And here we were, still shooting the standard ole hand phasers into the shields. "If we do it enough, it'll work right?" No. No, doesn't work like that. You can see them pressuring the point up high. If that is their tactic, then bring the puck down low and get that garbage goal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why Newll Brown is so highly regarded. Our PP zone entry is so predictable. Proud of the boys though, we were playing with house money. Yup I knew if we didn’t get one past Lehner it was over. That was a very weak call in Miller but we a knew it was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’ll be remembered on a short list of remarkable Canucks Dmen, not for anything flashy, but just for being a defensive Dman. Glad he was never traded, despite my 100 posts begging for it in years-past. I was with you there. I can't believe I ever considered that as a good idea. He's so fundamental to this team right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead80 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Some days it's hard being a Canucks fan. Super tough watching this game hoping for the best but thinking you know how it's gonna go watching the game unfold. The obvious perception is one team wanted it much more. The lack of offensive zone play, puck possession and lack of a proper break out (besides the lob to centre ice) was extremely hard to watch. It's a lot more exhausting chasing the puck around your own zone then playing in the opposition end. Having said all that, as tough as it was I can't wait for the next season to begin. The future is very bright. We learned some good lessons, watched our young guys grow and found out we have another superstar in the making. As bad as this season finished, it was much more successful then anyone could have thought. Given no respect by anybody, back in the playoffs, knocking off the champs, and coming back from 3-1 to lose in game 7 while being written off as an easy series win for Vegas. These next fews years are going to be super fun to watch. The rest of the league has been put on notice. The Canucks will be back. Everyone look out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -SN- Posted September 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2020 My thoughts: Demko is the goalie of the future. It sucks to let Marky go, but it needs to be done. There will be some decent cheap backups available. Toffoli might not be necessary. If we need to decide between the two, Boeser clearly stays. The bottom 6 needs a hard look. They contributed little offensively beyond one great game; the value is not there. We should add some youth and scoring. I hate Vegas but the team is built well with 4 lines that contribute. The days of meat and potatoes are over. Get something for Jake if we can. Both sides need a fresh start. *Also coaching. Green deserves some time but I wasn't impressed with him this round. The PP also killed us. 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's so impressive with these playoffs. Add the right pieces next season and let's see what happens. I'm excited with what I've seen from this team. This is what is said every 10 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Is anybody worried we instilled a loser's mentality this series? The team basically rolled over and nearly died and were using their final breaths to pray to Demko to save the team. They didn't even try to forecheck/score/hit/have offensive zone pressure for over half a series. I don't know what we could possibly learn from losing that way. Maybe looking at Vegas and how they managed to make their own team lay down and give up like that? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Newell should be let go. I think he is a good PP coach but he somehow cannot adjust during the playoffs. But then, what are the alternatives? Before Newell, our PP was even worse.

WHL rocks Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 1 minute ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: Our bottom six has one of the worst money spent on it and it doesn't get the production it needs. It is what is really hurting this team right now. Its so slow and old and offer nothing. Just today JB talked about how the bottom 6 veterans are teaching the kids to play the right way.. amd pay hard... He recognised he overpaid some bittom 6 players but said when the kids hit their prime in a couple of years they will play solid two way hockey, winning hockey and not just chase scoring points. Teams that play solid 2 way hockey win Cups. Teams like Leafs go out in 1st rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
