GDT: [GM36] Vancouver Canucks @ Calgary Flames | Tue. Dec 31st | 6:00pm PST | SNP | Don’t Look Back in Anger

[Canucks LB]

At least tickets should go down in price, could actually catch a game soon

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

By far the most apt title of the season. Something big is about to come. I don’t know why or how. I just feel it coming like a train and it’s either really good or really bad.

 

[Flik]

Welp, that's the season.

Yup

Hughes & Pettersson

• Won’t make the road trip to Calgary & Seattle
• Pettersson is probably a week away; give or take a day
• Hughes is week-to-week

Hughes Playing Against San Jose

• Wouldn’t have been injured further playing that game
• Won them that game with a couple of assist
• Does not think him playing made a difference in the injury
• Talked to doctors, the players, and coaches to determine if he should play

Last Night’s Game

• Play the cards you are dealt
• Some guys are getting opportunities and need to handle situations correctly
• This will make these players better in the long-run
• There were other mistakes by a lot of guys with 4-5 minutes left
• Mentions the line changes being bad
• Need to get over the mistakes and focus on the next game
• Don’t make the mistakes again

Shorter Shifts for Defencemen

• Forwards need to be better at identifying when they should get the puck in deep so the defencemen can change

Goalies

• Both goalies will play on this trip
• Haven’t decided who’s playing on Tuesday

 

[VanillaCoke]

Not too concerned, team is good enough to ride out a few more weeks

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

It's weird that last year we the what felt like less to work with the team made a lot of moves. This time around they have had much more injuries and guys missing but they don't seem very concerned.

 

[rypper]

The game versus Seattle was in the bag until a series of errors and brain farts. It wasn't like they got absolutely stomped. Just tighten it up for the whole 60. They're going to beat Calgary and then turn around and beat Seattle.

 

[WiLBoY]

TEAM IS COOKED

 

[ghostingtaro]

kuzmenko hatty against us,

 

[ManVanFan]

To me this is the opposite, last year when everything was going great you add to the team aggressively like Rutherford did.

A season like this you only shop long term for another Hronek type deal, and those are super rare trades and difficult to find a partner for.

Who though is the question. Only reasonable name I've seen mentioned is Byram and Petttersson and we don't have the extra assets to acquire them like they did with Hronek.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

I feel like there has been a few recent "day-to-days" and "week-to-weeks" that have lasted a really long time...but I am probably just imagining things right?

 

[potatowejj]

Unbelievably cursed season for a cursed franchise when you add everything up.

Demko out for months
Joshua gets cancer
Boeser takes a dirty cheapshot and still hasn't quite recovered
Hronek out for months
Hughes out for weeks now
Pettersson now potentially out weeks
Miller out a month for personal issues

After a promising season last year, apparently the hockey gods decided (again) that Canucks fans can't have nice things.

 

[the big nobody]

Somehow still in a playoff spot. With Tyler Myers on the top pairing that's likely to change. Oh well, it was an interesting season while it lasted.

The hockey gods mustve been busy doing other things last year. We only got their attention with Peteys signing and then the 1st game of the playoffs though

 

[rypper]

kuzmenko hatty against us,

Hard to do from the 4th line, even harder to do from the press box.

 

[David71]

lose this game kiss the season goodbye. its better. keep the prospects dont panic. hughes hronek will have a full year to recover lol. clagary will win kadri and hubby hattrick. 5-2

 

[DFAC]

Open up the tank thread again boys, this team is done

 

[LordBacon]

See you guys next year I guess,
almost everything has gone wrong.

Who we tanking for this year?

 

[kanucks25]

As bad as we've looked at times so far this season I always had the firm belief that we'd eventually turn it around once the team gets healthy and we make a move or two.

But neither of those things have happened, and now we're in an even worse spot than we have been with Hughes and Hronek both out multiple weeks. Petey being out of the lineup for a week doesn't even seem like that big of a deal in comparison.

[xtr3m]

Pretty concerned. It's a different team when #43 is not on the ice.

 

[DimitriL07]

Just ask Elon if he can take Myers and Juulsen, so he can ship them off as test dummies to see if Mars is liveable.

 

[valkynax]

That's a weird way to spell "the Sun".

Yeah, this is not good to say the least. Oh well, shit happens, not much we can do about it.

 

[Flik]

Whatever happens to the team this season, remember, we'll always have each other

 

[AzNightmare]

I would rather watch them lose in my own home. Commuting to downtown is time consuming.
