24K Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Think pp really need less skill on it. The skill player trying to be way too cute. Get some less east west player forcing them to shoot the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply cannot beat the big heavy contenders. We'll beat Seattle and then lose again to Boston Saturday night to further prove this point. Playoffs are a completely different animal. You play the same team again and again and it’s all about adapting and out working the opponent. There’s no teams taking advantage of teams who played the night before or at weird times with travel. All tonight’s game told me is that the Canucks match up pretty well with the AVs. We could have easily won that game with a bounce. Home ice may have even gotten us those extra calls.

Only ones left are west coast, phoenix and a one-off in winnipeg for last game. Had a good consistent run but powerplay, pens and good teams have beat us up plus joshua and soucy out. Things to work on: 1) Powerplay - setup is ok but the avs showed us how to move in after setup, really simple but it works better than endless passes. Need to shoot more and move pettey if he won't shoot. 2)Backup goalie - Seems like desmith needs a break, time to give arty a few. 3) Line tweaks, suter is fine defensively but he misses too much. Mik needs to stay on the 4th. We moved lazar last year, i'd move lafferty. Suter should center it. 4)Timeouts - we can tell when the canucks are in a tailspin, tocchet calls timeout for big pp chances only. Need to improve. Pretty small list but great season so far, play in seattle, regroup. Don’t think we’ve had much practice time since the AS Break. Shows on our PP. Soucy and Joshua are more important to our team than we think 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negatives: The power play is so stale. Every team recognises the drop pass from a mile away. It's not the entries that are the problem. It's what we are doing when we are in the zone. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had more than enough time set up and looks at the net to take shots but it’s like they have no interest in shooting unless it’s a perfect cross ice pass or perfectly placed one timer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it’s my payback for benching him in fantasy. Long season. Light one up with me -Guadeloupe Jones How has he been subpar? He was at this year's all-star game.

This is why I think the pp need worse players on it where they don't have the skill to do all these passing. We need a skill down on the pp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Nux played 58 games, higest in NHL. Fatigue will catch up to you, and it's showing. Still #1 in NHL although a few teams have a couple of games in hand. Need a reset and get back to W. Can't let it turn into a long streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Knucklhd Posted February 21 Popular Post Share Posted February 21 I find it amusing how a team at the top of the standings, who are having an incredible, yet unexpected season, gets trashed by their fan base. This team is fine, it is slumping, it happens. They have things to work on, so does every team. They have played great all year and continue to bounce back. We are going to the playoffs, which anyone would have been happy with before the season started. Enjoy the ride and look forward to playoff hockey!! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not worth more $$$ than McJesus or Mckinnon, which is what everyone expects he'll get on his new contract! They can cash him out before they ever pay him more than them two and a number of others. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
