Hughes is still playing injured. I just hope he's not making things worse for himself in the long term by potentially tweaking something further.

Beginning and middle I was engaged, now I'm out of it.
Plus being away for 3 weeks changed my mood and perspective on life.
Just meh

That could have very well been a regulation loss, and in a game where we were up by 3 and 2 goals on separate leads...just f***ing inexcusable.

There’s more to life than just Canucks and for that matter, gluing yourself to the TV watching other people do stuff. That’s for true.

Go ahead foot
He should have challenged that second goalie interference. Downhill from there.

At the end of the day this is an entertainment product. If you don't find it entertaining anymore there's nothing wrong with doing something else with your time.

Canucks win this in regulation if they started Demko. Really should’ve be him tonight + Sunday. If that’s overworking him and causes another injury then it was bound to happen eventually anyway. Give him the net and see if he’s able to provide reliable goaltending down the stretch here.

damn wtf happened?
when i first checked the score at work, it was 3-2. then later, 4-3. then 5-3. and when i was finally on my way home i looked and we were losing 6-5.
lanky doesn’t have trade protection does he?

Trust me, anyone who reads these threads knows your frustrated
After 1 goal you say you’re done for the season, then come back and post 5+ times more in the same thread. Things like this happen to teams with good cores all the time, look at Vegas/Tampa missing the playoffs randomly during some of their contending years.Shit happens. It’s weird the Canucks went from the best team in the league at defending leads last year to blowing so many 3 goal leads, but it is what it is.
Given they were way worse than this under Boudreau, and last years results, I doubt its a coaching problem. It’s way more likely a team personnel issue, with injuries on the blue line and some very suspect goaltending playing a big part in it.

Everytime I hear people saying "play meaningful games in march" I'm having Jet Black era vibes. They mean something if we make it else they mean f*** all.
Flames have been doing this since forever and that's why they are stuck in mediocrity. Wolf is keeping them in the fight but in the long run they won't have the talent to do something. His elite play is quite detrimental to the franchise since it keeps them from getting the chance to draft serious talent.

He was better last year. Just about everyone was. Lol. Management gave them all more money and they came back down to earth.

You could say this about 90% of the people that post here...seems like a weirdly targeted call out.

@arttk ”culture matters”. He’s correct, meaningful games in March be damned.
Points per 60 down. Goal share down. Hronek has gone up slightly in giving away less dangerous shots. They were all too good last season. Bound to regress with the team.
This game just reinforces the sad fact that whether or not the Canucks make the playoffs, is just a big 'meh'. This current lineup wouldn't get much done in the playoffs anyway.
I'm actually more encouraged by the all the quality minutes for young guys like Lekkerimaki, Karlsson, Raty and EP25, than I am the results on the ice.
They're now four points out with nine to play--and by far the hardest schedule down the stretch. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Wolf is phenomenal, but yeah he's going to stop them from bottoming out during the McKenna/Dupont years.

I’d say that to 90% of people here if I was him too. We’re all frustrated. Just don’t say shit you don’t actually mean I think was his point. Nobody likes the guy on the bench who packs it in early when they are down. And yeah some of us probably take it too serious on either side of the coin as well.

Well, it looks like he did have an injury

All of the positives right now are the kids. D Petey had a rough game but he's been playing well in limited minutes. Mancini has done well. Lekk has shown some elite finish. And now Raty is finding his game as well, with Willander on the way. You can see the next group of guys taking over.

Miller had the best season of his career after signing his extension.
