Post-Game Talk: GM02 | Canucks lose to Flyers in SO | 2-3 (Hoglander & Blueger) | Winless Streak

[brock hughes007]

They should have paid Zadorov the extra million IMO. Huge gap in the top 4 with him walking.

Absolutely

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Doesn't seem like a great idea sitting Miller through the entire preseason if he was healthy all that time.

He was wearing some weird neck thing tonight that I haven’t seen before. At first it looked like black K tape but upon further review I think it was some other apparatus. Neck / shoulder area.

Miller ass
Heinen ass
Hronek ass
Sprong ass
Hughes ok
Petey ok

Only good players this game were Hoglander, Garland, Soucy, and Blueger.

Add Lankinen and I agree with you

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

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?

I'm even more worried because it is October. Top lines should be devastating bottom feeders now, especially at home.

Not missing by much is irrelevant. They won't make it this year either, neither will Calgary.

If the top lines play like this the Nucks aren't beating many teams.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

After all, there are no games lost in regulation yet. One point in both games.

How many leads have we blown? 4 or 5?

 

[maroon 6]

Miller had a really bad game

Hughes was bad compared to his standards

Pettersson is bad period

People really forget there were times he got benched until he became a folk hero in the playoffs huh.

 

[NailsHoglander]

Myers is a bigger loss then alot will make it out to be. Not a great start to the year but wayyy to early to make any conclusions.

Desharnais to the rescue!

 

[Kryten]

He was such a great get last year and the definition of paying for intangibles. Great guy on and off the ice who just oozed charisma. He was begging for a bigger role and we were trying to convince ourselves that Myers would hopefully be better in a smaller one. Just the biggest skidmark on this management

Three.

 

[Dolemite]

It’s only the second game but…

If Laniken keeps playing like he did tonight, he may just be the starter until Demko is ready to go.

That was the absolute laziest OT session by the Canucks. They were playing to tie not to win.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

remember at the end of the playoffs when tocchet said postgame the game was lost on people not bearing down and hitting the net?

it’s like no one spent any time this summer trying to work on that

 

[mossey3535]

At a wedding so just checking in sporadically. Did catch the whole SO. Lankinen is just a lot more patient and his tracking is at the point where he doesn't have to guess like Silovs does sometimes. Just a more refined games and the team is shit right now so things will get better.

In the playoffs. He was scratched during the regular season and frequently saw his ice time dip to the low man in the line-up. He’s also had a long career of looking great over small sample sizes then reverting to mediocre or bad.

 

[Cupless44]

Its very early so will try to remain optimistic, but adding end of last year, I have a sinking feeling when I think this is the beginning of 8 long years with Petey. He makes little difference in the game, looks nothing like an 11.6 million a year player. This is the 5th highest paid player in the NHL

i actually think Flyers might squeeze in, Torts team has always been tough to beat plus they have a superstar in the making now

Silovos’s hand/eye was non existent in game 1. It’s like Chris Osgood used to be before the Red Wings fixed his game.

Thought the Raty-Hoglander-Garland line was the best line tonight, don't know why he split them up for the third period. But it does seem that Sprong is the new Kuzmenko.

On another note, did anyone else's Sportsnet+ subscription suddenly cut out in the third? It was saying that I needed to be in Canada for it to work but there's just one issue, I was...

 

[brock hughes007]

This team looks like crap right now.
Next up Tampa...good luck.

Pettersson is bad period

i cant be the only one that thinks he had a much better game than game 1

whatever, it is what it is

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

but also remember two years ago when JR shitcanned boudreau for f***ing around and wasting the pre-season?

 

[Nuckles]

Yep, was happening to everyone. Rogers don't care, they got paid already

 

[Brookbank]

The expectations set from last season have me miserable with this start to the season lol. It’s only two games though and I think Tocchet will tighten things up.

You were probably even more disappointed last year at this time of the year.

My sportsnet was doing that all 3rd period..what's up with that.
