Almost so bad this game you just gotta forget about it and move on. We aren't this bad based on the first 3 games. 

 

Once we get Hughes back, we have our full squad for the first time this season. Just forget about this game and go from there. 

Also I do think based off this game they might want to keep Miller in the top 6. I know they love Pearson but I would put him on the 3rd line or try it. Or put hoglander there, not as a demotion but because he has looked good there tbh and gives us more attack from that line.

WTF?  I went to the basement to get something and now it's 4-2 with a penalty???

We all better get used to the basement if they keep playing like this

These guys have half an hour to tee it up on the perimeter of their pp.  Far too passive 

Coach Ghandi preaches "give them time and space"

[Aardvark]

Allowed 41 SOG so far.  I’m blaming the defensive system that the Canucks forwards are being coached to play.

Starting to wonder if Jack Eichel is a giant locker room cancer and these are the real Sabres.

I'm a little surprised Green hasn't experimented with new lines.

It’s all a bit over his head. He’s just staring.

Well Hamonic will not be playing for us this season and Hughes cant play 30 minutes per game every game. Benning really needs to get us a top 4D right away. We look like an AHL team now with our D not being able to defend or move the puck up the ice or pass. Hunt and Schenn are waiver wire fodder while Rathbone is still a rookie.

Agreed on Hunt but Schenn did alright...??

Here comes two minutes of passing it around

Every &^@#ing thing about this team is just passive. Passive PK. Just give their best players all the time and space in the world. Passive PP. Just the most disgusting, gross passive defensive system I've ever witnessed. Not a single other NHL team plays like the Canucks do in the defensive zone. And I wonder why. Because it's &^@#ing garbage and gives up non stop chances with all kinds of breakdowns. Passive forecheck. No one is ever aggressively forechecking the defenseman...it's always soft &^@#ing garbage oh I'll just put my stick in there and let him make the easy play. God forbid I use the body and try to do anything else. 

 

 

The only redeemable coaching is the goaltending. Everything else is absolute &^@#ing garbage. 

Yeah it’s a sport built on aggression. Playing on your toes. Gretzky was a gentlemanly player and almost never engaged physically, but he went after loose pucks with a fury and the puck just seemed to follow him. You have to play this game with a competitive fire, every single shift.

Meanwhile the Sharks are lighting up Montreal 

 

Must be nice

Yeah but we faced Detroit, BUffalo, Coilers and Philly...Not exactly powerhouse teams in the league. 1-2-1 is not a good record against those teams.

Relax - it is still early, the players are still getting used to each other and the coaches are still getting to know the roster.....

 

You must not be a real fan

Green needs to put miller with pettersson and Boeser. Hoglander with Horvat and Garland. We need goals now

[Taphouse Canuck]

Oh no, they've given us another power play.

 

It just goes from bad to worse!

give me some light

Can tell OEL is new to the team. He is still trying. 

And Baumer hasn't ruined him yet.

Remember the days when we use to dominate eastern teams. Those were nice times
