Post-Game Talk: [GM35] Canucks lose to Kraken in OT | 4-5 | Boeser(2), Garland, & DeBrusk |. いかにぎり🍣

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

I’m glad I missed this one. I just checked the boxscore and holy shit. They blow a 4-2 lead in the 3rd? Pathetic. Moves are needed, asap

Even worse. 4-1. With like five minutes left.

 

[ManVanFan]

SELL SELL SELL. restock on picks and try again next year.

I'm very torn on what should be done. Canucks if they want to make a trade can make a trade for a player that makes a little less than 4M a year. If no cap is going out.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

They're in a playoff spot currently. They'll get Hughes back, Hronek back, trade for defensive help. That's at least 3 moves. If they're in the hunt still, they're going to go for it.

The sky isn't falling yet as much as some might think or want it to be.

I mean there is zero chance they are winning a cup with this d-group, that much has become crystal clear.

We are more than one trade away from competing and there is too much risk. Our key players are breaking down after a mostly injury free season last year. It's time to recoup some picks and try again next season.

The OEL buyout cap hit is going to f*** our chances for the next few seasons anyways.

It's a good thing this d group won't be the unit they go into the playoffs with then.

I tuned in with 10 minutes left and decided to stay to the end, shit just happens sometimes.

I found the 3rd goal interesting from an hockey analyzing perspective as everyone immediately jumped on Juulsen but that didn't look right to me. While watching I thought the Seattle player hit his stick and knocked the puck along the middle. Watching the replay in slow motion though, the puck bobbles off his stick into the corner and I'm really not sure what he could from this position:

It's a cardinal sin to throw it up the middle, but Soucy was alone there and Juulsen got the puck to him. I feel like the blame is more on Soucy here as he got the puck flat and just wiffle balled it into the Seattle player. He may not have been expecting the pass but he saw it coming all the way and had ample room to make a better clear:

The easy/safe play would have been to back hand it up the left boards here.

given how slow that puck was coming to soucy and the angle of dunn coming at him, there was no way to backhand it to the left boards and no time corral it on his forehand

soucy didn’t get blown up physically but that was a flat out suicide pass

Yes what I think he actually tried to do was throw it between the two Seattle players which is just as well but obviously flubbed it.

Soucy had no business trying to make a cute little flip whiffing on it as well. You don’t have to clear the zone but don’t try that. Just play it back into the corner.

Physics says throwing it in the corner from where he was would have been a much more difficult play.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Does our coach know that you are allowed to play 3 forwards in OT?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Juulsen is 27…28 by the time the season ends. He’s not too young to understand what he does wrong. He’s too old to get any better. He is a 9th D-man. A guy you call up to keep the press box seat warm or play 6 minutes if you have to use him.

This coaching staffs love affair with him is bizarre.

I don’t buy the he’s just coming back thing with Demko. I’m sure some of that is true but ultimately he has been back in games and full practice for a month. His “training camp” is done. That’s why it’s a concern to me. Hopefully it’s simply a guy re-learning to trust his body.

Boeser has 5 goals in the last 3 games. He’s back on about a 40G/82 game pace. His play is fine. I personally love how much he’s developed into a net front presence,

Joshua…I don’t know what his cancer treatment entailed but typically that is something that takes a long time to bounce back from even. A long time, often your body gets torn down to beat the disease.

Miller…he’s certainly off. No doubt. But at least he was in good humor (see the celebration with Boeser and Soucy on that goal…he was joking around with Soucy).

I think we are both right with Juulsen and there’s nothing incongruous with that either.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Just checking the standings, I was a little surprised to find that we have a .600 winning pct.

Maybe we should dial it down a little, especially given the key injuries at moment.

 

[David71]

no. dont say cup the first round itself. D is atrocious. this is all ON allvin

If they lose their next game they will be 5th in the Pacific, below the flames and could soon be below the Kraken.

he should have ariel flipped it over the oncoming seattle player and that would give time for a change.. but no the complete opposite happened. which led to a goal against.

If they lose their next game they will be 5th in the Pacific, below the flames and could soon be below the Kraken.

its inevitable.

We are more than one trade away from competing and there is too much risk. Our key players are breaking down after a mostly injury free season last year. It's time to recoup some picks and try again next season.

this is the only way. even if they make one acquisition on D. it might work out it might not. the player still has to get adjusted to a new team system. but if that new player learns quick it could help solve "some of the problems in the backend. 1. must be LHD, 2. must be able to skate the puck out 3. defend better in the dzone.

Thanks, I guess. But I've been critical of Myers many times.

Took me 2 seconds to find this.

GDT: - [GM52] Canucks @ Red Wings | Sat. Feb 10th, 10:00am | SNP | Reset & Reload

I posted not to play Myers and Cole together. Cole is dragging Myers down.

You don't criticize Myers here though. Kind of a terrible example.

What are we going to do with those picks?

What the f***?

When I said, "Horrible defending by Myers," I was not criticizing Myers?

There is not a single sane person on this forum who would agree that was not a criticism of Myers. People who live on a funny farm might have your back.

Do you see how your post presents itself?

My last one? Yeah, that was maybe a little harsh. Sorry about that. But I do not understand your interpretation of my post about Myers. Telling me I didn't criticize Myers when I said, "Horrible defending by Myers," is mind-boggling.
