Jack Fig Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Things that are bloody awful right now: Pettersen and Boeser. Things that are even worse than Pettersen and Boeser: the PK. Better effort, better execution ... but it doesn't take much adversity for this team to lose these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get the stink out of the building. Players are bad too but something has to change. I wish the Canucks were running at over 60% PP. That's the Oilers PP.

Popular Post DeNiro Posted November 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2021 Just now, dKs89 said: 19 powerplay goals against in the last 10 games. Glad FA has decided this season is lost. 17 games into the season, of course it was 16 when he came out with that letter of no intention to make any changes any time soon. Of course. Because clearly at 5-10-2, garbage special teams, horrible defensive structure, inability to score goals, all with a vastly upgraded roster compared to many years previous, that's just not enough. You honestly expect Aquilini to be able to assess what’s wrong with the team? The guy makes money selling real estate in the easiest city in the world to make money on real estate. He’s not some savvy businessman. He inherited money from his daddy just like Trump. Time for better ownership. Only thing that will actually change things. 4 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes we can nucks Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 This team is so damn frustrating to watch! They just couldn't handle being in the lead 2-1. They promptly take 3 penalties in the next coupla minutes and of course couldn't kill 2 of them to give the lead back to the Jets. It's like a broken record ... we lose another close one with the difference being our powerless play and the penalty kill-ing us! How can our 'special' teams suck so bad this season?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Great performances tonight by Garland - Dickinson - Podkolzin line. Hughes was good for the most part but then lost his cool with the penalty and at the end. He ended up playing 27 minutes! It makes no sense to see Burroughs only get 11 minutes, as he was a very physical and steady guy for us tonight. OEL, Poolman and Myers were solid tonight after a tough first period. Only liked Hoglander on Horvat's line. Pearson did some good board work I suppose. Lotto line was a bit better tonight. At this point I'm hoping for the same thing from them as from our fourth line; don't get caved in. Demko was average tonight, not bad, not good... I'm sure he wants that 3rd goal back. Staggering contrast in the last minute after a whistle: Canucks bench where everyone is standing around for 30 seconds and then the camera pans over to the Avalanche bench where the 5 guys going back out there are all huddled tight around each other and intently staring at what their coach (Bednar) is showing them on the whiteboard.

If the goal to start the season was that, then they're deliberately sabotaging those plans. Most places have the Canucks at less than a 8% chance now. 29th in the league after the Chicago game is done tonight. We gotta go something like 41-23 or 42-22 from here on out to make the playoffs. That Would give us 94-96 points which should give us a wildcard spot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Quote That Avs team is fast. At the start of the game, I thought that the Canucks were not prepared to play them as they couldn't handle the forecheck and were letting the Avs have too many open skating lanes, but they were able to adjust after the first intermission. So unfortunately, yet another slow start. Some of those calls by the refs were bad - slowed down the Canucks' momentum, imho. Hughes' penalty was the clincher. I know it's sad, but at this point, I'm just hoping for Petey's confidence that he doesn't screw up. Still not sure about what the Canucks' identity is supposed to be: speed, skill, strength, systems??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
