AV is a horrible coach. Too much line juggling.

At one point in the game it was Higgins Kesler Weise? LOL dafuq.. really AV? :picard:

Raymond hasn't been the same without Schroeder

Ebbett needs to go. Contributes to nothing and makes the whole line useless.

You know what the REALLY sad part is?

That i don't even care about this loss. And I've been texting with my teammates and coworkers all evening, and they don't care either. The Canucks have taken some of the most passionate and vocal and caring fans they had and made us all indifferent. That's what years of underperformance, masked with one season of success will do to your fan base.

Next...

Maybe. Throw him in that group as well, but he deserves the least blame of all. As VoiceOfReason showed, this team has 13 goals in their last 19 playoff games. Anyone that puts goaltending at the top of their blame list should jump off the Port Mann with cinder blocks attached to their feet.

As mentioned by Shorthouse in his post-game comments, what have the Canucks done this season or last (post Boston win) to show us that they are capable of coming back and dominating ANY team in these playoffs?

They may play well on Friday and win, but as seen all season, they play one good game, then play poorly and lose to a team like Colorado.

This team needs changes. For a bunch of guys who talked about knowing "the window" was closing. Lu seemed to be the only one of the core who took his game up a notch.

Canucks need to win game 2 and even up the series or a 4 game sweep could very well happen.

To do that they must put in a full 60 minute effort

Sedin Sedin Burrows

Higgins Roy Kesler

Raymond Schroeder Hansen

Pinizotto Lapierre Weise

We lost because

-we only really played playoff hockey for a good 20 minutes

-Sedins and Kesler were ineffective (btw,if keslers injured,we're done)

It was nothing to do with goaltending or reffing,or Kassian and Ebbett.If you're top players are not you're top players in the playoffs, you lose...Give credit where it's due.Couture had a helluva game,and the Sharks played a consistent smart game....Hopefully we will reveal the Sharks for who they really are next game.

Why is anybody surprised by this performance??

It's just a continuation of the way they played in the playoffs last year, and the way they've played pretty well all season this year.

There is no magic elixir.

Summary: Our top players disappear...again, our defence can't clear the front of the net, and we get out-played on home ice in game 1 of the playoffs for two of three periods.

Hope they can turn it around but there's nothing that suggests to me that they can.
