Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 10 minutes ago, Conscience said: Needed to trade for a couple veteran bangers for the 4th line instead of the lindy trade. Had high hopes for lindy but losing kuz might have messed up the teamchemistry. kuz plus a couple Duhaime/greenways would look real gud rn No, the team would have lost 8-4 instead of 6-3. Kuz is a great shooter. But does jack all else. What bothers me, he really either doesn't get forechecking, or struggles to do the simple things. All he had to do was cut off lanes, and passes. In fact you'd think he'd want to do that because if he steals the puck, he can be off to the races and score. No one was asking him to hit, or fight. They just wanted him to be better on puck possession, and be more responsible defensively. Besides he wasn't scoring when we traded him. He's a fun, nice guy. But that also doesn't win games. Bottom line we keep getting glaring reminders that you can't fix the defence overnight. I still say the mix isn't right. And the Canucks struggle against the bigger, heavier teams. I want to like Cole, but he and Chaos Giraffe just are so inconsistent. I'll take the rookie mistakes of Juulsen, over the brain cramps of Myers and Cole. I really hope we move on from Cole and Myers next year. They might be great guys, and good team-mates, but man. They just can stink up the joint at times. 1 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we should have LTIR'd Myers and used that added space on another scorer but we actually have respect for the game so I understand why we didn't.

Popular Post canuck73_3 Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 1 hour ago, JayDangles said: Stop pointing at other teams and look just at this team... your excuses seem to just be silly. It's not that the team lost. Of course they will lose... it's that they are playing pretty bad lately, at all ends of the ice. They are also playing bad when they squeak out wins too. If you can't see that the team is playing completely different hockey than they were in January I guess there's no explaining it. It's not our opponents it's the canucks. This team is not playing like they are ready for the playoffs and it's showing for a lot of folks. Maybe listen to Toccs interviews.. does he sound like a coach who is impressed with how his team is playing? This happens every year though, playoff teams take the occasional night off after locking in. This is nothing new 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 3 hours ago, Dom said: Höglander-Pettersson-Lindholm Mikheyev-Miller-Boeser Joshua-Blueger-Garland Podkolzin-Suter-Lafferty Run with this. PDG slots for Lindholm until he returns. It's the best lines we have IMO. People will call me crazy, but I still truthfully believe the Kuzmenko trade killed this team. I agree 100% Not only did we lose a 40 goal scorer - kuz who everyone loved but we wrecked the PP and changed the dynamics in the locker room and threw away 2 draft picks and two prospects for another old washed up swedish p/t rental, which this team can't seem to resist anchoring itself with after 35 years of doing so time and time again with the same morbid results. When will we learn! Edited April 3 by RU SERIOUS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just 1 bad game but numerous games since the Kuzmenko trade/all star break, even the ones we won since then were sqeekers. We have only won 2 games since in convincing fashion, unlike the first half of the season. That's why everyone is so concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
