Exactly if one D is all it takes to derail this team that's an ugly sign, heck looking at Florida they went 11-5-1 without Ekblad and Montour. Canucks would be competing with SJ if they lost Hughes or Hronek for any extended time. No excuses tonight the Nucks need to win this game.

I think Suter missing is really messing the lines up as well.  He has been so good and it is noticeable when he is out.

[DownUndaCanuck]

Well needless to say a loss here and the sky is falling. Should be an easy 4-1 win but the Sharks might surprise us and we're a tired bunch right now. Have to use this as an easy way to get back on track, almost like a training session.

Yeah, the defense has been noticeably worse lately. Suter and Soucy seem to make a difference. A bit worrying that's all it takes to break the systems though.

[DeNiro]

Canucks fans put so much importance on every win and loss. Like every outcome will somehow be season defining. 

 

Never change!

[Rocket-68]

Let's play a game, anyone know who this Canuck is? Found this on a FB feed and don't recall the other jersey (WHL) perhaps but that isn't a Canucks WHL jersey. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will correct me.

Literally, every GDT this season I've seen either "This is a must win", "Biggest Game of the season", "This is such a big game" lol

Bro

This is the most important game of the year. 

And then the next one is the most important because we play the Avs and is a true test of where we are at. Also Hughes vs Makar. 

And then Seattle game is most important because it's a revenge game and we need to show we are better than them

 

Lol if only the players could get up for every game like this.

yeah it's absurd. the only reason the team "must win" is to prevent their hysterical fanbase from melting down after every loss.

I’m in a chat group with some buddies who do the same thing. We will lose games. It’s inevitable. Some people just can’t accept that. Like that Calgary game. It was 100% a schedule related loss followed up by the Seattle game that was 100% bad calls (the first goal that started offside that led to an icing which led to a mad scramble to get guys off and the second high stick goal). Oh and don’t forget the non tripping call in OT versus the Rangers! Shit happens. We need to just move on!

Looks like a FREE win and FREE shutout game!

While I'm joking around, I do think this game is very important. We lost our last 2 and not squandering a game against a bottom feeding team and getting back on track is what good teams do. I would genuinely be concerned if we don't play well tonight. And when I say well, I obviously mean win but also play with attention to detail and become more businesslike again as we have gotten away from that starting the Sens game. 

[Nucker67]

Canucks talking about how the wins early in the season will make a difference later. A loss against the Sharks here could also really hurt them down the stretch too. They must win these very winnable games. 

 

I think the Canucks will win this game, 'cause they're a better team. But saying that, VAN is better than SEA and CGY, so who knows.

Losing for 53 straight years will do that. Just win 1 Cup and all will be well.

we use to call those "fair weather fans", and then later "bandwagoners".

We lost to Calgary because of the schedule. They were spent after defeating the Islanders in a big game where our ex captain was here. To follow that up in another city the very next day was too much. 
 

We lost to Seattle because of bad officiating. First 2 goals should not have counted. 
 

We will beat the Sharks. There is no question. All the zebras in the NHL won’t be able to stop our boys. They lost 2 in a row and are probably mad as hell about it!

Now people in this city are proud to be bandwagoners like it's a badge of honor.

Play hard.  Play with confidence.  But don't take them lightly.  They're an NHL hockey team and they have pride.  If we play our game, we'll have a good chance to get our mojo back.  Go Canucks Go!

Is there a Canucks logo anywhere on that lid?

 

NexGen gets both sides? 

 

I said boourns...

Is the boourns comment an intentional Simpsons deep cut because NexGen is a uranium company (and Burns owns the nuclear power plant)? If so, bravo.

He was... not great last game. Few times watching him blast into the ozone get caught up ice, flying back and then blowing by his dzone coverage net front. Was like BRO WHERE U GOIN!!? Leave the chaos to the giraffe if you want to make this team.

Doesn't help he is only 170lbs either. If you are that light then you should be performing like Huggy, if not , well you might just end up like Rathbone.
