If Tochet wants to test the youth for next year, why is he overlaying the stars...? Looks like he cares more about his CV, than the team's future.

Some stronger, bigger forwards with some tenacity are needed. They are both redundant. This team needs to be feared to play against. At times, I feel like teams just don't fear our lineup. I would love there to be a tougher element added throughout the lineup.
Understatement: "at times". More like" for more than a decade".

I agree. He won’t say a word. He’s all class. That won’t stop other people however from commenting. I expect lots of pushback on this.
The more you write about it, the more you make it a "thing".

Despite the recent team gel. I'm still hoping the Nucks don't climb any further up the standings. I already look forward to next year. Pretty much don't care about the remaining games. But still watch...if that makes any sense.

It’s pretty funny that after a Canucks lost, everyone on CDC including the tanknation agrees that the Canucks are playing some good hockey.
If only they could bottle it up for October....

Myers, the tank commander, was n full form...

I think that’s a very narrow minded point of view. Players want to win. Players want to earn spots for next season. People want to play for pride. Fans want a reason to cheer. Look at a guy like Wolanin. 3 weeks ago he probably had no shot at an NHL contract next year. He’s been awesome since his call up and maybe be proving he belongs. Briesbois just earned an extension and is proving his worth. Kravtsov has been really solid since the trade and probably has a strong chance at being on the team next year if he keeps it up. We’re building a team for next year with every game, whether it seems like it or not. Bedard was a nice pipe dream but was never going to be realistic. Having a losing culture and wanting a losing culture are very different. Team tank fans want a losing culture. Most of this season has felt like a losing culture. The past 10ish games have been the most excited I’ve been about this team and the future in a year. Even if we aren’t making the playoffs this year, this is extremely meaningful hockey.
About as meaningful as your ability to post independently.

Is it just me or is Boeser playing well these last few game?
I Agree but he can still hit more.

I can't get over the Mathews back check on Petty's shorty. Good job nucks now back to the tank

This tank is on roids. Keep Demko away STP.

If only Demko could stay on IR a little longer. This team is making strides toward a tope 3 pick and wouldn't that be sweet for 24/25.

Losing sucks and doesn’t feel good. We still want to see the team do well. Don’t join team tank. You’re too good a fan to sink that low! Don’t let them trick you into it. Bettman will never let us get Bedard. It’s not worth cheering for losses.
Top 5 is worth it this year

These games have been fun lately. I have no concerns about wins, just want to see player progress. Need to make room for more farm players and need additional size gor for the balance.
GCG!

That was a good game. the Nucks played well against a superior team and would have won but for goaltending. And we are closer to a top 5. Keep the tank rolling boys.

Gino was so humble and caring off the ice. I asked him one day, what brings you to Vancouver Island? He was on the ferry to Victoria. He indicated he was going to a First Nation community to give a motivational speech to the kids. Can't remember exactly but I think it was Esquimalt First Nation. Nice guy. RIP

I see the tank is getting stronger. But give the home crowd some toughness and wins. Enough with the skating away from sucker punches. Tanking should not mean being soft.

Another game where special teams let the team down.
PK was lousy and PP was 1 for 5.
Still there was decent effort in the third period... but too little too late.
Can expect a goalie with the quality of Bobrovsky is going to give up a two goal lead without a fight.
This roadtrip was the one the Canucks HAD to win to be assured of a playoff berth... at this point I don't think much of their chances.
Yeah, they might put on a season ending push, but it probably won't be enough.
Time for management to line up the trades for deadline. (not Horvat)
Play-offs. Are you still mentioning play-offs?

I am loving these entertaining games. The team has a ways to go but I remain bullish for the next few years. A top 5 pick should be a boost for year 3. GCG

I understand what you're saying, I'm just disagreeing with you. There's nothing more important than the two points, that's why they play the games and every player knows that. I just watched the movie "Ice Guardians" and to a man, every player interviewed said the toughest thing for them to learn, after the instigator rule was put in, is when to fight and when not to fight because you never, ever put your team down a man and risk losing the two points. There is nothing more important than the W.
Perhaps when you are vying for a play-off berth. Even then the risk is great that the players become solo. The Nucks don't need the points, they need a new, tougher, identity.

You and I look at it as the 2 points doesn’t matter, but I guarantee you that for every player on that team, they want to win more than anything else. And that’s how it should be. These are professionals being paid to play a sport, and the objective is to win.
Retaliation of any substance (shoving him back, etc) would likely result in a roughing penalty
In this situation it should be obvious, you take a chance on a one sided penalty. You have cameras and media to back you up along with your team mates.

Yes, thanks Alf. Someone gets it!
Some on CDC think good hockey players don't do that any more and the good players only focus is on the 2 points. I wonder if they are Social Media scrubs?

You may do this but I don't think a professional hockey player does. They haven't given up yet nor should they. The players are not looking at it like that at all and they would be poor, poor hockey players if they did.
Playing the game the right way is the proper thing to do. In your opinion we should just go Brawl Street Bullies?
If you think establishing a team toughness identity is synonymous with how Philly once was, you are mistaken. Enough with the turning the other cheek and I don't think they would become poor hockey players. It's all about doing the right thing at the right time for the right reasons. It's not game 7 we are talking about...

Too much change and we risk another slow start/chemistry gap. My prediction is Dries, and Studnika, Burroughs. I think we are stuck with BB and Garland for a bit.
