Post-Game Talk: [GM34] Canucks lost to Senators | 4-5 OT | Boeser(2), Hughes, & DeBrusk | We Suck In OT

[bh53]

You can’t make this up anymore

wtf is happening???


Hughes and Tocchet did everything but confirm theres a rift and now after the game Boeser and EP40 are saying the exact opposite??

 

[Peen]

Those are 100% valid questions by the media. That’s on the PR team to let it get to this point. Especially given what Hughes and Tocchet said earlier today.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Wait why are people so mad at the reporters?

This is very clearly an issue, even confirmed by Tocchet and Hughes.

Both Tocchet and Hughes had very good responses to the questions.

Pettersson says it's not true... and now people are saying that it's all made up?

Obviously it's true. And people want to know what's going on. So the media is asking what the fans want to know.

 

[Kryten]

I dont feel sorry for an underperforming multimillionaire. But thats just me.

Its part of his job.

Hypothetically if a player suffers a personal loss like a wifes miscarriage or worse, should reporters ask about that multiple times after a loss with a a struggling player, or is there some decorum or journalistic integrity that should come into play?

At this point, Petey needs to hire a personal PR staff. He doesnt handle any sort of speculation or media scrunity well. At all.

 

[Peen]

Bieksa saying there’s select members in Vancouver media who are out to get Pettersson.

Wonder if Brough will comeback from vacation to throw a fit? lol

There’s only media person who would pick Miller over Pettersson and that’s Don Taylor. And that isn’t a result of a vendetta - that’s just an old dude going with his type of player.

Bieksa’s really good at his job but he isn’t infallible. Sometimes he just says shit.

 

[Diogenes92]

Why would you compare a miscarriage to a rift between teammates?

 

[Breakers]

Ray Ferraro said TSN Radio he can be blunt with his assessments as he and his wife agreed to keep things entirely separate

and he was tonight, he said Vancouver has to do something about this defense core. It is too polarizing when Hughes isnt on the ice. The rest of the defense have zero offensive instincts.

he LITERALLY showed a highlight package where 4 straight shifts, forbort, soucy, Myers, Desharnais all turned the puck over in the offensive zone.

Those guys are all 6/7 defense

 

[Zaddy91]

when did hughes and tocchet confirm theres a rift

 

[Jyrki21]

Vancouver is not actually a tough media market, get real. It's just one of a handful of cities where hockey is the top sport. So what? When's the last time an NBA or MLB player avoided L.A., Boston or New York? Enough with the scolding.

 

[Kryten]

Why would you compare a miscarriage to a rift between teammates?

Im comparing reporters being concerned over things that arent in the game

These urinalists know it's a very sensitive topic, they know team just lost another in OT, and they know everyone's on edge. The question was asked once, Pete gave a response that didn't result anything. If these urinalists knew better, they should know to STOP, and seek their answers elsewhere. It doesn't take a genius to know that after the first response if you ask the same shit again you're still not gonna get anything.

 

[EpochLink]

So after Mondays game against San Jose, this team needs a break

 

[rypper]

when did hughes and tocchet confirm theres a rift

Pre game interviews.

 

[thecupismine]

Not a good look when some people address an issue and others deny it exists. Something’s just off, and people aren’t on the same page.

Last year the team got the best of what it’s like to be in a Canadian market, this year they’re getting the worst of it, and the organization from the top down to the players need to get in alignment.

There’s no Sedins around to shield everyone from the bs either anymore - people didn’t realize how good we had it with them being so good at ignoring the noise & stupid media comments.

 

[Jack Tripper]

not sure how much these players acknowledge how softly they get treated by the local media market

they would be getting pillaged if they were in a major media market like new york, toronto, chicago, ect

Soucy is not a 6, but he absolutely needs to play next to a 2 or 3 to be a competent #4.

Last season’s blueline when healthy wasn’t top tier, but Cole was a better puck mover than these other plugs playing on the right rn witn Juulsen and Desharnais, while Zadorov was a lot better than Forbort as a puck mover.

They need two blue liners and to shift Forbort / Juulsen into 7/8 roles.

What's a urinalist?

 

[Diogenes92]

when did hughes and tocchet confirm theres a rift

They never denied it. Hughes said something along the lines of: "they can totally fix the issue."

 

[valkynax]

What's a urinalist?

Any so-called journalists that I have no respect for.

Quinn Hughes to the rest of the D-core after every game:

 

[Diogenes92]

It affects the roster. The future of the team.

Trade rumours have been blowing up.

Miller just came back from a leave of absence.

It hasnt exactly been quiet.

Someone who takes the piss.
