A big issue I have with our team, especially when you watch others, is we hesitate to shoot the puck and try to find the perfect play way too much. Miller has been horribly guilty of it lately, Petey was earlier before his current stretch of good play, and guys like Garland are too and remaining on the perimeter.
Why the fuck did they not give zadorov 1 extra year? Could’ve bought him out the last one SMH
Love Sportsnet cutting off Lanks interview
Juulsen and Heinen looked great today, love to see it
our defense is in shambles Soucey and Myers are awful right now and if this continues we are in trouble
Brannstrom and Julsen being our best 2nd pair defense is bad news
The amount of brain dead takes in this thread is astounding
As bad as we looked tonight, there’s a few bright spots. Petey is back, brannstrom looking better each game and we’re still without our best scorer and starting goalie.
Looking at the standings, we’re still in a very good position plus games at hand. Gives us more time and leverage to fix up issues but hopefully sooner than later. GG on to the next game
Also, looking back on the 4-2 goal, I think Tocc benched Miller largely for his defensive lapse on it.
Maybe I’m in the minority but I thought we played pretty well tonight and were easily the better team 5 on 5. Even defensively at 5 on 5 we barely had any grade As against. PK let us down, looked way too easy for Nashville
Although we lost; Petey was Dominant in that game. It’s crazy how far he’s come! Unreal zone plays
Tocc was just saving his timeout so he has 2 next game
Thought we looked great everywhere but the PK and second PP. We are getting there. Hughes is absolutely unreal… Top 5 in the league no doubt
Kind of hope they let Brannstrom go a little longer in the next game, feels like he’s earned more than 15 minutes a night, and then you can see if there’s anything more there or if he’s just a solid 3rd-pair guy
Honestly, this is the type of loss we would have shrugged our shoulders and moved on with last year.
Day 2 of a back to back, and we largely dominated 5v5. The Preds aren’t nearly as bad as their record says, they still have a lot of deadly pieces and they showed up tonight. We have had stinkers recently but tonight was okay
Wasn’t JT benched last November against the Preds? I think that benching was more brief but seemed to be a turning point for him then.
I expected a tough night for him on a B2B but if his injury is making him a defensive liability, he needs to rest. He definitely shouldn’t be on the penalty kill, even just for faceoffs, because he keeps getting stuck out there
That was disappointing
All the clowns who thought we didn’t need the likes of Zadorov must feel like complete donkeys… This team lacks physicality, drive, determination, etc… This team is inept, uninspiring and out of ideas 🤷🏽♂️
That sucked big time. But I’m so sick and tired of our fan base. I’m reading takes that I earnestly thing are kneejerk canucks and I’m realizing…nope. chill the fuck out guys. November is not our month
i think we looked better this game
Ever since Demko came down, the guys just haven’t been playing the same.
In high danger shots against, Canucks are ranked near the bottom. Last year they were 14th.
Ofc it’s not the type of stat you’ll like to see (COL, TBL, BOS, TOR) were above us. But that goes to show that the guys had confidence in Demko and would tend to go for the riskier offensive plays
Also I’m getting frustrated with the status of Demko
this is just a rant and has nothing to do with the play of the team right now but stop being so coy about him and tell us the timeline, I’m sick of hearing 2-3 weeks…in the playoffs I understand holding your cards close to your chest but I don’t see how keeping it a big secret about an injury that’s gone on almost 8-9 months now is some how going to benefit other teams from not knowing the truth and just frustrate the fan base
Fuck Jeannot
Stamkos killed us
Can we have Petey and Miller firing at the same time??
Some thoughts on the game:
– another early goal against, sure our record is decent when we get scored on first but its not a recipe for success
– Miller only played 11 ish minutes, clearly he got benched and was quite frankly not good enough
– 5 on 5 play seemed okay but the boys ran out of gas at the end
– Soucy and Myers NEED to be separated, they are currently bleeding goals and chances against when on the ice
– 4th line was good, Pettersson dominating and carrying play
– Our PK which was our strong suit, fell apart in this game, need to tighten up
– Rangers on Tuesday, we will not beat them unless everyone on the team shows up for 60
miller looked so sad
Frauds, this team was supposed to be cup contenders, deshardians horrible, forbort injured, myers soucy play too much they look like shit
Feel like we’re really bad at getting the puck out when we really need to. The first goal was after a couple of times where we went to clear and sent it right to the other team.
Where to begin…? Can’t really be bothered.
This season might just be one of those write-off years. We started way behind the eightball with Demko, Petey, Joshua, Miller and Boeser all fucked at some point. Might just be one of those years.
Long way to go, but right now things look pretty poor.
At least there was a solid effort. If it wasn’t for the stinky home record so far this one would have been a meh. Just sucks to lose to a shit team when we have put up such bad performances recently.
Stinker PK, but overall a good game. The boys deserved better, they played well.
Well I really enjoyed that Petey blast; Hughes really put it on the tape there. And Brannstrom continues to impress.
Josi and Dak at the puck dropoff is pure class.
Anyways, this is a game the Canucks probably should have won, or at the very least go to OT.
This team has the most insufferably overconfident and reactionary fan base in the league.
Welcome all the bandwagoners to hop off at any time. Doubt this will be a wagon year.
Not a horrible effort tonight.
Could have pulled one out with some luck but it still feels like we’re missing a gear.
Miller is clearly hurt and battling for us but he probably needs to take some time off unfortunately. We’re missing his forcheck and shot in a big way.
Petey is making a return which might allow us to survive what feels like an inevitable Miller absence.
We need another top 4 defenseman in a bad way. I’ve disliked Myers since he joined the Canucks but thought he had a good year last season. I’m back to not wanting him on the roster lol.
We have a solid record and have lots to build on. I still think we can roll 4 solid lines with any team and push the play for the most part. Lots of guys have room to step up and start putting up points regularly. Alvin will bring in some help sooner than later and hopefully we can get some consistency back.
Team day off tomorrow, hope they all get together and do some trust exercises or something
Score doesn’t reflect how we played because I thought we played well. Pettersson another dominant game and driving play, I genuinely think hes back. And man, Sherwood is going to age so well for us. Seems to hit everything that moves and has offensive talent along with being a pest. Heinen I think could age well too.
You’ve probably heard everybody else say it too but Soucy-Myers is struggling. We gotta find somebody to fill in the gap there. They are both good defensemen but I think them playing this much impacts their performance overtime. If they played third line minutes they would probably be better.
Gotta stay out of the box. Hoglander putting that puck over glass killed momentum, and I didn’t see the other penalty that lead to the other goal but we should be better.
On to the next. I damn hope we win on Tuesday because I’m going to that game.
Was at the game, honestly didn’t feel like a bad effort? A little more puck luck and maybe a different story. Special teams were the obvious difference: PK was atrocious (how you gonna let Stamkos rip it like that completely unchallenged TWICE??) and the second powerplay we had was laughable. Glad Sherwood got his goal though, he was super noticeable the entire game, for both good and not so good reasons lol
I’m not seeing alot of the tocchet staples that we saw last season… Lots of bad body language, effort, hustling for line changes, going through guys, etc. Almost need to go back to grade school for that and build back up
