GDT: GM15 | Vancouver Canucks vs New York Islanders | Thur. Nov 14th | 7:00pm PST | SNP | Bronco Horvath

This team would get shitkicked by last year's team, and they have 80% of last year's roster.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Soucy ranks 157 out of 177 in expected GF%, Myers is 109 with a 47.86%. Out of D with 150+ 5on5 min


Soucy however has a 41.65% expected goals %. Absolutely not good enough.

Last year was our peak. We thought we needed to find a top 4 piece but ultimately we are short a 2nd pairing. Myers is at the end stage of his career and Soucy has had one of the worst drop offs I've seen by a Canuck blueliner.

It's just too much to overcome. Hold onto the picks and maybe try and ship out Myers and Soucy.

Even Shorty is disgusted. You are literally right there and it literally goes through you. f*** off

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Hughes the puck was right there.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Islanders fans watching this game are going to think they FLEEEECED us in that trade

The problem is pretty much bad everywhere with this team at this moment. Offense, defense, goaltending, coaching, special teams.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

everyone's been ass today

turning it off

Yup. This is a collective “effort”.

 

[Blue and Green]

So going to have a real good practice tomorrow? Guys are going to skate hard?

They will be skating harder tomorrow that they have today. Mind you, it wouldn't necessarily require a bag skate to accomplish that.

 

[EpochLink]

Tocchet is gonna blow his shit after this game

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ya Soucy is something. I'm shocked at how bad he is now.

 

[LordBacon]

I can't believe I have watched 52 minutes of straight trash.

Will gay trash be better for you?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Even Shorty is disgusted. You are literally right there and it literally goes through you. f*** off

I noticed that his tone was basically "okay seriously for f*** sakes, I could have blocked that pass"

 

[mossey3535]

Biggest issue last season was there was nobody to provide challenge for Myer's spot. Same problem this season. Desharnais can't, but IMO he wasn't a guy who we would be moving up the lineup this season.

So basically Myers always plays and is put into key situations for no reason. He f***s up Soucy who is not playing well either. We have nobody we can slot in for either of them.

Personally I would put Brannstrom on the 2nd pair but he's LHS so that's probably not going to work. But I think we HAVE to try. Honestly I'd love to see Brannstrom/Soucy even if they're both lefty.

 

[I am toxic]

The biggest concern - really the only concern - is that Alvin trades away an indispensable 5th round pick, as part of a deal to address the team's needs.

I don't have to remind anyone here: long after the Neely fiasco is forgotten, the Lafferty debacle will remain etched in the souls of Canucks fans, and unlike the ancient pyramids of Egypt no amount of whitewashing will erase it from history.

 

[arttk]

disaster class defense today

 

[Orca Smash]

Does anyone know what hronek was even doing on that play.

 

[valkynax]

I was telling one of my patients that I like Grey Goose vodka.

He told me to try Wyborowa.

I went to BC liquor and yes, they have Wyborowa and it's cheaper than Grey Goose, except these things only come in 1.14L bottles. Nonetheless I bought one.

Right now I'm thinking, after I get home from work, how fast should I down the whole bottle.

30 seconds?

 

[Bankerguy]

Fking embaressing game. players should be ashamed.
Imagine paying $220 for a ticket. $20 on parking, 30 bucks on a burger fries and beer and THIS is what you get .... disgusting effort

 

[God]

5-0 penalties for the isles, refs are getting a bonus from colin campbell

 

[604]

Hronek and hughes are completely limpdick defensively

Didn’t Lee just skate past Miller?

You’re blaming the D alone?

 

[LordBacon]

Does anyone know what hronek was even doing on that play.

his best

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The biggest problem I can see is that everyone we are giving more money to is playing considerably worse than they were at this point last season.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Hey welcome back Dakota

 

[EpochLink]

Soucy is trash, Hoglander is shit.
Both are on borrowed time.

Boooooooooo

Horrible, horrible effort

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hey welcome back Dakota

In his defense, that was a hella big sell job by Cizikas.
