Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 8 hours ago, Barnstorm said: Too few giving too much. Too many giving too little. Team seems subdivided and growing further and further apart. We we're a totally different team before the break. 6 guys all chosen out, they got front and center of the league. They got all the accolades but they didn't get the corollary nod by the refs. Stars are usually given the benefit of the doubt more often than others. Not our guys. Consequently we have to work harder to overcome weak calls. The Sedin's put up with so much crap over the years and know the level of frustration that can create. Zad gets 5 last night on a similar hit that Miller took a couple games ago, and Millers hit didn't get called. It's been deflating for the team and for the fans. And that's why I feel we're behind the 8 ball 'again' heading into the playoffs. There is definitely a US bump that we have to overcome every game. The refereeing isn't going to change but we have to maintain our composure and work our way from behind it every game. The linesman had to step in for that high sticking call on Miller last night. But that rarely happens. Otherwise the refs weren't going to call it. Smyl, Linden, the Sedin's all know this is part of what every Vancouver team has to endeavor to overcome. Same bullshit different pile. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Poor 1st no way around it... Need to start better against a Vegas team that clearly was more up for it than us to start with... Must admit, when it became 3-1, I just wanted the boys to go head hunting... I know Vegas is a tough team, but the shocking embellishment by Pietrangelo made me so angry... Its like 2011 DIVING CRAP... Seeing the refs huddle up after the high stick to Miller or after a none event off side, but a blatant dive was just accepted.. total bush league... Well they didn't so had to look for other positives, so Podkolzin is a wrecking ball and actually hits to hurt... Great to see.. Hope to see Lafferty do more as well... Starting to wonder if Putting Hogs back to 3rd or 4th line would be advantageous in order to get some scoring from the 3 and 4th line. Load up on 1st line, and then (if Lindholm is back) put Garland and Joshua together with him... Need to get some scoring going from the top lines... As for the overall concerns raised from various posters about resent losses... Yeah its not perfect, and it would be nice to start getting some wins under the belt again to grow a bit of confidence, but as have been mentioned several times already, teams tend to back off a little, once they clinched their playoffs spot. Still think the boys could have been done with the rest instead of participating in the circus show ASG...it is, what it is... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same bullshit different pile. Mic drops... thank you... have the same feeling time and time again... Not moaning about missed calls, just when it seems very one sided... 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 Next year don't vote the Canucks into the all-star game. Let them rest for a week. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 4 hours ago, canuck73_3 said: He’s never scored 40 so not a 40 goal scorer. Can’t sandbag Lindholm while propping up Kuzmenko who this season has been mediocre at best. Well that's kinda nit picky. He scored 39 with us last year, and is on a 36 goal pace with calgary. For sure he has some defensive issues, but the guy van score in the right system. I totally get why we traded him, and Lindholm definitely seemed like the last piece of the puzzle, but don't run down Kuzzy just because. Clearly the guy can score.

Nucker67 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Can you imagine having to pay almost $700 to watch that train wreck? Well, that's the price in 2 weeks. I give the Canucks 5 games. Doesn't matter who they play. They look horrible, not going to candy coat it. Blame all around. Pettersson has become such a disappointment since the All Star break. If he was really injured, they would be resting him for the playoffs. Not like they're battling for a playoff spot. Nope, Petey is sulking folks.

Would love to restart that game and have him cover the puck.... man he is horrible with giving up rebounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breadnbutta Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Have any of you seen Pettersson? Do we need to start putting his face on 11.6 million dollar milk cartons? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breadnbutta Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 hours ago, J-23 said: I hope we just go to something like this. Pettersson - Miller - Boeser Garland - Lindholm - Joshua Hoglander - Blueger - Podkolzin Mikheyev - Suter - Lafferty I like that a lot If the lotto line can get back to form and josh and garl drag lindy into the fire ... This could work very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the rebound, there's going to be a rebound on a save like that (a fantastic save btw), but the recovery? Ugh. I don't think Cole should be in when it's a healthy lineup, but he did nothing wrong on that goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 3 hours ago, Guadeloupe Jones said: 13-10-3 since the ASG. Team isn’t the same. No sense in keeping the rose colored glasses on. A first round exit is happening unless they get it fixed fast. You don’t just turn it on come game 83. Petey where you at? Power play where you at? Bottom 6 where you at? Thankfully Quinn and JT are still showing up most nights. i still believe though. Perhaps it’s the wake and bake session I just engaged in that gives me that belief . -Guadeloupe Jones How about Beer Goggles ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but.. you haven't done it if you haven't done it. That's what records are all about. Otherwise we'd have at least 3 (Just About Won The) Stanley Cups. It was tremendous management to pick up a free agent, fluff him up, and trade him for what we needed. Endy Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 -if Z's hit was sooo bad, then why wasn't Howden in the quiet room for half a period? -on the goal that Hughes 'fell' at the blue line... if you look closely, the Knight player hooks huggie's arm and twists him causing him to fall... blatant interference. -I've noticed a lot of sticks either being broken by the other team or being held, these are not being called as often as they should be. -Sutherland is and always has been a joke. Being from our area, he's probably trying to overcompensate to not show favoritism. Easy solution is he never works one of our games. ( or fire his a$$) -remember the Oilers have 3 back to back sets in the next 3 weeks, while our only one is tonight. -In MY opinion, our only REAL worry come playoffs, is the inconsistency of the reffing as I feel that we CAN beat ANY of the Pacific teams in a 7 game series. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaguez Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 8 hours ago, Pears said: One bad game after an 8-3-1 stretch and all the trolls come out celebrating in the streets. I think the bigger issue is that of the losses, they've all been against teams that we would see in the playoffs. This wasn't a good effort and it hasn't been a good effort the last 4 games. We won the game vs the Ducks but it wasn't a well played game. Instead of tightening things up this team is only tightening their grip on their sticks. Bottom 6 has been horrible, top 6 has been worse somehow. Everyone has to find their top game and right facking meow. I'd think about putting our third line back together and running the lotto line out again. Lindhom, with Hoglander & Podkolzin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's less than 10 games left, and there's 3 back-to-backs in their schedule? Not that I care about the Oilers, but man, whoever does the scheduling for the NHL needs to be replaced.

AnotherCanucksFan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 10 hours ago, Coconuts said: I dunno, our record last month was solid but we haven't looked dangerous over this past stretch The way they've been playing Edmonton may very well catch us, which is wild considering how they started the season I think they were 12 and now they're 5 pts behind us.It's very possible they could catch us. Apparently we could go 4-3 and they could go 8-1 and we'd still win the Division. Edited April 3 by AnotherCanucksFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
