landon ferraro is... not as interesting as his dad
tbh his dad isn't even as interesting as most Canucks fans seem to think his dad is.
Who gains the zone is something everyone focuses on because it's obvious, and it is an important part of a good powerplay. But at the end of the day...you can't coach good powerplay. The players themselves have to move around and organically create offense. It's every good powerplay. They've got guys who can do this.
For the Canucks...Miller is great on the PP but he's not very creative. Hughes is creative, but if he doesn't have anyone to work with organically, what's he supposed to do? He's moving around as the "QB" and the "Receivers" aren't working back to the ball or doing anything to help. And a lot of that is just...Pettersson has to be better. Plain and simple. If he's "on his game" on the PP...suddenly the whole thing works completely differently. It's got a third "pole" that draws defensive focus/PK box attention. And it stresses the PK in some many other ways. But instead, he's kinda sucking and standing around not doing much...even though he's obviously capable of far more.

I was hoping Hronek would be our RafalskiDon't forget Scott Stevens.
Myers has been ass, which isn't really a surprise. He's never been the poster boy for consistency. That pinch was something else. Instead of going at the guy he decided to turn his tanker ass the other way colliding into a teammate as per his usual style.Myers is a -3 and his stupid pinch in the first and subsequent goal against looks to have shattered silovs confidence and set the tone for the game
Debrusk is a complimentary player that lacks high end skill and hockey IQ has always been a bit lacking. The beaming praise for a 40-50 pt player was always bizarre.
His advanced analytics were inflated by being linemates with some of the best hockey players in modern Bruins history. We really needed more high end game breakers this off-season, especially with Pete playing so pitifully.
Despite all the things to complain about. You need at least 1 goal to win and the Canucks haven't reached that bar yet. No need for grand statements about this game or specific players in another month we'll have our answer.

Best free agent crop for dmen in a decade and we landed VD and Forbort, and extended Myers. Lol.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.
Whole f.kin team of lemons tonightHronek is the true lemon of a contract.
Yea ive been very vocal against him this and last year,was so hopeful at first tooHronek is the true lemon of a contract.
Hronek is the true lemon of a contract.
The problem is...our supposed "line drivers" aren't really doing as much of that as they should. Or as much as like...Spinny Garland does.
