It's looking that way anyways Naaaaaaahhh Loui was 6x6 This would be an entirely different but equal kind of pain for me, losing the draft picks. That said I still hold hope Joshua stabilizes the top 9 and Lindholm bumps into the top 6 and we can get more than 1 line, or any for that matter, rolling on any given night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexanderM Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Caps are now 1 point out of a wildcard spot, fighting for their playoff lives, we are essentially coasting along, which isn't good, just means the same urgency isn't there. We do need to get our butts in gear. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB28 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I wonder if Tocchet has created a structure that doesn't let the offensive players flourish and utilize their creativity. I get he's trying to build a team that can win in the playoffs, but to me it's caused the offence to look predictable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he lets them have the power play for their creativity and that's probably the worst part of their game since the All Star Break. A decent to good power play would've won them a few more games and a record like 13-5-2 instead of 10-8-2 in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of wining faceoffs, his puck battle, and 2 way game play are huge. But these are things that a lot of people don't see on TV. There is a saying in Hockey. If you are not scoring or putting up points, you better be doing something else. He is and the points will come. 2 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does need to step up lately but crying about him like this is flat out stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 not sure why tocchet refuse to let lindholm play in the top 6.. and continue to put him in the 3rd line with garland and bluegar that's simply not working.. i mean as soon as DJ is back.. they gonna put them back together.. so where else you going to put lindholm? on ur 4th line? or are they planning to wait until DJ back prolly in april before putting lindholm on one of the 1st 2 lines and expect him to build chemistry in 1 or 2 games before heading into the playoff? we don't need lindholm taking faceoff for bleugar he's perfectly fine taking faceoff himself.. and ffs stop using EP as a net front presence on the PP.. put a big body there that can take the punishment in front of the net.. why the hell would you put EP there to take the punishment from defender and possibly get hit by shots.. Tocchet needs to watch tapes on other teams powerplay.. they play with so much pace and movement.. our pp have 0 pace and minimal movement.. it makes the sedin powerplay look like they were playing on lightspeed in comparison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoopie Plus no guarantees that 1st round pick would turn out as well. We are well aware how 1st round picks don't always pan out. I believe Lindholm is a much different person and player than Eriksson was. A proven 2 way player that is crazy strong and battles hard, rarely injured, plus year after year puts up top notch points on two different teams. Vs. a prospect and a pick. I'd say the proven player was and will be worth the risk, over a couple who knows? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCupSyndrome Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 2 hours ago, stawns said: It's quite humourous watching all the people who shouted down anyone who dared be objective, self destructing. Nothing but excuses Can't win playing about 22 mins of hockey. They'll be very lucky to get to round 2. Just enjoy getting there Was at the game, Canucks owned the play when they moved their feet but simply stopped skating in the second and early in the third. When they moved their feet, it was all Canucks. I don't get the sense that any of the lines have an identity right now. Would love to see a new lineup that provides clearer roles: EP Miller Boeser (1st line offense, need these guys going) Mik Lindholm Podz/Hogs (shut down line) DJ Blueger Garland (energy, secondary scoring) Laff Suter Hogs/Podz (energy, extra scoring) Tocc said he doesn't like the lotto line but this team needs some juice. Plus, why did they get Lindholm if not to put him in the top six. I feel like the above lineup is more balanced, provides clearer roles, and puts guys in their proper spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Fist Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 94 points is usually the ballpark to clinch 8 seed. i don't think we need a 104 points to clinch second wildcard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
