GDT: Mar 7 - Canucks in Ohio for BJ on SPAC - 4 PM

[okcanuck]

This was a new low. We're talking Columbus for fucks sake not the Shithawks or the Wings. For Christs sake Gillis do something, quit walking around with your finger up your ass.

[rats19]

We are playing some pretty disorganized horrible hockey. Surely this is being noticed by someone .......other than the fans .

[Tanti09]

We can only blame this loss on one thing. Ballard. AV needs to continue to bench him. AV needs to increase Edler's time on the ice. He's clearly our stud d-man.

Yikes - AV's go-to cards are crumbling...

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Yeah, I think we really need a centre right now. I agree, MayRay is not a centre, he should not be there; I think they're better off with Higgins down the middle cuz I think he played some C in college and with some other NHL teams. I think Lap-Dawg is being overused and he's getting exposed a bit as he's not used to being the guy to take all the key faceoffs. As common with a lot of young players that are close to making the NHL, Schroeder had a lot of spark in his few NHL games and played really well with MayRay and Hansen, but he has come back down to earth a bit. He's too inexperienced and if he's going to be stuck on the 4th line here, he's probably better off being sent back to the farm. I think I'd go with Ebbett > Schroeds right now for our 4th line. The canucks seem to want to bring Pinnozotto up soon as they were willing to waive Volpatti to make room for him, but the guy has like zero NHL experience. I guess we'll see soon what this guy can do, but can we afford to wait on him and take a chance on him? And if he can't do it or gets injured again, then what?

A fourth line that contains Schoeder, Sestito and Weise doesn't belong in the NHL.

Nor does a 2nd line featuring Mason Raymond as a centre.

I dunno if we need a major shakeup, but picking up a true centre would really help right now. Weiss would be nice, but not sure what they want and his salary is problematic. Even a rental guy would be nice right, hell give me back kyle wellwood till Kes is healthy again, then we can just put Welly on waivers or make him a healthy scratch.

Boy, last season we looked so good down the middle 1)Hank 2a)Kes 2b)Coho 3a)Manny 3b)Lap-Dawg. With 1 of them injured, 2 of them moved out and no centres coming back, it looks like shit now and we're really hurtin.

Valk just nailed it.

Team needs a shakeup. 8 regulation wins in 23 games. Not good enough.

Trade Edler and fire Vigneault!

[Rumsfeld]

While Edler has not played up to his capabilities, those who blame him for the winning goal need to view the replay. Hank had the goal scorer at centre, let him get away and then proceeded to back in and allow him to walk off the boards unchecked into the slot.

Shhhh. He's playing fantastic hockey.

[Canuck-One]

Yep they suck. The way these guys are playing the don't deserve to make the playoos. My cousin from Calgary is really sticking it to me and there is nothing I can say. This sucks.

Really?

There's nothing you can say to Flames fans right now?



Ok then.

Plus Pahlson.. Schroeder isn't cutting it now.. Maybe Ebbets would be a slight upgrade? And maybe we should quit blaming AV ? he isn't the guy responsible for personnel on the team.. Time for Gillis to get off his butt and do a deal ?

[Benjo]

At least they aren't peaking too early

Horrible game. Team looks like they have little interest.

Edler has been brutal for probably 65-70% of this season. Fuck ups at both bluelines with the puck and missing assignments and taking stupid penalties.

That being said, the winning goal tonight was not his fault alone.

Hank has had his moments, and tonight's winner was probably the most glaringly obvious brain fart of them all.

You mean Florida's Stephen Weiss who will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing wrist surgery?

Yeah.....it's his salary that's the problem.....

And we are sending who to the Jets for Wellwood as a rental?

Do your fucking homework Snoozi.

Are you thick bro? That's an indictment of GMMG. Dressing a nonsense lineup that includes six fowards who are almost no threat to score whatsoever: Booth, Kasian, Raymond, Weise, Sestito and Lapierre.

And six other forwards who aren't exactly tearing it up. Sedins are it for offensive flair, that's for sure.
