GDT: GAME #24 - Vanny @ Minny - 5:00 p.m., SPAC

[Steve Bennett*]

Agreed. I don't think Barker has been that bad. He makes mistakes every now and then, but he's really good at getting his shot through.

I'll take him over Alberts any day.

Which is too bad because Alberts was a good #6/7 for a couple seasons. He struggled the year he came over from Carolina and then when O'Brien was ditched in his favor I remember there was fury over the decision but he played pretty well in 2010-11, and then last year too. But this year he looks like that first impression Alberts which is quite ass. Now he looks like a #9, no kiddin.. I wonder what happened...

 

[Seatoo]

......AV should be smart enough

Oh so many one liners with this statement


Stopped reading there

You are obviously a new Canucks fan, welcome to the logic black hole

When has that ever stopped him?



Will add more as I think of them, I encourage people to do the same!




P.S not being mean to the person I quoted it is more making fun of the coaching staff

I know right? The coaching staff is so STUPID! I mean, what a bunch of idiots!

Booth and Kassian missing easy tap ins is totally the coaches fault! I can't believe how stupid those coaches are!

And Edler falling down and getting walked around like a rookie? That's obviously the coaches! They should be teaching Edler how to play hockey properly! This is only the NHL, he still needs to learn!

I knew you'd come around eventually

Disagree. He was bad last year too.

 

[Outside99*]

Wild forwards must be licking their chops at the thought of walking around Barker not to mention, it counts (whereas in practice it doesn't). I wonder how familiar they are with his weaknesses?

uh yeah. Notice how guys like Crosby and the Sedins work constantly to try to improve any aspect of their game that they can?

 

[me2]

4 point game against minny. must win.

 

[Royal Canuck]

If we lose this one, I just might join the "Fire AV" wagon.

Depends on how we lose this one though, I've been slowly inching towards the majority through our play as of late.

I want to win this though, badly, so I don't have to go down that road.

 

[EpochLink]

We lose, we riot and call for the firing of Alain Vigneault on HFBoards.

Also, spread the #FIREAV love on twitter

 

[canuck4life16]

well in other news the Oilers are beating up hawks 4-0

 

[Proto]

Having them do push-ups is just.... AV. I dunno anymore.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I hope the Canucks win this. I don't care I just want them to win it would be nice to see a 4-1 win or something but just win.

 

[stevecanuck16]

Not really sure what to expect. Just let it happen.

 

[Nuckles]

If we lose again, I hope Gillis plans on making serious changes (either via coaching change or trade).

 

[canucksfan]

I am confident the Nucks win. 4-1.

It seems if it is a big game they do well.

 

[Alexistheman]

well in other news the Oilers are beating up hawks 4-0

They will lose the next 23 games, law of averages, goalies wont be that good, wont get any bounces.

ps: if you missed it...

 

[deadinthewater]

Changes should be made regardless of whether we win today or not. This team's center depth is very poor and really needs to be addressed.

 

[pahlsson]

this is gonna be the most exciting game of the year, i can feel it

 

[Royal Canuck]

Not a day goes by that I ponder on that trade.

 

[Nuckles]

Not a day goes by that I ponder on that trade.

If we keep Kassian with the Sedins, then I'm perfectly happy with the trade. He can produce well and protect the twins.

If we keep Kassian in the bottom 6, I regret the trade.

My sentiments exactly, I liked him as a coach for many years, but I think I am starting to lose my faith in the guy these days. Just some of the decisions he makes really makes me think "huh??!!" and some of his ideas obviously do not click...

 

[Edo]

Losing 2 centermen will make it appear that way.

From a logical stand point, still leading your division while playing 25+ games without your most versatile Selke winning centre, can be attributed to depth.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Kass has to prove he can get things done in the bottom 6 without the Sedins first, before he is made a 1st liner on the team.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I'm only tuning in to see what 2 new players are wearing "A"s

I bet it's Sestito and Weise today.
