I'm not advocating for losing any games, and I'm not trying to be cock and insinuate there are any easy opponents in the playoffs, but What team do people think we have a better chance at beating? Nashville or LA. Right now we're drawing Nashville who are looking pretty scary. If we drop to the Oilers then it's LA, the most boring group of divers I've ever seen. Seems like we're up against it pretty tough either way. Bring them all on 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the best argument you can come up with is "Kuzy had a sophomore slump", this is chess vs. checkers here. You haven't identified a single offensive/defensive scheme Tocchet has used, and you haven't identified which position Kuzmenko played in any of them. Since I already mentioned the forecheck and o-zone formations, what is the defensive scheme Tocchet uses in our own zone? Not impressed with your reading comprehension either. Do you think toc got the most out of kuz? yes or no Kuz was sold at an all time low and that cant be denied. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What defensive scheme does this team use in our own zone? It's a simple question and if you're going to insult other people, it should be extremely easy to answer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 36 minutes ago, Gawdzukes said: The definition of one dimensional. 23 goal scorer and a massive whole defensively. This guy is little better Rob Schremp, or Anthony Duclair. Here's a list of the goal scorers at and around him. Here is a list of goal scorers in his range. He is by far the most useless player besides the goals. Worst +/- besides Bjorkstrand, and Giroux. The guy just plays to score goals. Has zero concept of winning hockey in the NHL. but he's as a good a goal scorer as Benn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bob Long Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 I don't expect a win tonight, too much league benefit to it not happening. But it would be funny. TBH I'm finding a hard time caring. We've got home ice round 1, by far the most important round to have it. We know its either LA or Nashville, each option has its +'s and -'s. Biggest factor imo for round 1 is our execution. I don't think it really matters which option we get, on paper we're better than both, and its up to our guys to bring it every shift. 1 2 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bure10Kuzmenko96 Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 9 hours ago, Conscience said: Curios what other dimensions u think kane and kuch have besides offense because apparently winning teams dont have any purely offensive players. Hes succeeding now isnt he, when he actually is given the opportunities to succeed, which he wasn't here. I love Kuz and even got a jersey, but he was given every opportunity to succeed here he just didn't take it. He is not a defensive player and it showed here in Vancouver and now in Calgary. He's succeeding because Calgary is out and tanking. They don't care about the defensive structure because they're out and he can be one dimensional again. 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz was sold exactly on time he needed to be sold.Pain would be if we traded some younger players instead of him.Clearing his salary is important too.Steep price?Maybe,but that is another story.

Half Kuzmenko's CGY points are on the Power Play because no one else in CGY is sucking up all that oxygen with the man advantage. To have 22 points in 26 games and still be minus10? lol... guys not destined for longevity in the league. I don't see a team player or a coachable player, just a russian player looking to score. Watch out ladies. hehe. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal_thecup Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 4 minutes ago, Moeknows said: No system should be so totally rigid as to stiffle creativity False assumption leads to false conclusion; do you really believe Rick Tocchet has 'stifled' the Canucks creativity? Tonight is Rick-Tock's Real Coming Out Party; when he stops up The Coil in their own barn, we will see who's shit is jacked up. Next game we can see how the Calgary's Creative Kuzmenkos hold up against Tocchet's Team System. Tonight its Crush the Coil! Mash the McDonna! Dunk the Dry Saddle! Kick the Krap outta the Kane! And, let Darling Darnella use all his natural talent to yet again make a big fool of himself and Cost the Coil the win, first place, home ice advantage in the playoffs, in short, everything! Down Goes Darnella! Down Goes Darnella! Ricky Ticky Tocchy for the Adams!

Inkidu Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 3 hours ago, Conscience said: No I clearly mentioned deployment of players and different roles. Not saying Kuz didn't have a slow start, sophomore slumps are common, just saying toc definitely didn't help and further reduced his value, to which point Alvin was forced to trade him at all time low value. And sorry Im not impressed by users claims of random levels of coaching experience in completely different sports. They coached team sports, so they can speak to how an individualist can weaken a system. 2 hours ago, Boudrias said: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDangles Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, AnotherCanucksFan said: Kuzzy is -11 but Calgary as a team is 23rd in GA so it's a general team problem. Lindholm is -7 on a team that is 6th in GA. Not sure I'd call that a "rest my case" moment. Do you know a site that ranks each player on a team based on plus / minus? What is vancouver as a team since the lindholm trade? I would imagine our +- since the All Star has plummeted as a team also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single player, without a NTC should be an option at or before a trade deadline. They didn't trade him at peak value, then signed him for 2 years- then traded him at low value. One of their few mistakes, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
