[Slapshot_11]

If not for lanks yest we'd be 0-2 on this b2b

This team is not even mediocre nevermind being good

 

[dez]

Juulsen is so bad and I have no idea how tocchet or people think Vinny or forbort are worse.

The Boston game bought him another season

 

[Sedinery]

This team sucks, yesterday should have been a blowout for the Bruins had it not been for Lankinen

Tocchet is a horrible coach

 

[Hansen]

Wonder if Silovs is suffering without Clarke. Latest report was Clarke is no longer based in Vancouver hes back east

 

[NoShowWilly]

Like we know silovs isnt good but this team gives up so many five alarm chances with him there. How is crosby wide open on the offensive blueline?

 

[Bgav]

I mean they could give up another one and then the game is really over.

The point hes making is tocchet never calls time outs or rarely when the teams playing poorly.

I understand his point I’m just saying in this situation you probably just get to the intermission. But yeah he never calls timeouts.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Calm the f*** down ppl

We have a ahl back up in net

Juulsen is so bad and I have no idea how tocchet or people think Vinny or forbort are worse.

I'm okay with him being benched for Desharnais

 

[Sedinery]

Timeout at 3-1 ???

No save it for 7-1 i guess

 

[eviohh26]

Team is poo. People wanna find someone to blame but its all on the players. Simply not good enough. The Defense is bad and we knew it was going to be bad at the start of the season.

 

[moiderer]

Good thing it's a B2B, or Canucks radio would have wasted two days spitballing a potential backup goalie controversy instead of one.

Yeah, Silov is the player

The defence has been dreadful - and it’s some how getting worse

 

[thecupismine]

Eventually you have to stop a scoring chance. Sure, you could give reasons why 3 of those goals went in, but Silovs has one of the worst goals saved above expected this season, and today has been equally brutal.

Defense isn’t as suffocating as yesterday, sure, but you can see how the teams team defense completely changed after the first goal because they knew they couldn’t allow anything on net on this guy, which led to an insane number of overcorrections and saves.

I don’t blame Tocchet for overplaying Lankinen, as you need to score 5+ to win with this guy in net.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Odds are pretty slim we’re coming back in this one..Canucks put themselves out of this one in a hurry.

It’s even gone past the worst lead in hockey.

It’s not all on Silovs,but at this level,you have to at least keep your team in the game.

 

[Sedinery]

If you think this is solely on Silovs you are sadly mistaken

Take a hard look at the complete lack of coverage

 

[mossey3535]

To be fair, Silovs had an amazing sequence just before the 2nd goal, You can't say he isn't stopping anything. That last one was a huge overcommit on Crosby as the puck carrier, he should have had more than enough time to reposition instead of just diving and I think he took too much ice which caused that.

Other than that not sure there's too much he could have done on the other goals. You can't give up point blank back door passes across the crease.

 

[eviohh26]

Yeah, Silov is the player

He stinks but even in Boston we had no business winning that game. If we don't get bailed out by a goal tender we lose. That's not a good team .

 

[VanJack]

I don't know what it is about Silovs, but the Canucks are just awful in front of him. I mean maybe the first goal was 'iffy', but the others, what hope did he have?

Guys standing around in front of the crease without a Canuck d-man laying a stick on them. Completely blown coverage on the fourth goal for a backdoor tap in.

You'd think after being forced into action in last year's playoffs, the Canucks would have his back. But no chance.

 

[JT Milker]

This was a scheduled loss, road back to back against a team coming off 3 days rest. Schedule makers go brrrr.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Forwards are going to have to help out this defense.

And how about some "game management" from the stripes? We're way overdue.

 

[EpochLink]

What the f*** happened to Silovs? How did this guy go from playoff hero to Spencer Martin with bad breath?

I'm honestly curious why he's even still up here, guy is shit.

 

[Sedinery]

This team is no different than the lottery team that relied on Demko for wins

 

[blfr]

Juuelsen, Soucey, and Myers look so sketchy out there. I have no trust in them to make smart plays.

 

[Dolemite]

I'm honestly curious why he's even still up here, guy is shit.

Teams watch video. He has a weak glove side. He can't track pucks to it. The team hasn't worked on it at all. There's a simple fix but I don't know if the team has the talent to know how.
