We have willing combatants but we are a small team. We also don’t have good fighters.

they're incredibly soft. other than miller and sherwood their feistiest forward is probably garland. on the backend only hronek ever really mixes it up

what is he saying that's wrong? we're way too soft. PLD should be gumming down his next 60 meals, but he won't be.
Maybe. But he was a known quantity that worked well for the team (and the fans).
What do we expect when we have Hughes and a bunch of bottom pairing defenseman.
Not surprised that they would be slow and suck at moving the puck.
But if they won't even provide physical push back, then there's 0 point of building a defense with size/physicality.
Our captain, is injured and being targeted, if Soucy/Myers/Desharnais/Forbort don't look for blood, they are useless, not needed on this team.

Yup. It's a regular season game, you send a message to the Capitals and the rest of the league.
Yeah I'm no fan of the guy but he said nothing wrong there.
Someone should have fed Dubois even if it meant taking the team off the PP.
Yup team’s way too soft. If you target one single player like Hughes, you basically win the game. Why wouldn’t you?

Go Hawks!
He’s an idiot…”you can’t let him get away with stuff like that on your captain”…Desharnais tries to get PLD “but you can’t take penalties getting back at him”…well wtf are you expecting him to do?

If the trees can’t be physical, defend the captain, or PK effectively, I don’t understand in any world how they’re “systems guys.”
The only system they’re executing on is giving the puck directly to the other team. It’s brutal to watch.

Letting Zadorov walk over $200k was a bad, bad mistake. With Joshua out of the lineup, there is nobody to stop dickheads like PLD from taking runs at Hughes. Sherwood is great but nobody is scared of him.
It's for sure a separated shoulder or broken collarbone.

1. JT gets hurt, EP returns next game... coincidence?!
2. This is still only like 75% of PLD, when he really gives it 95%+ he looks unstoppable.
The guys on the panel were trying to say something along these lines without having to make Jennifer Botteril physically ill and vomit at the idea of retribution.
I would like to cash in our once a year Tyler Myers earth shattering hit coupon on Pierre Luc-Dubois please.

This team could easily be six points adrift of a wildcard spot by the end of this miserable road-trip.
Allvin needs to be a big-time seller at the deadline. They've got a bunch of guys who qualify as 'depth defenders'. They should be able to trade some of them for draft picks at the very least.
Elevate some kids from Abbotsford, and start planning for the draft.

What a useful distraction Miller vs Pettersson has been from the absolute dogshit level blueline this management has put in front of us.
The obsession with size, physicality over skill and talent has the potential to ruin any window this core has for contention. And yet it’s not too late, depending on the moves the front office will make moving forward.
Tocchet is looking like a dinosaur from a past gone era of hockey. His system is the anthesis of the modern NHL; strangling the game to the point of low skill, low entertainment.
I’m constantly bored watching the Canucks, which may be why we’ve placated the on-ice product with off-ice drama. I’m sick of it, I just want to be entertained, and win some games.

Zadorov is expensive but he is much more useful than Desharnais, Myers, Juulsen, Soucy.
Even if he's having a off game, you sure the hell know players would be held accountable for going after Hughes.
