Will we get 20 shots this game?

 

[Canucks LB]

WIN
THE
THIRD

Simple

 

[Rotang]

Silver lining after that shit show is that we are only down a goal. With the way this series has gone you never know what to expect from period to period.

 

[Flik]

Aight whatever, just move on. I want to see us push back in the third and just give an effort. Double shift the f***ing Miller line. Triple shift, whatever.

what i want to see in the third, maybe get a second or third shot on goal

 

[SiZ]

If he was getting fair criticism, it would be fine, but the fanbase has reached a delusional level of hate for him. He had 25 points in his last 33 games of the season while playing with bottom 6 linemates. I doubt you can name another playmaking forward who plays without an offensive player on his line 5v5. It's unprecedented, and he is being set up for failure and it has likely killed his confidence.

He's a -5 in the playoffs so far

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Jesus, the refs and the linesmen are god damn terrible in this game.

At any rate - one goal game heading into the third. Time to dig deep and WIN DA TURD boys. Just get the puck to the f***ing net and crash.

 

[Svencouver]

Part of this goes back to the discussion that was had around the Captaincy. Where Miller was out because when he's frustrated, he shows it by "trying to hard" and just doing total Bozo things.

Pettersson was out because when he's frustrated...he sulks. And it doesn't show any real outward signs that he's actually even "trying". He just looks like a zombie right now. The body language is terrible. You can visibly see the confidence is shot and he's retreating into doing very little to avoid messing up.


Which is how we ended up with Hughes, pretty much by default.

I think even McDavid struggles with this and it's one of the real, but underappreciated, reasons why guys like Crosby are truly exceptional.

Man I have to only imagine how this forum treated the Sedins back in the day lol

Doesn’t show emotion, doesn’t show effort, soft pillows, if only he would try like Kesler, that good American.

You want to guess how Nazzy was treated?

 

[helloconga]

petey looks scared , nervous , lost , no confidence, passes to nobody , never shoots the puck. and we as canucks fans laughed at the willy nylander contract when it was signed.

 

[Zippgunn]

That was the longest 1.5 seconds in NHL history. Jesus...

Our Latvians are playing great. Everybody else not so much...

 

[David71]

tocheet needs to give petey an earful. awful performance.

 

[eviohh26]

Well we are known to have shitty 2nd periods and big 3rd. Could be worse.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Lol the Sedins were miles ahead of Pettersson.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Man I have to only imagine how this forum treated the Sedins back in the day lol

Before all the super old posts got lost in the OG migration it was fun to go back and read lmao.

 

[Canucker]

This forum is vicious to anyone who underperforms at any given moment.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Nashville doesn't even look good. We can win this.

 

[AzNightmare]

lmao, did he come back

C'mon tocchet: pay attention. The coach leaving the bench with time on the clock is not a good look.

 

[mathonwy]

Lotto line.

Give Miller a break from Suter.

Have some f***ing mercy.

 

[Canucks LB]

Silver lining after that shit show is that we are only down a goal. With the way this series has gone you never know what to expect from period to period.

Yup, this game is completely winnable, if we show up in the third, everything can change quickly.

Nobody will care about ep40 struggling so far if he comes up with a couple of huge goals here

 

[kanucks25]

Yes, but he stil f***ed up and caused the entire situation. Don't blame Petey. Am I saying never blame Petey? Of course not.

That's why most of these comments are emotional and not really rooted in what's happening. Petey is trying. Is he f***ing up a lot? Sure. Miller was also a petulant crybaby for a lot of one season.

It's not like we're getting out of this contract. I think he'll figure it out.

When you're pretty much single-handedly carrying the offense for the team, sometimes you can live with making a mistake trying to make a play.

All the best players mess up here and there trying to make something happen but you live with it because usually, they'll make something happen. I don't love some of Miller's passes but it is what it is.

Pettersson, on the other hand, has made few things happen in 11 periods thus far and has been a liability for a lot of it.

You're not making a sensible comparison.

And it's really hard to argue he's "trying" when he very clearly did not bust his ass on that back-check.

 

[wonton15]

I'd like to get some more size added to this roster next season. This feels like 2011 Bruins all over again. Hughes is getting abused out there.

Management completely neglected this at the deadline but I think they’ll learn. A cheap acquisition like Maroon or Trenin would’ve done wonders. Instead we have to watch Lafferty do nothing and PDG doing just ok as a plugger.

 

[arttk]

This forum is vicious to anyone who underperforms at any given moment.

Not if you are a red blooded Canadian! Just skate around and the fans will defend to death

 

[credulous]

Tocchet is killing me here…he really needs to learn the definition of insanity.

he talks a good game but he has too many flaws and blindspots to be a good coach imo

he'll win the adams this year but it'll be because the team shot at like 40% above league average for three months not because he did a good job

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Doesn’t show emotion, doesn’t show effort, soft pillows, if only he would try like Kesler, that good American.

You want to guess how Nazzy was treated?

Naslund deserved it. He was an awful captain. So overrated... sorry. Nice guy but just a total nonchalance I couldn't stand.
