Post-Game Talk: GAME #28 - Canucks 1 vs. Wild 3 Part II - "NW Division Chumps"

[enuck]

Let's be fair, guys - after 2011's SCF we were all like "omgz we need tough guys to protect the Sedins no more soft players"

Careful what you wish for.

True. Posters were begging for more size, grit and toughness.

 

[Canucks LB]

Minny please score, 1-4 looks much better

 

[Snatcher Demko]

I know this team has a lot of injuries, but I'm quite sure they would have lost this game if they were healthy as well.

They are just disorganized, unmotivated and rarely getting 2nd and 3rd chances.

They're skating and shooting, but there's no cohesion, no support.

 

[shortshorts]

Have we become the new Calgary Flames?

Nope. We're the San Jose sharks

 

[EpochLink]

No matter what the coach is saying, team ain't listening

Players ain't hearing it from AV no more

Yeah the hindsight GMing on this board is hilarious. People were red in the face yelling for more toughness, now we're clamoring for the team that was.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

How are they playing?

Crap.

1st: not bad

2nd: Great

3rd: Garbage and give up do alright in the last two mins.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

one line team gonna one line team

 

[timw33]

I agree, toughening up for the Bruins was the worst thing we could've done.

That high-octane offense was 10x more effective than this.

I still despise letting Ehrhoff go. and Hodgson as well, he's probably having a good chuckle watching Ebbett playing on the 2nd line.

Toughening up for a team we *may* have faced if we had somehow got through three rounds of the playoffs too. So dumb.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Good pressure at least. Hansen looks good out there.

 

[shortshorts]

I ****ing love Hansen. SHOOT THE PUCK.

 

[Tinhorn1]

Even Tanev has lost his patience.

You know it's bad when Tanev goes for an end-to-end rush.

 

[BorussiaDortmund]

Empty net? Why isn't Ebbett out there?!?!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Ummmm guys, the Edmonton Oilers are 4 pts behind us with the same number of games played....

 

[leftwinglockdown]

All of you who were complaining about Ballard's icetime get your answer. If he didn't make that stupid play, its still only 2-1.

 

[Canucks LB]

I love how the sedins get badly slashed, ragtaged in front of the net and the refs allow it now.

Reputation also hurt the canucks.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Regardless at how AWFUL that defense was. We needed a BIG SAVE from our goalie.

It's been like a month since we have had a game stolen by our netminder.

The goalies are taxed. Between the circus in net and them knowing a bad game means the team's losing, it's a miracle we aren't blow out more often. It's getting to the point we have to make our choice and trade the other.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Hansen

[pahlsson]

on the bright side that's the best i've seen the canucks with an empty net in a long time

 

[MikeK]

these guys gave up after 2-1. pathetic effort

I haven't seen a lack effort and energy in a Canucks team since the last year of Crawfords era. Every team has injuries they need to overcome but those are not excuses. This team has bigger issues. The team is broken.

 

[John Bender*]

Good pressure at least. Hansen looks good out there.

Hansen and Henrik Sedin have been the only forwards that have been consistently good all year.

 

[Jyrki]

Lol, no finish at all.

 

[enuck]

I know this team has a lot of injuries, but I'm quite sure they would have lost this game if they were healthy as well.

They are just disorganized, unmotivated and rarely getting 2nd and 3rd chances.

They're skating and shooting, but there's no cohesion, no support.

I very much doubt a completely healthy Canucks team that played together since January would have these problems.

 

[Pip]

meh, a good effort, I'm not even mad at this game.
