...what? It's hilarious trying to have a conversation with you.

Imma vote with Don

Me?

I said they should acquire 1 more defender better than Bear and you traded every single prospect and pick and took massive swing deals.

That's normal you?

Bear isn't that good. He was literally spare parts in Carolina. The worst defensive team in a playoff spot traded him for a bottom 6 forwards years ago. Since when do top 4 D get bottom 6 forwards in return?

RT didn’t like the first two periods lots of stick checking, see how they respond Saturday.

In the first 10 games under Tocchet, Canucks had better corsi in 8 out 10 games.

Since then the last 11 games Canucks better corsi numbers in only 3 out of 11 games.

Possession numbers whether some like it or not has a lot to do with a winning formula in hockey.

Some mighty fine goaltending to allow Forsell a goal in first SHL playoff game.

Forsell sets up powerplay goal. Well he will get a 2nd assist. Sent the pass from the half way for a tip that was saved and 2nd guy potted the rebound.

After this one game it feels like they are playing as individuals? You don’t watch the games. If you want talk about your shameful journey to 200 or which sweets you will stuff your fat face with this weekend people would surely listen. Stay in your lane.

They can all play in the right system, these ahlers are proving it, is bear better than the 3 called up? It’s up to him to buy in and prove it, the 3 are depth players and bear could be another one but it’s up to him he’s still young enough for a Dman.

I was hoping for Montour last year but he’s having a break out season this year.

I would say Bear is better than the call ups and Burroughs. Possibly Myers most nights.

3 years at 3.5M, pretty damn good deal for Florida. Traded for a 3rd round pick too. Pretty cheap.

Canucks might have something there

Having only 4 assists in 66 SHL games is insane though

Yet the went 4-6 in the first 10 and 7-4 in their last 11.

Maybe you meant inversely?

No, I didn't because the Canucks played .600 plus hockey last season but were a below 50% corsi team in probably 70% of those games.

Which is why most said that the team was not good enough but others said .600 hockey, you can't ignore that. They did and the team massively sucked again.

There are obviously other numbers than just corsi. xGF% and such are also a good indicator of puck possession.

What people have said under Tocchet so far is that numbers have gotten better. Not last place to first place though. Talking 32 place to like 23rd. There is still a long ways to go.

But Corsi! Watch the games if you want to comment you spineless bag of cookie dough. Most annoying kind of “fan.” Corsi is one of the most useless stats out there. The Canucks aren’t a good team. But the chances against are very different than they were ealier in the year and they have a lot of skill and naturally finish their chances better than most teams.

I'm not fat at all. 16% body fat after a month of bulking. So your insults are fantasy.

You and I had a discussion a few weeks ago so I know how you think now.

It's proven that puck the better puck possession teams win the Stanley cup. It's not even remotely up for debate. It's like 10 out of the last 12 winners have been in the top 10 and 5 in the top 5. The last two that weren't, absolutely flipped the switch in the playoffs and were #1. Pitt and Washington.

I mean Corsi says Canucks are not good. Same thing Donna said. xGF% says the Canucks are improving slightly. Same thing you said. Canucks have a better than average finishing percentage. Donna says the same thing.

It's odd how you discredit the things that say the same thing as you think.

Who could the #Canucks target as a potential 3C?
