They were very far and few between... and outside of the last Chicago game, never for a full 60 minutes.Aaronp18 wrote:We saw flashes.donlever wrote: I'll venture a guess that the local team looked nothing like any of that this season past.
None of which were in the playoffs!
The only other game that comes to mind was the Kings game they won 5-2.Eddy Punch Clock wrote: They were very far and few between... and outside of the last Chicago game, never for a full 60 minutes.
Most of the games we did win were on the back of one of the goalies.

They looked good in two (partial) games this year?
Wow.
Playing their asses off for AV eh?
Let's play a game and guess some of the excuses:
Luo and Schneids both here caused issues
Kes hurt
Other injuries
Refs
Ballards fault
To small
Not tough enough
Coaching makes to many changes to lines
Don, honestly they looked great in those two games against Chicago and LA that others are talking about.donlever wrote: They looked good in two (partial) games this year?

I honestly don't think any excuses fly this year. Last year they were "tired", in years previous injuries were the excuse.donlever wrote: Let's play a game and guess some of the excuses:

This is very troubling, and points to major leadership issues which is why the first move has to be to fire the entire coaching staff. Then the core "leadership" group needs to be examined, remoulded, rebuilt, added to, whatever.
If you were going to pick a year to move core guys for 1st rounders(while they still have some value---ahem... Flames)...this would be the one. An exceptionally deep draft(supposedly) looms ahead and sometimes it takes an honest eye from management to recognize when your goose is cooked. This would also be an admission of failure, so this course of action likely doesn't happen without a change at the top.donlever wrote:Yeah.herb wrote:

My view from afar looks like trouble to me.
Sedins aging (when do they hit the can't get it done wall like Naslund, Linden et cetera), Kesler injury prone (?), minimal farm depth, kinda smallish non-aggro group, coaching staff good but played out here, some shitty contracts to deal with and a new cap coming...
It seems like it's closing in on last call and the Canucks might just be going home alone.
Again.

Well, colour me optimistic, but this neurotic Canucks fan doesn't quite think this group (i.e. the Sedin era) is done yet!donlever wrote: Yeah.
