[PGT] Canucks @ Flames


-Vintage Canuck-

Recommended Posts

Tonight is a good example of what happens when you fail to compete...the Sedins didn't bother showing up until the final five minutes of the game...as good as they were last night, they were equally bad tonight. They should not have even bothered making the trip to Calgary.

Travel to Calgary is only one hour by chartered air...90 minutes if they were in holding pattern due to bad weather; from NW Calgary to Saddledome is 30 to 40 minutes by chartered bus; they may have been delayed prior to departure so the entire travel may have been 5-6 hours, but most of that is waiting in a private airport lounge or on board the plane where they can rest (albeit, it isn't the comfort of a bed where they would be having their pre-game nap). Point is, fatigue isn't what caused tonight's lack of effort, especially three days of rest they had prior to the LA game.

There was no speed on the puck, failure to win puck battles, failure to close it out early in the game when we had energy...I honestly thought that we were ready to go on a roll after last nights game. What a disappointment...it looks like we have a .500 club going forward...this team is looking more and more like a group of pretenders than contenders.

Lastly, a career AHL/ECHLer outplayed Lu tonight...shameful.

Couple of #canucks have confirmed that's all AV said. Shouldn't have been whistled for a bench minor for that. Soft call.

More AV: "There's no way we should lose this game on a call like that." #Canucks

When are people going to actually blame the players and the coaches for a loss that shouldn't have happened instead of refs and travel? This is happening practically every game now and has been for the better part of a year.

Seriously, suck it up Canucks.......if you are this tired 20 games in you may as well phone it in the rest of the way and go for a high draft pick.

Time to make a move Gillis........whatever it takes to inject some heart. Firing AV and company would be a great place to start.
