Brock wtf dude

 

[Lawzy]

I cannot emphasize enough: 3v3 is garbage and has no place in hockey.

Brock wtf dude

Tocchet sending out boeser in ot.
The guy skates in sand..ffs..that's on Tocchet

 

[wonton15]

At least Demko is back and didn’t pop the other liteus

 

[Quinning]

I'm sorry, I love Boeser for everything he's done as a Canuck. But that was one of the worst turnovers I've seen in ages. Canucks haven't touched the puck all OT, we finally get a chance and he instantly hands it back inside his own blueline. Blues immediately go down the ice and score. Tocchet should be losing his mind over that one.

3 on 3 has turned into such a joke. The entire strategy just revolves in playing keep away for two minutes while not letting the other team change. Canucks couldn't win a goddamn faceoff to save their life so they didn't have a chance to get anything going. Just f***ing put Raty out there to win the draw and then put your intended players out there.

Brock and soucy braindead plays leads to loss

 

[Canucks LB]

Miller or not, something is just not right with this group

 

[Slapshot_11]

Need two top 4 ds immediately

 

[NailsHoglander]

I cannot emphasize enough: 3v3 is garbage and has no place in hockey.

Tocchet should try using his best skaters

 

[EpochLink]

1-1-1 on this 6 game home stand.
We need these other 3 games.
Glad for the point, onto the next.

 

[Sedinery]

Tocchet’s days are numbered

 

[EpochLink]

Miller or not, something is just not right with this group

They've played like shit all year at home, they play better on the road.
Something about home ice they get very distracted about.

 

[DFAC]

Everything that went right last year is going wrong this year.

This team would get smoked by the Oilers right now in a 7 game series... we would be lucky to win a game. Same with Vegas

 

[LordBacon]

That hit on the head on Brock really effected his decision making huh.
Im not ripping on Boeser it just kinda looks that way, hes not as sharp after returning from the injury.

It's a shame that NHL doesnt care about head hunting and only gives minor penalties like suspension for 3 games.

 

[Quinning]

I cannot emphasize enough: 3v3 is garbage and has no place in hockey.

It was fun when teams would go end to end, but somewhere along the line it turned into this bullshit cat and mouse game where if you win the opening faceoff, you have a 90% chance of scoring before the other team even touches the puck.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

They are bleeding points with this defense.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I only got to watch the last 8 minutes plus OT.

Loved the tying goal. The effort to tie it up was great.

That entire OT was awful. Brock, I love you, but that was an awful turnover - and Soucy just giving Holloway the lane to the net was baffling.

Oh well. At least we got a point out of it.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Soucy playing 3 on 3 is a coaching error. We lost because of that decision.

 

[Lawzy]

Tocchet should try using his best skaters

It wouldn't matter, it would still be garbage. It's fundamentally garbage. Both of those games we won on the trip? Garbage.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This team needs some changes both on the ice and the bench. Tocchet needs to adjust his system because what we have ain't working. And Allvin needs to find some D help if he's serious about being competitive. Not a good look heading into this year with this D when we all knew what the result was going to be.

 

[dez]

I'm shocked VD didn't take his game to another level without that anchor Brannstrom at his hip. Actually played only 12 minutes, 2 minutes less than Friedman. Again I'm shocked.

 

[WTG]

Soucy on the second pairing doesn't work. It did work last year, something must have happened. I would not be opposed to him getting moved, which sucks because he's very handsome.

 

[thecupismine]

4 wins at home this year against Chicago, Columbus, Calgary, and Pittsburgh and we're almost halfway through December.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I don't know how you can do that and not just be straight up embarassed as an organization when you're not tanking. I'm about to buy my brother & dad a Christmas gift, and if this were last year, no-brainer buy them some Canucks tickets.

This year? Doubtful, half the nights the team comes out lazy and only decides to put an effort up for half the game. Something on that front needs to change, and players need to have a little more respect for the fans.

I only watched half the game today because coaching, so I'll leave it to the others to break things down, but this home record has bugged me as much as the defense core behind Hughes/Hronek has this year.

 

[Peen]

honestly see the logic in what brock did there.

he is way too slow - he would have been rubbed out in most situations if he tried to push down the boards there

tried to turn back to gain possession and control

yeah... debrusk got killed wide on that one. and he had enough time to get set to defend that so it was just really poor.

didn't deserve a point in this game. but hey, miller's back next one and you hope there's some more changes on the backend before that and maybe they can grab the next 2/3 of this homestand
