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

Must be nice for the other team to know they can make a mistake and nothing will happen because it’s impossible for this team to capitalize on them.

 

[Canucks LB]

Well since I’m gonna be negative today, I might as well continue, Joshua has been pretty awful this season, he has an amazing reason, and I’m thankful he’s healthy, don’t get me wrong, but eventually we have to get the player we signed back.

It’s time for him to step up and start playing better, I hope he can

 

[Coffee]

Getting rid of Juulsen would improve our defense core

To be fair he calmly got that puck out of the zone in that sequence

 

[mriswith]

We need a trade, we don’t need some crazy trade or top prospect type trade, but we need a trade for some sort of defensive d and just to at least bring some energy to this group after losing Quinn and hronek

I think we do need a big trade on d and it can't just be for a defensive d. A legit 2LD who is of the calibre to temporarily cover the top line is transformative.

Hughes-Hronek
Legit 2LD-Myers
Brannstrom-Soucy

Would help a lot. Free 3.5M cap dumping Forbust and VD. Would take a big trade and the coaching staff to break their philosophy for the bottom pairing but you'd have 60 minutes of consistent puck moving instead of 25 right now.

 

[Peen]

Played pretty hard and well that period but it looks like a team that’s missing 3 more top four defenders and two more difference makers up front.

 

[Kryten]

Why tf is the Canada game on intermission as well?

 

[Ozone]

I see you guys are having a great time.

I think honestly, we need a defensive defenceman who can move the puck, because finding offensive guys who can move the puck and play defence is pretty impossible at this point of time.

Hockey gods were Zadorov fans

 

[VanillaCoke]

It's comical watching nearly the entire roster make the dumbest possible decisions at almost every opportunity

 

[Canucks LB]

But the funny thing is, you just know if this is pissing us off so much, imagine if you’re Rutherford or Alvin, I am sure they’re just as pissed off.

Probably at themselves for screwing up the off-season with the defence.

I am 100% sure they will figure this out, I have full confidence

 

[Canucks LB]

Oh, f*** it, let’s go one more
Is it bad I feel more confident right now with lankinen then demko?

 

[Peen]

Honestly the saddledome is a better viewing experience than Rogers.

Wider concourses, and the viewing angles are better. Seats have a harsher incline so you’re not blocked by the person in front.

Only been abused by a coked out person once! Surprisingly wasn’t a dude either. Girl told my 6 year old niece to get the f*** out of the way… when the concourse was pretty much empty. Substances..

Our record is in a good spot but damn, we can’t be f***ing up these late game collapses

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Not a bad opening road period, goal against aside, of course.

Would be nice if we could actually punish the Flames for some of their turnovers.

 

[Canucks LB]

Our record is in a good spot but damn, we can’t be f***ing up these late game collapses

Here is something positive other than our record, I really like how Brock Boeser is playing

 

[Josepho]

Demko has been playing closer to Silovs than he has to Lankinen this year.

Terrible backup goaltending has probably cost us 5 or so points.

 

[eviohh26]

I'm busy cooking the fam some dinner. How we looking out there? 11 Shots looks hopeful .

 

[Canucks LB]

Here is another positive, somehow we’re still in a good spot for the playoffs considering this season has been a tire fire.

Do you know who was negative the other day, Canucks Clay!

Canucks f***ing Clay!

This guy is like the most positive human being on this earth!

I thought Rogers had the steepest incline because the building is squeezed between the viaducts. That would explain the smaller concourse area at Rogers arena.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I have an excuse today because the world juniors are on but after last game, I don’t think I can handle watching our current defense play. Just way too bad for my mental health. Even the Benning years didn’t have 2 #6’s as our top pair.

I just can’t watch this.

 

[Canucks LB]

You know what, the Calgary Flames play with a lot of heart and a lot of hustle, they have something decent building

 

[Peen]

It’s not steep at all, or even if it was, the bars completely obstruct the view when sitting down unless you’re 6’2 and above.

Maybe that was the code at the time - x degree incline or something as a max.

Should have made it a bit smaller and harsher inclined so that there weren’t that many obstructions. I haven’t been to an arena that I haven’t preferred, albeit I’ve only been to 6 in total.

Rogers arena hallways are hell.

Like the Canucks




Last year

Hronek can run the 2nd pair, proven ability with Olli Maata, a much easier cheaper tier dman to acquire..

Hughes looks unreal no matter who plays there, and tbh lately I'm thinking hide Myers there. He's been bad everywhere else, isn't going anywhere, and can handle the 5v5 minutes.

Defense suddenly looks much improved for not much real asset cost.
