GDT: [GM41] Vancouver Canucks @ Carolina Hurricanes | Fri. Jan 10th | 4:00pm PST | SNP | Half Way There

[David71]

Hughes has become a target. We have zero push back. Should of kept gritty guys like Zadorov and Cole and we could use a bruising 4th liner even though everyone always complains about a player like that being trash... Instead we get guys like Di Guiseppe doing what exactly?

and heinen just skating around..

 

[God]

what's sadder is that this is carolina's 5th game in 7 nights, and the canucks are getting outworked

 

[David71]

Much as I want to blame Tocchet's conservative style. It's hard to expect anything with this craptastic defense. I mean, the hell are you supposed to do with Forbort, Desharnais and Juulsen?

chip the puck off the glass.. or get hemmed in their own zone and get scored on. no other choice.

Yes I have a hard time blaming, or even getting a read on, the forward group with so many plugs running around on the blue line.

 

[wonton15]

Watching those Dubois/Hughes highlights and seeing Heinen/Desharnais just do nothing is the stupidest shit. This is why I miss Zadorov Cole etc.

 

[me2]

Is Brannstrom not playing? That has been a continuing mistake in the past and continues to be.

Basically instead of Hronek/Hughes at least giving the offence some juice 1/3 of the game, now it's just Hughes trying to babysit Myers most of the time.

Selection criteria

Step 1. Are you a top pairing D, get selected. If not

Step 2. Line up in order of height

 

[PG Canuck]

Haven’t felt this detached to this team in a long while.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Canucks score zero goals, 9 shots after 2 periods, show highlights regarding team toughness...Makes sense.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Injuries piling up.

Tough schedule for rest of January.

This team could be send .500 come Feb.

Heinen has been dog shit

Probably more truth to this than one would expect, or hope.

 

[orcatown]

Injuries, the Benning legacy and awful off-season moves by present management have doomed this team. They are simply too weak in several areas and too banged up to be competive at anything like a high level.

 

[alternate]

Started to get a bit of push offensively the second half of the period. Third period is where the 5 games in 7 nights is felt.

Get the next goal and see what happens.

Rick Tocchet hockey

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Call up anyone from Abby that can make an outlet pass. Send down two of these slugs so tochett can't play slugs like he want to.

Can't wait for hronek and Willander. They will look like Bobby Orr compared to these stiffs

 

[brock hughes007]

Is Hogs out this game over PDG..

 

[Canucks LB]

f*** it hottake: rookie pettersson is way better than this version We’re getting right now.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Mgmt brought in tree trunks on the back end.

But they are soft as butter, have no push back, barely play defense and can’t make a pass.

Media needs to shut it regarding EP, JT and literally anything else other than the fact the defense that was assembled is Bottom 5 in the league. And that’s with Hughes and realistically, with Hronek as well.

 

[Vector]

Haven’t had a chance to watch much. Assuming everything is going great and there are no complaints.

I am not talking about the Canucks.

There is no push. A push would require more than one defenseman that can shoot or pass or stick handle or anything for that matter. Quinn Hughes magic is really all this team has and the other team knows it.

I forgot a game was happening. Just waiting for NFL playoffs to start tomorrow.

Looks like I am not missing much.

Yes.

Is the hot take in the room with is right now?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

f*** it hottake: rookie pettersson is way better than this version We’re getting right now.

I keep saying it...Rookie Pettersson had the best wrister since Markus Naslund. It had power, accuracy and the release was lightning quick. That shot is totally gone.
