Kragar Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Sounds like skipping today's game was a good idea. Was expecting to stream it after I got home, but I accidentally saw the score online early in the third. Figured the day was shitty enough already to not deal with any more disappointment. What BS starting at 3 on a non holiday weekday. Effing baseball, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I knew when Hansen said it in pregame we'd get bitten. We need consistency. We played great in the home opener but not as good last game and really not well tonight. Two games in a row with 40 shots against is unacceptable for a defensive minded team. Big game coming up against Tampa who want to prove themselves, this will be like a playoffs intensity type game so better come ready or it's another 40 shots against.

I thought they were gna park his butt in front of the net the last 2 min of the game. Would've been fun to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 first game for soucy i don't think he looked good.. kinda like the preseason.. neither him or myers should be playing in the top 4.. contrary to everyone that just automatically pencilled soucy into the top 4.. we need someone that can play in the top 4 and neither of them are capable.. i'd be happy they are together as a 3rd pairing.. bring hirose back up or something and play him with cole.. or try out the new guy friedman or whatever his name is.. Myers and Soucy should both be a 3rd pairing defenceman that plays PK and occasionally play up in the top 4 in a pinch.. neither of them should be a staple on the top 4.. as much as i'm not a fan of bear... might just have to sign him to a minimum deal for 1 year and plug him into the top 4 either with hughes or cole.

DSVII Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 This team at one point, chose Myers over keeping Chris Tanev. Still cant believe it. At least there's a time limit now on his tenure with the team. Onto the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RinkonRenfrew Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 i blame Myers for us scoring 0 goals. clearly, the rest of the team was so embarrassed by his play that they lost their mojo. i also think benning and the oel buyout are to blame. Gillis too. am i doing it right? Demko gave them a chance. Our skaters squandered it, and i’m sure they know it. let’s see how they respond next game before we sharpen our knives. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev was under appreciated. i also remember lots of posts here stating that spending 4 m on tanev to play 60 games a year was incompatible with being a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I just finished watching the game. The refs let Philly get away with stuff at critical points in the game. Annnnnd HOW COULD THEY TAKE THAT GOAL AWAY!! That goal counts and we would have 10 minutes to even it up. Philly should be hob nobbin the refs right now. The refs were elephant ears playing to the crowd for sure. Our guys could have been way sharper. If that goal was allowed we win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckleheads Fan Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 5 hours ago, RU SERIOUS said: What's new? This team hasn't had Pushback in years and was suppossed to be addressed even after JR pointed this problem out last year. I guess we'll have to wait! Guys who are tough, and have even a bit of talent allowing them to play a regular shift are like unicorns, and they are making bank. Even a 32-YO fourth line scrub like Deslauriers makes $1.7 per for 3 years. He played 8:47 tonight. Canucks don't have that kind of cap space, and if you want to roll four lines, you couldn't do it with your overpaid goon. Do I wish the team had a Tom Wilson type of player? Hell yes, but they are few and far between. Nobody on this team was going to challenge Deslauriers, getting your ass beat would not be the momentum shift you were looking for. I miss Burroughs, he would have challenged him. I was glad to see Juulsen stand up for a teammate. I also don't understand why Tocchet doesn't play Studnika more. Not that he's great, but after scoring last game I thought he'd see more ice time. He or Lafferty should be Petey's other winger until Mak gets back, that line is too soft with Garland on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Finally got around to watching the highlights. If you want to call them that. It got me thinking. Is Demko our Carey Price? A great goalie that won't have a lot of meaningful playoff moments cause he's been on a team run as poorly as ours for his career? He's absolutely unreal but, geez. To think he's only sniffed the playoffs once is a travesty. Yes, it's only one bad loss. But I can't help feel this pending dread. This team has proven nothing as far as being reliable, they shrink constantly. Outside of Demko. I really, really hope this isn't the norm and is just one rough game. I don't want to believe we are gonna waste Demko's prime/career. We desperately need a real 3rd line and to dump Myers. At this point waive his ass and tell him not to report to Abby. I have zero clue if that gives us cap relief, I doubt it. But sh*t man. I defended his first 2-3 seasons here, but at this point he is literally a negative. You're actively playing 4v6 when he's on the ice. Just healthy scratch him. Let him sit for a week or two. Just please stop subjecting the team and the fanbase to his garbage play any longer.

NucksRuleYou Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I fully expect Juulsen to get waived later today and Friedman called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubik Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 2 hours ago, Mr Wrong said: I went to bed after the second, at 2 am. And I am glad I did. Now a full day at work good lord. I show more commitment for this team than some player (looking at a very tall guy playing defense…). I mean let's not scapegoat Myers just like that. He wasn't on the ice when either goals happened, and last time I checked it's not his job to score. Sure, I remember one of his penalties killed our momentum quite a bit, but let's not put this game on him. It was a 2-0 game. Philly and Hart was solid and our top guys just didn't have that edge. Learn from it and move on to the next one. Which is Tampa (God help us lol) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price would be a stretch, but he could be our Gibson. Or just be our new Markstrom. Not hitting the panic button yet, but for sure can see that the "buy in" isn't going to happen overnight with this crew. We know they can be great. If we are a game above .500 after this road trip, it's actually something to build on compared to our terrible start last season. Team was flat. We've played TB before when they were flat (for them) taking a break and Vasilevsky was putting on a clinic. Happens, even to cup winners/contenders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Its a process... biggest problem last year was the PK and goalie until Demko came back. Those issues seems to have been rectified... Now we were hardly going to go through the season 82-0... Did we expect a win, yes, are we shocked we didn't? No, not on that performance... On to the next one. Onwards and Upwards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Bit of a rough one to watch, but I gotta hand it to Philly, they played a strong, tight checking shot blocking game and that, to me, was the difference. They snuffed out a lot of chances before they even got started. Didn't feel like the Canucks were overly dangerous in that one. The board battles and 1 on 1 puck battles were lost by the Canucks almost every time. Overall, a bit of a rough road game against a stout and hungry home opponent. On to the next one!

DrJockitch Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Amazing how easily this club can destroy all the positive feelings of the first week. It literally took no effort at all from 18 incredibly well paid men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorvatToBaertschi Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 If we do indeed have a flu bug around the team, you have to think that RT's decision of having a tough practice the day before an afternoon game (3 pm PST) is an abysmal one at that. Not hating on him as a coach, but I hope that's a learning point for our coaching staff. Not surprising that the player who played the best (Demko) is the one who's had a good amount of rest since opening night. We fell victim to another terrible schedule where we face teams playing their home openers more often than not. Maybe one year we won't start the season with a 5+ game road trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I missed the game, but it sounds like Tocc should send a message and scratch Myers next game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyman109 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 we wasted a very good game from our goaltender. That looked like a team that has the flu and traveled across the continent for a tough road game. Hopefully we can regroup and come out hard against Tampa. The energy level was just not there last night. Not much push back especially in the second period. 23-2 in shots? pretty tough way to win a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
