Coryberg Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Sucks to lose to the leafs. Can't wait to hear all the Toronto media spin this for the next week as "the leafs are the best team in the league". However if the canucks are going to give 2 points away its best that they give them to the eastern conference.

I expect the team to continue improving throughout the year. It’s part of why I’m not super concerned about statistical regression. We’ve built a little bit of a cushion. When the team fully gels (they’re on their way) under RT they won’t have to fight their way out of a hole. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mando27 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Just caught the highlights it's hard to pin this loss on anyone, the whole team looked off. Canucks need to regroup and get on to the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GasThomas Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 The giraffe did it again. Make us losing the momentum. They can't make mistake like he did. It would cost points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 From the opening of the 2nd we were just not sharp. Mental errors all over. Soucy couldn't clear it when he usually does we get trapped, gets their 2nd goal (Demko should have hugged his left post there, got caught out a bit). 3rd goal we got caught in transition off a Cole shot, Gregor comes in and Demko wants that one back for sure, Fried was meh, Kuz needed that back check more, we usually get that stop but looked a bit sloppy. I think we got caught playing offense on that goal, not good idea on the road. 4th goal Huggy fumbled it out from behind right into our crease, was a gimme gift goal. Petie and Kuz not alert defensively on that one. 5th goal was a fourth line goal, Demko was screened and they get a pin ball bounce into our net. I think we lost all the wind from our sails by that time. Their 4th line out hussled us for that 5th goal. They came at us hard early in the 2nd and stole our momentum in those first few minutes. We have to steely up to keep that lead. Our road game will get better as we go forward I'm sure. I'm sure the coaches will reset them for tonight. Go Canucks GO!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 As a fan of this team, I feel a need to hold my breath and "hang on" now for another win. It's too close to hitting a skid when play drops off and we have a loss that seems like we were scrambling and sloppy out there at times. The all too familiar "uh oh, here we go" resurfaces (unfounded or not). I hope they reel it in and don't fall into bad habits...I can't be confident until I see them rebound and regain the form that we've seen in a few games. It's like we're on the cusp but can be pushed over to either side. I hope the team doesn't relax with a bit of a point buffer in place...that would be disastrous because it's early on and other teams can easily catch fire (and catch them). Pedal to the metal boys. I hate anxiety and what if's. Go Canucks Go...I believe in you, but no time to "settle" in with comfort and complacency. Or hit the panic button. Regroup, listen to the coaches and do what works. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 3 Reasons the Canucks Lost 1. Demko wasn't good 2. Pettersson wasn't good 3. Joshua got his ass kicked by old man Gio and that fired up the Leafs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 When the Leafs scored their last goal, I had to turn the channel and get on with my night. I can't stand getting beat by Toronto. No sense getting stressed though. Back at it today ... need our stars to be stars. Can't let too many games slip away if we want to make the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up 2-1 after the first and were out shooting them 12-4. Both Joshua and Cole did very good things in the opening frame Was a disjointed game and Demko didn't bail us out. On to the next. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-19 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I felt we got out-coached. Clearly Toronto made some adjustments especially to their PK after the first intermission. Unfortunately we didn't adjust accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua and the Coledozer delivered 2 text book hits and drew penalties Those 2 goals were imperative, too bad we wasted them. Who cares about nit picking the fights. Joshua and Cole always show up which is what you want. Especially taking Gio out of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
