GDT: [GM73] Canucks vs Stars | Thur. Mar 28th, 7:00pm | SNP | Big Game

[PavelBure10]

Josi with 3 assists tonight. Watch the Norris slowly leave Hughes hands while the Canucks continue to faulter.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Garland showed up. Pettersson has been bad the past few games.

Disagree his line was very good tonight. They did everything but score.

 

[Lawzy]

On the one hand, absolutely abysmal reffing. On the other hand, it's not like we'd score on those PPs.

 

[Canucks LB]

Rick Tocchet just has no answers.

Special teams has sucked and we keep trotting out the same crappy shit.

Now we are seriously lacking any offense down the stretch as well and our lines are struggling with a lack of chemistry.

It's good to make adjustments but you need to be able to find a lineup that could semi work and allow the lines to generate chemistry.

Everybody on this planet knew we needed another top six forward at the deadline, it was a necessity if we wanted to make a run for real.

Of course, anything can happen, we can catch fire, and that’s what I’m hoping for, but we have a significant depth problem.

I’m just hopeful everybody is healthy at the start

 

[LordBacon]

Just one of those games where nothing goes for you.
Silver lining here is that our 5 on 5 play has looked very decent.

 

[Vector]

I’m going to go play Horizon Forbidden West to calm down.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Starting a game with your 2nd line Bains Miller Lafferty is a problem.

I don't understand Tocchet's love affair with Lafferty. He doesn't f***ing work in the top six. Stop putting him there.

 

[CanadianPirate]

His line and Garland are the only forwards that showed up offensively.

Yeah I completely disagree with the take he was invisible. He's had multiple chances and saved a goal in the first period.

 

[ManVanFan]

Good game but someone has to puck the grade A chances into the net.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

At this rate, team will be done after round 1.

 

[Orca Smash]

A huge issue and i keep beating this drum is tocchets offense, every play you see two players screen the goalie, its so easy to defend, nobody is in prime shooting position and he wont adjust it.

 

[quat]

When the refs allow the other teams stats to board players unpenalized it’s not a surprise

With this league, you're bound to see shit reffing whether it's against the Canucks or the Stars, but the fact is the Canucks don't have a PP. They suck and it's on them. Or the coaching. I don't know. But if they don't fix that issue, they're out in the first round

 

[Jay26]

I dont think that we, as a team that has had lines in a blender for half the season, are really going to contend with teams with 2-3 lines that have perfect chemistry. The Canucks are just not a team that has everything "figured out" yet.

Yeah this seems sensible. I think we'll get there but it's not going to happen yet. They need to get stronger and more battle hardened so their skill can still be a factor in these kinds of games.

 

[LordBacon]

Yeah nothings going right this game.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I’m going to go play Horizon Forbidden West to calm down.

I've got Cyberpunk lined up.

 

[aquaweenie]

Not like the Canucks would’ve scored on the powerplay anyway

Ya other teams star players should just be able to board us because our pp sux good opinion

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Doom and gloom here so quickly after a loss.

 

[TruKnyte]

Also this forum design on mobile is horrible

 

[VanJack]

What we're seeing unfortunately is the likely recipe for an early exit from the playoffs for the Canucks....A 3-21 power play on a season-high nine-game homestand will do it every time.

Dallas is 2-4 and Canucks 0-5.....that's all she wrote. It is just too hard to score 5 on 5 goals in the playoffs. Without a PP, you're as good as gone.

 

[AzNightmare]

Pettersson really needs to do more. Top player isn't being the difference maker.

 

[DFAC]

Our PP and special teams are going to kill us in the playoffs.

Team desperately needed to add a top 6 forward at the deadline and didn't. Thats on Alvin

 

[bbud]

Nhl makes sure their favorite wins

 

[Nomobo]

I thought we played well and deserved better.
