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

[God]

Utah PK

• There penalty killers are very aggressive up top and Tocchet immediately points out that the counter to this is to go down low and set up 2-on-1 or 3-on-; calls it “plain as day”
• Coaching staff is a little frustrated because they have been telling the players that if you go hard up high, then the puck has to go low, and you have to make a play
• Says the coaches are a little bummed out about it

When Hughes was out, there were times where I felt like the PP was actually moving the puck around well, and this suggests to me that a lot of guys on that first unit are simply deferring to Hughes (hence they're not going low). Or maybe we have a bunch of really stupid hockey players.

vancouver needs more finishers. no playoffs. chytil out offense is weak. boeser has checked out/hasnt produced since miller left . time to send his ass to the airport and let him walk. one play hughes was tapping his stick for a opportunity and he was mad. target lawson crouse this summer big strong body.

Hughes acts a lot like JT did yet no says anything. Not saying Hughes sucks as a captain just finding it interesting watching it unfold where one player got constant heat for it.

 

[I am toxic]

Hughes playing LITERALLY half the game

Come on Tochett

Always good to ruin the health of your best players in pursuit of . . . mediocrity purgatory, where the team neither makes the playoffs nor drafts in the top 5 or so

And by always good, I mean something else. I have to speak in code to throw the astroturfers and shills off my scent

And by scent, I mean stench

im assuming the stick smashing and some comments he made after the game but i dont think its anything like jt miller

When you're gifted six minutes of PP time in the third period; but can't generate anything, well that's all she wrote.

Utah now owns the season series against the Canucks at 3-0-1. Throw out the Chicago game, and the Canucks are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL since the changeover in the calendar year.

You can probably chisel that into their epitaph for the season.

Management and coaching sees Hughes, both on and off the ice, in the same hemisphere as Crosby (according to Drance)

Come on pg
