Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Blackhawks - 5-2 (Kuzmenko x2, Joshua, Dries, Horvat)

[arttk]

That's the benefit of having a coach that played over 1000 games and had an extremely successful career

Teaching him how to deal with Myers

 

[RutherPlan]

Say what you want, but Tocchett sounds awesome. A lot more articulate and tactical than I expected.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Wayne Gretzky scored a million points and couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag.

Scotty Bowman never played an NHL game.

So we'd be better off hiring someone who has never even heard of hockey right? XDXD.

I hope everyone in the world can find someone who looks at them like this board looks at confirmation bias.

 

[Diogenes92]

Ownership and management's plan to distract media and fans from the organizational shitshow is working wonders so far. Amazing what a disastrous coaching change can do to rejuvinate the hopes of a fanbase!

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

So a .475 lifetime coaching record gets a 3 year contract Head Coach gig with the Canooks at $2.75 million per year

Good to know

Fun facts - Willie D has a nhl coaching record of .487 and Travis Green is .478

Both with better records than Gambling Rick AFTER their Canucks tenure!!!

They had all the advantages of a big market team.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

ok so this is where i point out that when i was a kid i always thought rick tocchet looked like a giant evil fred savage

so what if thirty years later fred savage went full chiklis?

…

 

[Gurn]

Just checked the standings- Canucks now 8 points out of last.

 

[kcunac]

I hate to say this, and it’s never happened before, but I have to say: I hope we lose.

 

[Cogburn]

We string Bruce on for all those horrid games against the Hurricanes and Lightning and top teams in the league, and then bring in Tocchet for the extra soft Chicago Blackhawks?

Putting in Gambling Rick at this specific time was the only planned thing from this “management” group

They waited until the gauntlet was over and there was a “soft” spot on the schedule

Finally managed to register for an account on here but have been scrolling thru threads and been on the site for years now. Unfortunately, I am a Vancouverite which in turn means I am Canuck fan which atm is rough living. Happy to b here nonetheless!

 

[theguardianII]

Hope we get destroyed

Please play martin

Huge 4 point tank game

Can not afford a tie or win but of course we will screw it up

Tocchet is probably betting on a Canucks win


Based upon his record (coaching not criminal) it appears that tanking is all he knows

So a .475 lifetime coaching record gets a 3 year contract Head Coach gig with the Canooks at $2.75 million per year

3 years?, So is that this year and 2 more or 3 after this year? So confusing, I should ask Rutherford.

Probably a bump in play

But Chicago has been tanking from day one but that can have an unexpected result, all those Players playing for their next contracts, long time AHLers and older prospects guys start to figure out how to win because they played together with pretty much the same lines and coach.

They may actually have a better structure than the Canucks.

Who could have thought, DFL is possible.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Tick Tocch. Rick you're on the clock.

 

[Love]

If we lose tonight we’re only 5 points ahead of the Blackhawks and they have a game in hand

 

[geebster]

The best thing to come out of being an embarrassment to the league and chaotic management is how fun and funny this board has become. I enjoy shitposting and shitreading much more than the games itself.

Yeah I read these threads but don't watch the games haha

While finishing last does not guarantee picking Bedard, it does mean getting a top 3 pick.
being in the bottom 3 gets no lower than 5th pick!

With the Canucks, finishing last guarantees picking 3rd. Finishing 3rd guarantees 5th. Don't go through the pain of having hope. It isn't worth it here.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Wonder who plays in goal? Also for tomorrow? Help is appreciated.

 

[canuckking1]

Gonna be a lot More dull watching us lose 2-1 and 3-2 than 6-5 and 5-4

 

[Nucker101]

Wonder who plays in goal? Also for tomorrow? Help is appreciated.

If Tocchet wants to play the former team angle I’m guessing Delia today and then Martin tomorrow

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Apparently the Hawks are 6-2-0 in their last 8 games and are playing some good hockey. Take that for what it's worth.

I'm more or less curious to see how certain players respond to the coaching change. Miller being one.

 

[wonton15]

Happy annual coaching bump day!

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

If Tocchet wants to play the former team angle I’m guessing Delia today and then Martin tomorrow

I teresting. I thiught Martin tonight sire

 

[Nucker101]

I teresting. I thiught Martin tonight sire

He could. Neither goalie has really stepped up so it’s a toss-up, I’m just guessing that Delia vs former team could be a tiebreaker but then again it looks like another ex-Hawk Riley Stillman is going to be sitting out so I don’t think it’s a big factor, if at all.

Say what you want, but Tocchett sounds awesome. A lot more articulate and tactical than I expected.

Imagine if the Sedins had a Tocchet as their linemate
