Walk in the park for them with that matchup. Might have fared better of we took on Oilers in the first round when everyone is relatively healthy. Either way the way we played in the playoffs kind of did us in ourselves with fatigue and injuries. I think Edmonton has the approval of the NHL this year because honestly the NHL has been officiating us terribly the whole time the Nashville series and now the Edmonton series they don’t want us to get anywhere in the playoffs… They’re probably afraid of the riots or something… But we are definitely a better team than Edmonton no problem we killed them during the regular season… If we were totally healthy we would roll over them no problem and five games or maybe even sweep them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_AM_CANUCKIAN Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) It took me a long time to even get out of bed today after that loss. That being said, I eventually did. Tough loss, but a tough loss... A very tough loss... I'm so super proud of our boys! Stuck with it till the end! Let's reset and dominate next year. Go Canucks Go! I'll probably check out for a while until everyone stops going scorched earth. Go Canucks Go! Edited May 21 by I_AM_CANUCKIAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, the comments to the media is really window dressing. Yes. Imo Tocchet is playing the media. He doesn’t say anything that will feed into their next controversy. The less negative story lines the better for the players. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 49 minutes ago, Nucker67 said: I appreciate your honesty with the harsher comments, which might not be popular, but I agree for the most part. Petey has struggled big time since the all star break. It was his first "real" playoffs and if he was playing hurt, then I'll give the benefit. But if there was no injury, then it is very concerning. Petey's (and soon to be Hughes') salary (and OEL's $4.766 penalty 17 months from now) might prevent the Canucks from putting together a proper contender. Look at TOR, can't afford a better D core and goaltender, thanks to their big 4. I would be sad, but not opposed to, trading Petey for the right return to improve this playoff team. Continuing with the Swedes, Lindholm was really good in these playoffs, excellent centreman and pk. I hope we can keep him. Why was Rod Brindamores team the one that showed the most interest in Petey if he sucks so much ? The Detroit team with Zetterberg , Lidstrom and Datsuck show that the whole cant win with Swedes and Russians was complete tripe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we did was play it safe which bit us I wouldn’t even call it playing safe. They set themselves up to fail by endlessly throwing the puck away and having to resume defending. I have no idea why that went on for the better part of two periods. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicted Nashville to win, and of course the Oilers would demolish us quickly. Now that Edmonton has won, he and his eastern media cohorts are patting themselves on the back how right they were about Canucks being garbage. i changed the channel once he was on. will go back after that segment is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta move there, potentially a series-costing mistake having him in that spot if he's not willing to engage & do the netfront job. Deguiseppy had some good looks in the third - as well as the perpetually snake bitten Mik… The door was open for us to come back for sure - we just didn’t get it done… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post igorwasgreat Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 Our window is just opening a crack , we sniffed the fresh air that is the playoffs. With Rutherford and Alvin I am pretty happy with the trajectory we are heading, I am hoping we can sign who we want to in the off season. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we did was play it safe which bit us yeah it was the wrong strategy we just open the door for Edmonton to come at us wave after wave after wave it was a real head scratcher that’s for sure you’re not gonna win games if you fucking just sit there and let your opponent hit you in the face over and over again they didn’t have any shots on goal for the longest time I’m pissed off when I think about it like they come all this way play a game seven and they don’t even want to win… they don’t fucking try to score any goals until 10 minutes to go on the third. total insanity… That’s why I can’t help but think it’s a fucking script they are playing to… They played like ass game six - and it carried over onto game seven they just completely gave up after being one game away from eliminating all the Oilers they just let them take it from them We had those motherfuckers on the rope and we bent over and let them screw us up the ass… We just keeled over and give up that’s bullshit it’s a fucking script man I don’t care if I sound weird or crazy or paranoid the fact is we’re a better team and whenever we would try and turn it up we would dominate them… That’s why I don’t understand what is going on… and all the shit bias reffing that was happening… The NHL clearly wanted the Coilers to win Edited May 21 by I.AM.THE.WALRUS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny because so was the 97-98 Wings! Anyone who knows Konstantinov (including Holland) knew that he was a step ahead of Lidstrom. And we can go further back into some A-hole Russians for sure. Edited May 21 by IBatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Yeah I’m a little stubborn but I refuse to accept the fact that the Edmonton Oilers are a better team… The Canucks are the better team… It’s just so unjust… It’s so wrong that they advanced… 54 years of Canuck history is weighing on me right now something shitty always seems to happen… Playing our 3rd string goalie, our most gifted offensive weapon isnt 100%… our Norris trophy D man is injured… our world beating 3rd line disappears… our once powerful powerplay dries up… But one year it will happen we will win the cup… I can’t help but imagine a healthy team… A healthy Canucks team steam rolling its way through the playoffs it’ll happen one day… It will… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I hope Tocchett/mgmt message going into the off season is “who are we (to think we’re anything)?” Yeah theyve made big strides, but to get to the next level its going to take a lot of willpower. imo that’s the mindset they need to harness as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckDownUnder Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 9 hours ago, Googlie said: Calder Trophy, 103 point season, on pace for 110 point season when he resigned ..... what more proof do you want? Consistency over multiple years, team leading playoff performances, etc. I think he is a huge piece and should be critical over the next couple years or so. He hasn't fully realised those yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 31 teams that would put time and effort into seeing if they could make a trade work if Pettersson was available. Recency bias and a lack of undertsanding context as well as frankly player valuations leads to a loud portion of fans and media thinking the kid is garbage or a dud. No he did not play well during the tail end of the regular season and Playoffs. He has also shown he is above a PPG in the Playoffs too in the past so not concerned. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hangry-Canuck Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 All this negative Petey talk is getting to me. The kid is 25 yrs old... not even in his prime and yall are complaining that he didn't have a good playoffs? Get a hold of your selves. The kid is going to be great and he's going to be our star for years to come. That look back at the crowd at the end of game 7 speaks volumes. He's only going to get better from here on out. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCupSyndrome Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 17 hours ago, syntheticity said: They'll try to resign him for sure, but I also think a scoring winger for Petey is a bigger priority. They really tried to make Guentzel work at the deadline. If he's a possibility in the offseason again, I'd be willing sacrifice Joshua if that allows us to afford Guentzel. Definitely need to consider it and then try and sign the next DJ. I am good as long as the defense is big (other than Hughes), I am less concerned about smaller forwards provided they work hard and can drive play offensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
