On the other hand, Nashville has been on fire so they seem like the tougher team to play. That being said, we are 3-0 against Nashville and 1-2 against LA. BUT we have to play at PRE All Star game levels to win against either team. Playing POST All Star game level we won't win anything. Time to get our game together - especially our Speciality teams! Nashville has cooled off a bit lately so I would prefer them over a stifling and boring LA brand of hockey. Yes, we do have to get back to our pre-all star play to have any success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tide has turned; we are now going to be in control and the prissy, entitled McWhiners are going to lose their shit and take a massive dump of penalties. Refs don't like that diving, complaining, prima-donna crap. Refs like Us! Pro hockey players playing the game the right way, and tough. I know what refs like I know what refs like Refs like Us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I don't want us to play LA is that I didn't wait nearly a decade to watch a boring low event style of hockey for the playoffs. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us why they would do that given his play and the team’s position at that time? I am seriously interested to know your view in detail.

Popular Post RU SERIOUS Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, AnotherCanucksFan said: I agree that Lindholm doing well in the playoffs will make it a win. He will have to really turn around his Canucks experience to make that happen. That could be the understatement of the year! So far I don't think any "Normal" Canuck fans out there even come close to thinking we got fair value for Lind- in exchange for our 1st Round Draft Pick, a 3rd or 4th Round Draft pick, Two Defensive prospect (one of them very promising), a 40 Goal scorer from last year (that everyone loved - and got more goals last night with the flames that Lind-has all year with us) and our reputation. All of which we threw away for a guy that looks like a 3rd/4th Liner and why Tock-it dumped him down there. There's no doubt he'll be gone with Mik, Cole, Aman and a few others next year and "chalked up" as a bad trade. Even if he somehow suddenly "lights it up' in the playoffs, I doubt they'll pay a guy $5,000,000.00 for a 3rd/4th line faceoff guy next year that is only at 50% (according to official stats and not rose coloured glass wearing fans that think he is the second coming of christ). 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyBoeser Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I don’t care if we lose to the Flanes and Jets as long as we win tonight in regulation!! 5-1 even if it’s 2-1. DeSmith Better play like he was earlier 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said keep Cole, because he was playing solidly, but for awhile he's not been doing well in pressure situations. Let's see how he handles the playoff pressure. Mik has played better the past few games, but he needs to get some goals. Aman hasn't really given me any impression this year. He's not a negative, but he hasn't stood out either.

Popular Post Miss Korea Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 34 minutes ago, Optimist Prime said: Totally. 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. That's a bit harsh. Kuzy developed a wonderful locker room reputation here and in Calgary. He just doesn't have the right skillset for a fast-paced forechecking team like ours. He waived a NTC to go from a first place team to a rebuilding team. He's a team player - just not the right fit. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think players would love to get that divisional banner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Everyone loves Kuzy but sometimes being a likeable guy isn’t enough. I’m glad this team can make those kinds of necessary decisions to build a team with an identity. It’s about coaches and players being aligned in a style of play. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RU SERIOUS Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 (edited) 53 minutes ago, Bure10Kuzmenko96 said: 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. You should rephrase that. "He was given every opportunity to succeed here - UNDER TOCKETS ONE SIZE FITS ALL SYSTEM". Kuz was/is a free wheeling offensive machine that obviously could not meet Tock-it's 2-way expecations of being defensive as well as offensive but that did not warrant throwing away a 40 goal scorer that was key on our PP and line with EP40 just because of that. We have at least 4-5 other players that can't or won't play defensive hockey in our end and they are stlll around. BB6 is the first guy that comes to mind and why does he get to stay and Kuz go? All Brock can do is shoot. He's slow, can't pass, stickhandle, backcheck and can't drive into the offensive zone like Kuz could but simply skates upto the offensive blue line and dumps the puck in 100% of the time and peels off because he's afraid to get rubbed out along the boards. Seems there is a double standard! Edited April 13 by RU SERIOUS 2 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Breadnbutta Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 So much kuzmenko bs. Oh he was such a likeable guy. This team for 54 years has put likeable guys on a pedestal, kuzmenko, the sedins, linden, boudreau etc. So much bs about what it takes to be a canuck, involvement with the community etc etc. While all that is nice and admirable it doesn't mean fuck all for wins. I love our cutthroat management. Do whatever it takes to win. Fire the likeable coach, trade the likeable guy, be harsh and brazen in the media. Do whatever it takes. To. Win. A. Cup. 1 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
