I think the Canucks will never win again

they will win again, then lose, then win again, then lose.... etc

 

[Bobby9]

currently hes the top coach in the league

I feel that a lot of coaches could have been pretty successful with last years team

Tocchets dump, retrieve, pass to the point and shoot system is terrible most nights.

Why didn't hronek take the shot there? Canucks are always looking to pass

 

[valkynax]

That 6th shot is completely fabricated to avoid tying an embarrassing record. Aquaman probably paid big money for it.

Hey good job Aquaman, you're not useless all the time!

I vaguely recall one time when we played the Islanders they thrashed us with something like 6 goals in the third and won 7-4.

Have a great shift, get momentum ... glass issue. Big delay.

This game sucks.

Posts like this can't possibly be serious.

There’s a decent number of people that think this and it makes me shake my head.

Hronek would have a breakaway and look to pass it to Hughes

 

[EpochLink]

The effort this period is better, Tocchet maybe ripped them a new one

 

[LemonSauceD]

Sherwood is f***ing open

 

[LordBacon]

Its okay guys Im back now.

Watch them score 4 unanswered.

 

[wonton15]

Brannstrom seriously moves a bit like Hughes

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I think Tocchet's restrictive system lends itself to these kinds of games where we can't get anything going offensively. It's not like Nashville or Oilers are not downright trash defensively and tonight reminds of those low shot, low chances games where the forecheck doesn't work. And under Tocchet, if there's no forecheck, there's no offense.

Terrible brand of hockey.

what restrictive system? It only restricts us. We get scored on at will. We dont restrict anything defensively.

Debrusk pretty bleh

Honestly I haven't seen this group implement the system completely yet this season. Tocchet needs to rein this in quick. Part of what made the bottom-6 so good earlier in the season is that they were playing defence as intended, lots of plays broken up before the entry and we used our skill on the counterattack.

Since Suter moved up, bottom-6 is not as strong and the freelance disease is spreading. Too many forecheckers overcommitting, too many forwards looking for tips at the net front which increases the chances of a turnover from a point shot and those guys get stuck so there's no forecheck and no high forward.

Then we allow easy entries and we struggle in in-zone coverage, which is a lot of what you've seen. Our D doesn't protect the net front with either pass coverage or by taking the man. Then only one of our pairs plus Brannstrom can transition us into offence. Then the forwards get antsy and are more likely to do the stuff mentioned earlier.

Brannstrom seriously moves a bit like Hughes

There was one play I could have sworn it was Hughes walking in and dancing but it was actually the Brannchise

 

[M2Beezy]

A Tyler Myers natural hat trick right now would really change the flow of the game

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Imagine if you could accumulate time outs all season and then you scored 1st and just called timeouts the rest of the game whenever you were tired

 

[bbud]

Keep it up goals gotta come much improved 3rd and where the f..k was that in 1st and 2nd

 

[wonton15]

DeBrusk is a 0 or 100 player and it’s so annoying

 

[PavelBure10]

I swear Hoglander won't be a Canuck for too much longer.

 

[mossey3535]

Brannstrom with some Hugh-esques moves out there, maybe slightly more suited since he is a titch more conservative.

At least they are showing a pulse this period.

As I say this, that entire forward line was behind the play, easy entry and they get good zone time and a decent shot.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Keep it up goals gotta come much improved 3rd and where the f..k was that in 1st and 2nd

almost irritating tho that they COULD play like this, albeit in somewhat garbage time

 

[Bonham]

Hoglander has to be a frustrating linemate some nights.

 

[Lawzy]

If you're not going to give us any PPs at least get out the way.
