RU SERIOUS Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just now, StiffStick33 said: brock was brutal. Low energy liability I was strongly in Favour of trading him and stand by that. All he is - is a Shooter. No more - No less! Can't forecheck, can't backcheck, can't stick handle, can't pass, and doesn't play physical. The one and only thing he is good at are one timers from 17.5 ft on a 11 degree angle from the right side of the opposing goaltender. That's about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) The “TSN turning point” was the missed call on Hughes during their first goal. As I suspected, Hogs’ pre-season was not really him. Although a lot of Canucks missed glorious chances, Hogs remains king at that marker. I hope when Mik comes, Hogs is sent down. I have to say this game made me very angry. We waited a long time to see this. Our PP, which everyone, including myself, thought to be extremely potent, was a complete dud. 1/7 is unacceptable. Ugh. I’m gonna toss and turn all night now. Edited October 13, 2022 by grandmaster 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AV. Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 2022/23 season so far: - blew a 3 goal lead in the opening game - lost to a team playing with less than the minimum amount of skaters - can't kill penalties - can't score on powerplays - concede short-handed goals "but but but the refs!!!".. Didn't realize the refs made us concede 5 unanswered goals More of the same this season, folks. Don't say I never warned you - this defence ain't good enough, never has been. 3 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkingz Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Special teams killed us. Yes the missed call on Hughes was a turning point but jesus christ keep playing. They turtled. Couldn't do anything on the PP and gave up a shorty in fact. They would have been better off waiving the powerplay to just keep playing 5 on 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcy2 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 To be honest. We can’t beat the oilers… their weapons are just too damn lethal. McDavid and Draisaitl… I don’t blame this on anybody. Move on I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game once again showed everyone that McDavid is a game changer, and as long as he is in the lineup, I don’t see the Canucks could get pass the Oilers. I can't say being outshot by double while having a sub par starting goaltender is a very reliable strat though. Wins you a game once in a blue moon...which I guess it is tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFerguson Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Just now, drdeath said: It’s happened to this team for years. Bad call or bad bounce and they go into a shell. Should have come out after the missed call on Hughes with a McSorely special to Conor McDavid but instead they just accept it and go into a shell. And look what happens. I would've loved to see one of: Joshua, Lazar, Schenn...Stillman go after Kane That's the pushback we needed right at that moment. Just someone to go after Kane automatically for bloodying our star D-Man. Once upon a time that was normal. And I bet it would've change our energy after that first goal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC_Hawk Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 2 minutes ago, VancouverHabitant said: Good game by the boys overall, but a couple of mistakes cost us and McDavid took advantage. Annoying way to lose as we were dominating them until Hughes got high-sticked, they scored, and we missed Hughes and played with 5 d-men for most of the 2nd period. Lots of standouts on our team: Kuzmenko, Petey, JT, Pearson, OEL, Poolman, Garland, and Podz all had very strong games. We held them to very little 5 on 5, but they destroyed our special teams. Yep, the shooting and passes were sloppy…gonna take a few games. Team look really good though if they bury a couple of those open nets. let’s get I;ya out there and hope Myers is back,soon…the defense was rough tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 1 for 8 on pp is a brutal team started strong then forgot it wasn’t a 20 minute game as per the norm. d no surprise looked brutally bad. Nucks did themselves in by missing wide open nets over and over. Miller horvat hoglander . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Did you ever notice that none of Edmontons goals were off the big one timer slap shot on the PP................lots of puck movement 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better team at 5 on 5 lost tonight...which was a theme last season (whether the Canucks won or lost). I guess 5 on 5 means absolutely nothing in this league, only to the analytic community 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The non-call on Hughes followed by PP goal by the Oilers was the turning point, but there's no way the team should be giving up five straight goals.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ey40 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Say all you want about this missed call, but the Canucks didn’t play aggressively enough in the third. I sensed that another slow start is coming. Prove me wrong Canucks on Saturday, prove me wrong! Go night all Canucks fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 a 'core' player has to go to fix the defence. you build from the net out. also why t fk have they started in edmonton 4 years in a row....on the road 4 years in a row.... i know..nit picking...but someone needs to bark at the schedule maker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
