We’d be a better team with no Raty/Bains but add PDG and Friedman and throw Suter and Hoglander up into the top 6

The team just looks in disarray

Yeah, people love prospects and rookies but the thing with prospects and rookies is that they usually kind of suck. And playing them is usually a step backward in the hope you’re investing in a future step forward.

Theirs an overlooked skill teams make when they select players.

Shooting, skating, intelligence, toughness etc etc are looked at.

Nobody looks at if a player is a winner. Point is a winner.

We do not have a winner on our team. Maybe Miller and Hughes. TBD.

What exactly encapsulates a 'winner'? How do you scout that? Seems arbitrary.

We’re none of those things away from matching Tampa tonight. They’re more talented, faster, and cohesive as a squad.

We do, but we’re trading it at the deadline.

We’re gonna make the playoffs, people need to calm down

They most likely do. But the Canucks backend might be one of the worst in the league. And their superstar player hasn’t played like a star in ever. It’s quite concerning

Bigger issue is Miller/Boeser/Pettersson playing like they’re in preseason still, for sure. This is a different game if our top 6 was clicking.

Remember how relentless our forecheck was last season?

One of the main reason we were so dominant was teams got hemmed in constantly and gassed themselves trying to get out.

Where is that team?
