Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM7 | Canucks lose to Oilers | 2-3 (Garland & Hronek) | Season Over

[Vector]

What a f***ing great season. It sucks it ended this way but there’s no way anyone could consider this season anything but a success. A poor preseason had the highest expectations at competing for a wild card slot. Now the window of contention has been jammed open. The obligation from management is now to build off this. Add to this roster and make them a legitimate Stanley Cup threat. Players have to go into the offseason motivated to make up for this disappointing end. As fans, our expectations have been raised. We should expect a playoff team that can contend.

The off-season begins tomorrow. The NHL draft is only 6 weeks away. This the furthest any of us have had to wait for the off-season in a very long time.

Those crazy f***s almost did it again

 

[M2Beezy]

I didnt understand Tocchets coaching strategy to start this game

 

[4th line culture]

Pain

 

[Slapshot_11]

Pathetic to only start playing with 10 mins left

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Didn’t did play to win until the end and it cost them.

 

[Grumbler]

No Brock Boeser you ain;t coming back.

 

[NoShowWilly]

too little too late but thank you for showing up finally.

 

[EpochLink]

Too little, too late.

Don’t always come play like that, where was that effort in the first and second period.

Awful way to lose.

 

[TruGr1t]

Well deserved. Pull your head out of your ass for 10 mins of the game when the other team is taking it easy with a 3-goal lead. Good job. No credit for taking basically the game off and scrambling like a chicken with your head cut-off in the second half of the third.

Equally terrible efforts two games in a row. Credit to Silvos for showing up in front of that garbage.

cant win the SC by playing only 1 period in a game seven

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Just wanna say this was the most fun I've ever had watching the Canucks. And all you guys were a big part of that.

Our future is bright.

Let's go CANUCKS!

 

[HelloCookie]

Ah man, too little too late in this series. Cheers for the season HFCanucks

 

[mossey3535]

Ah well at least it wasn't completely embarrassing but we could have had this series. Lot of blame to go around. I hope the players and Tocchet learn from this. With some roster tweaks we can go far, this is the early opening of our window.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Well, the better team won. You can't play defence 75% of the time and expect to win. Good season! Very entertaining and the bar has been raised.

 

[Sedinery]

Miller was pathetic this game

Fact

Was a liability late in the game

 

[Kryten]

Enjoy your holidays guys, hope next year you can up your play to 10 minutes a game

 

[Quinning]

Heartbreaking end. But you can't play that game every night. It caught up with them in the end.

Oilers star players were the difference.

Fun season, boys. Shit end, but a fun season.

Draisaitl whining after winning Game 7

Dallas is gonna sweep you my guy

 

[potatowejj]

Pathetic couple of last games, tbh.

But good season overall. Get some players who will readily shoot the puck, please.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Gotta hand it to the Oilers, their forecheck and defense in the final four minutes was suffocating.

The Canucks had no quality chances even with the goaltender pulled.

 

[geebaan]

I’m so mad we waited so many times in these playoffs only to try with 5 minutes left, what a joke.

 

[dez]

Did Myers block that Miller shot?

 

[TruKnyte]

I didnt understand Tocchets coaching strategy to start this game

He plays to not to lose the game. Works well during the regular season but less so in do or die situations.
