Re: Should the Canucks become a more DEFENSIVE team?
The reason the Sedins go to the walls is to draw defenders to them, and clear the slot. There is no point in driving everything into shin pads and players collapsing all around the net. YES, we play a perimeter game because we want to draw the defenders into a corner, move it around them, and get a...

Re: GDT: Canucks vs Coyotes - 19:00PST on SNET-P
^ Some of the teams above the Canucks in the standings have probably produced points at an unsustainable rate so far. Consider that Phoenix is currently on a 105 point pace. Historically, about about 95 points has gotten teams the 7th or 8th seed in the Western Conference; if that rings true again,...

Re: Should the Canucks become a more DEFENSIVE team?
In my opinion, it is largely due to the fact that the Canucks don't get many good looks/chances in the slot area. Sure - they get a lot a ton of shots and do have a pretty high puck possession percentage, but they still have an extremely difficult time penentrating the slot area. Why? Because - the...

GDT: Canucks vs Coyotes - 19:00PST on SNET-P
This is the very first time I have actually felt even a twinge of anticipation regarding a game against the Coyotes. It never mattered to me when we played them, who gives a shit about a hockey team in the desert that can't even fill half their arena. But tonight it matters, this is a 4 point game f...

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Edler out indefinitely, Alberts slots in.. :o Can see what life will be like on the Canucks without the mighty Alexander Edler. Garrison Tanev Hamhuis Bieksa Stanton Alberts Although I'd 100x prefer to see Corrado called up, I think he alongside Garrison would be a deadleh combo. Yeah, replacing Ed...

Re: Canucks News and Notes
That being said what I can't really recall is hearing of a prospect signed in the middle of a season like this. Given that USA Hockey just named their final WJC training camp roster and Cassels was not on it, one has to wonder whether this contract was seen as a vote of confidence and a bit of a co...

Re: World Junior Selection Camp Roster
Personally I think that any junior player who leaves his home continent to go play and develop should be exempt from the junior tournaments. I mean really, do the Canadian coaches who are developing these kids get to notch a goal for their own country whenever they score for Sweden (or any other co...

Re: GDT: Dec 3: Canucks embarrass Preds - 5pm - SNet
Luongo totally embellished both plays and it worked. The first one shouldn't have even been a penalty. If that's the case, then the Canucks (players and fans) have no right to bitch if and when the refs screw us in the playoffs. Hopefully, Torts has a nice little one-on-one chat with Luongo and the...

Re: Trades and rumours 2013-14
I think if Kane is available it's worth the risk to try to get him, because of his talent alone, plus he'll grow up(mature) eventually. It might help Kane in this regard to be back home close to mom and dad again. And closer to that sweet sticky icky BC Bud... :mex: Well that can only help him to c...

Re: Canucks News and Notes
Honestly, as silly as this may sound, I would actually reward David Booth with that spot tonight based on the way he's played the past few games. One of the first things you've said that I absolutely agree with. That's cool, but I just don't see your logic in thinking that the Jets would accept a b...
