chrisbanks Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 ive seen great teams get blown out by terrible teams because they figure they can take the night off.... tonight was not the case .. tonight was 2 bad teams playing a tight one.

Dragonfruits Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I think your going a little overboard now in protecting the Canucks. I think you need to be more realistic now, we just lost to the 4th worst team in the leauge, although they are playing pretty well.... we just lost 5 straight games, the previous 4 games were all to divisional rivals. If that's not concerning to you I don't know what is. In other words, we just lost 4 huge games, the last 2 games were teams that are outside the playoffs, and we couldn't beat them. Tonight was our worst game out of the 5 straight loss, you think we come into this game crashing skating and banging hard and playing with their lives on their line, but tonight they were just quite terrible. again i am giving basic stats on how the Canucks could be tied with Chicago in 4 games by them and 3 games by the Canucks yes the Canucks are playing bad right now but a lot of you are acting like they are out of the playoffs with no way to make the playoffs i am being perfectly realistic in terms of what could happen as opposed to fans that claim they won't make the playoffs after 23 games played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 maybe the Canucks are just trying to test the "New" John Tortorella, see if they can make him snap. I hear Booth put down a grand to see if he could do it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I agree with Torts 100%, We sucked tonight almost as if we were going easy on them. Farhan Lalji ‏@FarhanLaljiTSN6m Torts post-game: "We sucked... Easily our worst game of the year... We didn't deserve a point." Blamed a "lack of respect" for Fla #Canucks Seen this movie before!! Speaks to the character of the team and why some core pieces need to be moved. Perhaps Torts is starting to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raph Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Luongo played well and Hansen had a beauty. Leave it to your grinder to be the best player? wat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 From Gilman's comments, doesn't really seem like Canucks are going for it this year... which is kind of disappointing as we're wasting another year in our aging core. hmm could it be we are waiting for the cap to go up next year and to jettison a 4 million dollar anchor maybe just maybe.

Heretic Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't care if you were there opening day. What you said was ridiculously stupid. Just by looking at the highlighted parts of the quote, you can see that you are actually 12 years old at heart. Brilliant! NOT! Now go away before I taunt you a second time....

Lui's Knob Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This season reminds me if 95-96 and 2007-2008. Years that they just underwhelmed and relied on a teams past success and little changes when it was necessary. Another year will go by and well still be looking for offense, how to get rid of bulky contracts and whether booth should of had been bought out. An gillis will attempt to sign cheap projects and draft useless college players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 oh so there's double standards on assumptions, cool they're both hypotheticals you dumbass lol, you really need to put your Canuck pom poms if you think we're even on the same planet as chicago right now maybe reread the board rules on flaming and tone it down less you want the mods to get at you.

Moonshinefe Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wow and I was expecting the Canucks to come out and dominate against a bottom feeder team after losing a bunch of games they could have easily won but let get away from them... And then this happened. Disappointing to say the least, and Torterella was right, if it wasn't for Luongo at a couple key times, we wouldn't have even gotten a point.

BI3KSA- Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 People act like it's the end of the world, we are 4 points out of a playoff spot, the sky isn't falling, there are 59 games left in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I agree. kesler talks a big game, but Ive literally given up trying to figure out how he decides when or how to show up. I think it's when he hears the sports illustrated photographers are in the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal1 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 So this is what it feels like when the window closes. Exactly. And there is the denial. Daniel has just not been the same since the Keith hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
