Post-Game Talk: Canucks lose 2-0; Best player? Empty net

[Pseudonymous*]

This has got to be one of the toughest stretches to watch as a Canucks fan. Unbearable. Even more so than during the 10 game losing streak under AV, where Burrows played hero.

How can a team continue to score so little without some serious adjustments, I don't know. They are still trying to play the same way, expecting a different result.

This has bothered me so much. The same people, the same way

 

[LiquidSnake]

Boy, that "everyone's accountable" philosophy sure looks hollow right now. Kassian pays for every little mistake, while others are free to play absolutely baffling hockey.

Agreed. It's laughable.

The fact that Torts isn't taking any heat is puzzling.

He's turned this team into an injury riddled shot blocking gang of plugs.

 

[Bgav]

Outside of Lack, Diaz was our best player tonight and he didn't even play..... let that sink in

nice

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Honestly, I knew that Lack had the "it" factor, but I never expected him to do this well so soon. The reports of him having better overall skillset then schneider seem to be true, ridiculous player.

I kept telling people...

Goal-tending wont be a problem for a long time with Luongo, Lack, Eriksson...

The scoring though... my god.

 

[timw33]

Bad bad bad bad bad.

 

[Type Not Specified]

Well, we struggle to maintain possession 5-on-4... why would it be any different 6-on-5?

This team looks absolutely lifeless. No forecheck, no transition game, no awareness on the ice, and no creativity with the puck whatsoever. It looks like the guys all went out and got wasted last night and are severely hung over... but it's looked like that for a month now.

I don't understand this either.

 

[The Optimist]

I, for one, am disappointed by the lack of panic in this thread.

tell me about it, if you're part of the top core players you get free reign to keep doing stupid ****.

reminds me of the crawford days

 

[Bgav]

If the Canucks are in a win now mode which I assume they are and I was Gillis if call up Garth snow and say what do you want for vanek and I'd give it to him

Set the incoming rebuild even further back? Not worth it

 

[member 202355]

Needs more Diaz

 

[EpochLink]

Offense is god awful
AWFUL, something Gillis hasn't addressed for 2 ****ing years.

Looks good on him though...already #fireGillis is on twitter

 

[canucksfan]

One of the better forwards over the last few games was Kassian at least from the viewing time I had. He gets benched. Stupid move.

 

[thekernel]

Booth, Hansen, and/or Burrows need to be healthy scratches. They all need a kick in the ass so hard it's not even funny. Why can't anyone make a pass? Why can't anyone get open for a shot or drive to the net for a scrum? Daniel's shot is dead, that limp-dicked backhander in the 3rd was just unbelievable.

There were only two positives in this game. Henrik's passing was on point, and Eddie Lack continues to make saves off of brutal turnovers. Two players playing well do not a victory make though.

And yet this team was kicking ass 1 month ago. To go from good to this terrible in 1 month is beyond bizarre. I have not been impressed with the coaching lately, at all.

The system is breaking down, there is no generation of chances of the rush, the zone entries are rotten, the cycling seems to be cycling for cycling sake. We could get this out of Joe Sacco.

Santorelli, Henrik and co. were ablet to sustain some decent play during that stretch and the goaltending was great. It was also probably a bit of a lucky stretch on top of that. They were playing well defensively though. However with Santorelli gone for the season and Henrik playing injured, this team is going nowhere and they know it. It doesn't help that Dan Sedin and Burrows do **** all. When the 1st line is healthy, we could usually count on about 60 goals from those 2 combined (in a good season). Edler is crap too. This team is just painful.

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

well im putting $100 on boston tomorrow that's an ass whopping waiting to happen. Sucks because this team was actually playing well a few months ago and curb stomped the bruins. Now im expecting a 6-0 type of game.

That was this season? Jesus...

 

[Basso]

My god this was another offensive debacle. Daniel Burrows our two top line wingers have become 15 goal scorers, combined.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This has got to be one of the toughest stretches to watch as a Canucks fan. Unbearable. Even more so than during the 10 game losing streak under AV, where Burrows played hero.

How can a team continue to score so little without some serious adjustments, system wise, I don't know. They are still trying to play the same way, expecting a different result.

This is beginning to worry me. I cannot say if it's coaching related or personnel related, but something needs to change. We are so unbelievably static, the entire league knows exactly how to play us.

 

[Sabs*]

No worries still in a playoff spot and everyone behind us is no good. We'll be like LA and come in 8 th and go all the way. Sedans have to do it this year before they get to old

 

[Nucks N Canes]

I, for one, am disappointed by the lack of panic in this thread.

Not enough effort is the key. Daniel sedins wrist seems like a toddlers.

 

[Canucker]

Agreed. It's laughable.

The fact that Torts isn't taking any heat is puzzling.

He's turned this team into an injury riddled shot blocking gang of plugs.

At least we're "tough" now.

 

[Luic]

Daniel thinks their getting looks on the PP. Yikes

 

[VanillaCoke]

If the Canucks are in a win now mode which I assume they are and I was Gillis if call up Garth snow and say what do you want for vanek and I'd give it to him

That's the worst possible decision.
