One of the best 1-2 punches down the middle in the league. Everyone wants to throw it away because they can’t get along. I don’t care who’s at fault or who hurt whose feelings.
They are grown fucking men and if we throw away a legit shot at a cup, which a 1-2 punch like this gives you. I’d be hard pressed to have belief in this team.
Grown ass fucking dudes, lock em in a room and let them figure it out. Sick of it. Sick of this bullshit talk about this bullshit rift. If they can’t figure it out then fuck them both in my book.
Oof. Is it odd that I can’t think of a dangerous 3v3 Canucks line to deploy?
That was a choke. But we got a point so whatever
Also Quinn is an amazing amazing hockey player. But, if there is actually a rift in the locker room then can he be the one to mend it? Is it his job to mend it as the captain?
Also tocc needs to put miller and petey back on PP1 ,stop trying to galaxy brain it,
Im not sure why they dont go back to miller, petey and Hughes in overtime as that trio was always so dominant
This team really can’t create shit without hughes being involved, actually crazy how bad our forwards are at making anything happen. Our leading forward having 26 points at this point of the season is wild. Pettersson making 12 mil and on pace for like 70 points is our top scoring forward right now and none of them can consistently generate chances without hughes
Ugh this Petey vs miller thing is so exhausting. It was literally a hack article with no real backing that recently said this, nothing recent for their reasoning.
This team can be contenders but there is just something wrong. Something extremely wrong.
I am a fan of Miller, but if all this talk of friction in the room is true, I think Miller is getting traded. They might wait till the off season to see if this can get solved, but no chance the younger Petey gets traded over Miller if thats the deciding factor. Petey has been the better player this year. They’ll get a haul for Miller sooner rather than later. And without knowing the facts of his leave of absence, if it was the organization that told him to take a break.. That could be further proof of what is actually going on.
I know we’ve had injuries but Sherwood and Suter shouldn’t be 2 of our top 3 goal scorers. I love em but our stars have to be in those spots.
I can’t believe there’s so much negative energy after an OT loss like this.
You’d think after the year the Canucks had last year, we could give out stars the benefit of the doubt that they will round out their best game in January/February.
And it’s not like our record is horrendous. It’s more than half decent.
We just got Demko back. Miller’s back, and people are already ripping on him on a bad play in OT and want him gone. Petey’s apparently back to bumming his 11.6, too.
Give your heads a fucking shake. Unbelievable.
I don’t like to be hyperbolic about a loss… but I think the switch has been flipped for me. If Tocc can’t have his team play together and cohesively, then he should be gone.
Step 1 for any coach is having your team play as a cohesive unit. They don’t need to be friends, they just need to play as a team. The obvious toxicity from the room is too much.
Tocchet is failing step 1 as a coach.
JT had a pretty good game outside of that OT play, chill
I have a hard time believing these friction rumours.
Do I believe there are conflicting personalities in a locker room? Yes.
But you don’t have to be BFFs with your colleagues. You just have to have professionalism to work together because this is work.
I don’t believe the difference in personality between 2 athletes can’t be sorted out in a mature and professional manner.
Call me crazy but I think having Sasson on Petey’s wing is a little overzealous. He’s good and I’m happy he’s getting his big shot, but he is not a top 6 forward yet.
Miller 5v5xGF% 73% tonight.
You’d think the way people are talking about him that he skinned a puppy at centre ice. He had a bad moment on the backcheck on the winner but his game overall tonight was great.
Gotta love how so-called fans jump to speculation after every loss. Call yourselves supporters, yet you’re out here ripping into the players and coach like you know better. Keep fueling the rumors too.
This team has had bad energy ever since JT Miller came back. I have a feeling he won’t be on this team for long if the wheels come off this season.
2021-22: Petey on-ish, JT really on, Horvat on
2022-23: Petey really on, JT off, Horvat on
2023-24: Petey on-ish, JT really on
2024-25: Petey off-ish, JT off-ish
This might be the first time in a while where none of our centers are stepping up. If they don’t do anything, we can add Byram and Andersson and Pettersson and it won’t matter because our top 6 can’t figure it out.
This sub is gonna lose it shit when they trade G Petey. He is the one available for movement this year.
Just my humble opinion. Right or wrong he is the easiest asset to move.
Edit: not blaming or hating. Just an opinion.
I don’t think it’s a betrayal as a fan to notice this season has had way too many deep dives in the loss column, and to pigeonhole some of our star players to not be picking it up when we need it most.
Debrusk has been great, but when he’s not scoring, it feels like this team can’t. Garland now hasn’t scored in 9 games. Boeser, Miller, and Petey didn’t hit the score sheet.
Demko kept us in this game at the start, and at the end. Another Myers penalty, soft or not, is expected here. We blew a two goal lead in the third. We’ve been blown out by Boston and New Jersey, but defeat Colorado, and demolish Florida.
It’s incredibly inconsistent, and as a fan, you can’t help but try and ( try to ) put your finger on the pulse. Petey makes the most, so it’s easy to analyze, or over analyze. But the reality is, he’s paid to be a difference maker. We needed that. And we needed it from miller and Boeser too. They’re our star players.
Until they can reach that consistency again for this season, it’s hard to be confident in this team right now. Because Sherwood and garland and blankinen may be great feel good stories, but they’re likely not going to win the conn smythe for a Stanley cup run for us here. Feel good streaks run out at some point. And we’re looking like a .500 team at most going into the Christmas break.
And Rutherford sees this too.
Everyone needs to chill. This entire team is not playing offence because our defence sucks. This forces the forwards to play defensive hockey and make rather simple plays. Hopefully we can acquire a top 4 dman and then maybe another stout dman and this team can play a little bit more care free. I believe that’s a big issue for us, when Hughes isn’t on the ice, the guys all try to play safe hockey.
Cooled off after that one.
Tied at 38 points in 31 GP with the proclaimed wagon of the league (at least one of them) Edmonton Oilers.
(tied for 2nd for most loser points in the league tho, make of that what you will)
Regardless, I’ll take it. Get Hronek back, reset over Christmas, maybe a trade after the new year. The light will shine on us again
This team has some problems with skating, consistency, and hockey IQ. The top 6 needs to be better, same with the defence.
Also I know that Garland finished with the most TOI of a forward today but he isn’t a top sixer, doesn’t have the finish.
Hughes is really the only fun thing about this team.
Rewatched the highlights.
Canucks did the turtling thing after going up 2-0. You wonder why the hockey looked so boring despite that? It’s because of turtle hockey. I HATE it when they do this, man. Did they not learn from that home opener game vs Calgary?
Yeah, bogus penalty on Myers. Yes, Miller cost us in OT. Blah blah blah but fuck man, I thought we were over this blowing a multi-goal lead in the third period and losing in OT BS already.
After being aggressive and completely shutting down the first couple Utah PPs, why did they sit back on that last one?
I personally feel Petey has got the pep back in his step. Defensively playing amazing. Offensively tonight he made unreal moves and held the puck. Could have easily had a few points.
Millers playing Awsome aswell, that one back hand rebound was amazing, almost went in. His game will come into form just think he needs a few more games to get into game shape physically and mentally.
Demmer back to back solid performances, he’s gonna heat up here real soon.
Our defense is honestly holding it down given the circumstances.
Record is solid 16-9-6. Big matchup against Vegas tomorrow and the next four are all winnable.
Keep up the good vibes guys!
Jeez, I was on HF in 2010 after we got eliminated by Chicago for the second year in a row, and that place was *more* civil towards the team than this sub is now.
Very iffy game imo. Some players showed up, some didn’t. Weird how bi-polar this team is. Go to shutout the cup champs, get killed by Boston, then destroy the Avalanche and almost shut them out, now lose to a very meh Utah team.
And Demko played great but we have to play great in front of him, hockey is a team sport. Can’t expect him to bail us out every game especially because he only has 4 games under his belt.
Gotta find that identity too. It’s December so we have some time, but they gotta figure it out sooner rather then later. Oh and the Miller-Petey thing has to go away if the things I’m hearing are true. I might be wrong, but still, I’d rather nobody argue with each other.
I wouldn’t worry now though, you cant win them all.
Oof this post game thread is brought to you by:
Bad takes, fake rumours, knee jerk trade talk and over reactions.
If you see this at the top, do yourself a favour and close this!
Our first two lines haven’t scored in 3 games, all our goals have been by 3rd and 4th liners
lmao, post game from Tocchet didn’t even last 90 seconds.
This whole petey vs miller thing is dumb, have we seen them argue on the ice or bench during a game? No, then it shouldn’t be that big of a deal
Pettersson and Miller are gonna go at each other at 4 Nation faceoff if usa vs Sweden happens 😂😂😂
Something tells me a normal trade is gonna happen tomorrow with the Canucks.
We aren’t trading Petey you crazy fucks
Hughes is so good. We cannot waste his talent and need to win the Cup this year and next. Allvin needs to make some calls.
Can’t wait for us to win tomorrow and have a 3/4 point road trip where everyone thought the world was ending because JT Miller can be a little mean sometimes
Nearly 800 comments on a regular season PGT damn…
Why did I have a feeling that the Canucks would the most Canucks thing ever. Lose to the Soakers
Another poor start and yet we could have easily won that game, that last penalty was a back breaker though and can always count on Myers to do that, again not surprised we lost based on how we played, lucky to get a point but demmer was amazing!
The reality is this team would be in the basement if it wasn’t for having a generational defencemen and stellar goaltending propping it up. The sad part is the depth players have been great chipping in when they can, it’s the highly paid players that have been the biggest disappointment, like they don’t seem to care at all with the lack of effort they put in.
Also, the Petey and Miller BS behind the scenes is a distraction that may not work itself out.
I’m not even mad. Good hard fought game.
Our core is so good on paper but can’t score like I don’t get it
