Post-Game Talk: [GM39] Canucks lose to Jets | 4-7 | Miller, Studnicka, Horvat, Dries

[SeawaterOnIce]

It’s almost like this team sucks.

We were a playoff team in 2020.

 

[arttk]

Lol another shorty

Getting closer to that 7-6 prediction

Canucks coaches have done a great job today using Hughes/Bear as a 5man offensive unit with the EP line. Unfortunately it means the other units are awful, but oh well.

 

[tantalum]

Coach needs to stop Hughes from taking point shots

No. In general, he really just needs to realize his slap shot ant going to overpower anyone and just get shots through for people to tip. A hard shot isn’t his game but no reason why sneaky wrist shots can’t be.

10 goals on 54 shots….tenders are getting better!

Yeah I think if ends to shoot he needs to really pick his spot. He’s not prime Weber so he really needs to stop doing throws bad Weber impression

Exactly. Bear and Schenn both do a great job of this.

The 84-85 Penguins hold the record for shorthanded goals allowed - 22. Canucks are on track to break that record.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

6 goals on 26 shots doing good

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Bedard to canucks baby

Nope. It will be someone a little worse than Podkolzin. Hurray!

 

[bbud]

That last play on d Hughes was good he kept with his check took away lane created chance to gain possession thats what often he lays back on his last few d shifts are exactly what he needs to be every shift criticism gone that was just work hard and well done .

 

[wonton15]

Lockwood looks a lot better than what he showed in preseason. Deserves a line blender move up eventually too

Boeser with two opportunities that Kuzmenko would’ve converted on.

 

[logan5]

Jesus Boeser do something!

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Boeser so good

 

[ahmon]

give him some credit, Boeser with a decent pp shift, a lot of good puck retrievals there.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I say this actually out of being calm and not angry at the game but …. I wouldn’t care much if FA sold the team to an American billionaire who moved it to Portland or Kansas City whatever.

It’s been bad for so long and it’s 6-7 years away from getting rid of bad contracts ASSUMING we don’t sign any more which is a dumb assumption. Missing on Virtanen, Juolevi, Podkolzin all top 10 overall picks in 7 years was a death blow. Trading for OEL and signing Miller until 2030 was icing.

 

[ahmon]

that drag move by Kuzmenko, wow

 

[logan5]

Kuzmenko makes our 2nd unit dangerous.

 

[wonton15]

Kuzmenko makes our 2nd unit dangerous.

Balanced by Boeser neutering our PP1.

 

[m9]

No.

 

[Orca Smash]

Don't know how the coaches and team can't see the practice they need on the powerplay is shooting. Outside of Horvat nobody on the first unit can seem to hit a corner or the net half the time. Hughes misses the net from the point, miller constantly misses, boeser misses. Last powerplay summed it up. It's such a simple basic thing they probably don't think of it.

 

[ahmon]

I see the Jets score, and I see Myers on the ice, checks out

 

[Vector]

There’s that Connor hattrick.

 

[MS]

Keep the core together for one more year. Wait and see approach

The core is lighting it up.

The problem is the slow, crappy, overpaid mid-level players - Boeser, OEL, Myers, Pearson. And the terrible goaltending.

 

[tantalum]

Opposition hat trick….I got a BINGO!

 

[Vector]

It's funny cause it's rehabbing Miller's value + boosting Kuzmenko's next contract, but at the risk putting us back into fake playoff picture meaning they are less likely to capitalize on the value of both players, the latter being one who could walk for nothing after a PPG season.

I don’t think this is actually going to be a problem.
