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

[Bobby9]

Murph was asking some good questions to Hughes and Pettersson.

OMG. He is embracing the hard. Lmao

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

wtf is “it’s a business” supposed to mean? both myers and tocchet said this

 

[brock hughes007]

So what's next Allvin?

Are we moving Pettersson

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Probably been a rough go but now it’s time for EP to step up.

Here’s hoping.

Least the fans in Columbus should be more understanding.

I'm not sure you can read too much into this. It just sounds like they want to skirt the question with the most anodyne and neutral term they could think of. Sort of channeling, it's nothing personal, it's just business, even though everyone knows otherwise.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

I hear JT Miller could potentially be available. Imagine a one two punch of him and Petey down the middle!

Who throws the first punch?

 

[ManVanFan]

A winger that can finish might help a little.

 

[Joe Rogan]

In the post game interview, Hughes says he will see Miller in 7 days, insinuating he will be at the meme tournament. Management has to step in and tell him to heal and recover instead.

It’s business time

 

[PavelBure10]

I am a little nervous of the direction of this team. Everything is relied on Pettersson now and I am not confident that he can take the bull by the horns.

Demko looks like a sieve.

Boeser is a downer aswell.

Considering the hell we went through for 10 years with Benning, I am scared that we are headed back into that direction.

Tochett is starting to frustrate me. Juulsen should be taken away from him, he's like a 6 year old child with a soother. Let it go man. Bad goalie pull aswell.

I don't know what to add, I am deflated. Today was a day of disappointment.

 

[Zippgunn]

I remain irritated by the decision to start Demko.

Ridiculous decision IMHO. If it is to win games and make the playoffs it is failing utterly and only Lankinen's stellar play has kept the team in the playoff hunt. If it's to coddle him and get him back to his former glory, well, it isn't working. He is posting embarrassing numbers and has only won 4 games all year out of 14. If it's to pump up his value for a possible trade it has failed miserably; he has demonstrated conclusively that his rebound control is non existent and his basic skills have eroded severely. With his contract he is literally without value in a trade. If it's to send some kind of message to Lankinen (what would that be? That he is expendable?) it can only be convincing Lanky that his future might well be better spent elsewhere where he can prove himself to a team without an agenda that needs a good goalie. We need to move on from this guy!

There’s a Meme tourney?

yeah that’s exactly what i was reacting to

it’s hilarious how both guys reverted to the cliché that is the literal opposite of what this is, which is personal.

Can't wait to see USA vs Sweden

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

and ok we are all underwhelmed by the return, i know i am

but you have to admit, petey looked like a totally different player tonight

he has a ways to go obviously to get back to what he’s been, but i haven’t seen him this assured in his decisions in a calendar year. getting back in a real rhythm will come i suspect.

Still can't score, meh

 

[eviohh26]

Trade Boeser. Take the picks and assets from the Miller and Boeser trade and find a Dman

That and his play during Miller's LOA. It's night and day and it makes you wonder how it must have been affecting him. Now watch Miller go into beast mode for NYR for the same reason

 

[ExarKun80]

Next step is to fire Rick. Dude has lost the plot.
My biggest concern is Demko. Injuries have ruined him just like Cory but sooner.

Tonight’s Game

• Proud of the team and thought they played really well
• That’s a good hockey team over there
• Kept the Stars to a low amount of shots
• Special teams decided the game but for the most part the guys played hard

Miller Trade

• It’s a business; when you’re in the business long enough there will be things like that
• Thought the guys handled it well
• Miller was a big part of the team and is sure he’s emotional
• Losing a heart and soul guy
• For the couple of years he’s been there, they haven’t gone through long losing streaks because guys have done a good job of blocking out distractions
• Have been inconsistent but have to give guys credit because they’ve still been able to focus; hopefully now they can focus even more
• Need Pettersson to play and come up with some big moments for them
• Pettersson needs to get going
• Heard some very good things about Chytil; he’s excited to come to Vancouver; some on the Rangers said there’s a lot to work with
• Mancini is a big, young, defenceman that can play; there’s some stuff to work there
• Loved Miller and he played his ass off for Tocchet
• Some things happened behind the scenes

Like with Skeletor and Moleman, my patience and faith for Tocchet has eroded, particularly the late stretches when he kept playing Noah f***ing Juulsen.

You don’t say

So he isn’t injured? Just sulking?

 

[VintageBure]

We may as well trade boeser for a first now while he has value because something tells me his play is going to plummet without being on millers wing

 

[potatowejj]

Stop playing Juulsen and Demko right now. Given Lankinen a stretch of games and give Demko more work with Ian Clark.
