Wilson really checked Hughes hard tonight. Guys 1 of the best there is when it comes to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Canucks should not trade away their future at the deadline no matter where they are in the playoff race. They are not a contender yet. They need at least another two D plus a forward and they don't have the picks to spend to get them. If they make the playoffs, this year should be for the experience... they are unlikely to go deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaninMex Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 2 hours ago, Down by the River said: Hughes is elite, but on the PP, he really needs to not double clutch before passing over to Pettersson. He gets the puck from Miller on the half wall and always holds it too long until Pettersson's one timer no longer is an option. OEL is better on the PP!.

Melbourne Canuck Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Anyone else think Hughes made an error in OT skating the puck to the opposite side wall on his backhand side? Left him no options and always a likely turnover and in 3 on 3 there’s too much ice to defend. Skating it back out a much safer option IMO.

Pretty sure that is only if they show symptoms. He did sell the hit, but I'm not surprised Myers got 2 on the play. I'm more pissed about OEL getting 2 when he was only getting a penalty to (almost) even up the high stick that wasn't. That, and OJ Tushie (thanks for sharing that story, Shorty) tackling Huggy were pretty bad. And don't get me started on Boeser's offside. Very close call, but they're supposed to let those go for review, if a goal is scored. Oh well. Got one more point than Vegas. So happy the boys made the awesome comeback. Sure made up for the sleeper periods that came before. Yeah that was complete BS. made the even up call then still called OEL on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why Hathaway spit at Guddy. Hathaway and any spitter is a POS in my books. I love watching this guy try to fight and get tuned up by real fighters. Hathaway IMO managed to become one of the biggest POS in the league. No respect for other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman64 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Tiring of this love/hate thing going on with this team, they can either be a really good team or suck so bad BUT the worst is seeing bigger teams walk on us with no pushback, ok so this isn't new but it's getting on my last nerve! Wish it was easier out there to find bigger tougher skilled players, as we need about 3-4 more and I wish one of them was Tryamkin back, I'm sure the Dallas Stars don't ever want to see him again but it was fun to watch a Russian T-34 Tank take to the ice while it lasted but we need more of that if we're ever going to get anywhere.

Laughable Cheers Devron, well said. Harmonic even gave him a pat as he came off the ice, for sticking to the player being tough on Hunt... He is the only player, who consistently goes to war for his team mates... There's a reason he plays with Hughes.. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to see the team evolve into one that can come back after things don’t go their way early on Thanks... this is so true... After reading through the PGT you'd have thought we just got dropped out of the play off race... I thought the team battled back fantastically and gave them self a chance in game, that looked all but over after the second period. 2 point would have been great, but 1 far better then none, and the mental strength shown to at least get a point, shows the character in the team... The team is growing, and its getting better week after week... Canucks are right in the middle of it and that in it self is a remarkable achievement... Lots of big games coming up, and the team needs to make the most of it.... desire will go a long way in determine if they make it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before controversy starts, I don't care if that was Miller or Horvat or OEL etc. What I care about is how the guys responded. There is no locker room issues. Horvat responds by scoring 2, Miller keeps his streak going This.... Been saying this for ages... this team has lots of leaders in it... Letters don't make leaders You're either a leader or you're not... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Way to fight back for the point. Vegas opened the door and we walked to the threshold but not through. Vegas is depending on a career loser to help get them going and hopefully it doesn’t happen. That point could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time he's done this contract, he will have broken every D club record except goals. Most points, most assists, multi point games etc. Nice to see some old timers Kearns, Lidster and Lumme on the list ... Reinhart for two years etc...hard to believe it's taken that long to have someone on the D that looks to threaten their records. Jovo looked to be the guy for a couple years in the early 2000,s that could one day do it - been a long time let's just say that. Also impressed with how he took last years defensive flaws to heart... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 7 hours ago, Alflives said: So we are going to hope the other goalie plays crappy every game? Hell, with the Cap’s goalie playing crappy, we should have bloody won! Demko plays his normal self and we do win. That’s not hate for Demko. That’s accepting the fact he’s our best and most important player. The better he plays the more likely We win. The poorer he plays the more likely we lose. Thanks Captain Obvious. You've just made a statement that applies to EVERY single team/goalie in hockey and hockey history. Obviously, this obvious fact has been lost on you. The problem with the Canucks is that they have so many holes up front, if Demko doesn't stand on his head EVERY game he plays, everything is intensified. If you were remotely paying attention tonight and every other night, with an exception or two, you would recognize that Demko gives the Canucks a chance to win when he's in the line up. I doubt if you realize this or not, but the reason why Demko is extraordinarily relied upon to win games is because the rest of the team is lacking. Once the rest of the team comes to 80% of what Demko gives you consistently, this team will be a contender. Until then, it's a pretender. And that's coming from a diehard Canucks fan who loves this team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
