The guy was sucking up to Vancouver yesterday, but as soon as Vegas got the upper hand in this game, then he couldn't resist sticking the knife in and twisting it. Man is the most disgusting PoS that exists in Sports. --- The good news is that the Canucks played poorly, and the loss was mostly on their fumbles and miscues. They can do a LOT better. I watched at least 10 different good scoring opportunities get squandered due to bad nerves, cr*p passing and poor shots. Game would have been a lot different if the team was on its game... but the fact is nearly every player on the Canucks was so far off sharp they wouldn't cut bologna. Still a long way to go in the series. Ya Ron is the Judas of sports broadcasting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckleheads fan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I blame this loss on the stupid Conservative party. Because of their incompetence with choosing a leader I couldn't watch the game on CBC and I can't get Sportsnet in the US so I had to watch it on NBCSN and listen to the announcers blow kisses at Reeves and the Golden Showers for three hours. I have a 8-2 record for games I've watched on CBC this playoff season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comes after we had success getting him off the top 6. Ask yourself if we play a great d and o structure he is NOT the coach that will make this team get to the next level. The system that we play isn't going to work against VGK. It never has. What did the announcer say? The Canucks have never beat VGK in regulation. Ever. We've been playing the same system under Green and it has never been successful against VGK. Not once. Now's the time to find out what Greener is made of. Does he change it up or does he stick to the same old same old and expect different results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerMainLander18 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Some of our players must be playing hurt. They did give everything they got in St. Louis series. But this is playoffs. Gotta dig deep. Hoping for better bounces next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Path Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I thought the refs did a really good job this game. Only missed 1 high stick, multiple crosschecks, multiple interference, multiple slashes, and multiple trips against Vegas. Sure it isn't the ref's fault we lost the game tonight, but man, would be nice if we didn't have to play 1 v 1.5 every single game. What a joke Edited August 24, 2020 by Psycho_Path 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Knights are bigger and faster.... the only reason that Reaves was the focal point was because CBC's camera kept on panning onto him every single chance they got. Kind of a strange programming choice, but he is a childhood friend and grew up in the same city as the CBC guy that does After Hours interviews.

bishopshodan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Happens. The media and CDC will focus on Reaves and Rooster. The coaches will focus on getting the guys to get back to basics and playing with tempo. Canucks deserve to be here. Bring on game 2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post xereau Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 Our passive defensive system in the D zone is a real problem versus the VGK offensive zone system. It's actually a match made in hell for us. Vegas is the fastest team in the league and they absolutely hound the puck. If we just hand over the entire perimeter of the D zone every time they touch the puck, it's a 4 game series. The coaches need to let the guys off the leash in this series and let our guys punish them for touching the puck. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake was ok tonight, he was getting into scrums and involved but i wish he finished his hits more often. There was a chance to nail a Knights player behind the net in the 1st period but he let up. Reaves or any other Vegas players would've gone through us. Eriksson, Pearson, Horvat, Miller = invisible. Hughes, Petey = average. they tried to be creative but the Knights just smothered them. We needed this spanking, hopefully the guys play for each other next game. Rookie year Jake would have obliterated him. I think that was Stephenson. I yelled at my screen when he slammed on the brakes 3 feet from him. Reminds me of the time Bertuzzi ran over Barrett Jackmam in the playoffs or Raffi Torres on Seabrook except this time, there was no hit... I wonder what was going through Jake's mind there... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Bright side is that it can’t get worse than this game. Worst one I think I’ve seen them play all year. They better figure things out or we may get swept in 4 games. I have faith in Green and the leaders on our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Not impressed that the Canucks‘ day off was a moving day. I presume the Knights were already comfortably installed. New opponents, new surroundings, they could have used an extra day. Thanks, NHL. Don’t start doing this team any favours, now... wouldn’t know what to do, if they actually got one.
