Post-Game Talk: A New Level of Suckage | Canucks 0 @ Jets 2

[Pip]

No idea why he went for a skate toward center ice after that bad breakout pass. Almost gave the Jets a clean 3-on-1.

It's still really early in his NHL career, but he's gone full Sbisa a few times.

He's not that young and does have quite a bit of pro experience as well.

 

[canucksfan]

Thought the young guys would be playing a lot better. Tryamkin is the only one doing really well.

 

[quat]

Is this the worst hockey the nucks have ever played? Looks like they have completely packed it up.

It looks like they have no idea what they're doing. I think this is as much on the coaching staff as it is the players. Just guessing.

 

[pateramus]

Ohhh Markstrom looking hot tonight!!!!

 

[canwincup]

McCann looks awful...he definitely needs some AHL time.

 

[Canucker]

lol we are getting owned by one of the worst teams I've ever seen

And yet we still have a chance of winning this game. Sad.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Daniel, buddy...this team is not bad because the young guys aren't trying. They're bad because they're bad.

 

[NucksRuleYep]

And this is after Daniel called the team out. Bodes well for tank nation.

Daniel Sedin isnt used to losing. Since 99 when drafted this will be the worst year he has had to play.

 

[me2]

Honesty couldn't have hoped for more. He's easily better than Weber and Bartkowski. Fitting in nicely with Hamhuis.

I am wondering where that leaves Larsen? If Benning wants to go playoffs again can he really go into the season with Larsen at #4 untested? Sbisa as RS 2nd pairing? Interesting dilemma.

Pedan could be waived if Hamhuis is back. If the get a proven #4, Sbisa and Larsen could be 7-8, not bad.

 

[Tiranis]

Daniel, buddy...this team is not bad because the young guys aren't trying. They're bad because they're bad.

Ehhh... I think he's right to an extent. For example a guy like Etem doesn't try at all. Constantly on the perimeter, doesn't hit and avoids all contact.

 

[Uhmkay]

Tryamkin with a penalty........ bust!

 

[Nucker101]

Petan looks great tonight

 

[quat]

Grenier looks freaking inept. He's coughed the puck up for chances three times in this period.

Well, that's a weak call on the Tree.

 

[The Drop]

Pedan is horrible. Hard to believe he's not only the same age as Corrado but was drafted higher.

It's ok though. Because third round picks barely make it right? And Benning is ahead of the curve getting these guys that can play now

 

[banme*]

Markstrom is fairly good

 

[Tiranis]

Grenier looks freaking inept. He's coughed the puck up for chances three times in this period.

I don't hate him. He covers a lot of ice. Creates turnovers. Decent positionally. We've got bigger problems on this roster, ones with a lot more NHL experience.

 

[me2]

Petan looks great.

 

[Nucker101]

Grenier looks freaking inept. He's coughed the puck up for chances three times in this period.

Yeah, Grenier seems like he'll top out as an AHL'er. Haven't seen any flashes of really strong play. He's not horrible or a big liability but nothing exciting either.

I like Gaunce though.

 

[PM]

Petan is fun to watch. This powerplay of theirs definitely looks better.

 

[NucksRuleYep]

Someone on cdc said the all time drought record is 233 minutes from 1984. It was on Tsn. So there we go. If we get shutout tonight we will be at 228 minutes... hahaha

I've really liked Grenier for a while now ... just pointing out he's been very weak in this period. A lot of the players look like they're playing afraid.

 

[canwincup]

Marky is playing real good.

 

[PM]

Yeah, Grenier seems like he'll top out as an AHL'er. Haven't seen any flashes of really strong play. He's not horrible or a big liability but nothing exciting either.

I like Gaunce though.

I'd be fine giving him half a season in Dorsett's spot before tossing him away. I'd like to see a fourth line next year of Kenins - Gaunce - Grenier but I doubt it ever happens.

 

[Tiranis]

I've really liked Grenier for a while now ... just pointing out he's been very weak in this period. A lot of the players look like they're playing afraid.

I'm half watching this period. My bad.

I've liked Grenier in the AHL games I've seen, might just be overthinking things in the NHL but he hasn't impressed me in any area of the ice.
