Taphouse Canuck Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 We pay Boeser and Horvat approximately the same as SJ pay for Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl. Meier is 6'1" and 220 lb and has 50 points so far. Hertl is 6'3" and 215 lbs and has 40 points. I know which 2 players I would rather have on my team.

He received almost no goal support in every game other than the win in Winnipeg. If you're going to say that having this 5th string goalie is the reason we lost, at least make sure he played poorly or was the reason they lost. The reason they lost is they couldn't score goals - not his fault. Never said it was, on the contrary... nevertheless half the team (nearly was missing), and that had a massive influence in the outcome... Again, as I said before, if the results are the same over the next 6-10 games yes than they are toast, but leat just see that be the case before we burn the house down... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko will stand on his head like the vegas series and we'll lose coz our special team blows. this team needs personel change on the ice bad. Maybe they need to change up PP1 and PP2, along with firing King(?). PP1 = Pearson Miller EP Hogz OEL PP2 = Boeser Bo Podz Garland Hughes Keep alternating the PP starts so if one unit doesn’t eat up all the PP time.

It is what is costing us the most, and what takes us down in the playoffs, if we don't. I wonder how the decreased penalties called in the playoffs affect us as we are pretty solid 5 on 5. Playoff reffing might actually be advantageous? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a last place penalty kill, 21st place powerplay which has been terrible as of late. Have missed the playoff 6 of 7 years and likely 2 years in a row now, are 26th in goals for and struggle mightily with consistency. I'm not trying to be obtuse or disrespectful - but did you actually insinuate that Poolman coming back soon will be a boost to this team??? Poolman might not even start again because he's being outplayed by Burroughs who makes 1/3 of what he does and Schenn who also makes 1/3 of what Poolman does. Saying Sutter and Poolman coming back will boost this team is kind of insane, Sutter isn't even coming back this year and is a free agent at season's end. The Canucks will not be re--signing him. This is just rose colored glasses man....It's cool you're optimistic and positive but the reason's you stated aren't even logical. You kind of cherry picked the starting point of your stat beginning with the toughest road trip of the season while we were also decimated with covid. Even then we played well in some of those losses. Conversely, I can also say they are 5-2-1 in their last 8 games as they started to get healthy again.... If they beat Anaheim and Seattle, theyll be 7-2-1 in their last 10. That's why i am inclined to look at the full 32 games under BB. To attribute it to merely a coaching bump means you havent watched this team closely enough to see a drastic difference in their play, systems etc. They are night and day different between TG and BB Edited February 18, 2022 by CanucksJay 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 1 hour ago, IBatch said: Hey i agree with this. But let's just see how it goes. We keep winning the week and Miller keeps scoring a couple things happen and both are benefiting the long run. I'm just glad they haven't brought their own big ego's into it, and are taking their time before doing anything drastic. Edit: When I say big ego's, i mean not putting their stamps on the team right away. Teams played well under Bruce, both at the beginning and during their tough part of the schedule with a lot of guys missing. So let's just see. I doubt we make the playoffs too. So does everyone. But i've seen it happen before - and if we do - well who would want to play us in the first round?! Hope it's CAL really IF it happens, but Vegas would be fine too. LA i believe is on a 94 pt pace. If Canucks go 10-4 in their next 14 heading into TDL (which i think is very doable) , they'll be at a 92 pt pace. Thats pretty close and we definitely have a good chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe explain to me how Getting Poolman back in the lineup will help. And explain how getting Sutter back will help, a player who hasn't played all season and will be a free agent this summer and will not be back with the team. There is zero evidence so far this season to say "this is for sure a playoff team".. what's this based on. And don't say "If Bruce was the coach from the beginning it would be different" because nobody knows that. You are looking at the record only, know how or why they won the games they've won. I've mentioned many times this team has indeed played better under BB, but that doesn't mean they are a playoff team and the bar was so low to begin with.
