GDT: Vancouver Canucks vs. Colorado Avalanche | Nov 17 | 6:00PM PST | SNET

Ive only been watching since the 4 minute mark of the 2nd period but the Canucks are not making unforced errors like they usually do.
Aside from Poolman's fumble on the clean pass they've played pretty solid in that they are not making errors usually seen in lower tier leagues.
Maybe that's why we're not losing? fkin Green... pay attention to WHAT's working and what isnt.

Colorado doing Jimbo a solid right now.

They know better than to tap the fish tank. It suits them in the long run to ensure everyone in Canucks management keeps their job.

I still hate the entire premise that this one hockey game has any bearing on the fate of management/coaching staff. It’s so f***ing dumb

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

This game is gonna buy Jim and Travis another 2 seasons.

 

[Diversification]

Every save every play has so much implication on the future of the franchise if this game is a win or a loss that can de-escalate or escalate the situation.

Regression to a mean level of play. It's quite possible that they win this game. But the same old habits will creep in.

The only urgency is if you think the season can be salvaged and a crisis will lead to a coaching change that could lead to a playoff berth. Otherwise, we know what this team is and it doesn't bode well for Benning et al. over the course of a season.

Patience.

Man Wheel of Time...never had the balls to even start reading that. Too many pages lol.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

If we win this game it wipes out the last 8 years.

Can’t wait for the post game Aqua tweet

Meaningful games in November

 

[Breakers]

There it is

We have spent more time trailing than any other team in the league

more time than the 2 in Coyotes.
Ugggh

The problem is that Green, Baumgartner, and King are going to do further damage to our young players if they're allowed on the premises.

that kadri shot barely missed

 

[Tables of Stats]

If you died and went to hell would you rather fire and brimstone or watching a Benning-Green Canucks team forever?

Jim and Green are rookies learning on the job. Give them time.

That's Demko's weird soft spot where he tends to block instead of react. Badgoalie has talked about that for ages now.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

7 shmill for EP40 is the absolute worst contract in the NHL right now.

 

[Zanon]

Good period. Avs have had like no sustained zone time.

 

[Pip]

Pathetic effort by Pearson there

that one was weird

it looked like he wasn’t even close to saving it. would have to rewind but it looked like the whole top quarter of the net was wide open lol

This is the real Canucks

 

[arttk]

Wow the Avs playing like ass

 

[tantalum]

Yes we did notice the post stayed down Cheech…that’s why it wasn’t an accident.

 

[mossey3535]

I mean the team often shows up for the 3rd period, game is pretty close when they show up for the 2nd period.

Issue is that they never show up for the 1st period, under both WD and TG.

Poor Motte having to play with two plugs in Chaisson and Lammikko.
