Post-Game Talk: [GM51] Canucks lose to Stars | 3-5 | Garland, DeBrusk, & Soucy | Hughes Hurt, Season Over

Hughes is hurt. It's pretty apparent. If better not be something significant, or you can chisel the RIP on the 2024-25 season gravestone.

tbh didn't really have a problem with the performance in the first and second. difference was just not getting one on the PP but those PPs weren't bad imo, we just didn't get lucky. it happens.

the first half of the third was awful. conventional wisdom suggests that trailing by 1, and then by 2 not long into the 2, leads to a big push, shots on goal, risks taken, and that just didn't happen. is that a coaching thing. is that hughes being hurt. i dunno. but i didn't see anything that suggested the team and the coach knew they were down by 2 until that slightly deranged goalie pull.
 
Pettersson: Was meh aside from the stat line. Has got to take the game over.

Hronek: A maddening player that needs to establish #3 Dman form, now. Making boneheaded plays.

Garland: The driver. They tried to get to him because they know how important he is. Good game.

Demko: Not good enough. Has to be a difference maker and was just middling.

Edit: Hoglander: Great game. Bulldog on the ice.

I liked that they took it to DAL early, but should have capitalized on their PPs to put DAL on their heels. Ah well.

He needs to be gone weeks ago..
If this team wins another game this year I'd be surprised.Demko Boeser Debrusk Julssen Heinin Vinny D. Forbert all need to go.
Disagree about Boeser and DeBrusk but I wouldn’t be that upset to lose them. Boeser would suck to lose but I would understand
 
Honestly...it will be 25+ years before you get a star franchise player like Hughes.

Yeeeep. That's the truly sad part. He will go down as the best Canuck player in history if he stays. Which is why I'd just lose all interest if he doesn't.

Hughes better sit out of the four nations bullshit

Hope he does after getting shunned on A

Difficult. We need to acquire a C who’s good at face offs and match ups with the opposing teams top players.

1 C are the hardest players to get via trade and cost an arm and a leg
