dominate possession, let in goals in a miscue or two, fan on multiple open nets

we used to wonder how we could win despite poor outings, now we're wondering how we're losing despite good showings

It's the 2011 final, but the regular season!

Team can't score, Luongo lets in some softies.

What's the point of even making the playoffs this year. The Canucks can't score goals, and they'll be knocked out in 4-5 games again.

How do we have so many chances but not ****ing convert. This is honestly the most frustrated I've been with this team and I was patient with them with Florida.

I'm still of the opinion that they need to practice taking one timers and shots in practice. They have the system down but they desperately need to work on their personal skills.

Had to turn off CBC. Can't deal with ******** studio 42.

How the **** do we keep fanning on those chances... Chicago was nice enough to sit back and let us create them too.

Good game, good effort, but just can't score. You aren't going to win games with one goal. Gillis, do something!!

Yup, it was bad. But what's even worse is our offense's ability to score.

They're two ****ing different things.

Your inability to discuss anything about Luongo in any more depth than 'Nya nya our offense sucks worse!!!' makes you obnoxious and unreadable as a poster.

It's not rocket science that we might be struggling offensively AND not be getting good enough goaltending, either.

I dont understand why when other goalies score goals against us its because we can't score, yet Luongo hasn't stolen a single goal this season. He was playing great until those 9 seconds. Very frustrating game, but we played well. Burrows has veen amazing, only if he could get some luck and pot one.

Not surprised, I have never seen a team as snake bitten and inept as this. Not never but still... What the hell is going on?

This is the worst, Canucks dominate a team and lose again while in bizzarro world Reimer makes 50 saves and leafs get 2 points

I know this can't continue forever. I just hate seeing so many grade A chances go wide, hit the post, hop off a stick, get blocked at just the right angle, get completely stoned in tight, etc etc etc AD ****ING NAUSEAM

Is it December yet?

I firmly believe it won't be long before these start going in, the Canucks this year have been playing much better than they have in years and yet have more losses to show for it. Everyone wants to trade for a scorer, well I can't blame them as I'm starting to have a hard time holding my gasket when a huge open net gets wasted. But I know it's a long season...

that was a kick to the gonads

los angelas isn't a must win as there's still over 50 games left but the pressure is going to mount pretty damn quickly if they waste another good effort with questionable goaltending and an inability to bear down on scoring chances

The team sucks, period. Unfortunately because Gillis hand out NTC's like candy we're gonna have to ride this out and just hope we can rebuild through the draft. Really don't want Gillis to give up any prospects or picks for a band aid that won't fix anything.
