Post-Game Talk: GM 65 | Canucks def. Flames | 4-3 (SO) (Suter, DeBrusk, EP40 - Garland SO winner) | Don’t Touch Our Captain!

[eviohh26]

It has to be something big because nobody just quits in a contract year. There's so much money at stake. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but whatever happened to this team was a foundation-wrecking event.

Yea It's kinda weird seeing such a lack luster effort in a contract year.

 

[DimitriL07]

These guys have 0 pride. Boeser and EP have less then 0

 

[thecupismine]

If this is the 09 team then that means we’re heading in the right direction right?

Things are never as good/bad as they seem.

Literally every media outlet was exploding at the Canucks after that year to rebuild, saying they had zero shot at winning the division or ever competing with that group of players after they collapsed down the stretch.

I remember reading The Hockey News magazine, where Adam Proteau said every team in the Pacific could win the division EXCEPT Vancouver going into the 08/09 year.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

feels like i’m watching travis green hockey

there’s no system, guys just skate it into three defenders waiting for them, zero puck support from teammates, no semblance of passing options. the coaching staff making the game hard, not easy, for the players.

 

[DiggerDan]

I want Joshua to deck that filthy lil puke.

Exactly. Joshua. Someone. Anyone. This is worse than their terrible system - they need to show some f***ing guts.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Once again, the other teams top players own us because we have none.

Quinn Hughes looks like Buddy Holly out there.

Just him and crickets.

 

[Coffee]

Some of you guys have to be laughing your asses off

 

[Slapshot_11]

Who tf cares about a second round pick. If you want Hughes to be on this team long term you can’t voluntarily drop out of a playoff race.

You're getting more than a 2nd for boeser with retention, suter, forbort etc bud

You can then use those assets in another deal to get some help on forward

If you want hughes to be on this team long term you don't ice the shit thats being iced right now

They're going to let their on ice play voluntarily drop em out instead.

Games like this is where Myers is missed. He wouldve dummied some of these hacks.

I used to have a THN subscription. I believe the quote to begin the year we were picked to finish 12-13 in the West and quote "Thank God/Buddha for Sedins and Luongo".

Turns out hockey journalists know about as much as I do about hockey.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Bench boeser. He is softer than baby shit and has lost every puck battle.

Dude has cost himself so much money on his next contract with his floating and unwillingness to go to the tough areas.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

For a game that feels like it could define our season, our team faded hard in the second. Hopefully we bring everything we’ve got in the third.

Win da turd, boys.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

That's my secret, cap.

I always am.

 

[Coffee]

First time seeing who Buddy Holly is, he's charming!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

You know what...Good on Calgary. I want them to make it in cause they can at least maybe steal a series.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’d go the other way. Play them through the shit. Play him, Petey and DeBrusk for half the damn third. We need a goal, ride our best players until they play their way out of this funk.

I think our season has been defined VERY well already.

 

[VanJack]

Game, set and match. Canucks don't have a third period comeback this season.

Playoff-bound teams don't give up two on zero breakaways while on the PP. The epitaph on this Canucks season: 'Simply not good enough'.

They were getting trash offers for Boeser (because he’s not very good) and the only slightly better offer came 30 minutes before the deadline. They weren’t going to be able to flip that pick for any help up front.

 

[Hansen]

Start the third with a two man beat down on Zary and Lomberg

 

[Bures Elbow]

We’re not good enough. No offense, the top 6 is so poor.

Also, how are Calgary so fearlessly going after Hughes?!

Where’s standing up for our captain? Calgary is far too comfortable taking shots at him.

Team is flawed.

 

[Quinning]

It has to be something big because nobody just quits in a contract year. There's so much money at stake. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but whatever happened to this team was a foundation-wrecking event.

I think Miller is just a biblically awful teammate and it wore them down to nothing over the last 6 years of dealing with his bullshit.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I’d go the other way. Play them through the shit. Play him, Petey and DeBrusk for half the damn third. We need a goal, ride our best players until they play their way out of this funk.

That's the whole point of the Miller trade with EP right?

"HERE'S YOUR MOMENT, GO GET IT OR WHO THE f*** ARE YOU?"

 

[PavelBure10]

First time I fully agreed with Gadzic. Hughes is untouchable and no one should be able to touch him. Flames are targeting him and it's BS. Do something to protect him.
