Travis Green disrespecting us by playing the rando over Ullmark

Make him pay

 

[crowfish]

Watching Garland play on the PP1 in the spot where Dylan Geunther should be is just annoying

Tonight’s Game

• Feeling good and excited to play on a Saturday night
• 2 games before the break and everyone is excited for that

Slow Starts

• Even though everyone is a professional, won’t be able to bring full energy 82 times a year but trying to go into every game bringing your best

Miller & Pettersson Rift

• A lot of learning for everyone on the team
• Everyone knows about the reports
• There are times where he’s upset with Miller or Pettersson or Hronek but that doesn’t mean they don’t love each other
• Everyone is going to make a bad play
• Over 6 years as teammates, these bumps are normal and will happen
• His job as a leader is to continue to keep everyone “on the yellow brick road”
• Short-term goal is to have a good game tonight
• Long-term is being a successful team and make the playoffs
• 100% he believes “it’s workable” and knows “it’s workable”; saw it last season
• Thinks both Pettersson & Miller have been going through their own struggles this season; loves both of them and says they are great players & people
• The locker room is a family and need to continue to push forward
• If there’s a positive, both Petterson & Miller would say they haven’t played their best hockey and are still doing well in the standings

Games Before the Break

• Continue to compete as hard as they can
• Bring your best each night and act like a professional
• Play for each other then go enjoy family and a rest afterwards

The bolded says it all for me.

 

[Peen]

can’t have this be an ugly loss tonight. fan reaction could be absolutely significant

certain guys getting booed etc

 

[sting101]

Go to the NET will ya

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Great answer from Hughes. Hopefully the team can figure itself out and get on the right track.

 

[rypper]

Hughes is the best.

 

[David71]

Bench Miller and Pettersson. Indefinitely.

Debrusk-Suter-Boeser
Heinen-Sasson-Sherwood
Joshua-Blueger-Garland
Hoglander-Raty/Aman/Lekk/random C call up-DiGiuseppe

but they gotta sit far apart in the press box. lol if not one can watch in the dressing room

Petey and Miller should quiet the noise a little by coming in to the rink hand in hand

we need this before tonights game

 

[VanillaCoke]

Green + Merilainen = Canucks -1.5

 

[Cogburn]

A new use for those Covid barriers from the concourse, I guess.

We should get Marchand from Boston. We can boo him every night and he will outperform anyone in the league.

 

[kanucks25]

Dont get the infatuation of having Garland on PP1 over Debrusk who has 6 PP goals and has been our best net front guy

It's for puck retrievals / possession.

Garland is good at it but yeah I'd have Debrusk there instead and again have the top players "figure it out" on entries instead of needing Garland to do it.

It’s probably where Miller and Petey disagree/fight because at one point the PP was so terrible they couldn’t even enter the zone.

My captain

How come no one chants his name

 

[Deeds26]

My captain

How come no one chants his name

Not enough syllables for it to be catchy enough.

 

[Tact]

My captain

How come no one chants his name

Best player on team, Norris winner and no one chants his name.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Not enough syllables for it to be catchy enough.

How about:

Cap-tain Hu-ughes clap clap clap clap clap

I'm in a goofy mood today.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I don’t like the player name chants. Rather we just chant for the team.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Yeah, it used to be GO CANUCKS GO! But we're not in the crowd.

And, if the crowd wants to do individual player chants, no one has earned it more than Hughes.

To be clear, I think player chants are fine as long as it doesn’t replace team chants. I don’t think there was a single Go Canucks Go chant the entire previous homestand.

When a guy like Sherwood had a game he had, I’m obviously fine with it. But like cmon, let’s get the whole team going from time to time. Granted, their play lately hasn’t inspired much of any sort of thrilling action but I digress.

 

[vancityluongo]

eh there's a pretty established chant that is absolutely suitable

M-V-P

 

[rypper]

E-P-40 (just in case we need it.)

yes this fits

Like the "Hughes your daddy" chant

You can buy one for me.

Miller & Pettersson Rift

• His job as a leader is to continue to keep everyone “on the yellow brick road”

So what you're telling me is that Hughes thinks one is missing a brain and the other is missing a heart
