TheGuardian Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Don't blame Myers, blame the coaches. 5 on 5 Myers is one of the best in the league this year so far. Myers big weakness, apart from plain getting older and slower, is playing on the PK. The coaches know Myers is not good on the PK but put him out there anyway. Why? So the simple fans have something to blame other than the fact the team is just not that good or has big problems still. Look how all the simple fans have fallen into line following the created narrative of "Blame it on Myers" without looking at a deeper cause for team, TEAM failure. Did one of you posters bother to look for yourself as to a deeper reason why he was in those positions to begin with? Why was that puck there in the first place? Why was there no outlet pass available? Where were the other Canuck penalty killers? (2, Outside the blue line), Why didn't Cole go towards the net when there was 3 Tampa players in front of Demko, on a PK? So a bad pass causes Demko to rim the puck, Cole fumbles the pick up and leaves Myers the ONLY Canuck behind with three Tampa players and Demko. Really look at the replay but also why Demko is playing the puck. Where are all the PK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I haven't made any such insults as to the physical born abnormalities to my knowledge to any player. If I did, then I apologize for that. I have rediculed players for their lack of effort and/or skill. Edited October 20, 2023 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen Water Walker Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Man I love this site, the mole hills turning to mountains around here are epic. The Canucks scored 3 goals most nights and especially mid to late season that is usually enough to win. A team with new players starting to gel against a powerhouse veteran team of cup champions and they lost by one goal. The team is at 500 hockey with less than 5% of the season gone. Remember last years start? The last three years most people on the band wagon would have been cheering Just saying, GCG 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 So what about when we were calling players Honey Badger etc. Or Huggy Bear. Is that offensive? I've seen lots of Large/Tall/Bruising football players nicknamed "Moose". Should they get offended? I think we have a member here called Honking Hronek, Angry Goose. Etc. What if he got nicknamed "Captain Chaos". Would that be ok? Should I get offended if a girl ghosts me unexpectedly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hockey performance combined with a high salary that people are angry about. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kettlevalley Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 So...... We buy out OEL, We Bring in Soucy and Cole and now Freidman and we STILL haven't fixed the defence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likely isn't a player we plan to use on the NHL roster for long and never was. There's a reason the talk of Canucks kicking tires on upgrades at D haven't died down. But yes, it's almost like buying out a top 4 D wasn't a fix for a team that needs top 4 D. What we should have done is what I said last year, just offload as many players for picks as possible last year and this year, two drafts many consider deep. Done a mini rebuild where we try walk outta 2023 and 2024 with at least four 1st and 2nd rounders, combined. Wait out the Beau and Myers contracts. Then use those cap hits to try snag some pieces in 2024 free agency. Instead of the shortsighted buyout of OEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Over the last two - years there have been some that at times criticized JT for things like drifting slowly back to the bench and staying out too long. I have not seen much if anything resembling that this young season whatsoever.. Looks completely invested. Hope others are taking note. I saw a few players overstaying their shifts by 30 -35 seconds or more. Haven't heard Rick say too much about it; Maybe he shoud. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Drunce is defending him. I don't think he's the worst as you can see from the underlying numbers he's not playing all that bad overall, the issue is the mistakes he does make are catastrophic and ones someone of his experience should not be making. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, every second Petey doesn't have the puck on his stick is offensive opportunities wasted. Petey must be the play driver on his line. I see Garland out there ragging the puck like the puck hog he is in a line with Petey, what's Tocchet thinking that's a recipe for success? Put Garland on his own line on the 3rd line and give Petey a north/south digger winger. Garland isn't that. I'd like to see Lafferty with Petey and Kuzy. As long as Lafferty knows what his role is. Beauvillier needs to sit out when Mikheyev comes back. He needs to find his urgency, it's non existent right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
