39 year old Ovechkin has more goals than Boeser and Petey combined after breaking his leg mid season lol.

Man I love Ovechkin

Canucks will fall behind 2-1 and then defend the deficit to keep it a low scoring loss. Then Tocchet will have his usual presser and say how proud he was of the defensive effort and talk about how close the team came to win. Rinse and repear.

That is Tocchet’s style, just like Green

Zero offence because every player has been neutered offensively and programmed to be a defensive zombie. Team is boring and nobody dares to take an offensive chance. There is zero offensive system and even worse special team play.

Tocchet was never the answer. Lifetime losing record and had zero resume to qualify for a head coaching gig.

PA has made horrible GM moves, Not sure Rutherford is even alive.

EP has been ruined

This franchise is a mess.

But keep buying overpriced tickets folks

We had a good practice !!!!

…..sadly the best news out of the Canucks this season

Canucks are rapidly entering 'must win' territory every night out now. If you look at their dismal OT record; plus their total of regulation and OT wins, they're already behind the eight-ball in the Western Conference.

When it was reported that Hughes had an 'oblique injury' it got my attention. It's the type of injury that can keep baseball players out for months. And hockey is a lot harder on the body than pro baseball.

So I've heard no indication that Hughes will be back for the Kings game. And without him, it's RIP on the season.

Nah, he'll get traded on deadline day to Minnesota, and score a hat-trick vs us that night (We play minny on deadline day).

This is the Way.

I would love that for him.

Even if he goes elsewhere and lights it up I wouldn't regret trading him, it just probably wasn't going to happen here especially if Petey is going to keep playing the way he is.

Boeser would look great on a better team. I think he's one of those players that is a product of the situation around him but not in a bad way.

 

[mriswith]

Boeser (new contract in hand) and Clarke can swap locker rooms after this one.

 

[valkynax]

Gonna drop this miniature of Hughes as morale booster, sort of...

On the shield is the skeleton of Pete.

I have a buddy who is very emotional and overreacts to everything. Needs to spout his emotions before they calm down.

For example, when we dealt J.T. Miller he texted me that he was done with the Canucks.

I shrugged and knew it wasn't true. Went out for dinner with my girlfriend. 3 hours later received a text about the MPetey trade. Who broke it to me? The guy who was 'done' with the Canucks.

Why am I sharing this anecdote?

I think my friend is the mascot for like 60 percent of hfboards.

This very GDT is like 30 percent filled with people saying how uninterested they are in the Canucks.

Right, and if this was a model train forum and you explained that you were here because you were giving up on your past hobby I might believe you.

But you literally couldn't even wait until the game started to go onto the Canucks forum to announce how little you care. And you've done it 10 million times.

You're not going anywhere, so there's no need to pretend that you are.

I'm just not wired that way so I don't get it.

My interest kind of goes up and down. I still care about the franchise's overall direction, but I don't always pay close attention to the games. There are times when I won't miss a game, and if I do, I would always watch the highlights. Other times I miss most games, only check the score and don't bother with the highlights. That's where I was in December/January, but 4 Nations has rekindled my interest in this season.
