Who said Miller should be captain?  
He should be traded too. 

Trade Bo/Miller and eventually Garland/Boeser. 

 

Maybe re-sign Kuzzy(unless return is great) to maintain Petey's line and go hard for Bedard.

Why is a news reporter asking about Tanner Pearson's injury after a 5-4 loss? Seems pretty sketch, especially since there's no audio/video clip to go alongside this. Wouldn't be surprised if this response was paraphrased from an interview before the game honestly, can't stand this guy 

The pregame interviews were done before Pearson’s injury news came out.

How MANY games are our guys going to lose by just one goal?? 
 

It’s been heart-breaking for me to watch. Must be soul-crushing for them.
 

All I ask….just be pros about it and never give-up or surrender to the dark-side. Something better is to come. This team & city deserve to be rewarded for their patience, efforts, and hard luck - eventually. Hope is everything! 
 

 Go Canucks Go!

Nice guys finish last in sports.  
You don’t get cups by asking politely. 
When there is someone willing to knock you out to win, you better have the mentality to start punching back, or you will find yourself on your ass, while the other team does laps with the cup.  
 

The Canucks have had the same mentality for so long, and we have been losers the whole time.   

It has tons to do with the "Swedish Effect" this franchise has been crippled with for over 20 years, having Nazy, then the Sedins. then Bo (who was neutered by the Sedins).  My concern is that PA makes EP40 the Captain when Bo is gone in a few weeks.  We can already see PA's swedish leaning in the last draft taking one of his tiny "finesse" home boys (who's been concussed one too many times and likely will never play in the NHL) instead of picking one of the bigger/stronger proven Canadian players that were available.  I'm a bit worried after that and the awful Still-Man trade - where he threw away our 2nd draft pick for nothing.

I love Bo but you gotta try and rip Sergachevs head off there. 

Not just him either even though Bo was right there. Miller and Lazar were out there late.

 

Team response was garbage. Gotta have each others backs. You gotta take moments like that personally.

There were actually some hockey no minds criticizing Bo for not reacting when Garland gets punched here. Sedin thing all over again, like how dumb can you be? Down a goal and you expect Bo to take a penalty there. Stupid.

Were we going to win the cup tonight?   No.  We weren’t even going to win this game in a wash of a season. 

Is this the only time Bo has done nothing to stick up for his teammates?   Heck no.  
 

I bet you Garland would have appreciated if his captain smacked the nose of the guy who just punched his face to the ground.

Nah, let him just focus on scoring 

 

He doesn't enjoy dealing with the media as is 

If he’s astute as I think he is, he will delegate that task, so that he can devote his energies to scoring. 
It’s there to be done.

We also had the case of Boeser coming back too early and then being out of the lineup again.  

 

Medical staff here inspires no confidence.

You know what, Thank you. We all get so angry and upset with them but hardly any of us see how upset they would be themselves.

Too late for that. He was ripped last year when he was trying those crappy skates. EP is a god now. ::D

Haha oh everything will be his fault when he’s captain. I don’t want anyone captain of this team tbh

Not a bad effort tonight considering they outshot the Lightning - Tampa is simply a better team and no shame in losing to them on the road. Its the home games where they get blown out without any pushback that ticks off most fans. 

 

Their schedule looks pretty daunting the next two months and then they face some of the other teams in the bottom third.  If they are out of the playoffs by then, I hope they at least give some of the youth a shot for once - players like Podkolzin Klimovich Pedersen Alman cuz if they don't play by that time, when will they play.

 

Almost all the non-playoff teams will do that very same thing at that time. Maybe that's why this team has really struggled with prospects - rarely play them even when out of the playoffs - then end up having to sign expensive veterans that don't pan out at times and have no developed youth.. Rinse and repeat=failed system!

Look at last year for example, where none of the guys from the farm were called up instead of letting Hunt disgrace the franchise every time he set foot on the ice.
