GDT: GM09 | Vancouver Canucks vs New Jersey Devils | Wed. Oct 30th | 7:40pm PST | SNP | Brotherly Hate

Half for you, half for Silovs.

I think he might have already gotten his half before the game?

 

[VanJack]

Just 10 games in, but the 'inconvenient truth' is that Canuck blueline isn't nearly good enough. And they can't play Hughes and Hronek 25-30 minutes a night. I suppose when you're forced every off-season to troll the UFA market for UFA d-men, sooner or later it's going to flop.

And if this is all they're going to get out of Debrusk, then the Canuck faithful should be more concerned about that contract, rather than Pettersson's.

 

[rypper]

deny the pp

Are you my wife?

 

[LordBacon]

How many damn pps have they had this game so far??

Jesus Christ, get a f***ing goal.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Canucks are 0 for their last 10 PP's

 

[Canucks LB]

Can you just give what the flames want for Anderson?

Because he would absolutely transform this defence

 

[PavelBure10]

If I had the balls to do it I would turn this game off and go to bed, but it's like watching a train crash, I can't stop watching.

 

[Kryten]

0-4

Score, pp, scoring chances on pp? Yes

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Sprong replaced Miller on PP?

Looks like Rick agrees

 

[wonton15]

Sherwood line is the only one doing anything

 

[Bgav]

Canucks are 0 for their last 10 PP's

Is that bad?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Just take the tape and burn it on this one.

 

[Big zZz]

I'll judge management's decisions when the core are all at least doing their parts.

Why? Why can't the core be suffering because of management? Guentzel would look a lot better on Petey's wing than whatever's debrusk is doing these days. The reason the core is struggling is because management has yet again failed to surround them with quality depth. Look no further than 4 of our 6 defenseman.

Ive been 4 months completely sober but I feel like I can really use a drink/joint rn.

It's not like many people on this board were talking about the Canucks defence all offseason or anything.

If random HF posters could see the issue, idk how management missed so hard.

 

[Canucks LB]

OK, I’m gonna be negative for a second.

Debrusk honestly looks worse every game, and if there’s no injury, what’s going on here?

He is not skating fast at all, what did he do in the offseason?

He’s not even hitting.

 

[bbud]

Sprong replaced Miller on PP?

Looks like Rick agrees

Maybe he needs to kick ep in nuts and wake him up too

Bros high on life

Guentzel chose Tampa & DeBrusk was their #2. Probably #3 actually if you factor that they made a 7x7 or so offer to Lindholm or whatever it was - which would have been even worse.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I wouldn't argue against it really, but sometimes not every player is actually useful at all on the powerplay. Just like a lot of guys can't kill penalties to save their lives, others don't have anywhere near the skillset to do anything with those PP minutes.

Someone just needs to create havoc in front of the net.

Wyborowa?

Or you want the good shit...like Maotai?

 

[LordBacon]

Cant imagine paying premium to watch this garbage.

 

[biturbo19]

When is Rick going to let go of the powerplay and let someone else run it, all he can think of is rotating bodies when its a problem with how the powerplay works.

Not wrong per se...but what's the fix here?

Swap bodies in/out trying to get someone with a different perspective? What else are you gonna do to "coach" a better Powerplay. The more coaching, the worse it usually gets.

 

[Canucks LB]

I can’t even be that critical of Miller because he’s been fine this season, just having a bad game shit happens.

There’s way more problems here
