The issue there in Vancouver is they are not together .Losing 5-1 with less then a minute left watching Buffalo trying to run it up and nobody had enough of it .Gloves should have been off or try to lay someone out with big hit but no they chose to fold it in and take it.That is Canucks issue.

Let's be realistic here, the roster isn't bad enough that they cannot win a game. Their coach isn't a moron, he has had good and bad teams in his career and done ok with what he had

There's clearly something going on behind closed doors and it lies solely on the players.
They’ve had a lead in 5 of the 6 games, the problem is they can’t play a lick of defence and aren’t helping each other. Arguably the second most balanced forward group in the Pacific behind Calgary, yet that means nothing if you’re not willing to play defence

I hope someone punches JT Miller in the face next practice, this guy has turned into Mark Messier 2.0 and fans are booing his trash ass already 6 games in.

No desire, no heart, no back checking, just cashing in checks for the next 7 years. Can’t generate offense, can’t defend, can’t do any f***ing thing right.

The coaching staff need to put him back on wing, him at centre is f***ing useless.

0-4-2 and booed in their home opener, they deserved it and it’ll continue until they play better. Shame on them for playing us for suckers, if you’re shit you’re shit.

They should’ve had 2-3 wins already but no, can’t hold a f***ing lead to save their lives.

JT Miller just gives off a vibe of being a jerk.

Miller cashed in the checks and stopped playing, you’d think with him having a new born he would play better but no.

Guy playing for checks now, Miller is gonna get his car suddenly torched on fire in a Vancouver alley if his plays continues to suck.

Hasn't there been rumors of this since last season? How haven't they fixed this yet? That's one thing the Sens did right after the Karlsson-Hoffman drama. Dorion shipped Hoffman the f*** outta there ASAP and dismantled the roster.
Pretty sure there was a lot more to this situation then the public new, and funny enough it's Karlssons career that went to absolute shit since leaving Ottawa tho. Complete shell of his former self

I get you’re saying “out of the Pacific”, but people who see that forward group and think it’s arguably good at all aren’t seeing things the way I see them. They have never earned anything to be called good. It’s the total opposite. People should have learned a long time ago that narrative was dogshit. Maybe, just maybe, it’s a small chance they will realize that their forwards are the worst in the league by far. No one should ever be looking at that roster and thinking oh man, that’s a really good forward group. They are what they have proven to be. A joke.

how is fighting when the game is 5-1 and out of reach the solution? Whatever it is that they should do, it should be done while the game is still winnable.

The last thing they need is to risk injury or suspension during meaningless time when the game is out of reach.

A bad forward core doesn’t get you a multi goal lead in almost every game. I will give you credit for still trying to push your agenda though ;)

A multi goal lead is only because teams don’t take them seriously. They know with a little pressure they will buckle. I am flabbergasted people are still defending the worst, softest, mentally weak forward core in NHL history.

Hopefully they can turn around things quickly because these things can spiral in to totally hopeless situation.

Brutal start for the season.

Their only good defenseman doesn’t actually play defense.

Seems incredibly obvious what their problem is.

How the hell are you supposed to defend a lead with those guys back there?
The forwards need to play defense. If they can’t do that, they need to keep the puck in the offensive zone. They can’t stop scoring. They need to score enough to win a game. Not just get a lead lol. Their goalie is allegedly great as their forwards. He should be able to preserve a lead on his own.
