Lacking the heart in this team, we need some more canadian blood on our team

It feels like the Canucks were built on the assumption of the "new NHL" where teams win with skating and skill. Seems like they tried to play hard, draw penalties, and make the other team pay on the powerplay.

BUT refs are calling less penalties, and we've all seen the penalties for headshots, cheapshots, and all around goonery. Goal scoring is down on par with the dead puck era, and team are playing more defensively. I guess the Canucks didn't have the players and couldn't adjust to this kind of play.

I think Luongo needs to get traded for anything, I'd even take a 2nd rounder. Same goes for Ballard, Raymond, and Malholtra. Re-sign Salo and Pahlsson to lower cap hits if possible. And although Booth plays hard, he has no finish - he produces as much as Hansen for a 4 million cap hit so I'd get rid of him too. That's 15 million in cap space. Try and sign Parise and a depth defenseman and the team looks good to go for another run.
not sure if srs.

Also, anyone bitching about Kassian still, the guy plays 3 minutes a game Are you surprised he isn't doing anything? No.

I agree on the Kesler bit, but only halfway on the Booth bit.


Booth has absolutely no puck sense whatsoever and his modus operandi is just one of "taking stabs in the dark" which is just, go to the net and hopefully something happens.

Booth also can't skate anything else but a straight line which he tries to make useful by just trying to skate as fast as he can. No shiftiness, no agility. When he's angled out, he's pretty much done. Its a turnover/change of possession.

But yes, I do give him credit for throwing a little weight around.

Well the fact that he's playing 3 minutes a game is largely telling to how he is playing.

You take the top player off any of the current playoffs teams and see if they don't lose three straight.

I hate to admit it, but I found myself thinking during the Penguins-FLyers games..."I wish our team played with this heart."

And you don't even have to ask if I was cheering for the penguins or flyers.

:alone:

We need more players with the likes of Giroux, etc. Canadians have heart.

uhhh Why do you think he only played 3minutes? Because he didn't do shit + game puck away!

I'm surprised he even played that much, the only time I noticed him out there was when he gave the puck away. Where's the energy and grittiness that this kid was supposed to bring? Where are the big hits and fights?

He played well in the first 3 games when he was traded here but declined after that. Then he became invisible since his injury.

Still no replies on my Schroeder call up? If Kass and Weise are playing 3 mins. Schroeder can take one of their spots and slot in the PP at least he'll provide some speed and offensive creativity.

The Canucks are coached by retard AV. What do you expect? He fucking PROMOTED Mason Raymond all year when he's played like shit :rukidding:

SkinnyPupp 04-15-2012 10:13 PM
Has anyone compared the Burke/Nonis acquisitions on the team to Gillis' acquisitions?

I mean Burke and Nonis brought in the Sedins, Lu, Schneider, Burrows, Kesler...

How about MG? Marco Sturm? Mats Sundin? Keith Ballard? He did bring in Ehrhoff in a great trade, but he's gone, and Hamhuis was a good signing...

MR_BIGGS 04-15-2012 10:15 PM
People need to relax. Kassien is a 21 year-old kid. His talent will be displayed with time. You have to be patient with the kid and can't expect him to be all world right away. He will be a noticeable force maybe half way thru next year...maybe.

Samuelsson was the best signing in 09/10. Got a 3rd line checker to notch in 30 goal scorer.

Listening to Cory's post game interviews compared to the rest of the team.. man it will be such a bummer if they lose him this off season :(

I still believe he'll become a good player. Just not now.

Man, couldn't Gillis have traded Hodgson at the end of this season!?!?

Samuelsson would have been good on our PP.

He has 3 points in 2 games with Florida this playoff.

I don't know why you guys are speaking to me like I'm some kind of idiot. I'm saying he is playing 3 minutes a game, so it's no wonder he's not fighting, hitting big, etc. I'm not saying he should be playing more.

SupraMan604 04-15-2012 10:18 PM
It seems like everyone knows how to play the Canucks now....beat up on their top players and they cant do shit. Whats the worse Kesler/Lappy chirping at you. Wooo Im scared.

At least Torres last year had some big hits and fought. This year were even worse when it comes to tough guys. When the commentators and analysts state there is something wrong with no one sticking up for their teammates you gotta shake your head as that is a coaching/management problem.

MR_BIGGS 04-15-2012 10:19 PM
Bottom line.

41 shots on net for game 3.

Hot goalie. Sometimes playoff games go that way. They didn't do anything between whistles and stuck to the script. Came up short.
