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

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Sky is falling.

It's funny because if this team was 7-3 or even 5-5 in OT I don't think there would be this kind of negativity.

Defense needs to be addressed but Allvin will cook something up. I expect this team will have a strong second half and this negativity will be an afterthought.

So sick of Petey

Overpaid soft wimp

Guy has had 3 seasons to build up his body and strength and he not could bother one bit

Looks like a baby deer on the ice

Trade him away

Team has quit on Tocchet and clearly he has zero control of the dressing room

Move on, he was never qualified to coach this team in the first place

And hire who exactly?

 

[B-rock]

Full season the Canucks now have a 36% GF% at even strength without either Hughes or Brannstrom on the ice. It’s catastrophically bad and the coaching staff not playing Brannstrom is frankly a joke at this point.

Had the same thought watching the 4 towers butcher the puck on every touch. It’s inexcusable. Tocchet and Foote need to move into the 21st century where hockey revolves around skill and speed.

Petey miller aside, this team isn’t good enough to win a cup. 60 years before we win? Shit is sad

 

[B-rock]

This is worse than anything under jim benning

Whole core minus hughes needs to be traded

No. It’s not.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

I don't like that all the players we call 'vets' are younger than me.

Not even close. Lmao

I don't really have an issue with EP's reaction. He said next question and they asked him the same thing lmao. In the context of a close loss against a hated coach in the middle of a bad season after he's publicly shut down his social media to avoid having to deal with all the off ice speculation and drama.

Ideal? No. Calmly giving disinterested 5 word answers every time this comes up would work a lot better.

I'm so sick of watching Hughes stuck with Myers and I'm so sick of watching EP stuck with a bunch of grenade handlers on d who ruin every shift with offensive possession. Hronek can't come back soon enough and we need a trade.

For all the talk about EP and Miller, this stat is the problem with the team. We have a McDavid tier dman right now and then after that every single dman is bottom pairing at best save for short spurts of looking better than that and not one of them can actually move the puck or contribute to sustained ozone possession with any consistency.

'It must be murder to keep QH in front of you (at the blueline)' is an all-timer. Ray. He'd probably kill karaoke after a few Kokanee the way he deliver'd it.

Nobody probably wants me to do this, but this is definitely Allvin's problem. Not his fault.

You spell JT Miller wrong

he has been traded twice due to butting heads with teammates

and soon there will be a 3rd time

I saw that the Senators official Twittee account posted a video of their locker room post victory and well, here are a few screen grabs.

Something has to give, our results and underlying numbers are lottery worthy when Hughes is on the bench. Some of the blame rests on management for assembling such an ineffective and poorly constructed defense core, but the fact that Tocchet continues to sit the only other effective puck mover on our roster in Brannstrom is mind boggling. Really starting to erode my faith in the coaching staff.

Lottery is an understatement - it’s worse than any team in the NHL since they started tracking these stats. The Sabers who blatantly tanked harder than any other team I’ve ever seen for McDavid are the only ones close on the numbers.

Even if you acknowledge that Brannstrom only succeeds in sheltered third pairing minutes, there’s at least a world where he DOES succeed.

These other guys outside of Hughes don’t have that. The poor dude is holding on to the puck way more in the offensive zone because he has zero faith that his partner can even handle a pass.

Win or loss, nothing short of a storybook ending
