You send him to YXX instead of YVR.

I recommend FNJ.

 

[WiLBoY]

This team won't even be in a wild card spot by the of the road trip. Better teams are coming

 

[kanucks25]

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

Who cares, he makes 1.7M and has 11 goals.

 

[rypper]

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

Canucks will win both games back to back versus the leafs and canes because hockey be like that.

 

[EpochLink]

The inability to hold onto leads falls on the defense, just bad.

 

[Lawzy]

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

If you haven't seen that play 50 times a year not get called you aren't paying attention. In an ideal world, refs manage calls based on nothing except whether it was a penalty or not. But that's simply not how it works. That call is 100% the result of the refs folding under the pressure of the Montreal fans.

For the record, I think that's a penalty and should be called every time regardless of the context. But I also watch hockey and know that's not how any of this works.

Canucks deserved that and are largely a terrible hockey team but it doesn't make it any less frustrating to watch.

EDIT: This is true whether or not the penalty is the Anderson play or the Hutson play btw. They're both penalties.

 

[brock hughes007]

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.

Juulsen and Vinny to Abby and bring up Mcward and Petty D...get them some playing time..can't be any worse the those 2..

 

[Diogenes92]

Really glad they rushed Hughes back for this one.....

Yeah honestly its a disgrace.

Shows how desperate they are at this point.

Puck is nowhere near and Hoglander pushes Anderson to the ice. How is that even a debatable call?

 

[EpochLink]

I still cannot believe we send that sack of shit Juulsen out there, guy has no hockey sense whatsoever. Can't defend, can't skate, can't forecheck, can't do anything except take penalties and leave his man open.

I don't give a f*** if he's from Abbotsford, this man shouldn't be on this god damn team.

 

[Lawzy]

How do you crosscheck someone without a stick?

over reacting. He's making league minimum, and should be our 7th man at best. And to everyone bitching that Hughes should not have played tonight, hey it probably got us a point. that we need. Hope Petey is back soon.

 

[dez]

Did Anderson Play the puck there? Isn't that just a slightly late hit

 

[Lawzy]

My bad lol fixed

For the record, I agree it's a penalty. I'm just frustrated that refs are never consistent with how they ref a game. Call it all. Call nothing. I don't care as long as you call the game consistently (and ideally within the rulebook).

 

[Nucker101]

last minute of a tie game, i've seen plenty worse than that go uncalled.

I wish we got calls like this at home

This is the same D that Bruce and Travis had. Why does Tocchet get the pass? It's actually probably still better then what they had actually. Lol.

 

[valkynax]

The call is a bit on the weak side, but the team also played themselves into this kind of situation.

Majority of the blame is on management who failed to account for depths that can mitigate possible key injuries.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

With all these injuries, this team should be playing 2000’s Jacques Lemaire hockey.

Boring as hell but least they have a chance.

If he's our 7th defensemen, send him to the press box and play Brannstrom.

We were trying to do that (unintentionally?) and we almost lost our minds here. Now we’re playing Travis Green mushy hockey.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

Haven't checked this in a while, but I see the Canucks are back down at 30th in all-time winning percentage. Only Seattle and Columbus are worse. This is a garbage franchise and always has been. Enjoy!

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Props to everyone here (was pretty much everyone) that knew this defence was going to be an issue going into the season. Hard to believe Allvin gets paid thousands of dollars and couldn't see it.
