I notice teams are bringing the play to our crease a lot. Remember those days of ankle hacks? Seems like Toronto did the same thing.

Loved that guy. Those tip ins. Him and Sundstrom had good chemistry.

Really like that Hamonic Hughes tandem. Everything feels normal again there since Tanev left. I’m actually starting to like Hamonic more. His physical play and willingness to not even think twice about stepping up for a teammate is a great trait to have. The man must be resigned imo

This is the Hamonic we were expecting.  He was my first choice if we weren't able to re-sing Tanev, and he's finally settled in and playing like himself.  He willingly got his face caved in by Gudbranson in defense of a teammate when he was playing against us.

I think Hamonic is ok too - for now.   Just to bring folks back down to earth, I'm not sure if anyone noticed in the 1st period Jim Husson commented on Hamonic playing better - this mere seconds after he made 4 errors trying to clear the puck from our zone.   If you have the game taped go back and take a look.  We were all laughing when Jim said that - almost as if he wasn't watching the game.   Too funny!

Anyhow - he's not superman but he's O.K. - at this point.

And, what’s wrong with that? 23% of women have hairy chests.

I think it's a bit higher way out here in Surrey !

 

I think there's a bylaw in town here that you have to keep them on a leash - especially in Whalley.

Jake + Newell Brown for Toffoli + Burrows.

Can we squeeeeeeeeeeeeze Lucky Loui in this deal somehow????

[Rabbit]

Great win, we have a light to playoff.

Holtby made 3 win streak, thanks.

Pearson once again confirmed his extension contract is correct.

Myers is in the upper level, compared to last season.

 

PK is so good, but PP is... especially for this 5-3,  so miss of Pettersson.

Anyone agree to FIRE BROWN?

If the team and organization only knew how much the Canucks fans despise most of the sports media in Vancouver,..   they could make hay chirping back at stupid questions..

that would be a lot of fun.

 

media:  Travis who are you starting in goal tonight?

Green:  who do you want me to start?  Your only going to question my decision for either pick,.  So why don’t you pick and I’ll question you.?

 

Media to Miller:  JT it looked like you had a lot of hop in your step tonight, how did it feel?

 

Miller:  like I had a lot of hop in my step.

[RU SERIOUS]

Shouldn't the score have read Canucks 4 Jake 2 ?  That useless boat anchor almost cost us the game - AGAIN.   How many times do we have to see this train wreck on the ice throw a game for the opponents?  Our team spent half the game trying to undo the damage he caused - AGAIN.  He should be benched permanently.  He is a cancer on this team robbing our rookies at a chance to play.  At least they try.  Can't wait until he's gone and can't believe Uncle Jim signed him first before TT.  WTF was he thinking??????????

 

Man this get me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy got me into the Canucks in the 80's. Scored a lot, but the team seemed to be going through the never ending rebuild until the 90's.

That blown 5 on 3 to close out the game worries me. 

 

I feel like a slightly better team than OTT would have taken us to overtime or shootout. 

 

Not playing with desperation on that PP is inexcusable. 

 

Glad we pulled out a win tonight. 

 

I'm hoping the players knew what they were doing. 

Well said.   That was pathetic and is a glimpse into the lack of urgency our coaching staff injects into the players.    Thank god they'll all be fired at seasons end.

Virtanen has to be the dumbest player on the team. Very little situational awareness, doesn’t read plays, reacts slowly and takes stupid penalties regularly. Unless he hits more and gets more gritty I see no purpose in having him on the team. Trade him on draft day for a 3rd rounder.

I don't remember Green being so condescending prior to the break. He seems particularly testy since coming back. Guess I can't really blame him, all things considered.

 

It would be nice if the media guys would ask questions that didn't have such obvious answers. Not a lot of deep journalism going on in this interview.

Scratched for a second game in a row. In three games, if I'm not mistaken, he has a whopping 7 minutes of playing time. Chicago being the bottom feeding team that they are this season, couldn't even make space for Gaudette.

 

Really doesn't look good on him.
