Thread: What's wrong with the Canucks?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You have a chicken and the egg scenario regarding lacking scoring points. Maybe the defence has so few points because the # 1 line of Sedin, Sedin and Ericsson had so few goals and points.</div></div>

I hear what you're saying but speaking as someone who has watched this team every game through this last painful season, this is definitely a problem. While a lot of the Canucks D look good, none of them have shown much offense. Tanev, Edler, Tryamkin and Gudbranson are more defensive. Stecher and Hutton may have potential but they're unproven and are not capable of running a powerplay, at least not yet. Jolevi doesn't look to be that guy either. The Canucks tried to plug this hole with Larsen last year and it totally failed. If it still doesn't work with proven NHL offensive d-men, then I'd have to agree with you but they won't know until they try. In this scenario they really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The alternative is to keep doing what they're doing.
