Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I could not agree with this more. AV is a good coach, but not a cup winning coach.
Very few coaches have either an the cup, or came within one game of winning the cup... AV is in the latter group. I guess e team coached themselves for that run?
Hamhuis/Garrison have been solid, imo. Bieksa/Edler is a god awful pairing, both very mistake prone.
That's because Hamhuis is always good. He's not a spectacular D man but he rarely makes mistakes. He's had a great year.
I would put Hammer and Juice back together and make them the de facto shutdown pair. They were awesome at that and contributing more than they are now. I hate AV's philosophy of balancing out lines (putting good/hot players with bad/cold ones to try to spark the baddies) rather than putting lines together based on chemistry and effectiveness. Oh hey, Weise is playing decent? BETTER PUT HIM ON THE SEDIN LINE TO GET THEM GOING.
Having Garrison and Edler presents a problem because they both shoot left. Best case scenario would be to grab two free agent D next year, a puck moving D (a passer, not a shooter) and a solid, vet, stay at home D, both right handed shots. Split up Garrison and Edler, put the guy that's struggling with the vet and the hotter of the two with the mover. Rotate based on play or need. Unfortunately, we don't have the cap room nor the roster space. So the D is going to look more and more like putting square pegs in round holes.
Edler and Bieksa need stable partners to thrive, like Edler did with Salo and Bieksa did with Hamhuis. That's why I don't understand the pairings this year. Why split up Bieksa and Hamhuis?
I would say yes but honestly with the way B Shan does things you never know. When he first came on board I was optimistic but fast forward a few years and he has only further complicated things.

THE ROCK: "What's your favorite donut?"
DETECTIVE #2: "Jelly."
THE ROCK: "Oh, you like jelly. Well, jelly's a good one. The Rock says this; write this down. When you leave here, go down to Dunkin Donuts, get the biggest jelly donut you can find!"
(crowd pops louder)
LAWLER: "Oh, no... this guy's a COP!"
THE ROCK: "Write it down. Hold that jelly donut up, SQUEEZE all the jelly out, squeeze all the-- write it down; you like writing things down-- squeeze all the jelly out, and then-- write this down, you don't want to forget this-- TURN that sumbitch sideways, and stick it STRAIGHT UP your CANDY ASS!"
Blindside, leaves his feet, contact with the head. Should be a suspension.
Head is the primary point of contact too. Look at his hand push Lydman's shoulder after the contact. That should be evidence enough that the shoulder wasn't the primary point of contact.
Add to that the fact that Abdelkader isn't a star and there was an injury on the play. I'm going to guess 4-5 games.
Who thinks we're getting a repeat of last year against LA?

Extremely soft call in OT leads to a Pens PP, and goal of course. Pretty bad.

Vigneault - "Cory's playing. He's good to go. Goaltending hasn't been the issue, but prior to his injury, he was real good." #Canucks
Cory playing.
Also, looks like Ballard may be in, Alberts out.

Looks like Ballard is in for Alberts. Corrado playing tonight means 1st year of his entry level deal is burned. #canucks

AV just had on-ice discussion with Schroeder. Expect he is in for Ebbett. #Canucks
