1. This game triggered my Benning Era PTSD

2. Peterson will.never be a good player the playoffs proved it hes soft as a marshmellow

3. Something's going on with Pettersson…yeah it's obvious he's a fragile head case. Can we just get rid of him already? I'll fly from my home in Ottawa to Vancouver just so I can drive him to the airport.

4. Silovs hasn’t impressed me this year like he did last year

5. Pettersson is broken? No kidding. But what about the whole team was broken for this game. And why the hell would you put Silovs in net against a high scoring team that Canucks almost always lose to. This game seemed like some players were playing to get the coach fired.

6. Sorry Lego. I’m only here to comment that I can’t even watch this video as I turned the game off itself. That was embarrassing and I’m not gonna waste any more of my time on it tonight.

   On to the next one(that hopefully isn’t a laid egg)

7. I was at this game. So disappointing.

8. We should of waited till the offseason to resign Petterson. We could saved some of that much needed cap space. Hes been trash ever since signing that thing.

9. i feel the whole team was bad tonight i really only felt huggy keifs and garly were decent and even they weren’t great especially with that shorty from huggy and miller but i do think that’s more millers fault. Silovs needs to work on his goal tending or he’ll never be a starter in this league i know he’s young and going against good players but he just wasn’t good tonight, i’ve noticed toch doesn’t like changing goalies during the game which i feel is a bit of a weakness in his coaching. Myers needs to be moved to the 3rd pairing i don’t care what we have to do to bring him down but do it he’s more of a liability than anything he skates right into petey to make that 1st goal a 2 on 1, myers what are you doing trying to join a rush that isn’t there. i don’t know where our whole team was tonight and another thing send bains down to the 4th he doesn’t deserve top 6 minutes especially at his skill level

10. Bench him

11. Shuddup!

12. Petey and Debrusk… where are you??

13. carolina and NJ are a real reality check – they are on a different level. if petey has tendonitis it can last for a long time and it can affect every aspect of your play – not just skating

14. I was there at the game. Hoglander looked good in a limited role, Miller and Boeser looked okay honestly not as good though, and all the other forwards looked terrible… Hughes was good as always and Brannstrom was okay but not great and the other D men were not great. Silovs was terrible but the forwards don't check or pressure the D so they don't make the goalies life easier that's for sure

15. I missed it, does he wait?

16. Heinen – Blueger – Sherwood was the only line that stood out. This games shows how much we need Joshua back and isn't fair to Sherwood that he was working hard like he did the past few games. Garland and Hughes were the other notables who showed their amazing skating ability and strong puck possession. A 5ft nothing player throwing his gloves down to wake his team up…sad. Hronek wasn't to impressive with poor passes and puck handling which questions if he is able to anchor his own pairing. Special teams is a complete bust as of right now and need to come up with more ways to penetrate the offensive zone. So are the Canucks trying to reshape the square peg to fit into the round hole or should they reshape the round hole inorder to fit the square peg? Maybe Toc needs to watch more past videos of Petterson on how to effectively utilize him and maybe can get a better understanding of where to put him to be successful.

17. EP 40 waitibg for a buyout to light it up on his next team

18. *washed/busted

19. That game was a shitshow from top to bottom. There were multiple times on the power play where Petey was wide open at the right circle, just to have Hughes try to shoot from the point. This is literally right after an interview where Tocchet said Petey never has one timer opportunities anymore because people have figured him out, yet when he has those opportunities open nobody passes him the puck.

20. That loss to the Devils was a disaster on so many fronts, and there's no telling what changes will happen to this roster if any. That said, that dud of a performance I'm sure has already put pressure on the coaching staff and front office to make radical changes to this lineup because oh boy will the Canucks sink further in the standings if they don't sufficiently change the way they play, fast.

21. Can we put EP’s confidence on LTIR ?

22. It’s not just Petey. It’s the whole team (aside from garland) what happened today…

23. Probably wouldn't have won this game with Lankinen either

24. Gotta say Lego’s thumbnail game is peak based

25. As a Canucks fan, I hope Petey gets back to his old self, but what if he doesn't? What can management do to cut their losses? We all know hes a negative asset. Trading him would require throwing in 3 first round picks and retain $10M of his salary for the next 8 years. Is it possible to force Petey to break his contract, like by scratching him every single game until he gets frustrated enough to break his contract and sign with a new team? I hate to bring this up, but it's becoming a reality where the old Petey is gone.

26. Dude could have had an assist if the person in front was paying attention on the power play when he throw the shot pass across the crease player had an open net and didn’t have his head up

27. This was not a defeat, this is a shame. The Canucs are playing at the level of an AHL team. EP40…?!? Trade him please, ASAP!!!!

28. Trade EP40 for # 10 Johnathan Huberdeau straight up 1 for 1 Block buster exchange.
    Both players can use a change of scenery and EP40 can play with former player Andre Kuzmenko to regain his confidence.

29. Thank you, you guys who say otherwise are in denial

30. It's almost like Vancouver over performed last year🤔

31. You know it's bad when Garland steps up and starts fighting to get his team going. Whenever I hear someone suggest trading Garland I will just point to this game as to why you cant.

32. Silovs should be developing in Abotsford, Markstrom came to play against his former team.

33. Crazy to think, Miller was the guy people wanted out a few years back and now it’s Petey

34. Not for nothing, but as crucial as JT has been in most games this year so far, he's made some brutal giveaways in the o-zone that have led to grade A chances and goals for the opposition. It looks sometimes as if he's lazy and predictable in his play and I have to wonder if not playing those pre season games was a mistake. He sometimes looks like he's not game sharp and last night's dramatically awful "pass" to Quinn, who obviously never expected JT toss him the puck, is a perfect example. I doubt he can snap his fingers and make it better, it's something that has to come back as the season goes on but it's just one example of this team not clicking on all cylinders. Let's hope this game is the slap in the face the Canucks need to get it together.
