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

[Canuckle1970]

I don't blame Petey for walking out of the scrum. I'd be fed up, too. Ask him questions about the game, not the effing "feud".

 

[potatowejj]

It appears to me that Miller has a shelf life in a locker room a lot like Torts has a shelf life as a coach.

 

[elitepete]

Miller f***ing sucks lol.

 

[kanucks25]

Wow Petey just said "people will make s* up" and then walked off. To be honest I don't mind it.

I personally think the whole thing is overblown but when Hughes and Tocc both specifically addressed it and didn't really deny anything it's hard to believe it's all made up lol.

 

[Kryten]

It is loser sport “reporters” and fans eating content up that makes women call this soap operas for men. Cant we just enjoy or bitch about the game and not any real or fake drama behind the scenes?

 

[xtr3m]

Hopefully we're getting towards this with 9 and 40.

 

[EpochLink]

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

Dhaliwal, f*** that guy

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Plays go to die on forborts stick

Not for the other team.

 

[potatowejj]

Also, somewhere along the line, act like f*cking adults.

 

[LordBacon]

I was gonna rip on Tocchet for getting Myers out with Hughes on that 4on4 but then I remembered that there are literally no better options.

 

[EpochLink]

Pettersson needs to go full Naslund

 

[potatowejj]

Also man we are missing Hronek badly rn.

They should kiss each other on the lips

 

[Hockeyphysio]

Toss Heinen on that list too, albeit for different reasons. I don't mind him as a player but spending 2M on a luxury instead of shopping for a better defenseman was a really boneheaded decision. Even Myers I would be fine with... if he's our 5th.

I just can't comprehend how they looked at this defense, even on paper, and thought, "Yep. That's Stanley Cup worthy."

And if their thought process was, "Eh, we'll fix it mid season with a trade." That's... a really stupid philosophy because now every team in the league wants to rip us off.

They got arrogant real fast and thought they could turn no talent monsters into good players

 

[Canucks LB]

Oh, for f***s sake’s here we go again

 

[Diogenes92]

We stole a point there. That was ****ing putrid beyond Hughes & PDG. That was a classic Miller game: all offense and no defense.

We've got 1 defender and then we've got 5 defenders who barely deserve more than bottom pairing minutes. The shift shortly after we tied up at 4-4 summed it up, we were actually able to generate a forecheck turnover which allowed for Pettersson & Garland to get to work, and so they set up a zone entry, so they start throwing the puck around, looking for a high quality chance etc etc. And then the puck made it's way to the blue-line which I think was Desharnais and (definitely) Forbort. So Desharnais goes to pass it to Forbort, and blows the pass and Forbort isn't able to fix things up and the zone entry ends.

I don't know how the **** we ever score goals when Hughes isn't on the ice. I mean, I know we barely create anything, but man, that was a ****ing awful display



I don't know how the hell we make a trade to fix this, because obviously it can't be a rental D. We can't blow more assets on rentals because we'll be in the exact same spot this time next year. So if we can't get a D with term/term control, don't ****ing bother.

All of this is true. Its insane that this team has a half decent record when they have been putting forward performances like this on a regular basis.

Hughes and Lankinen have carried this team to this point. If this keeps up theyll be fortunate to squeak into a wildcard.

Hughes should be in contention for the Hart and Ted Lindsay trophies this season. He is truly something special.

 

[valkynax]

Oh, for f***s sake’s here we go again

And people wonder why players do not like playing here.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Wow..Petey looked absolutely livid when asked about JTM…He stormed off.

 

[Kryten]

They should kiss each other on the lips

I want to not be able to tell where one ends and the other begins

 

[Canucks LB]

Wow..Petey looked absolutely livid when asked about JTM…He stormed off.

Yikes, video?

 

[Regal]

Out of a playoff spot and I doubt we will be in one for the rest of the year. This core is f***ing rotten.

What? They are the first wild card team by points. Second wild card team by points percentage.

 

[EpochLink]

Oh, for f***s sake’s here we go again

First of all, who the f*** asked him that question.
Second, Jim Rutherford is gonna scold the media in this city for asking such shit questions.

Basically, they have to wait for next season and hope that two rookies and a traded defender and "shoulders" Hronek returns to form. There's no other options.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Forbort is painfully bad with the puck. There is a reason he averages less than 2 goals per season.

 

[potatowejj]

Way too many people looking for their next column and making everything worse. Only media markets worse are Toronto and Montreal.
