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

[EpochLink]

No one expected us to be here, gotta hand it to the coaching staff and players.

Now Alvin and Jim will do work on this roster.

Now I await for my Raiders season to start.

 

[Ace of Hades]

It was a great run guys. Proud of this team, they exceeded expectations all year long and were one away from the WCF without our best goalie and goal scorer.

Hope Boeser is healthy and recovers from the blood clot spotted. Also hope for some changes including that dreadful power play needing an overhaul (which cost us the series)

See you all next season. It was fun.

Rooting for the Stars to sweep these diving clowns.

 

[Kryten]

I have very little confidence in Pettersson

He did step it up for game 5, the 1st of 6, and tonight. Ive been on the hate train for 5 months now as well. Hopefully he hires Mackinnon or Roberts this offseason

 

[M2Beezy]

Love toch but the second that far too cautious lineup was put together you knew we were losing. Tentative and content to sit back.

Yeah i kinda agree. In game 6 there was a period where we couldnt get the puck with control in their zone, the one time we did it was Podkolzin who skated it in and we got control. He was the only one who saw it, and did it. Disappointed for that reason alone he didnt play game 7 while that awful player Lafferty played and destroyed so many opportunities. Im pretty bitter right now so maybe i should cool it but not a fan at all of Lafferty being played in that game. Didnt bring shit. At least Mikheyev had some good reads and plays, not sure who else would have come in if not him after Brock Boeser went down

 

[Bleach Clean]

Is this the start of Tocchets villian arc, lot of Tocc criticism, he can only coach what he’s given.

No. You can't coach scared. He's allowed the team to turtle far too often and this is the result. They have to change the system such that offense is an expectation, not an occasional dalliance.

 

[krutovsdonut]

oof

 

[Leif Rohlin]

The good news is our coaching staff has 4 months to come up with a way of gaining the offensive zone.

 

[Lawzy]

Gutsy last 10 minutes but a real disappointing end to the season. Back to back no shows. No killer instinct.

 

[PG Canuck]

Wait until the last 5 minutes to give a f***. Not a good strategy

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Putting aside the last two games, this has been the first full season I've enjoyed from game one to tonight. It's been fantastic finally getting to enjoy watching this team again, being apart of it with y'all.

We weren't supposed to be here, we aren't supposed to win and we somehow got to game 7 without Demko, and Boeser tonight. Can't help but be proud of the season as a whole.

 

[bbud]

Not going to pat them on the back for the last 8 minutes because the huge issue is the first 52

How about pat on back for winning division getting through a round and taking shitcoils 7 ffs hate loss but also look at one hell of a season

 

[cc]

So many bad coaching decisions when it mattered. The way the lineups were set up gave me the impression that tocchet didn't know what he was doing

 

[canuckking1]

Sucks knowing Demko probably shuts the door on one of the 3 1 goal losses

 

[LadyJet26]

Toc is the pp coach, more like get a dedicated pp coach.
Pk is fine and got better.

Laf, Mik can f*** off.
Prioritize Lindy, get Guentzel, Tanev and then tell the boys they have one week off and get back to training.

Guenzel is most likely going back to Pittsburgh

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

That 3-0 was killer. We force overtime otherwise and skinner probably shits his pants.

 

[Gilmour1996]

Thought I saw a "missed penalty call" against Oilers when the score was 3-2. Was it my imagination or did the refs not want to see a Vancouver PP to finish the game?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Get EP a psychiatrist.

Get Hughes a trainer.

Get Mik a new team.

Get well Brock.

 

[arttk]

I have very little confidence in Pettersson

He was the only one creating chances along with Garland tonight.
Wouldn’t be saying the same thing if PDG and Mik were not the ones getting the breakaway passes

 

[Dream Big]

On that 2nd Edmonton goal did Heyman bump Canuck goalie in the crease? They used to call that back.

 

[SillyRabbit]

So here's the thing.

The second 41 games of the season and the playoffs were what this team "truly" is.

And that's much improved from last season.

But... after seeing what the team was capable of in the first 2-3 months of the season.

It's disappointing because we got a taste of what the team could look like when playing to its full potential.

 

[JiffyPB]

Game 7 and we put in the 2 ex leafs to give their best effort

 

[Flik]

No. You can't coach scared. He's allowed the team to turtle far too often and this is the result. They have to change the system such that offense is an expectation, not an occasional dalliance.

Just like AV evolved, I fully expect (we all should) Tocchet to grow and improve as well.

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

The good news is our coaching staff has 4 months to come up with a way of gaining the offensive zone.

They can practice the 5 on 3 and see if they can hit the net.

 

[DS7]

Great season. Let's do it next year with Brock and Demko.

 

[Sedinery]

“show what I have” ???? skinner reslly?
