Nah, you’re right. Too reckless and not in a good way. Terrible penalties.

Think he’s looked alright but with the playoffs coming up I’d rather have a veteran take his place soon and give him some time at the Abby. He has the potential to be a good Top 9 piece but I don’t want to rush him during the most important stretch this club has had in over a decade.
ForethaBirdies
Jesus christ its so obvious by this point. He adds nothing to the line up. At least Aman is defensively sound
corh13
By all means, play him on the 4th line. But why the hell is he on top line and PP?
TheRook_
Bains deserved the call up, but I think it’s time to end the experiment and let him go back and help Abby. He’ll have a larger role there and will more than likely be given every opportunity to make the team next year.

Guys tearing up the AHL have not translated to NHL yet (Karlsson, Baines) it kind of makes me want guys like pod to stay for the year and then move up next year like hoggy did.

The problem is the forward depth is poor. Nils Aman is not much better.
If the Canucks don’t trade for another F at the deadline it might be hot dog time.

Basically sealed it for me when he was all alone in front of Talbot and went for a pass
If he isn’t scoring, then he’s just a defensive liability. Maybe the plan is to be a placeholder until Kessel is ready, but he shouldn’t be playing over Nils Åman
If you really want to, give someone else in the AHL a shot

100% agree, but I think the skills and IQ is there. He still needs time to cook in the AHL, but I think this has been a good learning stint for him. However I think that if we had been winning these past couple games, most people wouldn’t bat an eye. We’re just looking for someone to blame at this point

Similar stat line for a lot of our regulars recently

I agree, but god damn do we really need 10 posts about it.

after the colorado game he’s been progressively getting worse
CaptainIndoCanadian
He had a rough go of it today. Thats for sure.
I think he still has qualities that are intriguing but joining the team while 90% of the guys are in a rut probably hasn’t helped his case.
He knows what he needs to get better at now, and I think all it is, is fitness. He needs to bulk up.

I fucking miss dak
DMyourboooobs
He’s playing 5 minutes a night more than he should. Also I think he has 6 PIMs

Good experiences tho. Should be helpful in his development.
TheFrozenCanadianGuy
What about Podkolzin? When is he going to get called up? I’m assuming next season will be his trial
overthisbynow
He does some good things the hockey IQ is there he just doesn’t have any finish
fanbullshitdetector
Pretty sure it’s 6 PIM.
Even worse
rodudero
Disagree. The team’s losing streak makes him look worse than he is. Lines still haven’t been figured out either
JerbearCuddles
Show Petey, Lindholm and Mikheyev’s stats too. The team in general has been ass for 8ish games. Bains has looked solid. But he also doesn’t have the benefit of 55 games and a preseason to find chemistry. He’s been on the carousel with every line. Bains is not the problem. Our soon to be 12mil dollar player ghosting is the problem.
TheFearOfFear
He panics when it’s time to shoot the puck
IAmWench
Am I crazy? I was at the game. He made some killer defensive plays. He’s got it. We just were a wet blanket tonight,so we’re trying to find a scapegoat. Let’s not be the classic Van fans we are. Have we heard of the Peter Princple? Cause that is what seems to be happening.
yeetmemommmy
No shit. This is very apparent and nobody will say otherwise, but its not like the rest of the team has been any good either
Realistic_Ad7517
My guy, petey and lindholm werent much better. Im not gonna blame the rookie for this trainwreck game, our team outside jt and brock have been bad.
Hughes turning the puck over almost as much as petey, lindholm looking slow af. Suter cant receive a pass or make a pass, miky is just nothing. Garland at least had some good moments, bleuger js just working his ass off.
If you watched this game and think the problem was bains (who actually made some solid passes and plays in the ozone despite some mess ups) then you need to rewatch. There were 15 passengers today, the rookie isnt the problem.

If Canucks play the way they did against LA today… no way they even get past the 1st round. LA played like a playoff team, tons of grit and boxed us out many times. Even during our own PP they were inside our zone pressuring us. This is the way our coach wants the canucks to play against other teams…. I would be not happy in that locker room if I was the coach. But, maybe this is what the guys need right now.. a bunch of losses so they know when playoffs hit… you’re going to have to be even better.
ImAnAfricanCanuck
I think we should call Dries back up. he was good for us last year and actually put some some points.
Darth_Vicious
I cannot change your mind. Stupid penalties and not having a nose for the net at the NHL level means he isn’t ready.
