You literally believe it is all about work ethic.  That is ridiculous. They are high level professionals. They aren't children.  

 

They want to win the game. Nobody wants to lose the game. Winning is way less taxing than losing. The no work ethic theory makes zero sense. 

So this team that had 12 shots barely almost 10 after 40 put in the same work ethic as the team that almost shut out mc D game 1 And had jump everywhere on the ice, and frustrated two of the best players in the league? So let me try this.. Children? So only adults have work ethic? And Hockey players always do? Is that your theory? The coach said this today ;

Literally a comment of a coach saying we got on our high horse and fell back down to earth today! 

Stop making excuses!

[DrJockitch]

Mik can’t get back soon enough.
Garland bouncing off other players is almost comical, where did the viciousness go?

Beau could use some time in the press box. He looked really poor last 2.

Whats worse is when we blame one defensive player when we were outshot 42-25. Myers played enough you noticed him. Where was Soucy

Myers wasn’t noticed for any of the right reasons, friend

It's bad habits like this. And taking 2/3rds of a game off, and losing points to a team that you should beat that bothers me.

I said it a few games ago - back in the pre-season that Juleson is not ready for the NHL.  he made ton's of mistake in preseason and is doing the same now.  Thankfully with the acquisition of that new RHD today - you can bet he'll be punted down to the farm.

I think Juulsen could be a 6/7 D but he Def is in over his head. Myers should be riding the 3rd RHD spot until he's traded or expired... somethings gotta give.

His honesty and sincerity is refreshing, and you can see his frustration is genuine.

Zero coaching adjustment. Even worse display of reffing.

 

Why on god's green earth was no timeout used for the canucks in the 2nd period? 

 

Because Demko was playing the lights out to keep the team in the game? Tocchet must've been hoping the skaters will eventually find their legs and start pushing back for their goalie, if nothing else.

 

... And then they just quit playing.

We will never win anything under this fucking management. They will fucking blame the coach again. It’s how they roll.

 

Fucking tools.

We need new ownership - That has been the problem with this franchise for over a decade now.

Yeah but Soucy and Juuleson got the -1. Myers was putting in the top work.

[Goose]

I bet we see Aman back in the near future. Never have to worry about his effort.

Better than 8.5x8. 

Yeah and get that straight, it wasn't a big cap dump, it was an undersized cap dump.

Beau doesn't make this team harder to play against, that a contract that needs to go even more than Garland. Package a pick and bring in a RD, Myers needs to play 14 mins tops

Myers needs to be a healthy scratch that never dons the Canucks jersey again. 

I hope Friedman eats up most of Myer's ice time.  Myer's shouldn't be playing more than 9 sheltered mins a game.

Myers was terrible tonight, 4 + big mistakes

No they backed off because Petey got hit by Deslauriers and no one stepped up.

Then Deslauriers hit Hughes twice and not one canuck did anything.

Game over. Done.

[Rip The Mesh]

sorry!

Myers shouldn’t be playing.

Hopefully that 2nd period is the low point of the season

I agree on Myers but Beau and Galand are both garbage. Garland has no finish what so ever. Skates around with puck few spins shoots wide. Terrible defensively and not worth his salary. 

 

I will say Garly has a motor and tries however...

2 games in a row allowing 40+ shots against... not a good look boys tighten it up!!!

 

We all loves ya and root for ya... 38 yrs old fan since 1992 and ya ain't making it easy on me. Cmon!!!!! Let's be tough to play against win or lose every night make em go to war!! 

 

Make guys pay for what they take!!

Shots against is reflective of the team not holding on to the puck and making plays.   They played boring dump in hockey tonight.  They couldn't break the puck out of their own zone.  They were just giving the puck back to the other team all night long.

And that reflects on the players playing the game how?

Bitching about it isn't going to do anything. Until A) The Aquas want to sell, or there's a price they can't refuse. B) Then you need investors with very deep pockets.

So instead of being a snivelling coyote. Go do something positive and try to get some multi millionaires together and make a bid.

Or just have some cheese with your whine.

C'mon you guys/gals.  One game isn't going to brake this team.  All your panicking is delighting the

trollers and haters around here.  Take a deep breath and have some faith in these guys.

Let's see how things look by game 10.    4-2 would have seemed pretty awesome after 6 games.   2-1 it's not over yet.    Bad game.   Put it behind and prepare for the next one.

no one is giving you a RD for beau and a pick.. no one would even take beau and a pick right now for no return the way he's played thru 3 games
