GDT: GM16 | Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks | Sat. Nov 16th | 7:00pm PST | HNIC/SNP | Bedard Home Game

Branstrom having his worst period by far despite a nice hit.

Myers looks horrendous. Silovs isn't even close to NHL quality currently. Needs to play as a starter in the minors all year and get his confidence back.

Juelson hits, which I like, but his read on the goal was terrible.

 

[bbud]

That's a weak call

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Silov's rebound is so so bad

Lucky to be down 1 goal

 

[credulous]

They can just are not playing together at home just play simple and get pucks out

this only works if you're carolina and you only have players who can skate 50km in a period and still be first to every puck. vancouver's forward group is way too slow to generate enough offense off the forecheck

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

We need to split hronek and hughes. They need to stabilize another pair.

We can't. Do you really want to see Myers playing 20+ minutes a night?

While I have some confident Hronek could help stabilize Soucy, Myers may well bring down Hughes' ability because all he'll be doing is babysitting him. And I don't even want to imagine Desharnais next to Hughes.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Been saying this for weeks. He's way too set in his ways and refuses to adapt when his style isn't working.

His obsession with Big D is even more damaging than my own obsession with big D.

 

[Ozone]

Come on get it going here boys

Get moving boys!

So instead of trying anything else we just drown for 35minutes?

 

[Quinton Byfield]

i don't think it's effort. they just have too many players on the roster that can't advance the puck

It’s a combination of things. We don’t have puck movers beyond Hughes. This system of Tocchet’s does not allow for transition offense. We are also in the bottom half percentile in skating speed for forwards.

I don’t think our complete inability to create shots in the 2nd half and playoffs last year was a fluke or “Tocchet coaching more defensively because of Demko”.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

f*** Tanner Jeannot, honestly. This team is cooked without Boeser.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Holy f*** Miller

idk why that aimless backpass to his own zone irriates me so much

he didint even check that Soucy was going off for a change

 

[Kryten]

Hughes-Hronek
Soucy-Friedman
Brannstrom-Myers

No one can tell me this wouldn't be better.

Replace Myers with an inanimate carbon rod and we’re set

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Bedard practicing for being a Canuck

Bedard practicing for being a Canuck

Bedard a top 6D confirmed!

 

[bbud]

Big d isn't bad forwards have to buy in and make plays to help which at home they haven't

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

So instead of trying anything else we just drown for 35minutes?

Myers is already drowning in the role we're giving him. Adding even more reasonability to him won't help, it'll just hurt Hughes.

I mean, hey, try it if we go down 0-2 but I don't think it'll do anything. The solution is getting another defenseman.

Edit: wrong pic...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This team is just way too slow in general. A fast team will blow them out every time.

 

[VanJack]

1-0, but could easily be 5-0. Hawks up to 14 shots. I wonder if Tocchet can apologize to the fans after one period?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Peter isn't reading social media anymore...

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Blargh. Uninspiring period. Hope they do better in the second.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

****ing pathetic period against a bottom feeder given last games total non-effort.

 

[logan5]

Silov's rebound is so so bad

I think it's because he doesn't track the puck very well, so even a routine shot gets you a dangerous rebound. He is 100% an AHL level goalie. Should not be our back up. When the hell is Demko back?

 

[SillyRabbit]

Imagine playing like they did against the Islanders and coming out the next game at home like this
