Rick_theRyper Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 4 minutes ago, stawns said: When have the van-la games happened? Now when were the games against the oilers We both know the answers to that. No need for mute questions. Why is a bad start by the oilers at the beginning of the season making the fact a fringe NHL playoff team whooping their asses less impressive? It doesn't negate the fact the Canucks were all season a top 10 team and they can beat them again. And again Demko in makes it even more so a possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus isn’t on earlier this season. Their focus is Saturday. And they’ve been playing well. The Canucks? Not as much. The only thing I can do to help the team is maintain a positive attitude. Vancouver can beat any of these teams in a 7 game series, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won some we shouldn't have early in the season because of Demko and surprisingly we've lost some we should have won without him lately. I think this team and beat a team like that LA team, they can beat the oilers Again! So let's fucking go baby! On to the next one! Absolutely. A great, special season. This is the beginning of our window. The naysayers have already been proven wrong. Sweet relish! Edited April 11 by Dr. Crossbar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertuzzi44fan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Something is deeply wrong with their scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Since March the Canucks are 10-5-2 which gives them a Point Percentage of .647 which is actually on the median between their March/April performance the last two seasons when the games were meaningless. So I would say the results so far has been ok all things considered. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckDownUnder Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Good to see EP seeming to ramp up again. Bad to see losing a point when really needed. With the scoring seeming to be coming back and Demko on the horizon, looking positive overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the point in pretending we weren’t dominant for 2/3’s of the season and just good with a couple losing streaks since? Why do they get credit after being abysmal to start the year yet, you don’t give the Canucks credit for being great most of the season? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 28 minutes ago, AnotherCanucksFan said: Anyone know why Canucks are playing Silovs over DeSmith? Anyone know why Demko isn't playing in a game yet? How many games has he missed at this point? Anyone concerned that it will be very hard for him to jump into a playoff game without playing for a month? The Canucks need to look themselves the mirror and look at the cold hard reality of their pre and post All Star game stats. When the All Star break happened, fans and critics were saying that it was time to consider the Canucks a legitimate playoff contender team. Over the first 49 games Canucks were a .673 team, but over the last 30 games Canucks have been a .500 team. How did we drop by almost 18%? What happened between pre and post All Star game to turn us from a playoff contender to an average team. Had we played the way we've played over a full season, we'd not be in the playoffs, so can we find our Pre All Star swagger or have we just settled to our true level now? https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/winning-percentage Can we change our trajectory or will Oilers just keeping moving up while we keep moving down as the trajectories have been since the All Star break? I'd imagine the Canucks will be tight and the Oilers will be lose, because both teams had very different post All Star game trajectories. We've been around a .500 hockey team for about 30 games and Edmonton has been a .600 team since the All Star break. Edmonton Oilers 18-15-1 record between October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024 29-15-1 between October 1, 2023 and February 4, 2024 30-9-4 since January 1, 2024 19-9-4 since February 4, 2024 Canucks 23-10-3 record between October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024 33-11-5 between October 1, 2023 and February 4, 2024 25-12-6 record since January 1, 2024 15-11-4 record since February 4, 2024 https://www.statmuse.com/nhl Maybe has something to do with trading a team favourite and fun swagger guy Kuzmenko for the dullest player in the league? Even if it's not purely personnel, the shakeup was not needed and hurt us. Terrible season changing trade. We needed a depth guy to complement our stars, not a false star to change the makeup of our team. I think we would have slowed down a bit regardless but not this much. The trade is supposed to make us better, not worse. Monahan or Tanev would have really thrust this team forward. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ignorance around Lindholm here is staggering, he was solid to great defensively tonight and was 50% on faceoffs his first game back with a couple scoring chances and set up a couple chances too. Literally nothing wrong with his game today and fans still shit on him. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss of Kuzmenko's personality in the locker room...or...... being without your bloody vezina caliber goalie for weeks on end which puts them into the position of playing a career backup night after night only to be relieved by your AHL third stringer on some nights. Come on man, its not the Lindholm trade. And wait a minute --- what was their record in March? 8-3-1? Edited April 11 by Darius 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
