I think it might be a good thing in the end for Pettersson to have a year like this. Everything has come so easy the first two years for him. Facing adversity he might come back with some fire behind him.

Might be. If absolutely is.

I wonder who has the worst of it, Canucks are definitely in the running if not the clear cut winner.

Well, you can't lay Luongo on JB.

[J-Strap]

We refuse to shoot the puck...hanging on to it with the sinking ship

There has to be a shake up. You can only juggle lines for so long. This team is lost, and the coaches have no response. 

While I agree in this season when is there even time to work on it. 
 

the flames get 3 games when we get 6 and they they get 5 days off. We have played almost every other day so far. The team needs a few days to work on things together 

[canuck2288]

Travis Green hockey of full display 

 

is this really what we want the future to be? 

[Seguin]

At this point, we need Rous or Virt to throw their body around and take a penalty.

There needs to be some injection of energy into our line up.

 

A fight, a hit, crash the net. Whatever it takes to light a fire under these asses.

The thing is that when great players like EP & Hughes are struggling, a great team would see other players step up and make an impact. Other than Bo & a little bit of Boeser, it’s like the Canucks can’t even function as an NHL hockey team w/o EP & Hughes. That’s a very BAD sign 

[ItalianCanuck1]

At least next game will not be against Sidney Toffoli or Martin Dominik Roberto Maelstrom.

Pettersson worked on his skating this off season?

I wonder if all his streaming/youtubing/outdoor skating stuff he did during the off-season detracted from training. This is an unusually poor slump.

This isn’t stepping back. This is a total breakdown. These players are too good to be this discombobulated. 

Blunt, the team is RIFE with discombobulation. 

[Jaimito]

0/3 on PP. 

Face offs 47.5%. 

7 giveaways. 

Outshot 18-13

 

I will take one pt tonight.

I remember when we had elite goaltending, a rookie #1 defenceman and Pettersson wasn't playing like &^@#ing garbage. Good times

Don’t develop a goalie like Marky to only let him go IMO.

 

Going to take a while to get over it. Was really starting to like that guy like Lu, on and off the ice. 
 

Petey will figure it out sometime, our defensive coverage is what I’m worried about most.

[250Integra]

I don’t get how an elite hockey player can be so poor at skating and have 0 balance. 3rd year in the league and he’s still like Bambi out there...

[westsideconnect]

All this talk about Green, but let's be real if Markstrom is in the net their record is better and those conversations aren't happening.  Forget about spectacular saves, neither of them have made the saves they should and have been really not good at all.  32 goals in 20 periods?  C'mon

He didn't even come back and pad tap him

I don't think this team is playing as a tight unit anymore

[-NucksFan]

Ok Bo, give those guys a talking to , need to start scoring and change the way the team is playing 

[JoshuaGuy]

Pettersson spiting Benning for letting Marky go? Lol. /s

[Smashian Kassian]

Could have 4 goals, but things just aren't going right.. gotta stick with it. 

[MikeyD]

We are gonna win this game in regulation.
