Post-Game Talk: GM 09 | Devils def. Canucks | 6-0 | Look at this light.

[Tact]

Not completely his fault but once I saw confirmed that Silovs was starting - I already knew we were going to be blown out.

I’m surprised about the decision to start him, I guess Lankinen told the team he was tired. It would have made more sense to ease Silovs for the SJS game - now his confidence is completely shot.

Bad decision imo. Oh well onto the next

 

[Canucker]

At least it was over quickly and I got to bed at a reasonable hour...thanks NHL scheduler!

This is also your daily reminder that Tyler Myers is a crap defenseman at any dollar amount.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I'm not really convinced that it's a personnel thing. But they are clearly missing a top quality freelancer in the middle of it all.

I think the much bigger problem is just...how glued to their "spots" everyone is. It's so infuriating to watch.

I said the exact same thing last season. Our powerplay worked in the first half of last season because it was new. Once teams figured it out, Tocchet made virtually zero adjustments; a trend that has seemingly continued. It's his biggest Achilles' heel as a coach.

I don't know whether it's out of stubbornness or a genuine belief everything will work itself out, eventually, but I don't know how much more proof he needs the latter ain't happening.

Allvin's gonna make a move soon yhihf.

 

[LadyJet26]

Oh boy. Glad I decided to watch Agatha All Along finale instead of this.

 

[Breakers]

Silovs is garbage. You can see where guys are going shoot watching the broadcast he has so many noticeable holes

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I haven't felt that pissed off watching this team since Benning was still here.

Atrocious effort across the board. Silovs isn't an NHL goalie, as others have said. Pettersson looks worse than ever.

 

[Lupuls Grit]

I could only watch the first two periods. Ugly. Here are a few of my observations:

- Really confused as to why Soucy and Myers are collectively so bad this year. Not sure what has to happen for them to get back on track either individually or as a pair but they need to figure it out.
- Sherwood is an absolute beast!
- Suter is underrated generally, put in a strong effort, and is an important player for the team considering his versatility
- Sprong is ... unique. At times, he seemed like the most dangerous Canucks forward. I like having him in the lineup considering the speed and offensive threat he can provide. Probably best served as a 4th line forward who can play up when he is playing well.
- Silovs? When is Demko coming back??????
- Garland is a gutsy player to chuck knuckles with a guy much bigger than him. Kudos to him giving a crap
- Been well covered already but the powerplay was horrific. They have too much talent not to get it going again.
- Paying customers at the game last night - my condolences.

This just drives home the point that most of us already know....there is on one untouchable on the Canucks ...

 

[tantalum]

Well mother nature picked a great night to send us to the tornado shelter in the garage. Didn't have to watch that mess.

 

[Breakers]

Im starting to actually we may have the worst contract in the league.

And I rag on Nurse a ton

Pettersson is clearly some emotional headcase

And Yes we are looking at a Huberdeau level of drop in production from him.

 

[Josepho]

xGF/60 on the PP. So much emphasis on the defence but this team's defensive metrics are not even that bad -- this (and the offence in general) has been far worse.

 

[Rowlet]

teams lose, we go again

 

[SladeWilson23]

If the Devils' goal was to try to entice Quinn to join them in Free Agency by kicking his ass every time they play the Canucks...

Their plan is working.

Seeing Luke and Quinn fighting over the number 43 might be fun.

Seeing Luke and Quinn fighting over the number 43 might be fun.

Older brother always wins.
