Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Islanders - 6-5 (Pettersson x2, OEL, Boeser, Aman, Beauvillier)

[Breakers]

Management and coaching on the same page as always with Kuzmenko

 

[wonton15]

Honestly, it’s not like kuzmenko is looking amazing out there, the guy is young, it’s a back to back, he’s gonna be fine

Kuzmenko just turned 27. His confidence looks shot already. Im not super worried but it’s hard to watch so much talent get benched. I get the defense part but come on you don’t give a guy like this 11 minutes…

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Canuck fans have weird thing with fan favourites. I remember the fans loving Bob Essensa.

 

[Coffee]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the Canucks are going to be alright.

The Canucks hold assets other bottom feeders don’t possess.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Kuzmenko benched again.

Tocchet sending a message..Boudreau did the same

 

[sting101]

Tocchet is going to ruin Kuzmenko isn’t he

 

[Breakers]

If a coach has any credibility he would bench Tyler Myers

 

[iceburg]

If a coach has any credibility he would bench Tyler Myers

And OEL….and Boeser

 

[Jeremy Hronek]

I am fine with a Kuzmenko benching, it just seems like no other players are being held accountable for their mistakes.

who cares for once a coach is saying play hard or sit....like it

sick of the country club that has persisted here

 

[Gurn]

Sending messages is ok, but why did they sign a guy for two years, that they have to keep 'messaging'?

Maybe they think they can 'teach him' defense over the next couple of years?
And then sign him long term for big dollars.

Sure but the alternative isn’t any better. We basically only have two NHL defenceman.

 

[me2]

Looks like we might have a keeper on the fourth line, he has some size also.

Just need to teach him how to penalty kill

That highlights one of the problems with the Canucks. They don't get good PKers and then the PK sucks and they are confused then get more bottom 6 non-PKers. I like PDG but management has to fix the PK with PKers at some point, we can carry a few non-PK projects but not a bottom 6 made out of them.

Got the ass part alright.

It's not about ability it's about effort, being on the right side of pucks and process. Obviously Myers is gonna be a mess he usually is.

Yeah...it's called fans.

Kuz has had games earlier in the year where he was an empty sweater..You have to show up..

Probably something you can get away with in the KHL, but not the NHL

I think your team looks pretty damn good.

PDG can kill penalties.

Kuz is still learning English.

So is Tocchet.

So communication is tough.

 

[me2]

If Horvat scores one more, I insist my hat trick prediction still count.

I will accept that. The "Horvat Hattrick" an ES goal, a PP goal and a disallowed goal.

 

[LordBacon]

my fav jouralist iMac on again

 

[krutovsdonut]

imac: boeser needs to play better to get traded.

 

[canuckking1]

Part of me wants to see the Islanders make the playoffs, if only to see Playoff Bo ruin the dream season of the Bruins.

 

[sting101]

Horvat should challenge Miller and go for the Gordie Howe hattrick
