@bubblecarm Swedes speak the best English of any European country they definitely speak English all the time

@passittobulis @Since1988bro As the forward let go of his man and the D ends up with two players to cover he needs to position himself in the least bad position, which in this case is to be able to reach the stick of the forward directly in front of paint and gamble on also covering the back door pass.
English

That was extremely poor defending by Tom Willander. Not his best moment.

@TrevorLit1619 @patersonjeff It more or less guarantees a top five pick and the best odds for the first overall pick if he stays.

@patersonjeff At what point does Foote get fired? Does it actually make sense to keep him until the end of the season?
(honest questions)

I feel like I've seen this once or twice or 30 times this season

the four man migration continues again

@ChrisConte79 Not so fast… Never interrupt your opposition when it is making a wonderful mistake. Let the tanking continue for at least two seasons.

@SatiarShah What’s the point of aiming for participation medals (just making the playoffs)? Playing the Avs makes it painfully obvious only about a handful of the current roster could make it onto a contending team. Too slow and not enough skill. Plain and simple.
English

@SatiarShah How many of Canucks players could make the Avs roster? 3? 5?
Canucks are a complete rebuild behind Avs.

#Canucks skating in the following line and D-paid combinations at practice on Sunday:
DeBrusk-Pettersson-Kane
Boeser-Kampf-Garland
O’Connor-Räty-Sherwood
McEachern-Sasson-Karlsson
Hughes-Myers
Pettersson-Joseph
Petey Jr. - Willander
Filip Hronek absent today.

English

@Sportsnet650 @BikNizzar Clearly Myers is the bigger problem on the Pettersson - Myers pairing. But there are other issues as well.

English

🗣 "It is remarkable right now trying to find solutions on the back end, pairings that look cohesive, that look consistent...it just doesn't exist on the back end."
👉 @BikNizzar analyzes just how bad the #Canucks D pairings have been.
English

@jabo_vancouver In order for a fast pressure (swarm) defense to work you typically need very quick and agile defenders excellent at defending one on one from the corners. And they need time to close gaps really fast. Canucks only have 2 or possibly 3 defenders with those capabilities.
English

Here's a goal that is a perfect example of the defensive issues this team is having. Three players chasing the puck behind the goal line, no one defending the most important part of the ice if they lose that board battle. #Canucks
Florida Panthers@FlaPanthers
That was clean🧼

@domarfraga @henrikleman @jaghetermathias @TV4_Hockey Varför gör inte domarna det då? Det sker ju extremt sällan procentuellt sett. Varför är praxis att helt andra bedömningar görs framför målgården?

@henrikleman @jaghetermathias @TV4_Hockey Förstår inte vad du menar? Är väl självklart att det finns möjlighet att ta ex en interference här

Jag vidhåller vad jag skrivit i tio, 15, 20 år:
Jag förstår inte varför hockeyn så gärna vill att crosschecking ska vara en del av spelet.
Se gärna förbi spelare/klubbfärger, se den större bilden.
Tackla hårt med kroppen är tufft.
Använda klubban är det inte.

@thedansell1 Vancouver was called for a cross check, not a high stick.

@Hughes4Norris No idea why Joesph is still playing when Mancini is healthy now
English

Got a point in a game they shouldn’t have, which is important when you’re trying to survive with injuries
Lankinen and EP40 played well. Those 2 arguably the most importantly players to see improvement from
Also, Willander led the team in most analytical stats👀 #Canucks
English

@patersonjeff @CanucksArmy Third worst team in allowed high danger shots (and chances) against. And the discussion still only revolves around offence? This team is atrociously bad on defense. It will be hopeless to compensate for this defense almost regardless of who they might trade for.

with #Canucks reaching 10-game mark this weekend, we’re looking for questions for a new
@CanucksArmy Monday Mailbag. What’s on your mind? 📬
English

@danriccio_ @Sportsnet650 Why is the general discussion focused on offense (about average on xGF 5v5 so far) but not how bad defense has been (almost worst in xGA)? Is Nucks defense overrated?
