even with a bad eye, he's still more useful than Ebbett

cliffhanger33 03-18-2013 08:27 PM

someone blind would be better than ebbett

spideyv2 03-18-2013 08:28 PM

Schultz would have been a perfect PP QB :troll:

mb_ 03-18-2013 08:30 PM

We might as well not have anyone on the faceoff circle

Team needs a huge kick in the ass if they want to get far

AzNightmare 03-18-2013 08:32 PM

Let's face it, we're missing too many key pieces to compete.

Our team is just sucking, plain and simple

platinum300 03-18-2013 08:36 PM

Jason Garrison needs to hit the net. He took like 10 shots and only 1 maybe 2 hit the net.

kristianhay 03-18-2013 08:36 PM

If management thinks we can go anywhere with the squad we're fielding right now, they'll be in for a long, long summer. Trade has got to happen or I'd be willing to put money on the fact that the Canucks aren't going to make any kind of playoff push, if they even make the playoffs. San Jose and Phoenix are just 2 points back, and with wins tomorrow, they could leapfrog in front of us, putting us down to 9th.

Sedin - Sedin - Burr
Hansen - Ebbet - Raymond
Higgins - Schroeder - Weise
Pinizotto - Lapierre - Sestito

Is that honestly a fucking joke? It's like we have a top 3, and bottom 9. Hansen and Raymond are playing great this year, but they're not second liners. Don't even get me started on Ebbet. The players can only do so much.. especially if they're not that skilled. Something has got to change.

No it's not. It's the reason.
Our players are simply not skilled enough.
It's not like player X or player Y is going to play better than they really can.

I've just come to accept our team sucks now, even on paper now.
Maybe we're expecting more talent than capable from our current roster,
so I would now blame management for having lack of skill in our roster.

It's like saying CBJ need to try harder to make it to the playoffs, when it's really just that their roster sucks.
And even with Booth and Kesler, I'm not all that convinced we're cup contenders.
Since Booth is an underachiever, and Kesler... well, he'll find a way to get injured and either play 50% or just be out of the lineup.

The bottom 9 looks like an above average AHL top 9

spideyv2 03-18-2013 08:40 PM

and in hindsight, if the Kadri + Bozak rumours were true, we should have let Lu go in the summer

jeedee 03-18-2013 08:40 PM

lol'd hard when #AVLogic kicked in and took a timeout with 18 seconds left and not when we pulled Lu with ~2 mins left

GabAlmighty 03-18-2013 08:42 PM

They played a 43 minute game today. Played hard the first 2 periods, I loved that they were throwing everything at the net but when Minnesota got their 2 and 3rd goal we just shut down until the final 3 minutes of the game when they finally decided to wake up again.

You mean Kesler? :badpokerface:

No one seem like they care except. Not even the fans since none of the games are sold out. :okay:

Not really racist! 03-18-2013 08:45 PM

36 shots, 1 goal

kristianhay 03-18-2013 08:45 PM

Well... 4 more games this week. STL, PHX, LA, COL.

I see the Canucks winning 2 of those games tops. I just don't have the confidence in the team anymore, and with 5 games in 7 days, things don't look good. We could be looking in from the outside by the end of the week if the boys don't figure it out.

#AVLogic

I actually DO understand AV logic (for once).
Since it's back-to-back game, Schneider and Luongo's going to split a game each either way.
Luongo has good stats against Minnesota at home. Shutout the Wild 3 times in the past 4 home games.

Lu vs Wild
Schneider vs Blues.
