Who or what in the puck is that? 

Is that for real? Can’t be.

 

He does look like a congenital twin of Marchand though. 

Yeah! Or, a miniaturized version of the Sharts coach, Bob Boughner. :lol:

I grew up watching tie games. Nothing worse than a tie game. 

 

Cant keep playing forever in regular season games.

 

Shootouts after 5 mins 3 on 3 works. No better solution. 

It would be kind of cool to see it go to 2 on 2 for 5 mins then 1 on 1 for 5

I firmly believed half the games that we've won on this streak we had no business winning so to lose a point in a meh game is fair. 

 

The hockey gods have spoken. 

 

We have to stop dumping the puck in and then have everybody on the ice change lines. It's absolutely killing this team.

IMHO Fantenberg is now the 5D. Another solid game by him. 

 

Jim Benning has said he wants some games for his AHL standouts. He had Rafferty up and then sent him down. He has Big Mac and Bailey to considered. Either Schaller or Ericksson, or both have to sit some games for these two to play. Rafferty should have played in Stecher's spot.

Hate the shootout too but we are stuck with it for now.  Would love to see Hughes given a chance on the next one.  That move he used in the All Star game should frighten some goalies (LOL).  Virtanen too.  He has a wicked shot.  

The area that the Canucks need to improve on fast or they won't being going anywhere is their powerplay.  Too predictable with the same combo of guys out there time after time.

The talent that we have on PP should easily burn other teams with their skill during the set-up but they are not executing it well.  It was obvious from the start that it is Newell Brown's issues.   Most often we see PP goals were either off the rush or broken plays with just one opportunity to shoot and it's in.

The best part of seeing the Canucks at 6th in league standings is that, over at HFBoards Canucks, they are flushing out the "Pro-Tank" thread, closing it down and putting out a warning against all posters actively cheering against the Canucks (and insulting those who don't). This is effectively the equivalent of turning on the light and watching the rats scurrying back to their holes.

 

Brighter times ahead, everyone! Crossing my fingers but it looks like, hopefully, our patience is paying off!

Maybe we should flush out the rats, and send the Trolls back under their bridges here too?

Not too many rats and trolls around here these days - they all seemed to vanish  about 15 games ago .

The team is coming together as a unit - not many floaters  around anymore

Good time to be a Canuck fan

Anyone heard anything on Bailey and Big Mac - are they gonna get a game this call up? I know Green doesn't like to tinker with a winning group

Garbage way to end a game. Never going to like shootouts and if they EVER make their way into playoff hockey I'm out forever. 

I’m with you, they should abolish the shutout, bring back the tie or anything else. 
 

So tired of it.
