canucks are the second lowest scoring team in the NHL next to the sabres (187 to 150) holy 150.... Well Bossman at least our teams are 1 and 2 in something this year

Curious as to where your PP rankings are as well?

I hate Sullivan, I felt bad when Torts brought him in with him

Vancouver 14.9
e - Buffalo 14.6
Carolina 78 14.2
e - Florida 79 10.3

4th worst in the NHL. but I think Gulatzan is our PP coach. I could be wrong

Damn. I'm sure Sullivan has part of the PP, and is one of the problems. He was awful here.

our PP problems (hehe) go back to Coach V as well so its nothing new. But this year wow.

nope ... all Gully

the problems do go back to under Vigneault but honestly ... when they lost Ehrhoff, it went to shit

 

[jstewismybastardson]

talking about canucks and missing coaches or not ...

I think the guy they miss most is actually Rick Bowness ... the defensive crew has been a shit show this year ... they no longer know when to jump into the play and when they pinch they always seem to get burned ... so many odd man rushes

Ahhh okay, I wasn't sure if he had any control of it, which is why I was asking.

Ehrhoff is very good on the PP, he has his best season as a Canuck, if I remember correctly.

Our PP goes to Scott Arniel and though it's been god all season, it's been awful the last two weeks. Believe we only have 4 goals in the last 30+ attempts. All season we were top 10. Vigneault doesn't get much say on the PP here.

im sorry. did you say we miss Rick Bowness? That just sounds weird.

Bowness is in Tampa now is he not? they have more goals against than us. I know that doesn't tell the whole story

Ehrhoff is very good on the PP

in 2010-11 he had something like 30 PP points ... about 90 % of those points had some combo of D. SEDIN, H. SEDIN, C. EHRHOFF in the goal scoring summaries

Gully has to be the best dressed associate coach in the league, so he's got that going for him...

yup i did ... AV didnt talk to them and gave them the room ... I think the d corps got clear instruction from Bowness and they were definitely more in sinc than they are now ... Bieksa said so much on the radio last week

It's actually even worse for us...the 150 includes the 7 "bonus" goals for SO wins. They've actually only scored 143.

That's scary good.

canucks broadcast talked about the offensive woes when sabres rolled into town

difference between 29th (florida) in goals per game and 30th (buffalo) place in goals per game is almost a half goal per game (0.45)

thats the same spread between 15th and 29th overall in goals per game

Lightning have given Steve Yzerman a four year contract extension.

Yeah, Buffalo needs to get 8 over their final 4 games to avoid setting the post-expansion record for fewest goals in a season. That would be above their season average to do that.

Teemus final game day presser in canada ... says hardest hit he ever took was Mike Peca at the Coliseum so Vancouver has a soft spot in his heart lol

Reward for chasing the pint sized turncoat out of town?
