[Vector]

Top-6 really needs to generate something at even strength. Also, hope Myers is going to be better than that looked.

I miss the offseason.

I liked judging our team on paper.

 

[Spectrefire]

 

[Nuckles]

At least Lankinen and the bottom 6 forwards looked solid.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Flyers had a 3 on 2 while shorthanded as well tonight, didn't score but still not a good look.

 

[tilly123123]

Same old f***en Petey !

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

On one hand it sucks that we open the seaosn with 0-0-2

On the other hand, getting a point with basically 5 D the whole game is a bonus

 

[VanillaCoke]

wth

 

[EpochLink]

2 points is better than no points, get some wins on this road trip will ya.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Same old f***en Petey !

he's been much better than last game, stll not quite the level you expect but it's going up

 

[Baby Pettersson]

We look disorganized.

 

[Brookbank]

I miss the offseason.

Canucks were the better team in both games.

Not worried in the slightest

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

Larkinen was awesome, though, quite comfortable with him
.so far

 

[Cupless44]

I think the power play is the reason we lost tonight.

Either 0-5 or 0-6. Not a shot on goal in the last 3 pps

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I'm worried because these aren't good teams the Canucks are playing. They aren't playoff teams. The top lines look like absolute trash and barely in these games. The bottom lines are fine.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Team has taken a huge step back from last season. Defense is terrible and 11.6 man playing like a 4th line echl player

 

[Flik]

Disappointing start to the season, but well..... it's only game 2 I guess.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Well they got 2 out of 4 points, but still both should've been winnable games.

Or you could look at it this way

We haven’t won a game this year.
We were 0/5 on the PP with 0 shots for the last 3 PPs
We lost a top 4 defensman
Our top Defensman looked like ass
We let 2 non playoff teams beat us at home.
We are paying 11.5M for a player that honestly looks like a 3rd line 15 goal scorer.


Both our statements are true.

 

[wonton15]

I think you have to mix up the lines to something that might work better chemistry wise

Suter Miller Boeser
DeBrusk Pettersson Hoglander
Sherwood Blueger Garland
Heinen Aman Sprong

Sprong is absolutely way too much of a wildcard blowing zones and missing assignments.

The defense is a trainwreck. I have no words.

It's two games.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Two very winnable games, and two pedestrian performances by our star players.

Lankinen was great, but he was the only one that showed up.

Pettersson made one fancy pass and fell down more times than Sportsnet had glitches.

It's hard to believe they practiced to be that bad on the pp

 

[Cupless44]

Can Tocchet back off and stop benching Raty as the game goes along? The young centre is playing fine. Better than some other forwards

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I'm worried because these aren't good teams the Canucks are playing. They aren't playoff teams. The top lines look like absolute trash and barely in these games. The bottom lines are fine.

im not too worried, in October, there's really no that much difference between good team or bad team

also a reminder that the Flyers didn't miss the playoffs by much last season. In fact they were in a playoff spot until like the final 2 weeks i believe?

Either 0-5 or 0-6. Not a shot on goal in the last 3 pps

Philly is one of the hardest teams to play against early in the season. We dominated them for stretches.
