Tocchet can't coach Defense Gonchar and Adam Foote are the hall of fame coaches who coach defence for this team… the players aren’t getting the job done simple as that… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough already. One post would be sufficient to identify those that agree with you. 30 negative posts on 3 pages isn't going to convice we other 3000 online to agree with you. It's pretty much just this one guy. He's got it on for Tocchet. Pretty pathetic. Someone like that is in serious need of attention. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks-12 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Vegas got a lot of bounces to go their way tonight despite outshooting the Canucks. 3 of 4 goals were basically lucky bounces right to their stick.

Canucks have to make their own garbage goals on some night. They didnt do it. Vegas had them on lock down mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firing Tocchet is an overreaction to a loss tonight. I get it. I'm not happy either because they lost to Vegas of all teams (I really don't like them). But Tocchet is the least of this team's issues and problems. Every team goes through swings of highs and lows. We're in one right now with some huge losses to the middle of the line up (Suter), to the backend (Soucy), and Petey looks injured (hand/wrist), and I heard Ian Cole got hurt. Those guys matter to a team where depth isn't the best. Zadorov coming in will help, but he's no saviour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: Pettersson and Miller should be on a line together. I agree. I think it's time to give Petey the same treatment Miller got at the beginning of last year. Miller was a mess to start the season so got glued to Horvat (who had a hot start) to get him going again which eventually worked. I don't know why Pettersson suddenly is ineffective, but it's clear Mikheyev and Kuzmenko are not going to get him going. Now, clearly playing Petey with Miller and Boeser hurts our depth but I think it's worth it in the long run if it gets him going. It would be really nice if Suter were healthy so we had another center option to do something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse of all there was no responds no goalie change no time out. Nothing because Tocchet is inexperience. Yeah saw there pk constant pressure or even in the d zone, can't stand still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be linking them up as a permanent fixture, but to get Pettersson going again. Pettersson is off for whatever reason and Miller and Boeser are our next two best offensive forwards. It's not working with Mikheyev and Kuzmenko right now so who else would you suggest Pettersson play with to try and get him going? This team needs Pettersson to be on to be successful, otherwise we will likely continue to operate around the .500 mark.

Smashian Kassian Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Been feeling pretty negative about the game tonight but the thing thats always given me confidence this year is Tocchet. He knows what it takes to have a championship team, and he does a great job balancing legit criticism of what we've done wrong while also not burying the guys in pointing it out. I think it goes a long way. And then he can also be a hardass when its needed. I just want to see a response from this team, its been a bit of a skid, a statement game would be nice. I'm sure Zads will have alot of $$$ on the board Saturday night, would be nice to get a big win to get our confidence back. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
