"whomst"?

 

[Vector]

"whomst"?

Do you not understand the King’s English!?!

 

[sting101]

Clown didnt say what provoked Sprong so he can just stop being a big giant passive aggressive puxxy and except the fact he picked something with the wrong guy who wasn't accepting his BS.

 

[Lindgren]

'Tis true that I'm behind. I'm still working on the Queen's.

 

[krutovsdonut]

I live in Lake Country. Does anyone wanna meet in Penticton and have relations?

i am going to be there one of the days so may drop in. if you wear a red rose in your lapel i will take your photo and doxx you.

Why does our powerplay even suck?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Why does our powerplay even suck?

Either the coaching staff or the players themselves are far too static and determined to make set plays when it's blatantly obvious teams have figured them out. Which of the two (or both) need to be willing to adapt on the fly so that things don't become predictable.

Pettersson also needs to be told to shot more. For whatever reason, he wasn't nearly as aggressive when that's been his M.O on the powerplay for a while now.

You are incredibly consistent.

How far from Penticton are you: Asking for a friend...

Last question while I have you here, Can Lekkerimaki be a player that get's 20-30 points on the powerplay eventually?

Doth mother know you weareth her drapes.

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

My bold prediction is that the Canucks PK finishes in the top 25% of the league.

I'll wear it on my dong.

1 hour and 13 mins.

That's a funny way to spell bandana.

Not bold at all, I think a lot of people here have faith in our PK playing close to leagues best. Now bold would be saying our powerplay finishes top 25%.

I don’t care how the powerplay is in the first half of the season , I just hope it gets hot when the weathers hot

don't get pricked

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

My prediction is that for every game the score will be fun to fun.

For a team that has flirted with the worst PK in history it would be huge for this group to turn that into a strength. I think they need a right handed centre and Demko to stay relatively healthy and they could do it.

The PP on the other hand... I just don't see it unless Pettersson gets comfortable asserting himself and fires a lot of shots. Once he does that lots of passing options will open up for him.

Edit: is Tocchet still running the PP??

Nope not Tocchet anymore, it’s Yogi Svejkovsky

I can't find anything where Coach Rick says he will butt out of the PP altogether but he is ceding at least a good deal of it to Yogi.

Švejkovský will coach the power play for the Canucks ​

In terms of his role, Tocchet confirmed that Švejkovský will “take a big chunk” of the power play.

Canucks were already eyeing Yogi Švejkovský for larger role

"He caught my attention when I first got here," said Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet of newly promoted assistant coach Yogi Švejkovský.

Seems to me Yogi will be the main guy and Gonchar + Sedins will also be involved as well.

seems promising

 

[credulous]

i'm not convinced the power play's problems were coaching

they've lacked a trigger guy who can get his shot off under pressure since horvat was traded. boeser has a good shot but needs space and pettersson and miller just aren't very threatening shooters in static setups. hughes lack of a shot doesn't help either. makes it hard to tempt the defenders to come out to defend it

i dunno who the 4th forward on the power play will be but none of debrusk, garland or joshua are really likely to help fill that role

Does Lekkerimaki have potential to be dangerous on the powerplay?

 

[logan5]

I'm hoping Lekk makes the team out of camp because he would improve the power play. He is a right shot, with the left side being his spot on the powerplay at Orebro. Hughes would have a choice to dish to either Pettersson or Lekk, who can both rip one timers. If Lekk starts scoring, then the opposition PK will be forced to move away from Petey, giving him more time for his one timers. All this assuming Lekk would be put on the first unit, but imo he has a better shot than Boeser.
