If he was healthy I would have posted the same thing but had his name. Or Nils Aman.
The point is - not good enough. Team filled with wingers has run into predictable issues.

I will say it took me a few yrs but after all that was going on within the organization from top down i've been numb to much expectation and void of making much of any financial or emotional investment.
I probably have more fun roster building, evaluating performance, dissecting draft picks and prospects and forming arguments on here than watching the games........ with expectations that is. I prefer the WHL also where things change much quicker and the cost effort and amount of chances is always top drawer
I've been involved in hockey my whole life so it just seems like what i do and part of who i am at this stage to observe analyze and be a part of the fan community. I simply don't let the ebbs and flows get too deeply rooted which works for me to remain a healthy relationship
I've come to the conclusion that as cool as it would be to raise a cup by the Canucks i doubt i would go to the after celebration and it's just not that important in my life and to just live in the moments and enjoy a wicked save goal game or performance
anyway sorry got a little too philosophical just offering up my seemingly healthy way to cope which seems to work and would recommend if it's affecting peoples lives negatively.
Lets get a damn win tonight. It aint gonna be easy. Were playing with a defense at this stage that's probably worse than the Ontario Reign
If i'm betting it's...... Hate to have 8...........l4-2 Seattle.
Set the bar low and good things are a bonus lol

I wonder if I'll watch more than the first tonight. Hope so. Despite my doom and gloom I always hope for a win.
Assuming I can stay awake. Long Covid fatigue rollercoaster f***ing sucks.

Seattle is a team of players that didn't have any expectations, they play without the pressure of "unfinished business".
IMO they have surpassed the Canucks already, sure the Canucks may have a few better players but they are a better team.
I watched the Colorado game, they smothered them. Watched some of the game against Buffalo, same thing.
Vancouver might not get a shot on goal in a period.
They have been locking it down in the third period.
Embarrassing now, what if the Canucks lose?
The Canucks look to have their best goaltender, best 3 or 4 forwards, 2nd and 3rd best defencemen.

Definitely what this team needs rn is to B2B Demko into the ground desperately searching for a win..
Jesus, it doesn't seem to matter who is running this club but they haven't got a clue how to utilize goalies. My bet is that Martin gets the 2nd game of the BTB... for the second time in a row. It will be his 8th career NHL game...

The only way we win this is by playing with discipline and structure. I suspect with this Seattle lineup that we should get a fair amount of good chances to counter punch from mistakes and the blitz our defense strategy they will employ.
Need puck support and lots of defensive cross ice gap coverage to prevent east west chances when they inevitably dominate down low on the cycle in our zone.
Demko will have to be sharp and our wingers need to do what they get paid for not waste chances
lets end this winless crap

After watching this team's mental fragility through seven games, I'm assuming the worst. Losing their eighth straight to the Kraken would pretty well be 'rock bottom'.
But this current Canuck blueline is just born to be chewed.....it just isn't close to being NHL-calibre.
If Demko plays tonight and they win --> Martin will play tomorrow
If Demko plays tonight and they lose --> Demko will play tomorrow
If Demko plays both night --> Demko will receive maintenance day, then be day-to-day, then week-to-week. Why? Because canucks.

If they don't win tonight, we're getting absolutely trounced tomorrow by Pittsburgh. I just can't see them getting over the mental hurtle of what would be an eight game losing streak against the Pens.
Tonight decides if we go winless in October.

The reasoning behind playing him on back to back nights is they have a three day break immediately afterwards. It's still dumb, though.
Given the high pressure circumstances surrounding this game tonight, I think it's better for the players that the game is in Seattle instead of at home. They are bound to make mistakes with their D corps, but they might actually be able to recover without the weight of the fans on their backs. The mental challenge is the biggest one right now.
Go for it, guys.
Go for it, guys.
Well the reasoning is they are in panic mode and he’s their #1 goaltender. 3 day break gives them something point to but panic is the reason.

Deja Vu almost a year ago Pittsburgh came in and beat us 4-1, jersey thrown on ice, Green and Benning fired. Maybe tomorrow will be Boudreau's last game as well. If so, the team will be even worse.

Even something that happens once in every 2,187 tries has to happen some time and to somebody. Sorry, you were truly unlucky.
