Pffft, that’s not a train wreck worthy of a Canucks meme.

Hey, at least thanks to The Neck’s pending suspension we may get to see Rathbone soon.

 

And boy I’m really lookin forward to seeing Podkolzin.

 

And....that’s all I got. Night folks.

Fire Benning!

 

There must have been some way to keep Marky, Tanev, Toffoli, & even Stecher. 
 

Should have pulled a Tonya Harding on Ericksson and then bribed, begged, borrowed, and/or stolen to make deals...plus offered up some future considerations to anyone who would even listen to him!
 

 

 

Never go full Tonya.

[AV.]

Don't worry, Jimothy has things under control.

 

I was told all off-season that he knows what to do and that signing mediocre players to $&!# deals and letting the good ones walk was all part of his plan to continue his 8 year retool.

 

Positivity people!  If they score 7, we'll just have to score 8.  Easy peasy!  Hoglander Podkolzander!

I really see no need to keep either green or Benning or any other coach or person involved in this franchise.

Not so quick bud. If you don’t like the entire team, find another entire team... much easier.

They will. Bet 1-2 

The tinfoil hat wearer in me would love to see it and taking the refs’ favourite target off the ice for the rubber match would be helpful but I guess we’ll see.

yup. Benning has done a lot worse then good with singings. Sure he sniped some insane players, but look at the contracts he gave out... 

Be seems to keep digging deeper and deeper into terrible players instead of signing half decent people it's mind boggling.

 

We lost five players that were good and picked up  a random assortment of people that don't play near good enough.

So who is No.1 overall in the draft this year? Or do we just go for Luke no matter where we draft?

Brandt Clarke has the most mock 1st OA picks

 

6'1'' RD Dynamic OFD

 

Owen Powers is probably 2nd. Huge 6'5'' D

Looking for positives pk 89%......

Another positive would be that we’re putting up points without Petey going.  
 

People wanna rehash the cap situation in a league with guaranteed contracts but I’m genuinely surprised and curious as to how poorly we’ve played at some points this year.  We’ve seen glorified AHL squads in the recent past that have put up a better effort than what we’re seeing.
 

I think this team has a bit of a playoff hangover and believes it’s own hype a little too much to start the year. 
 

I think the goaltending has been missing some key saves.

 

I think the coaching leaned too heavily on Hughes and Schmidt to start the year - trying to outsprint teams instead of slowing it down and balancing the minutes.  We’re a few games in and they look burnt out already.  Now we’re banged up and they don’t have any more to give.  Huge hole to start the season.

We haven’t lost a game with Loui playing this season.

I'd have Loui in the lineup on Saturday even if he is tied to a ventilator.

 

Did I really say that?

I'd honestly take Torts back as coach. He seems much better suited towards younger teams.

I would take a player coached team over our incompetent fools 

[SergioMomesso]

Where’s Fanteburg when you need him? We need to send a team to sneak him and Podz out of the iron curtain to Vancouver stat.

I can't I've been in this since 85 it wouldn't make sense to follow another team at this point.

 

This is the video version of the Canucks last fifty years

Maybe Nhl hockey will be back in three weeks when the players get in shape?

Yeah, Miller in particular looked dead in the legs from the second onwards.

[Beary Sweet]

Tough night. Just nothing going our way. Bo continues to be our best player so far this season with a handful of goals. Demko was torched and should’ve gotten pulled but hey Holtby needed a rest. Hasn’t been a good start to the year for Demko. Our D continues to need more work in order for us to be competitive in games. They are young so it’s going to be a learning process. Sutter picks up his 1st. Hope that gets him going. Petey and Huggy Bear need to pick up the slack and play their game and not overthink out there. Hope we bounce back Saturday! GCG!
