It's affecting our draft position. Edited March 20, 2023 by Canuckfanforlife82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans here are so blinded by individual stats. We need a team that can win. Bottom line. Ok .. is management not trying to surround our future HHOF players with a strong supporting cast to make the playoffs? How is just losing going to help us make the playoffs later? Does Connor Bedard mean we will make the playoffs and win cups? Edmonton arguably has 2 top 10 all-time NHL players in McDavid and Draidatl when you take into consideration Era adjusted stats... how is it going for them? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most fans are angry about that. No, I think 'most' fans understand the issues the team has dealt with and are always happy with the wins, whether it's early season or facing elimination. Most fans just want wins, whenever they occur. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No exactly some crazy winning streak, now is it? And we were even worse the previous years of this core. Your argument that this core plays great down the stretch (because there’s no pressure) is wrong. This core is very young and now just showing how great they are and will continue to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh we were good down the stretch last year. Bruce had the forwards loosening up after Green was suffocating them. Shaw was put into position to actually run the blueline and, coupled with Demko's strong play, that made the difference. We lost Shaw in the offseason and really didn't have proper goaltending until just recently. We didn't improve the blueline at all, and Bruce's loose coaching style, which was so effective at the end of last season, became more of a hindrance with the loss of Demko and Shaw running the blueline. The idea that this is "just like last year" indicates lazy, one dimensional thinking. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar concept but different meat and potatoes Instead of Baertschi Vey Granlund Barker Sutter etc etc We have Beauvilier Kuzmenko Mikheyev Joshua Aman Kravtsov etc etc I think that Bennings plan could work it was just poorly executed. Also, Benning had an aging core and Still used this method whereas this core is hitting their prime and is still young. Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that this is "just like last year" indicates lazy, one dimensional thinking. Like last year they dropped in their draft position by having these small winning streaks. Nothing to do with the process. It's the fact a lot of these players push at the end of the year and come out flat at the beginning and are terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey will be our Captain. I'm not sure Petey is ready. I'd prefer they go even a full next season before they choose. If they absolutely had to choose a captain right now, it should be JT, and I think Petey would agree with that. Fortunately they don't have to. They have 3 strong leaders wearing the A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now actually winning down the stretch. And not only winning but in most games dominating. The last 20 games of the last 10 seasons, starting last year working back… 10-10 7-13 8-12 9-11 7-13 4-16 7-13 12-8 8-12 13-7 2 minutes ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: Are you not going to look at the 8-2-2 at the END of the year? 18 of 22 points.

Or if you want to use the last 12 like your model… 8-4 4-8 6-6 6-6 6-6 2-10 5-7 8-4 5-7 7-5 So I don’t really see where the team is “winning meaningless games every year.” I’ll give you last year if you like but one year isn’t much of a pattern. 6 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This core is very young and now just showing how great they are and will continue to be. They did though. The last 12 games they were 8-2-2. You just are choosing to go by 20 games. That 8-2-2 record put them in worst draft position. That's just a fact. I don't get what your arguing. They dropped in their draft position by going 8-2-2 at the END. The last 12 games. Like this year where they are winning, they are dropping in the draft position again. At the end. It's not hard to see the correlation here. Winning at the end when it doesn't matter.

-AJ- Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but Hughes tied the Canuck record for the most assists by a defenseman (set by himself last year) at 60 assists. One more and he'll break his own record. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This club doesn’t have a recent history of winning lots down the stretch. This year we are winning. And it’s because we are well coached and have an elite young core. We are headed for a 5-8 year period of winning! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
