As I watch another useless powerplay, I ask myself, isn’t it racist to always use white ice.
Why not black ice? With a nice neon green puck?
Or, brown ice? Maybe a yellow puck?
I think my mind is wandering as I try to focus on another boring, failed powerplay.
I’m sad.
Special teams for the Canucks need plenty of work. It's not as though they haven't had the time, they have. No cohesion whatsoever.
Has to fall mostly on the coaching staff.
Don't recall many games where they've been outshot, out-chanced or out-scored badly. But the special teams both rank near the bottom of the league as well as FO%. Not going to be great when you don't start with the puck.
The team is actually decent at regular strength, but the last 7 goals surrendered were all on PK, while the PP is good for giving the opposition breakaways and odd-man rushes.
The top 6 have been mediocre to down-right awful, but most everyone on the team (with a few exceptions) have been playing hard.
I would say it's more on the guys behind the bench. They're just not NHL competent.
