Sigh.

Management is on the hook for this mess, terrible make up on how this team is supposed to play.

What a disaster, just f***ing terrible.

Hughes - Willander
Schaefer - Hronek
Pettersson - Mynio

Sell! Sell! Sell!

Yeah, don't do that, toilet tariffs are coming next week.

Miller can't be the issue cause Benning & Weisbrod are the master judges of character and they brought him in. Pettersson was also brought in by Benning & Weisbrod so he can't be the issue either. The problem must be Kieffer Sherwood.

I was offered tickets to the closed practice tomorrow and I didn't hesitate to turn it down. Best decision I've made in a while

Not sure if they have updated the stats yet but the game may have dropped them into last in the league for shots per game. They were just barely ahead of Chicago for the lowest average shots per game.

 

[Scumbag Frank]

This goes beyond bad personnel - everyone's visibly miserable and has given up.
Something seriously wrong behind the scenes.

Pettersson no signs of life again.
Last year's Demko might've held the team in this in the 1st.

Miller directly responsible for goal #1, 2, and 4 against.
Interested to see if he starts giving effort at 4 nations. Suspect he might look like himself again there and then come back to Vancouver and keep sulking

This is just the most Canucks thing to happen. Seems like the core has finally turned it around, they all go to the All-Star game, and 4/5 just turn into absolute dogwater over the next 12 months.

Last season when the defense was injured we acquired big Z to make sure Hughes wasn't playing too much. Today the dude played close to 30 in a BLOWOUT LOSS.

Everyone can point fingers at each other, but truly the organization from the top down has completely f***ed up this year at every stage of the season. From the coach not managing the inner turmoil effectively to make sure everyone plays hard every night, to management sitting on their hands all year, to the players just downright disrespecting the crest, it's been brutal to watch.

Started out with so much promise too, which makes it suck even more. They looked like they could play the new system well whenever Soucy/Myers wasn't dragging them down + Hronek was healthy, but as soon as they hit adversity everything's slowly gone to shit.

Why? You're probably gonna miss out on a line brawl.

Two sides of the locker room line up behind Petey and Miller respectively.

Gave up on the game at 3-0 and came back for the last five minutes at 5-1.....so didn't miss anything. Aussie Open was more entertaining......at least the players out there look like they care whether they win or lose.

Allvin won't be watching this much longer. Their best two players--who are earning close to $20m a season--are invisible night after night. One of them will be gone after this season, if not even earlier.

Boeser is as good as gone. And some of their d-men on short-term deals will be gone. Right now the TDL offers a lot more interest than the rest of the season.

Bruce Boudreau was fired Jan 22nd 2023.

 

[Ernie]

Starting to think you just get whatever you can for Miller at this point.

 

[Lawzy]

Truly impressive unraveling of this team. Experience Canucks hockey.

Definitely looks to be moving in that direction.

Alcaraz looks like he's on a mission for that career grand slam at the age of 21. All time stuff if he does it.

 

[VanillaCoke]

When it always looks exactly the same with the same stupid mistakes it's definitely alot on the coaches imo....

 

[chummer55]

What the heck is going on?

Miller's last game?

 

[calnuck]

I know this teams personnel is not great this year but a lot of this falls on coaching. You can’t be last in the league for shots per game and not be coached that way. This team is going nowhere with Tocchet behind the bench. The problem is who is the alternative?

 

[sting101]

This is just amazing.

Sending out PDG was a joke.

Exactly. There’s just no way it’s all on the players regardless of how the roster looks

It was always one of possibilities with the direction management took when they arrived. TBF I thought it would hold together a year or two longer before the implosion if it was going to implode.

yes if we just get a 5th coach for this core things will change
