Nice to see the stats confirm the eye test on how well Sassons has been playing...Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 8:22 am Pettersson leads Canucks forwards with 11 Controlled Entries (3.66/game) over the last 3 games, 4 more than anyone else
Hard to enter the zone with possession when the D keeps going glass-and-out
There seems to be a major disconnect between the D and forwards. After Hughes it’s a miserable scene of D-mem with an inability to do more than just bang pucks of the glass a la Adam Foote style. The continuity between the two elements is off the charts horrificrikster wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 9:30 amNice to see the stats confirm the eye test on how well Sassons has been playing...Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 8:22 am Pettersson leads Canucks forwards with 11 Controlled Entries (3.66/game) over the last 3 games, 4 more than anyone else

We've been saying this for months, ad nauseam. You can see the night and day difference between last year's D group vs this season's. Add to the multitude of injuries and the offence has dried up and the forwards look amateurish.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 8:22 am Pettersson leads Canucks forwards with 11 Controlled Entries (3.66/game) over the last 3 games, 4 more than anyone else

Which begs the question based on the apparent insider information (deep throat) the defence core for this season and the type of DNA they were looking for came at the request of Tocchet and Foote. The question is - who is to blame here? The coaching staff? Management? Or a combination of both?Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 11:15 amWe've been saying this for months, ad nauseam.

Asides from Hughes, the zone exits are a literal Travisty again.
Fix that and the question will be, what feud?
Word today from Allvin is that he wasn't seriously hurt, but we'll see.Topper wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 10:56 amLike silly putty on the Sunday paper cartoons.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 9:43 am Lekkerimaki took an awful face first header into the boards in the third period in Tucson last night:

The $2 million air thief Desharnais scratched for the kid? Nice! Tocchet is risking life and limb here, how courageous of him.Picker of Cherries wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 2:05 pm Practice today before the road trip had the defence set as:
Hughes-Myers
Forbort-Hronek
DPetey-Soucy
They could flip Hronek with Myers, but whatever. it looks like the best defence the Canucks have iced this season.
Friedman sent down. Juulsen and Deharnais eating popcorn. Nice!
Let's wait until Juulsen returns from injuryChef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2025 3:00 pmThe $2 million air thief Desharnais scratched for the kid? Nice!
