It just hit me that the canucks can be bad yet still make the playoffs with home ice advantage because the division sucks.....

Canucks sit 2nd behind the kings right now

Not far fetched to say that a shot at the division crown is possible if teams continue to suck....

were 10 games into the season. Lets talk about this sometime in February. Guarantee the landscape will have significantly shifted by then, and most likely not in our favour.

should we plan the parade while we're at it?
:troll:

i'd rather we not win a division crown anyways...those things are useless
as much as we have a shitty drafting track record
higher draft pick > division crown/presicunts trophy

Making the playoffs provides that extra revenue that Aquaman wants in his pockets. :troll:

Seriously, the way the team is playing now in third periods is a big concern.

What is with these third period melt downs?? :rukidding:

Good teams know how to put the opposition away with a two goal lead.
When you have the opposition down on the ground, you step on their necks.

Where is the killer instinct??? :facepalm:

i honestly think Willie's fucking it up this season...must be his pain meds or something or
its his fucking phobia of playing anyone whose age ends in a "teen" or whose name starts with Sven in the third period

last year we had success rolling four lines in 60 mins
this year we're shortening the bench in the third period...and look at the fucking results
i can't find the stats but the kids were playing something less than two minutes in the third

It's like his whole fucking stubborness of not playing Weber in the first few games despite the fact that the fucking powerplay sucked ass
Finally, caves in and puts the guy in and look at the PP now.

I mean, seriously Willie, what the fuck? We're not coaches but its plain and simple that shortening the bench in the third results in fucking blown leads and blown games.

McCann and Baertschi played 2 shifts. Virtanen played 5 shifts.

fucking 604_boi and his fucking recycled fucking responses in this fucking thread :ahwow:

goddamn it, it's an o not a 0

fucking fuck what the fuck man?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
lol

You should really learn how to spell your name :troll:

coming from a guy who's got the 0 in his name
:awwyeah:

wanna trade?

Sure :alonehappy:

will cant adapt! last years playoffs didnt adapt he didnt play his star players and give them more ice time and boom out of the playoffs...as for this year 604_boi pretty much summed it up! WD cant adapt quick enough weather its the pp, not playing kids, shortening the bench ect....always waits too long and it is costing us! I have yet to see him blow up on a ref and call them over to the bench and shit on them for fucking up! IE lastnights game when Benn clearly interfered with dorsett on the tieing goal. WD needs to fucking man up and start bitching at the refs and show some anger!

nah i think i'll keep the o, it just doesn't look right.

Bachman gets the start tonight.
I just have this feeling we're gonna get ventilated
hopefully WD matches the Yotes youth with some of our youth...i'd love to see Virt stapling Domi, Duclair and Ekman-Larsson

^That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Can't tell if srs.....

it's a shap at Willie's tendencies to go with all vets in the 3rd

looks like Baertschi sits for Cracknell

I can't tell if you're serious...

Prust out 4-6wks

Canucks curse lol

I guess it's more likely that one of the rooks gets more than 9

they should replace baertschi with me. I'll be the 20 goal scorer for you guys

The twins really aren't that great 3 on 3, given that it is more about 1 on 1 skills and speed. Hank falls down and turns the puck over for an oddman rush at least once every 3 on 3.

Playing Sutter and Hansen in OT aren't good moves either - they just don't have the hands.

I'd go with Vbrata/Horvat, Burrows/McCann, Edler, Tanev

if the twins scored on the 2 chances they had in the first 10 seconds of previous 3on3's we wouldn't be talking about them "sucking" in 3v3.

They just need to bury chances which you could say has been an issue with the club 5v5 5v4 etc etc

Ya except they give up more chances then they create. It's painful watching them in ot. They are too soft and go down to easily. its not even about youth, it would be nice to see some quick jump and speed on the rush in 3 on 3.
