Post-Game Talk: Game #25: Blackhawks 2, Canucks 1 - Six goals? Nah, one goal will do fine...

[Canucker]

The offense has put 37 shots on net and gotten numerous quality chances to score against one of the top teams in the league but one team got better goaltending than the other...can't afford to give up a McSoftie in a game like that.

 

[BC Ben]

Sooooooo disappointing

 

[WinterEmpire]

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.

Might as well tank right?

 

[NuxFan09]

This team just doesn't stack up with the good teams in this conference. It's that simple. Not even the least bit mad. It just is what it is.

Burrows sucks

 

[EpochLink]

Burrows, for all the good he's done..I won't be surprised if he's traded at some point.

We are lacking scoring, what's Gillis waiting for? Santa Claus?

 

[CherryToke]

is it safe to say Burrows is not a real top 6 forward?

that would leave us with 3 legit top 6 forwards. no wonder we cant ****ing score...

 

[John Bender*]

Burrows is god awful this season. 3 assists in 13 games.

Can't live up to the contract.

Burrows is all over the puck. He'll come around. He is not god awful. David Booth is GOD awful.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

This team isn't making the playoffs. It's simply not very good.

 

[Addison Rae]

another 1 goal loss. how many more times can this happen to the canucks. they arent just good enough to compete against the top tier teams.

We most certainly competed with the Hawks tonight, heck many thought we were the better team. Also, this is the first time in 2 years the Hawks have beaten us in regulation.

Gillis is Santa Claus, but he has ran out of gifts

burrows would be an ideal 3rd line guy on a good team. too bad he's being paid to produce and is doing a **** job of it

 

[FloydTheBarber]

Start a rebuild, this pathetic team is not going anywhere.

Can't, entire core has NTC's.

We used to brag about our good value contracts, now we're stuck with them.

Canucks are tied down this core until the end.

We're yesterdays Calgary Flames.

This is the question.

Is he "snakebit" or is it just gone? Sometimes it's just gone.

+ Duncan Keith. As much as I hate that ****er, he took away some glorious chances. Wish Edler would step up once in awhile.

Very disappointing, indeed. This team is going nowhere.

booth will get starting score at some point he is unlucky... kassasin will score too

 

[Addison Rae]

Burrows sucks

Spoken like a person who only looks at the score sheets.

This is absolutely bang on. Say what you want about lack of scoring but we had 1 goalie play great all game while Luongo once again let's in a softie.

It's getting to the point where they should buy him out in the offseason and spend the money on Forwards

 

[StringerBell]

Goaltending was the difference tonight.

 

[y2kcanucks]

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.

Luongo let in 1 bad goal tonight, but made several great saves, especially in the 1st period. He posted a 0.931 SVP tonight for all the box score stat watchers. Luongo wasn't the reason we lost. The reason we lost was because, once again, we couldn't score more than one damn goal.

To blame goaltending is like saying the reason the car crashed was not due to faulty breaks, it was because the drivers seat wasn't made out of leather.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

So ****ing sick of this team...those nine seconds brought back some awful memories

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

This game wouldn't be half as frustrating if we hadn't already seen it 6 times.

[Jyrki]

Those saying Burrows suck are doing nothing more than stat-scouring. He's been all over the puck, winning battles and getting into the dirty places on the ice. Just can't find the back of the net.
