well if it wasn't for Boeser's terrible pass to Bo, he would never have scored, the whole team did not come out to play, including Bo. when they played in October Miler was planted in front of the net and that was where he scored most of his goals, now nobody does it.  and for them dumping the puck in instead of taking it in, is just plain dumb, 9 times out of ten the other team gets it and brings it up the ice. I don't understand why Green doesn't see this. 

 

It's safer to play dump and chase.  Teams that carry the puck in mostly have very high turnover rates.  Probably why Green favours that system.

That was hard to watch last night. It was like the tale of two teams, mirrored.

 

DAL was all skating, attacking, no space, tight gaps, crisp execution.

 

...We were the opposite of that :sick:

 

Time to buckle down boys and do the work.

Edler actually wasn't a detriment defensively tonight. 

 

Until the second period came around. Why can't a guy getting paid that much have even a mediocre game? I'm literally calling a good pass, a hit, a good defensive play a +1 and a defensive lapse a -1 and he's always in the negative. He had two nice plays today and he was still a - 4 in my books. 6th goal he was busy watching Horvat and just allowed a breakaway goal. So absolutely mind numbing laziness.

Anyone notice Boeser and Miller having words with eachother after a PP? Both looked frustrated.

At one point Boeser had a wide open net but Miller was standing directly in the way, so he was the goalie, for the other team. Nothing in the way but Miller.

Totally agree. The team has hit the dreaded bump... now try to get some new energy from the younger players. Helped with Gaudette.

This team needs a guy like Graovac in the lineup and to play him more than 2 minutes. There's so many non-game changers in this lineup when the team is struggling. We have 3 players that can turn the game around but the only problem is Green never utilizes them and puts them into situations that'll help the team. 

 

The fact that Eriksson is still in the lineup is a &^@#ing joke. Especially in the style this team is playing. Bring up somebody who will instigate and get the team involved again. Daft coaching.

Well for me, when we outshoot the opponent 33-30 and LOSE 6-1..... That tells me our Goalie crapped the bed biggtime!!

Did our D hang him out to Dry??? or did he just plain old "suck" tonight and then why did the coach not pull him??? Isn't leaving your goalie out there for that, kind of embarrassing?????

Yup. I noticed Miller getting tired of Boeser missing the net and trying his brutal one time over and over. Boeser need to go back to his bread and butter and use his wrister more often than not.

All the flip floppers and bandwagoners coming out of the woodwork.

 

Relax it’s one game. Take a deep breath and move on.

 

This team had its first real stinker tonight. Won’t be the last one. This certainly was far from this teams best effort.

 

I fully expect them to bounce back next game.

Have you missed the last ten? Lol

I picked up on Boeser and Miller tension,  they are not talking to one another on the bench.........sulking frustrated looks on their faces..........says allot 

 

Veterans and rookies need to work hard, play for one another and  support one another 

The reality is that we are not playing good hockey right now and the team we love may not be as good as we thought after an easy October 

 

 

 

Caught that little chat on the bench - it looked almost not friendly between Boes and JT -

Play to win, or play to not lose.

 

Losers play to not lose.

Oh definitely the goaltenders fault. He needs to be better at handling all of those close net one timers and in the slot plays. Buddy needs to go back to the AHL to work on his go-go-gadget arms and legs and come back up when he's ready.

Saying the team is playing bad is automatic grounds for being called a "bandwagoner". Cause if you are a true fan and truly supportive of the team you never acknowledge when they are playing bad. I love this team, but people need to realize that not every bit of negative commentary is fans getting off the bandwagon or not supporting the team. The team is playing piss poor this month. Just a fact.

Markstrom was really red in the face after the breakaway goal. Maybe not embarrassed, but more liklely furious. He's got a temper, and I think he gets frustrated. I don;pt think the D played very well, but he has to make those saves too. DAL had roughly the same number of shots, Bishop made the saves. Mid you, most of the Canucks shots came from 30 feet out, and maybe that's the difference. Forwards need to drive the net, create havioc, go to the tough areas, battle, etc. And Myers lobbing a backhander from the point is not going to go in lol I was disappointed in Pettersson to be honest. He played like something is bothering him. Maybe he's like the poor child stuck in the middle of his fighting parents (Boeser and Miller) lol

Roussel and Motte can’t get healthy fast enough. Team looking like Toronto out there. At least throw MacEwan out there. Loui is done. Toast. He’ll never play up his value and brings nothing to the bottom 6. Get em outta here. 

ya those 2;16 mins Green will play Mac will really change our fortunes
