero payback to anyone, who nail one of our players... Green and Benning I'm looking at yous... where the hell is the muscle? And finally, too bad Kadri didn't get hit harder into the post by Miller... POS he is... Oh well guess this is the season gone, so wonder when Green and the rest of the garbage coaches get sacked... clueless. Where is the muscle? Lost in favour of AHL crap like Chaisson. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I have never seen such a stagnant PK. The Avalanche come at you with aggression. Time for Smyl and the Sedins to take over. It sounds like Smyl and Benning don't see eye to eye. Blow the team up and start gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too believe Jim Benning has given him the players to be much better than this. Cup contending? Of course not, but clearly not lottery pick team type of performance either. But if Jim Benning refuses to make changes then he has to be considered to be moved as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avs played a typical road game where they either had the lead or the game was tied most of the time. Hence, the game looked closer than it was imho.

After the $&!#ty start they pushed hard the rest of the game 5 on 5 I seen to many missed calls for my liking also that phantom call really killed them.

This had ZERO to do with missed calls or phantom calls. Penalties happen. We should be able to go a game without giving up a minimum of 2 PP goals. Blaming the refs is chumpsauce. This team sucks and didn’t play good enough to win. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I would like Aquaman to explain to the fans why they never did a proper rebuild and answer this question. Where do we go from here? Jim's had 8 years and the farm system has little in it to give hope. Will this retool go on forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Glad I didn’t watch. Too painful. What blows me away mostly is that there have been no changes. The GM is failing at his job. Things have become stale. Losing has sadly become acceptable all the way up to ownership. The only way things will change is if we all stop going to the games.

Patel Bure Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I was in attendance last night as I wanted to watch the team play just in case it was their last game together as a group. A few minor observations: 1) The biggest difference that I noticed between the Canucks and the Avs in the first period was in their passing game. Not only were the Avs making tape to tape passes at a very high efficiency rate, but the players receiving these passes were already moving forward which allowed the Avs to break out of their zone effectively and/or set up offensively. By contrast, our passes were sloppy and even if we made tape to tape passes on infrequent occasions, the player receiving the pass was often stationary, which then allowed Avalanche players to be all over our player. To me, this is indicative of a fault in the system. Do you mean to tell me that guys like OEL and Hughes aren’t capable of making fast break out tape to tape passes, and that guys like Petey, Garland, Hoglander, etc., aren’t capable of taking those passes and breaking out with speed? 2) The Canucks carried the play in the 2nd period and seemed to correct the deficiency described above. 3) The Canucks actually carried the play 5 on 5 in the second period but they obviously can’t kill a penalty for the life of them. I don’t know how accurate this observation is but to me, it seems like the Av shooters had all kinds of time to set up from the point and fire off shots. Demko’s weakness seems to be in facing long range shots and so the Avs took full advantage here. “Ready fire aim” seems to be the Avs motto on the power play whereas the Canucks’ PP method seems to be in slowly and methodically trying to set up which often ends up in us making low percentage non high danger scoring chances. My conclusion: Based on this game, I do believe that the Canucks have a team that is good enough to Atleast make the playoffs. Unfortunately, I do believe that whatever “system” we have in place on both special teams and 5 on 5 is simply not effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
