WHL rocks Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 .500 record thru quarter point of season especially with all the injuries. I think most canucks fans should be happy with this season so far. When the injured players return this team will get a mental boost on top of talent boost.

At least the rest of the team has been stepping up, so you're already half wrong. Yep, let's pin a bad road trip on a 20 year old rookie having an extremely minor slump while he's been carrying the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get what you're saying and don't disagree on that level. We have an amazing talent. I'm just saying that if we're going to compare him to Gretzky, he must be held to a higher standard. That higher standard needs to be the difference between what we saw tonight and a win. I love Petey but if people are going to throw his name alongside Gretzky, he needs to get more than 4 shots and 2 hit. I know you know what I'm saying.

chon derry Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 given the success of the beginning of the season, it may have raised expectations, and now all of sudden a drop off, prior to the start who really expected anything close to what we seen? , the fact of the matter is ,WE SEEN IT ,it happened ,and it'll happen again , I remember being told an old saying ,"never get to high with the win's , never get to low with the lose's".

IMO a long road trip, missing the majority of our vets who are used to the travel versus our youngsters who are not is taking its toll. On to the next one. PS. The GDT’s are absolutely unbearable when the Canucks aren’t winning. Pathetic by a huge part of our fans on here. PSS. Every fan gets overly emotional during the game. CDC rule: What goes on in GDT, stays in GDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Anyone worried about Petey simply needs to look at the cast around him lately how often has he had to pass to Pouliot? That is a equivalent to passing a puck into the ocean, you will never see it back when we get Edler back and our injured fowards back we get a more balanced team and the pressure is not solely on Petey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our entire team is being forced to play above their pay grade and it's showing with the fatigue of a grueling road trip. It's not really any one player's fault; the team isn't constructed to withstand the amount of injuries we're dealing with on a long-term basis, yet. Our team's been one of the pleasant surprises of the entire league this year and I refuse to throw our kids under the bus for having a stretch where they're playing about as well as was originally expected.

Knucklehd Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Not a great game, effort was ok, but starting to show the stresses of missing some of their top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 This defense/goaltending needs to be overhauled in a big way. Lol. Will be nice when we get Sutter and Beagle back too. This team is starting to look exactly how it should have when we first lost them. The magic is wearing off. Sooner we start to get healthy the better. On the brightside as a Virtanen stan I am glad he got another goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree totally on the 7 role. Here is what I don’t get how does 7 role get you in the first unit pp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko likely ready next year with DiPietro taking over in Utica. Patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
