When’s Tocchet gonna tell his team to start shooting at 20% again, I thought they were shooting that good because of the way he coached them.
I was listening to one of their podcasts and they are atrocious at generating chances and shots

Down around Chicago level

Lankinen saved them thus far.

Since the all star game last year up until now, Canucks have been a 0.500 team

Imagine your top six going four straight games now without a point. Four straight!

LOL, who would've thought a team that had multiple players overachieving last season with high shooting % would fall back straight down to Earth.
Couldn't happen to any other fanbase. Eat shit, canuck fans. Have fun trading either soft ass Petterssson or temper tantrum Miller.

Nucks predictably lose tonight. Last night they would've lost to almost anybody in the league but Utah. Was a disgusting poor game and Nucks had 5 shots in first 32mins of the game. You don't need any coach press release to say the teams not playing. The team is going nothing. As others have mentioned its a team that just somehow expected to be 20% shooting magic the rest of their careers. The fall off so predictable. This is a nothing roster. Quinn Hughs and Petey your star players, you ain't getting far.

Unlike others I think JT Miller is the only one that delivers on that club.

I still remember nuck fans on social media from last season angrily denying that players like Hoglander overachieving would fall back to normal next season.
But but but we swept you in the regular season! But but but we didn't have Demko in the playoffs! Their previous season mimics the 2014-2015 version of the flames. Same shit with overachievers with high shooting % surrounded by cocky ass fans. I generally have my disdain for other fans like the leafs, but nuck fans just fade back to ghosts when their team isn't good. Most fairweather Canadian fanbase in the NHL by far.

Miller is annoying, but he cares. Just doesn't channel his leadership very well.

Yesterday that other f***** in their media, Farhan Lalji, said this about Pettersson. "sometimes you just have to grow up and stop being a kid" when talking about him in the locker room

I hope they fall much harder. Their fans were soooo cocky last year. After their first good season in forever. I ran into too many of them. Laughing about pdo talk. "you want to get spanked 8-2 again?" "4-0"

My disdain for Nucks comes solely from how many idiots I have come into contact with. They have by far the most annoying and dumbest fans I've encountered in real life.

The I get some twirp PM me a week ago daring me to take my Schtick to the mains. Lolll. Telling me to go to the mall we have here as we got nothing else to do. Looked him up next day and looks like accounts gone

Lol

Even when the Nucks have things go wrong (Miller, Pettersson, shooting % coming back to earth), they STILL have enough random things go right to fart along and push games to OT. As Miller and Pettersson embarrass themselves, the likes of Sherwood, Heinen, Debrusk, and Suter are lighting it up. That's not to mention Lainkenen saving their ass.

Tocchet has them surviving. All from a Hronek injury. It's like Nik Lidstrom is out lol

getting goaltending. They play a very very very boring low event game. It's terrible to watch. They have one play. Dump it in, chase it, if they get it they throw it back to Hughes. Shoot through screens. Rinse and repeat.

They play 50/50 coinflip hockey.

They have been bailed out alot b/c of their atrocious starts to most games. Goalies make some big saves to keep games 0-0

This is what I was talking about

Over their past 15 games the #Canucks have generated fewer than 22 shots on goal per hour at 5-on-5. That ranks 32nd of 32 NHL teams since Nov. 18th - and is a full shot beneath the 31st place team (NY Islanders). Club just isn't generating nearly enough

You're bang on that their offence is almost exclusively generated by launching point shots and hoping for deflections or rebound tap ins. Of the 22 on goal they probably launch 50 from the point and the rest are blocked.

I think that is why they have a high shooting % for some guys, but I have not watched every goal they have scored.
