Could we please get rid of Dorsett so Willie can't continue to overuse him in situations that are beyond his skill set? If you're going to put him on the ice when the goalie is pulled, you'd be better off using Tryamkin as your 4th forward. May as well put the one-man crowd in front of the net to create some chaos.

Same for the power play. There's nothing creative or threatening about it. If the Sedins insist on making stationary passes back and forth with no other movement, and you don't have someone who can launch bombs from the back end, having Tryamkin in front will at least tie up a defender or two at the net so Daniel or Sutter might be able to bang in a loose puck.

No...WD goes before Dorset. Nothing wrong with him it's his deployment

I agree he has looked okay in the offensive end, but at some point you have to convert looking okay to goals. Same could be said with every member of the Canucks obviously though.

yep, hard to pin it on one player when nobody is scoring.

ah feck it, blame the goalies

Any chance we see Miller on his way out and we use him to pick up a winger, and likely a much lesser backup?

I can't see a coaching change helping much, if there is one, predicting WD might last until November 19 when we have a game against Chicago and 4 days off until the first game, the start of a road trip.... the games are so close together.

I miss half the game and was wondering if anyone had any information on what happened between Horvat and EK. I saw the video of karlsson, smith and phaenuf taking runs at Horvat after.

Having trouble scoring goals?

How about give decent line partners to that one guy with 4 goals in 10 games on your team.

Maybe, just maybe it helps?

He should be playing with the sedins.

sedin sedin horvat
erickson granlund hansen

I'm wondering if it is just effort? Dorsett works his butt off and WD isn't seeing the same effort from others? It is a bit challenging, but we saw the puck go around the horn without anyone shooting in the dying seconds of that game.

Stecher recalled.

Karlsson interfered with Horvat on a net drive so Bo knocked his hat off. Scrum ensued. Should have been a Canuck power play based on the interference and roughing by Karlsson, and additional involvement with Horvat by Methot. But of course the Senators came away with a power play.

Season Ticket Holders and how they treat the posters from steerage.

Burrows works his butt off too and I'd wager he's more likely to convert on an opportunity than Dorsett ever will. So it can't be attributed to effort, nor should you be doing that at the NHL level. Each guy has a role on the team and you use them for it. Willie appears to be seeing something in Dorsett that just isn't there.

Pretending like the Canucks are a scoring team that has bubble potential, yes lemmings I'm talking to you, is much like Canucks the past 196 minutes of game time-pointless. #top5pick

Filopic has a great analytic comparison of just how bad we are as a team compared to other season's bottom feeders, for those of you with hope.

It's not all doom-and-gloom folks! I don't believe that an NHL team has ever gone on a 6-game road-trip and gotten shut-out in all 6 games! So, there's that to shoot for...

Google chrome. no need. those ads were driving me crazy. I can understand the membership if that step was caused by frustration. But I'm too cheap and the chrome is working.

So long as we get the opportunity, we'll score a PP goal next game. With Edler gone, Hutton will get increased PP time and make something happen.

do you have the factions mixed up? Thought the lemmings were expecting poor results while the circle gang was hoping for the bubble? or I might have it all messed up.

Circle Jerk = This is a playoff team
Drama Queens = Corrado, Shinkaruk, McCann will be all stars
Lemmings = Vantel is God
