What is a GM's job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazurus Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Lots of time to think about this game before they take on Boston. Edited February 20, 2020 by Lazurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 They played well. TT looked to fit in. Marky didn't Marky quite like normal but wasn't bad. We gotta fight for every inch. On to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got nothing to lose, no pressure and it shows. Still the Canucks handled them quite easily. They are in a "not getting the bounces" stage right now and a cpl bad shifts and a cpl bad bounces was all it took. Petey is going through another bout of low confidence right now. Hes trying to do too much and, consequently, he's not doing much at all. Putting TT on that line was a great move, as he showed his veteran experience last night. He and JT showed some good chemistry and carried that line. They give Petey a little wiggle room to find his game. I wouldn't mind seeing Mac on his line for a game or two. Tell him to Dave Semenko anything that moves. Every little chip shot Petie gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) JT Miller and Hughes are beauties!!! Toffoli had a solid first game... ....there are a lot of veteran passengers on this team. that's all I got...oh yeah, trading for Simmonds will be a huge MISTAKE! You've seen how a player past his prime performs in LE....it will be no different with Simmonds (he may have been good a few years ago when he was full of piss and vinegar, but those days have passed)....just trying to save JB's job...lol Edited February 20, 2020 by Pete M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo and Petey need to play with a little more fire, especially Bo. He would always drive the net, looked like a beast last season. Way too casual this season. Petey took a ton of abuse from Suter and Foligno. He got clipped by Dumba, cross checked in the face while driving the net, high sticked as well- all of which not called. He is likely banged up and frustrated. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tunderwood Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 I had to go double check the standings the way this forum is reacting. This whole place is toxic because of some loud mouths who know less than they care to pretend. It's embarassing. This team deserves a better fan interaction forum. Almost nobody here was predicting the Canucks to make the playoffs, and now if we aren't winning the division, you're up in arms... THAT is a huge statement on how well they have played and been coached thus far. But.. short term memory i suppose. The Canucks are 2nd in the division, down by 1 point, with games in hand on every team below us. A better ROW than every team below us. 1st in Goal differential. 4th in the conference by the way. Tied for 1st in Wins. 4th in the conference. 2nd best goals for in the conference. 5th best goals against in the conference. ............ Guess these last two really prop up that Markstrom is the only reason we win any games argument eh. Other than three powerhouse teams, one of which just won a stanley cup, the Canucks are one of the best teams in the conference. I don't really care about what you think you saw through your I HATE GREEN! FIRE EVERYONE! BENNING IS A JOKE! BLUGGH! Filter, because the fact is that this team is outperforming 90% of pre-season predictions. They are good again. Not great yet. AND they are outperforming the majority of the conference, nonetheless the division, in every team category that matters. So try to stop puking garbage, take a little breath, and enjoy the fact that in the first season that this new core has been given some tools, they are already a top 5 team in the conference. And if they don't happen to make it in this, their first season back to being a GOOD team, then hey, we have next season and the season after where they will have only grown into a better team, hopefully becoming one of those Powerhouse teams i just mentioned. Reel in the expectations and the childish angst. F'n Chill and help make this forum and this fanbase a little less embarassingly toxic. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo fan Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We lost - in a shoot out. And 80% of this forums contributors are calling for heads to roll You do know - even Boston and Washington lose games. This is not exclusive to just us. The team will figure it out - they are learning and they are improving. We are quite an upgrade over last years Canucks Have you already forgotten the years of Megna and Chaput? Count your blessing there is an entertaining game to watch 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 This team isn't going to go far if they can't keep the puck out of their net. They are almost 3 GAA lmao. Sorry; not happening this year boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlinkas wrister Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Boys played decently last night, a couple of unlucky bounces away from coming back and winning against another trap specialist team. Full credit to Motte "beast mode" too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
