ebbett should be taken off and replace with Schroeder so he can play on the third with raymond and hasen and drop lappy down to play with weise and kassien.
Ebbett and kassian suck. Kassian passes way to much. Hes should shoot the puck and crash the net. Ballard> alberts. Alberts has zero offensive ability. Posted via RS Mobile
I'm calling out Henrik for not playing with tenacity, and leading his team the way a captain should be. The first line has been a disappointment so far.
When you see Kesler outplay Henrik, in game 2, it makes you wonder if the team gave the captaincy to the wrong guy.
The "C" belongs to No. 17, not No. 33. Kesler is the engine of the Canucks!!!
We've seen Kesler play in beast mode this series and in past playoffs.
Does Henrik even have a beast mode???
Are Daniel and Burrows going to step up their game tonight and put some pucks past Niemi?

So just cuz Kes can turn it on once every couple of years means he deserves to be Captain? Where was Kes for most of this year? Where was Kes in game1? Remember Kesler diving? Yah, great example. The twins are struggling right now, no doubt about it, but it doesn't mean Hank should lose his C.
I hope Henrik proves me wrong in the rest of this series against the Sharks with improved play. -setting up goals for his team mates, maybe even show a bit more emotion during the game to fire up his team mates.
One of the best captains in the NHL, Claude Giroux:

Who cares where Kes was the rest of the season? He's here in the playoffs.. Ya know, the time that matters? It's the same story with Luongo, guy gets absolutely ripped apart in the regular season from all angles, media, fans, every single person asking why is Lu still here then he comes in and puts up probably his best effort of the entire season when the most is on the line?
Bottom line is Sedins can't elevate their game. If they can't make an impact in this series and at least make it close don't know how anyone can confidence in their efforts going forward. Posted via RS Mobile
yup...sedns cant elevate. or maybe they try to, but it results in nearly nothing. sometimes makes you wonder where the heart is
ryan kesler. all heart. he gets ragged on cause of injuries? its cause he puts it all out there

The playoff comes down to who can roll with 4 lines. If you're going to make a drive, you need it. Last game, Ebbett and Weise rode the pine half the game. As "deep" as we think the team is, we have no 4th line. Those guys can potentially be the game changer and we don't have that. Weise possibly could, but Ebbett, not a chance. I'd rather see Sestito in there, sure he's not the greatest skater, but I never really saw him as a defensive liability. I don't understand why you pick a player up like him, play him 80% of the season and then scratch him.. Posted via RS Mobile

imma go with AV logic on this one.
Ebbett plays 3-5 mins per game? super effective, better keep him in the lineup.
Lu stands on his head for 2 games yet puts schnieds in! Guess what goaltending isn't the issue its scoring....the only guy going right now is kesler, 1 out of 12 skaters going at 100% isn't a good ratio to win. The fourth line is trash yet ebbett is centering it a plays like 4 minutes a game might as well keep him in! Make no sense to me the only reason AV makes these mind boggling moves is its because its AV.

True that goaltending isn't the issue, but we have seen that the guys tend to play better in front of Schneider, for whatever reason that may be...
^^yeah that is true! but your also putting in a cold goalie who hasn't played in over a week...hopefully schneids stands on his head because if he lays a fat juicy egg out there I would hate to be AV, Gillis and co...
