I see another Oilers-style loss coming at home.....Canucks are absolutely dead on their feet.

Beginning to seriously wonder if this blueline is even good enough to get them into the playoffs.

there's so many terrible teams in the west that it would be shocking for vancouver to miss the playoffs even if they don't make a single roster move

they're certainly not a threat to go deep in the playoffs with this roster tho

Defense is completely out of sorts from the pairings being put in a blender, but can’t really blame Tocchet. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do as a coach in that spot unless Hughes is going to play 30 minutes against the worst team in the league.

Lankinen not great, but my God this is Beaudreau level defense.

Myers sucked for roughly ~3.5 years of his previous 5 year deal, him sucking again is the least unpredictable thing about this season.

Soucy dropoff is surprising but again, the Myers effect is real. No d partner has survived two seasons with him and looked good doing it even when it looked okay to start.


This was just straight up awful negotiation by management.

Myers wasn't going anywhere. He wanted to stay in Vancouver.

They could've gotten him on 2 years, 2.5M and with no NTC's/NMC's.
Should have just told him he's getting one year deals every year and to deal with it if we really desperately wanted him back.

It's a B2B where we clearly look gassed on a couple shifts. Not buying as much into the pessimism here...

We've looked really good in a lot of moments offensively. Hoglander is already on the way out, so Soucy-Myers is the only big concern.

Hoglander is fine...

I have no idea where are the animosity is coming from against him. Soucy and Myers are the problem. A winger that plays 3rd line minutes isn't the issue.
Hes a an ahl player this season like it or not he isn't doing anything and takes of the dumbest penalties ever.
New years oof highlite reel f up
