[Regal]

Soucy lol

 

[wonton15]

Hoglander is a menace. I’ll miss his board work

 

[bbud]

Much better start

 

[EpochLink]

Much better start

Lankinen is starting instead of that bum Silovs

 

[Regal]

Max Sasson is a better NHL bottom 6 prospect than Arshdeep Bains change my mind

At least how this team is currently constructed, having speed on the bottom lines is a pretty huge plus.

 

[Nucker101]

Much better start

0 SOG 7 minutes in against the Buffalo Sabres

Sabres blocked a few

Sabres blocked a few

The bar is officially low again

 

[bbud]

Lol just knew they'd be in box asap

 

[Johnny Canucker]

We don’t have enough possession / net drive to draw penalties. It’s a problem.


Meanwhile that shift showed why Branstrom wasn’t an NHL regular before Vancouver.

They have the same amount of wins as us lol.

Even our breakouts are very perimeter oriented, everything is along the boards and the main hope for offense is a point shot with traffic

Pretty soft call though

 

[wonton15]

Blueger looked a little scary there scolding the ref

 

[Regal]

Pretty soft call though

Impeding a guy when he’d otherwise have a clear path to the net is almost always going to be called no matter how minor

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Same crappy Tocchet 4th liner offensive scheme as last year's 2nd half

Dump ins that the other team mostly recovers and then has an easy controlled break out
When the canucks do recover them, pass from low to high for a blocked point shot, puck gets cleared easily

Nothing allowed to go east west, no cross crease pass attempts, no side to side one timers like other good offensive teams
Only perimeter board play and cycling allowed

 

[Canuckle1970]

Good kill.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Lankinen is starting instead of that bum Silovs

And for day games Buttman is still hanging upsidedown in his cave

Lol let's see if same call happens when a nuk is going to a net

These sabres jerseys go hard.

I hated them in the 1990s and I hate them now.

Those 1990s full uniform rebrands done by us/Washington/Buffalo/NYI and a few others were universally terrible.

 

[mdobbs]

Canucks are playing an extremely structured game

Expecting some extremely low scores in the future

Extremely defensive system. Expect very low scoring game for the foreseeable future

Team has a lot of holes right now so it’s not the worst idea

Played 76 and 74 games the previous two years. I guess that is not an NHL regular.

Yea it makes sense to do it but man do I hate watching it

The logo isn’t the worst imo but when they went away from the royal blue and gold it was a travesty.

 

[wonton15]

Yep, it looks like we’ve adjusted the system and rightfully so

These sabres jerseys go hard.

Like the old white ones with the two swords and buffalo more
