Post-Game Talk: Heritage Classic: Canucks lose 4-2 to the Senators - Blame The Closed Roof

[Hansen]

Terrible. Be ashamed.

Yeah the second one was really brutal, but thats what I was trying to get at.

 

[NuxFan09]

I don't buy it. Losing in the final didn't seem to break Crosby or Malkin and the Pens.

I think it was the way in which the Canucks lost in the final. It was downright shameful in every sense of the word, the way they only scored 8 goals in 7 games, the way they completely folded and succumbed to the Bruins' physicality like cowards, and the way they ultimately lost the all important game 7 4-0. It was quite possibly the worst SCF ever and definitely one of the worst Game 7's.

Easy to see how the SCF loss destroyed this organization.

Daniel mashed his knee and then it swelled up. He's gone for weeks.

Gilman's remarks were revealing. I wonder what he'd say, now?

Tortorella has to be an angry man with his team. Coach anger is one possible explanation of the starter, today. Pulling the goalie so early is another symptom. He can't shake up this team, Gillis needs to do it. Sedin on LTR is possibly useful, in a gruesome way.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

luongo declining to interview and seems pretty mad, and rightfully so

 

[thepuckmonster]

I'm not blaming Luongo for anything this season. I have to preface this statement with it first so people don't come after me with pitchforks.

I think it will be good to get rid of him. I think that because he was what this team was built around, was captain, all the drama llama surrounding the whole situation. He wears a lot of (probably undeserved) blame for the Boston loss but that's how it is. The Twitter stuff is funny, but it also can be damaging.

He's technically a core member and he's been around forever. Shedding the whole cluster**** of that situation might be cleansing in a weird way for the team. I suppose Gillis thought he was accomplishing that with trading Schneider but then Lack became really good really fast and we're just back at square one.

 

[me2]

I'd be open to move Gillis to president and bringing in a fresh face as GM who doesn't give a **** about NTCs or know the players on this team and care about them from past dealings. It's time to sell hard and clean out torts, old baggage, issues, drama llama and losing hangovers. Aim for some 2014/2015 picks, fresh faces, fresh ideas, young guys with some speed.

trevorlinden4Gm it worked for Colorado

 

[Bad News Benning]

Ho Sang, couldn't hurt to have more dynamic wingers.

Top 10 isn't a realistic spot for this team to be drafting though. More like 8 to 18, considering there's still a small chance of the playoffs. You can't really "go for a top 10 pick" when you have a shot at the playoffs. Although it's not like the Canucks play is convincing of that fact.

without daniel and if Kes is dealt im guessing the rest of the players pack it in. its like team canada losing in the semi finals or any championship. team will get deflated and what exactly do they have to play for??? wouldnt surprise me to see the bottom completely fall out if Kesler is dealt.

lets do it boys

...what does that even mean? Have you been reading these boards, reading the papers or just observing the general buzz of Vancouver? I don't think there is many people that put much stock in this Canucks team right now.

He doesn't get to sound condescending and self righteous by actually paying attention to whats going on around him. You can almost see how wonderful he thinks he is. "I'm the only one who knew"

 

[vanuck]

Yup me too, which is why it doesn't bother me so much since I've been expecting this.

For a guy who claims to not be bothered by it, you've been telling people an awful lot about it. I'm surprised you aren't an Oilers fan already.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

I sat through the Keenan and Messier years willingly, I'll sit through this too.

This sums it up:

Alan O'Sullivan ‏@rollingpucks 36m
Canucks make Finals, lose in 7, fizzle, hire hardass coach from NY, dismantle core. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Orca Smash]

What did Gilman say?

I like gilman but he said this year was an anomaly.

I mean you could make a case, but we have been making that case since 2011. Stanely cup hangover, lockout, anomaly. At some point the on ice chemistry needs to change.

 

[YouppiKiYay]

This means they HAVE to trade Kesler at the deadline, doesn't it?

 

[Win One Before I Die]

Ill be the first and say Luongo would have won that game. Lack let in 2 **** goals. Luongo ONLY lets in 1.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

I ain't even mad to be honest. Just hope that people can finally see what this team actually is.

O mighty prophet, how shall we ever repay you

 

[quat]

I know right? Will the fans EVER turn on Booth??

lol well ... you got me there.

 

[Intoewsables]

Any word on Daniel Sedin's condition?

 

[canuck4life16]

For a guy who claims to not be bothered by it, you've been telling people an awful lot about it. I'm surprised you aren't an Oilers fan already.

it is a disgrace to see someone want to see the team fail hard......disgusted

 

[PG Canuck]

If Gillis doesn't start the rebuild at this upcoming deadline, he's lost me.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

This means they HAVE to trade Kesler at the deadline, doesn't it?

Maybe not. It depends.

 

[deadinthewater]

O mighty prophet, how shall we ever repay you

 

[canucksfan]

Wonder what Torts will say

I don't know of you can say its an anomaly... Hasn't this been the norm for the last few seasons?
