Maybe King's gotta go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am sure they are told to shoot and don’t so I would say it’s a personnel issue. They really need a dman with a bomb. I miss Salo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less shooting, harder to break past the blue line( See Calgary game), not being able to set up properly. There’s a ton of reasons and I can’t figure out why no coach deals with it as a priority.

Agreed, if we were a Colorado or a Miami team looking for that one last piece at the deadline sure.Young talented defence or nothing. Jersey has some up and comers we should kick the tires at to.

Sounds odd to say. I don't think being unselfish is the reasoning. We don't move the puck quick enough or decisively enough and we're not fast enough to skate ourselves out of trouble/into opportunities, that's why our shots are so low. Guys aren't creating the opportunities to shoot that an elite powerplay would create. As it stands now, I doubt shooting more will do much. Yeah I think we'd be slightly better off shooting more, but it won't make us anywhere close to elite. A lot of these hypothetical shots we're not taking would just go into the defenders shins and result in easy clears. It would be a much bigger issue if we were generating looks and not shooting, but we're not even generating looks. It's way more than just a mentality thing of just shooting more.

It’s weird to look around the league and just envy all these teams with 25-30 goal scorers and then look at our players with 10-15. Just seems so unfair. The scoring comes so easy for this those teams and it feels like pulling teeth to get more than 2 for ours. Why is it such a struggle in Van?

PuckTruckCanuck Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 That “Motto” line seems to be gelling very nicely. Highmore is growing on me. Lammer seems to be rounding into shape…solid line that makes sense. still noticing chances where other lines have a chance to pull the trigger, but seem to be looking for the more “cutesy” play. Shoot to score all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the thing I notice the most is that the Canucks are sitting in prime areas take the shot and... just wide. It has been a huge problem all this year and last.

a4rules Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) A healthy scratch for Petey for a couple of games will actually help him. I think he is too tentative once the puck hits his stick, he doesn't know when to shoot or pass, or just scared being hit and passes the puck too quickly to no where. Seeing a few games from the press box should help. He is just unwatchable right now and he won't return to his first 2 years of stardom anytime soon either.
