DownUndaCanuck Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Now's the time when you see what a good coach can really do with a defence as thin as this. OEL and Hamonic out, a 3rd pairing of all-AHLers and Schenn essentially on our top pairing when he was a 6-7th defenceman for the last few years. Let's hope our team play and defence is strong enough to help them out and of course we need Demko on his A-game. I worry about the PK really because we're going to end up with someone like Hunt out there for a while with two of our best PKers out. Hughes is going to log 25-28 minutes with ease. It's not a must-win game but boy would a 3 game winning streak be huge for this team, especially going into the next one against Carolina. This is a chance for a bit of a statement game to show the league how good we really are now we've shedded the dead weight coaches. 5-3 Canucks.

Yeah that D is just disgustingly weak. I guess another reason for Benning to be fired. If only he had hold on to Tanev. Schenn is also a first pairing D man now lol. I hope they can win but without Hamonic and OEL, doesnt look good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCon1 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 they are saying JR will put his stamp on the team by this weekend. I wonder what that means, a GM being hired or a roster move? Wouldnt mind an RHD by now since we are hurting bad on that defense with only 2 injured players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCon1 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Also from what Drance was talking about, they were searching for all the possible candidates that would be suitable as a Canucks GM one name being mentioned was MacFarland of the Avs, the other was Botterill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[This keeps nagging at me: If we love all these players, why couldn't we keep JB on the team again, maybe just not at GM, I mean WTF?] I for one had no real issue with Benning. Yeah he made some bad deals, but he redeemed himself with this offseason. Even the Tanev & Toffoli situations I can understand. Felt like he put together a much better roster than people gave him credit for, and Green + Baumer's inability to coach effectively cost JB the job. He was 2-3 pieces away from a contender imo (mostly on the back end) 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest mistake Green and Bummer made, having everyone back instead of pushing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTyrany Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Looking for a big game from Petty and Brock. They can make the difference for us if Demko keeps playing his stellar usual. My only decision tonight will be how old the Scotch should be...Bruce B has bigger choices. GCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 2-3 pieces away from a contender imo (mostly on the back end) One big flaw for Benning was inability to make the defense good and he wasnt able to do that even with Tanev then we got worst after letting Tanev go. His inability to make ua better defensively was his downfall along with hiring bad coaches. Edited December 10, 2021 by DefCon1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
