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

[bbud]

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.

Without league help ( stripes ) habs would have been lucky with a point bush league officials run by a betting buttman f him and his owned refs

Losing Hronek really hurt the defense, what a timely injury.
Honestly, I don't know how this management team can sit on its ass with this depleted team.

Defense has been signalling an SOS since Hronek went down, there are some players that shouldn't even be on the roster.

 

[Rotang]

Tocchet earned a long leash after last season but his usage of Juulsen is indefensible at this point. Huge blind spot.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Team isn’t very good.

Defense is horrendous.

JT playing to up his trade value.

Hoglander will never see the ice as a Canuck again.

 

[kanucks25]

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.

Soucy - Juulsen
Forbort - Desharnais

Please tell us what adjustments you'd make if you were coach.

I'm looking forward to some real technical ideas with lots of NHL level detail.

 

[God]

I only caught the last 5 minutes of the game, but Eric Furlatt made that call and I seem to always hear his name and Kelly Sutherland's when the officiating in Canucks games sucks shit. Not that that penalty wasn't entirely deserved.

 

[Peen]

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

Every ref ever is making that call in that situation. That's on Hoglander to know that. He interfered, he has to own that. Has to be smarter there

Soucy - Juulsen
Forbort - Desharnais

Well for starters I’d tell Juulsen the wrong flight time

 

[thekernel]

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

Lmao what??? I would be furious if Hoglander let his check walk by him

 

[kanucks25]

Well for starters I’d tell Juulsen the wrong flight time

If it's not one AHL level defender it's another. It won't make a difference.

 

[EpochLink]

Terrible off season pick ups on defense, Soucy is on borrowed time as he ain't done shit since he got here.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

I guess they have decided to just keep rolling this defense until the deadline.

 

[dez]

Tough pentalty for Hogs to take, he was playing well. Hopefully his game doesnt go sideways.

 

[VanJack]

the only reason this game even came close to OT was Lankinen. And the Habs are probably the weakest team they're going to face on this trip.

The rest of this road-trip has the potential to be really ugly.

 

[ManVanFan]

d core is trashhhhhh after hughes and hronek

But we have Foote and he's the cure for all the also crap incoming D in trades proposals, even though he can't fix Van's.

 

[kanucks25]

Lmao what??? I would be furious if Hoglander let his check walk by him

The penalty wasn't on Hutson who he did a good job of defending, it was on Anderson after.

 

[Nucker101]

Hard to believe this same management group with Tocchet as lead assistant coach won the cup with Letang, Schultz and Daley on the same blueline but here they're obsessed with giants who can't move the puck.

 

[Rotang]

I don’t catch a lot of Canadiens games but it was fun watching Hutson. He has warts but he’s going to be a hell of a player.

 

[VibinCanuck]

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.

I have serious questions about the coach and his talent evaluation if he can't see the need for someone to move the puck more effectively right now...

 

[Bgav]

Has Suter done anything since miller has been back? Like haven’t noticed him a single game since JT has been back

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Well for starters I’d tell Juulsen the wrong flight time

You send him to YXX instead of YVR.

 

[Bgav]

Every ref ever is making that call in that situation. That's on Hoglander to know that. He interfered, he has to own that. Has to be smarter there

Yeah don’t get the outrage, he hits a guy without the puck lol

 

[Peen]

Nice screen from Dach

 

[EpochLink]

I guess they have decided to just keep rolling this defense until the deadline.

By that time, this team might be out of the wild card spot.

Buddy our #1 centre and #1 goalie were currently playing like bums

This team is hanging by a thread in the playoff picture
