I mean, they are suffocating the shit out of us

 

[Donuts]

time to split up ep and hog

 

[TruGr1t]

Better than drawing Vegas in round one since I don’t have to hear “bUt ThE KniGhts” all summer. You lost to the stinking Predators bro.

 

[eviohh26]

Lol there's no way they aren't sick. We played like gang busters all season long, only to get neutered by the weakest western conference team?

Better hope so. They are playing like they are sick. Not even laying the body anymore.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

I see Allvin and Rutherford are in the house.....I hope they're taking lots of notes. This team has always been 'down' on overall team speed, and it's really coming home to bite so far in this series.

The bottom six needs another remake in the off-season.

our 4th line has been our bet line

It's sad, but our top players are not playing like stars

 

[TruKnyte]

I don’t know—game 7 SCF 2010-11 is still the worst for me.

At least they had a reason. It’s still the first round now

 

[Peen]

Most of the lines aren't really working. Just Miler's line really

Fourth line has been good.

I'm starting to get Willie vibes, albeit in a different way. Tocchet has his plan and he will stick to it no matter what.

I don’t know what’s changed. In the regular season, five bad minutes and he’d change every line.

Why he’s being stubborn with this setup is beyond me

 

[arttk]

I keep hearing this. What has he done exactly that has out coached him?

Mostly they are forcing us to make long passes through the neutral zone and forcing us to dump it.
Actually I am guessing it’s not even forcing us to dump it, we just dump it almost every time

 

[Red]

pettersson mikheyev hog ain't it

can we try something different

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I keep hearing this. What has he done exactly that has out coached him?

Made adjustments. Eliminated the Canucks ability to move the puck up the ice.
Meanwhile Tocchet is running the same schemes and same player combos.

 

[EpochLink]

LOAD THE TOP SIX
BB/JT/EP

f***ING DO IT

 

[VanillaCoke]

Honestly f tocchet for stapling mik to ep for like 65 games and down two in the playoffs

 

[Svencouver]

That Nashville top line is just f***ing on them. Having one good, elite line is outmatching being spread thin across 3 right now.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Preds full value here

They left Silovs out to dry

Disappointing effort.

 

[Canucker]

I was thinking…if we could just outwork them and get them to take a penalty we might be able to get back into this…but then i remembered that our PP is neutered. I guess we just try to get out of this game without getting anymore injuries.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I mean, they are suffocating the shit out of us

Watching this is suffocating the shit out of me.

 

[krutovsdonut]

i am not sure what is going on. they have stopped executing completely. the crowd feels it. something has happened.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Masterclass in how not to play hockey

 

[JT Milker]

time to split up ep and hog

Hoglander to the 4th line, EP to the dressing room.

 

[wonton15]

Everyone here on this board before the playoffs: we should probably trade for a top 6 scorer and not run with Suter/Mikheyev in the top 6

When the playoffs start and we can’t score a single goal:

[Flik]

Fresh hot pizzas up the centre of the ice now

 

[TruKnyte]

Fourth line has been good.



I don’t know what’s changed. In the regular season, five bad minutes and he’d change every line.

Why he’s being stubborn with this setup is beyond me

He can shove his center spine up his ass

 

[eviohh26]

Made adjustments. Eliminated the Canucks ability to move the puck up the ice.
Meanwhile Tocchet is running the same schemes and same player combos.

What adjustments are those? I agree that Tocchet isn't switching lines up but what exactly has the other coach done. Sounds like an excuse for just sucking. We suck this game.

 

[VanJack]

It's not the bottom 6

Then what is it?......I know people are wringing their hands about Pettersson, but they're getting nothing out of Blueger, Mikeyev, Lafferty, Di Guiseppe, Suter and even Hoglander.

I don't care how well they defend, you can't go anywhere when the offense from the bottom of the roster is completely AWOL.

 

[Regal]

Gotta come off it, yall are just not correct. It doesn't matter if he extends his foot or its kick like motion.
If he doesn't knee hinge, forward kick toe punt the puck in its a good goal.

All sideways, backways, stops, turns ,skate deflections are perfectly legal.

Where in the rules does it say anything about knee hinge? It’s “distinct kicking motion” and from the replay he propelled it forward by moving his foot in that direction. You can see it in the second replay on this.

Forsberg extends the lead | NHL.com

Why would his back leg move forward if he wasn’t propelling the puck with his foot. Ie. a kicking motion?
