[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks @ Calgary Shames | January 18, 2021 | 6 p.m. PT | SN1, SNP

Elias Pettersson with the absolutely unacceptable miss on the 2on0. 4th liner Brandon Langford would even score that. Dude needs to hold himself accountable.

Schmidt is bad defensively. 

No, the whole team is bad right now. Just, as a whole they’re playing awful. No one to be singled out they’re all just playing bad.

Who’s gonna slot in on the PK? They’re overpaid, not useless. 

Yeah right do we even have a PK all I see are pylons standing there waving there sticks in circular motion on the ice.

More important question is "why" those turnovers and penalties kept happening, and what the coach did/didn't do to stop them.

Schmidt just have to learn how to play with Edler ...

Could have sworn during the playoffs you and I weren't the only ones who liked what Beagle brought.

They do have over the counter products for that issue

Jake has more goals than petterson,miller and hughes combined!

And if his linemates finish his passes, he would have more assists.

It's the dumb defensive system that never changes ever since last playoffs. Gets hemmed in there own zone.

[RU SERIOUS]

Can someone re-post the "how much some of them are paid bad players are paid" list again.  I can't seem to recall seeing that in the last 30 pages....

I liked Jakes game a lot tonight.  He and Gaudette play well together.  They need a winger on the LW that gels well with them.

The Canucks knew about recapture since the 2013 CBA was implemented, and while the current GM inherited this issue, he still chose to spend the amount of money he did that put him in this mess.

 

If you want to complain about 3M in dead cap from Luongo, you should be fuming that we're also paying 3M for Ryan Spooner and Sven Baertschi to play hockey elsewhere.

Baertschi was a good deal when signed and injury derailed his career, not going to fume over bad luck.

 

Spooner got us out of Gagner who was a flop here and everywhere since. 

 

I’ve been banging the recapture is garbage drum since 2013, retroactively penalizing contracts that were legal and league approved is and was beyond stupid.

Schmidt should say something about how they figured that out when he was with Vegas these past years....

Half our top six weren’t with the team last year so i’m cutting the D some slack for them to figure out their chemistry. I think they’ll be all right once Schmidt/Hamonic get accustomed to Green’s systems and Quinn/OJ will gain more experience as we go. Myers is looking better. Once the others get going, hopefully they’re going to be all right.

He is working with a group that just lost 3 VERY important players to the makeup of team moral. 

[Canuckfanforlife82]

I just heard Jeff Paterson was saying that the pk was at 66.7 percent and pp is 0%. Lol. That is really bad if you think you are one player short of being a Stanley cup team like Benning is saying they are.

You don't forget how to coach or play in a few months. To me, the team looks gutted. Stetcher, Tanev, Marky, JT all missing from that room to start the year. They look like their gramma just died. They will find there mojo again but it will need to be with this different combination of players. Hopefully with this home stand.
