The sad part is that he just said he was disappointed in the team last game, and this is what they come out with. You can’t say he isn’t losing the room.

forbort
desharnais

Imagine choosing that over Tanev. Couldn't be us.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Roussel
Beagle
Eriksson

Nah Roussel was great. Would’ve been better if he didn’t tear his MCL but he was a beast.

 

[WTG]

You mean you didn't like the salute??

Not particularly.

 

[Bourdon]

I can't remember a team that cant create any rush opportunities. We never get two on ones or breakaways. Just good ol dump ins with no sustained pressure. Team is ass, but this system sucks brother

Same thing happening in Anaheim. Low event hockey utterly dragging down their young stars’ production.

Chances on the rush is how the modern NHL is played. Not this regressive dinosaur shit

 

[LemonSauceD]

Not particularly.

But it was a moment of passion! And he’s autistic!

 

[Curm]

Well, at least they won't be blowing a 3rd period lead tonight.

A little better with the "protect the guts" then "glass and out" strategy in their zone and a good dump and chase game in the Oilers zone, and they might be able to keep it to 3-0. Good dumps are key.

 

[Nuckles]

Has Tocchet lost the room?

Yes, but it's completely inexcusable that Rutherford and Allvin let it get anywhere near this point.

Doing absolutely nothing for more than half a season while there were serious issues since game 1. And they just let it fester to the point where every team knows the Canucks are desperate to make a trade and will lowball.

 

[Zippgunn]

Demko from last year saves the first and third goal and this is just a 1 goal game right now. Not sure why stuff is going through his pads so much this year.

Not his fault though the team is running around, but this team did that last year too at times and he saved us. Sucks to not have above average goaltending when we are used to it being a strength.

Agreed on the goals, #2 was a no hoper. Exactly what happened to Silovs early this year is happening to Demko now; the team is sleepwalking in front of him and despite him making some nice stops he's also giving up crummy goals and isn't making THE big save when he needs it. Him getting reinjured is inevitable IMHO...

 

[WTG]

But it was a moment of passion! And he’s autistic!

Yeah....... That's it....

 

[Dirtyclapper]

Not particularly.

It's a crazy time were living in you can do that on TV and it's completely fine. I said it in another thread but that was the straw that broke the camels back and I deleted all my socials. Something better needs to come along

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Imagine choosing that over Tanev. Couldn't be us.

Hell...I'd even have OEL at the 7.25mil he was making.

 

[WTG]

Has Tocchet lost the room?

I don't think so, just Miller.

 

[Kreator]

sell

 

[ephmrl]

Tocchet is lucky he's got some job security from the Canuck front office.....these games are the kind of results that get coaches fired.

Does he really have job security? He’s in the last year of his deal and Allvin didn’t really give him any ringing endorsements in his media availability.

 

[Nuckles]

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Nah Roussel was great. Would’ve been better if he didn’t tear his MCL but he was a beast.

Ok fine. Sub in Myers at 6mil instead.

 

[VanJack]

They're playing like they're waiting for 'the other shoe to drop'. This is all on Allvin. If he does nothing in the next couple of weeks--it's obvious he's writing off the season.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

 

[ephmrl]

Reminds me of the Spencer Martin season where we couldn’t get any big saves and it blew our season up right from the start

 

[Nuck Bonino]

I think Demmer misses Ian Clarke

 

[Wayward Son]

Hronek has been awful, too. We’re so screwed lol

 

[WTG]

It's a crazy time were living in you can do that on TV and it's completely fine. I said it in another thread but that was the straw that broke the camels back and I deleted all my socials. Something better needs to come along

Bluesky is pretty good, I like the fact you can follow a topic. It needs some improvements when it comes to seeing top posts and filter out the randoms. If they had a feature where I could follow just reporters that would be nice.

 

[ephmrl]

I think Demmer misses Ian Clarke

I think he misses his popliteus a little bit more
