The Good:

Hughes was awesome tonight.

Myers played well after the first goal.

Virtanen got one.

Markstrom was amazing.

Miller looked good, as did Petey.

The PK.

 

The Bad:

The first 30 minutes. BRUTAL!

The PP.

You seriously can't retrieve the puck after the Sharks whiff on an empty net 3 times?

Great quality chances, and a few of them SHOULD have been buried.

Both of our goals were right after back breakers by the Sharks. Unacceptable.

No. Their poor start was coaching. Lines were mixed up needlessly. Boeser was demoted after creating the game winning goal the last game. Green is a huge problem.

And as someone else mentioned .. wait to get possession before pulling the goalie.  Lose the draw and then possession and you compromise your chances right away.

Is you team losing? Struggling to score? Completely flaccid? Is your coach gone, goalie a sieve?

Well worry no more. Introducing the 2019 Vancouver Canucks. Your goalies $&!# save percentage? Gone. Losing streak? Gone.

For just 3 easy payments of 20 minute periods, you can snap any streak. Call today, but wait, call now in the next 20 minutes, and we'll even throw in a blown 3rd period lead

This post hits close too home

Well San Jose is a desperate team. They are going to push hard and get their chances. No way nucks would be able to dominate the entire 60 against a team as desperate (and really skilled) as the Sharks. 

No one said dominate for 60 but you do need to play for 60.

I thought Hughes had a pretty rough game. Especially in the first half.

 

Kept turning it over.

San Jose are desperate for a win. There are two teams on the ice. Even with San Jose dominating the first (nucks did outplay them in the 2nd and 3rd) they were only up by one.

It's so frustrating the way this team is playing, they have talent and decent support players but they play so casually like they're in a rec league. This team has not played consistent hockey since the end of October. I think Green is too soft, and he's clearly not a good tactician.

It’s really not that hard. There’s no difference of adding a forward after they win the draw and get setup.

 

Its actually more of an advantage because that extra guy is able to sneak into the ply likely unchecked.

 

I can’t believe an NHL coach doesn’t realize the need to have possession. You’re banking everything on that face off win.
