Post-Game Talk: Canucks 3, Bruins 4: Oh no, we suck again!

[geebaan]

should I ferociously cheer that we lost? Like some others have done after wins? I don't seem to see those posters anywhere either, what a coincidence.

Because tanking is the best way to make your drafting ability not matter?

If we pick 1st overall we can't screw up as badly as if we pick 25th. Even if we pick the wrong guy at #1 it's still likely to be better than picking the wrong guy at #25.

Comprende?

Plus if the team is trying for the playoffs but ending up at the bottom of the league year after year, there's a very high likelyhood that the Management gets canned.

Oh to dream.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. What happened with Miller there? All four goals looked lamentably porous.

Tired/fatigue?

Canucks second best in goal tending in this one. Better trade Miller while we can.

Thought Hutton was tragic. All he could do in most situations was scramble the puck out and lot of times couldn't even do that. If you had a competent defensemen in for him in this game, good chance the Canucks would have won.

Didn't think much of Chaput in this one either. Inner AHL game emerged in this one. Trying hard but mostly spinning his wheels and puck in his zone for most of shifts.

To me, Sutter and Horvat were best forwards and Stecher excellent in the mid ice and offensive ends.

Thinking Boucher in the right situation might be a helpful player. Very solid on his skates and you can see the quickness in his release.

Agree with those who criticize WD personnel decision late in the game. Got to have Horvat out.

He's played really well, other shoe dropped today. He saved tryamkin' bacon in the first or second period though.

Pastrnak is better than over half the Canucks team, if not all.

What's depressing is we drafted two players ahead of Pastrnak.

 

[JuniorNelson]

You can't blame Miller for the powerplay. It was laughable in the first.

WD should be gassed but that has been true for a long time.

Top line looked less than special. I think this is key. What a ladies line! Shame!

Tomorrow they will have weaker goaltending.

That too. I'd love to see what Bo could do with first PP minutes.

A Bruins fan huh....do you have Willie's twitter account?....maybe you can tweet him about the possibility of playing his "beast of a player" in the last minute of game when he needs a goal to tie.

And while you're on this board, what's the story with Julien?....Is he a guy who could turn our sad-sack team around?....has to be an upgrade over Willie.

I saw that stat..1 shift in last 3 mins of the game..every time Horvat was on the ice he created stuff and can't believe he wasn't out there...good for Bruins...not for Nucks. Did any of the media ask him about this?

I was a supporter of Julien and did a great job..but maybe the message ran dry after 10 years...obviously a good coach and I hear lots of complaints about Willie from my Canuck buddies here, so I guess he would have to assess the roster and determine what he could do with it.

I bet there are a few teams looking at him now

Alright, time to move over to the next GDT.
