GDT: GM 59 | Vancouver Canucks @ Anaheim Ducks | Feb 27 | 7:00PM PST | SNET

[VanillaCoke]

DOC shooting the puck on net every chance he gets is therapeutic.

His constant hustle, speed, forechecking, and tenacity are incredible.

Looks like he's skating well, then seems to go faster. When he could understandably ease up on a puck battle or takes a hit, he tries even harder to get or keep the puck. Relentless and another chef bargain.

 

[Michael Dal Swolle]

Silovs fundamentally does not know how to cut down the angle on a shot.

Pettersson clearly not trying whatsoever.

 

[calnuck]

Elias Pettersson: "I want to win"

He wants to win but doesn’t want to do anything to contribute to it

 

[bbud]

Wtf refs did need his d.ck out there for a penalty f..kin joke

 

[Slapshot_11]

Hughes was brutal on that pp

 

[ChilliBilly]

After the first ,” we’re so back, baby“. Period later, we are so bad …. Trade everyone. One game,let alone one period, do not a team make.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Not criticizing Hughes at all but he's definitely playing hurt and trying to avoid contact.

No excuses trade the bum soft embarrassing needs to bulk up etc

 

[Lawzy]

I really don't mind when Petey is clearly in his own head but still trying but he's absolutely dogging it out there.

 

[Oliewud]

we need to get rid of this petterson contract

he has no pulse. no emotion. just dead.

 

[kanucks25]

Absolutely pathetic effort from EP40 thus far. These are the games you need him to make a difference.

Still has time to rectify it.

 

[ManVanFan]

This game could be 3-0 for Anaheim if not for a legendary first period by Myers.

 

[thekernel]

Silovs meltdown for the ages. NHL goalies do not get beat clean three times in one period like that

 

[alternate]

Well that was a disaster of a period
Holy fiuck.

 

[DFAC]

After the first ,” we’re so back, baby“. Period later, we are so bad …. Trade everyone. One game,let alone one period, do not a team make.

The duality of being a Canucks fan

Wonder what excuses people will have for EP40's performance again. Simply unacceptable.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

He wants to win but doesn’t want to do anything to contribute to it

Playing like he wants to be traded.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hughes was brutal on that pp

Started when he got cross checked in the head. I think he got hot under the collar and never got his composure back.

I don’t blame him, we’ve seen way less called.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

This is probably the most upset I’ve been with Pettersson. The team needs you at a critical time and you turn it over consistently, lose your man, and just do nothing offensively

The 68 point season at the beginning was so much worse in my opinion.

 

[Dirtyclapper]

I’ve already decided to trade him two weeks ago, this is just making it easier for me with every game.

Welcome

 

[quat]

How many wide open opportunities will the Canucks gift the Ducks? Crazy how bad the defense has been this period. How does Hughes not draw a call there?

 

[PavelBure10]

Either sit Pettersson to rest a injury or trade him. Starting to get old now.

 

[MS]

This is probably the most upset I’ve been with Pettersson. The team needs you at a critical time and you turn it over consistently, lose your man, and just do nothing offensively

As bad as he’s been, for most of the year he’s been pretty solid defensively at least. In the couple he’s turned into a turnover machine and has been just flat-out bad at both ends of the ice.

This is just a putrid performance tonight. Boeser not a lot better.

 

[VanJack]

Every game or so you really get a sad idea of just how lacking in overall team speed this Canuck lineup is. Really outskated from almost the opening whistle, and took a 2-0 first period lead against the run of the play.

Ducks are easily getting to the middle of the ice and backing off the defenders. Another embarrassing effort by EP40. I forgot that Debrusk was even in the lineup.

Guess we should have seen this coming on a back-to-back. Canucks have been terrible most of the year.

 

[logan5]

Everybody here is going all JT Miller on Pettersson now. He is never coming back to form.

 

[bbud]

Killorn elbowed Hughes in the back of the head

Saw that buttman says no concussion issues in hockey so it's ok .
Nucks go sign 3 Lnh goons boots.. k teams till buttmans days are done

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Silovs meltdown for the ages. NHL goalies do not get beat clean three times in one period like that

I’m cheering hard for him, but man. One? Maybe. Two? Tough. Three? Come the hell on.
