Post-Game Talk: [GM 67] Canucks lose to Hockey Clubbers | 1-3 | Hughes | Just No Juice

Other problem is until the final unit got on the ice, there were several chips and chases....with no chase.

Dump and chase isn't inherently bad, in a game like this where they're clogging the neutral zone you can make the D turn and take hits. But you have to have the motor to start the puck battles. I just don't see it enough.
 
That's it for me. See you all next season. Not going to invest anymore time into this season. On ice product is not entertaining. Cheers
 
This team is going to need to find a hidden gear if they wanna have any chance at making the playoffs. It's not going to get any easier here on out.
The thing is baby, just look at this roster on paper right now, we have so many significant holes in our top six, it’s actually kind of crazy how we’re even in a playoff position right now.

I wanna be optimistic, but my Goodness

The fact we are even in a playoff spot right now despite the absolute clown show this season has been is impressive.

Problem is last year team is still fresh in my mind.

Overall just a disappointing product on the ice and hard to be optimistic on the future.

I dunno, how is it that much different? Miller has been good since being traded in terms of pure numbers but he sure wasn't doing that for us. Not surprising that he's basically having a honeymoon period, it fits his history.

It basically comes down to Chytil being out instead of Miller.

This might make me a bad fan but I really don't want them to make the playoffs only because it would be so demoralizing. They are obviously not good enough. It was painful enough last year when they actually did have an amazing season.

We need to build a new core around Hughes. I'd be open to trading Pettersson but I figure he's going nowhere so just have to hope that he's able to gel with a new core.

The good news is the D is genuinely improving and looking very good now and in the future. If Lankinen is the real deal going forward then they have a good backend to build from.

We were one top six short to being a great team.
We traded JT Miller, who’s a superstar, and we replaced him with a pretty decent player, improved our defence.
But the problem is we lost Brock in that deal as well because without JT Miller, he’s been completely invisible.

It’s almost like we lost two top six forwards in one trade.

And now with chytil hurt, you can really see the depth being absolutely killed right now up the middle
