Post-Game Talk: [GM39] Canucks lose to Canadiens in OT | 4-5 | Miller(2), Lekkerimaki, & DeBrusk | Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

[Rotang]

Sucks to lose a Miller ice tilting effort. We’re in tough for the rest of this road trip, really could have used the two points.

Didn't watch the whole game, but if these big trees on defense can't even PK properly, why the hell are they still playing and Brannstrom is on the bench?

What an abysmal season so far. Given how poorly they performed against 7 mediocre teams, I can only imagine how bad they're about to get trounced against the good ones coming up.

This is some 90s expansion level garbage on the backend outside of Hughes.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Wow..watching this team blowing 3rd period leads is getting infuriating.

Completely the opposite of last season.

[bbud]

I'm completely done with NHL reffing. It's embarassing.

EDIT: Hahaha Suzuki shaking the refs hand.

Says all we need to know f em boots.. k some stripes look at camera and say f you commish

 

[Nucker101]

Lane Hutson might actually be a decent defenseman

The Willander thread lied to me

 

[rypper]

Trade Hughes for Hutson, he's the new Quinn

 

[Bgav]

Habs looked like the better team for majority of the game. Garbage roster

 

[kanucks25]

I know it’s Hoglander and he can’t seem to do anything right - but that last call was weak as hell.

Oh well. Chalk up another frustrating loss.

Maybe soft given the timing but it was still stupid of Hoglander. Why give the refs a choice?

 

[brock hughes007]

This is a badly coached Tocchet team..
End of story...he could not even coach the Coyotes.There is a reason they fired his ass.

 

[geebster]

Lane Hutson with the Bobby Orr-like 3 points. We should trade Hughes for Hutson and Miller for Caulifield.

 

[604]

Last PGT people were saying (sarcastically) the team will never score again.

Grinded out another point without our #1 centre, #2 dman, and #1 goalie. This is a reasonable result while the team hopes for reinforcements from both within and via trade.

 

[StickShift]

What's more memorable—JT Miller willing the Canucks to a loser OT point, or JT Miller relegating the Canucks to a loser OT point?

 

[Lawzy]

So pissed at Hoglander man threw away a good game to take a penalty that EVERYONE KNEW THEY'D CALL!!

Entire arena is complaining about phantom calls - they're obviously going to call the actual penalty. Never letting that slide

Jesus man.

Your team is suffering with injuries - there's zero margin for error right now... you cant do that

My brother in Christ if this is sufficient to convince a ref, they deserve to be fired on the spot.

 

[thekernel]

Can’t call a weak penalty like that in the last minute of a tie game, great game ruined by the refs

Gifted them extra point. Just a complete non-penalty.

 

[Zanon]

Calling it now. That will be the only point the team gets on this road trip.

 

[PavelBure10]

You can only do so much when you have Myers, Soucy, Desharnais, Forbort, Juulsen dressed in your top 6. Brutal asset management by Allvin.

Speaking of brutal asset management wtf Hoglander.

 

[ManVanFan]

Does every team in the league move the puck better than the Canucks do?

Juulsen in particular has been terrible. It’s indefensible from Tocchet

 

[Bgav]

IMO it’s on management, garbage defence

 

[VibinCanuck]

What's the point of a "defensive system coach" when the team cannot hold a lead to save their life?

 

[Laterade]

I like how Tocchet heralds guys like Juulsen, Forbort, and Myers as "systems" guys yet they can't even turn around 90 degrees without attacking forwards passing them 100% of the time.

 

[valkynax]

At this point I have serious question about the teams medical staff and decisions regarding handling injuries.

Because this is truly starting to get absurd

 

[VanJack]

I really hope that by March the Canucks have four or even five rookies in the lineup.....Wilander, D-Petey, Kudryavtsev, Lekkerimaki and even Sasson and Raty.

They need to figure out who can play......and a number of guys currently in the lineup need to sacrificed at the TDL. Time to load up on picks and prospects.

This team simply isn't going anywhere......And I think Allvin knows it.

 

[Quinning]

Hutson skated circles around this team. He's the real deal. What a player.
