Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I agree with this post. I think the Canucks are trying not to spend everything before the playoffs so they have something left at the end of a long run. We do not want the President's Trophy this year. We want more and considering this is a better team than last year, I think some of it is simple p...

Terrible effort by Vancouver tonight. Our blueline is a shambles right now. In the last 2 games there have been at least a dozen incidents where an attacking forward has danced right around the Canuck defenseman and gone in for a chance on net. If it was once or twice and Datsuyk or Patrick Kane, w...

I thought so as well, they were highly complimentry of CS.

Other that CS the rest of the team is still in Hawaii.

ice = bad

I cannot believe how many players are falling down.

I think Ballard is fighting to show AV he has more to give, he seems really pissed these last 2 games.

CH - another nice game too bad they didn't put him on for the last minute to get his third goal but I guess a regulation win is more important.

Good then maybe we wont see Rome out there anymore, Alberts is an OK depth D man but not 82 games. Once Salo is back I would like to see the pairing of Tanev and Ballard again. Now we need Bieksa to wake up and Edler to play like he can, at the end of the day I do believe a lot of the current issues...

Rome on the ice for the first goal and this is after he was a - 3 in his last game. AV show time after time why this team will never win with him as a coach. He cannot hold players at different levels and expect them to play for him. Rome should be the 8th guy on the ice, I would prefer Tanev at 14 ...

Take your pick:

a) blame it on coming back from an injury
b) just a bad game
c) blame it on Ballard

He's still better than Alberts, Sulzer and little AV (Rome) . Is he a 4.2 million per year player.........? Absolutely not, but for whatever reason he is being sandbagged by the coaching staff here and is held to a different standard than the rest of the defence corps. The way AV and co are fucking...

He must be close though.

Sunday is the Lords day of rest and worship, that could factor into his decision.

Will be interesting to see how long Salo is out for.

If Ballard is gone would RD ever post again on this site?

Nice photo of Lucic leaving the ice http://media.zenfs.com/en/blogs/sptusnhlexperts/491196653.jpeg That's why the call on the ice was the correct one. He's at the bench if not on it and then leaves to join an altercation. It's in the rule 70.1 that he can not do so even if he was a legal guy on the...

Did Don Cherry say anything on coaches corner, I checked and it is not posted yet?

Ballard usually is the culprit... :P Ballard created a glorious scoring chance for the Bruins by getting a lone Bruin in front our net the puck with a great work ethic along the boards. RD your a laugh, you probably have a note pad when you watch the game and any mistake Ballard makes your probably...

what a prick that marchant... someone has got to adjust that guy

Is that a suspension type of hit? I would think it is worth a game or 2 for intent to injure but then I am wearing nuck coloured glasses.
