  1. Prime Demko wouldn't have a 900 save% with this team this year. They're absolutely leaving goaltenders out to dry every single night.
  2. Canucks just need to focus on details like they did for the second half of last game and they can expect a victory. That is a lot to ask of this team. Two games in a row? Who knows!
  3. We have the same amount of blocked shots as Boston, who is in the offensive zone a hell of a lot more than we are. That's pathetic.
  4. That is up there for most pathetic things I've heard about a hockey team. In 60 minutes having been dominated for 40 minutes how does not 1 forward have a block? Wow.
  5. The blocked shots is more concerning to me. Nobody on this team cares enough to step in the lane. There's like 3 guys willing to block shots this year.
  6. This year would be the perfect year to give Rathbone NHL experience but we are just gonna let him rot in the AHL until his contract is up and then lose him for free most likely. Hoping the next coach proves me wrong.
  7. I wanna say it was rumoured 2 years ago when Boeser first came back from his back injury and didn't look right. I remember hearing it too. Wanna say it was around then.
  8. Yeah we disagree sometimes but at the end of the day it's a discussion forum! Cheers bud!
  9. You think playing Stillman, consistently messing with effective lines, keeping horrific defensive pairs together all season long, benching hardworking players and not holding laziness accountable is getting the best out of this team? He's not progressing any prospects, he's overplaying lazy players and giving the worst players on the team consistent ice time. That's horrific coaching. Nice guy though and love his interviews. But he's like one notch above Green, which is horrible this year. He's not even close to the coach he was last year (and that might be due to management but at some point have some damn pride in your job and stand up for yourself).
  10. Nobody wants it except management. He's clearly their guy. No way in hell would I want it. I don't even want him as an assistant.
  11. It's a horrible giveaway but just because your teammate gives it away doesn't mean you can stop playing hockey. He literally spun off a defender towards Boeser who could have easily just poked the puck (not even a quick pivot) and continued his tug boat turn and was able to settle and snipe it bar down. Boeser had a full second (that's a lot of time) to react and do something about it and chose not to. That's lazy af. That's peak Ovechkin put the controller down lazy.
  12. Next season by the looks of it. They clearly aren't getting rid of Boudreau because he's been awful and they haven't yet.
  13. Boeser literally pylon'd. He should he to blame. No way that should have been a shot on net.
  14. Nobody gonna mention it but nice pass from JT. Edit nvm hahaha everybody mentioning it!
  15. Should have been an automatic goal for a sniper. He had an awful game against Canada. Looked honestly as if he's regressed from last year.
  16. I say they have about a snowball's chance in hell. Pettersson is absolutely vital. We need more guys similar to that. 100% effort every game. I think Quinn Hughes is also fine. Horvat and Miller aren't consistent enough in their efforts and don't focus on enough details to take us to a cup. Can they? Sure. But the best teams in the league get that buy-in nearly every night. Demko I need more sample size from. Probably good enough though. He's streaky which is my one criticism about him. But with that said, all of these players have a different level they could take it to, however getting all of them to hit it at the exact same time would earn them miracle run status. I personally think we need to switch out Bo and Miller with two players that may not be as offensive but are absolute engines that can drive play. If we did that then I think we'd become contenders. If we can find two Petey-lite's, we'd be contending for a while.
