Post-Game Talk: [GM20] Canucks lose to Avalanche | 2-5 (Hoglander & Miller) | Ref Show

[BrendanGaunce4Selke]

Overall I am happy with the way the team played. I dont think the Canucks had too much puck luck in this one.

Pettersson, Kuzmenko and Boes need to find a way to bump their slumps.

no puck luck at all and the whole 2nd period was a joke, the reffs put the whistles away completely in the third

im not reading too much into this one too much

 

[rypper]

High highs and low low lows the life of canucks fan base. Win a couple and we'll be talking playoffs again.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

i feel like this board love to rip on every player who wasnt great when the team lose

Tbh i dont think anyone had a bad game, but im probably the only one here who think that

 

[BrendanGaunce4Selke]

For who? I just got back from seeing Napoleon and didn't watch. The whole team?

just an overreaction, there are people in here saying we are ruining our draft pick by winning

 

[MS]

Nothing from this game suggests we couldn't hang with the Avs in a 7 game series. Would have liked more from a couple of our best players, but a bounce or two goes our way we take this game. Satisfied with the effort, disappointed not to get a point.

Yeah, nothing wrong with that performance really.

Played a very good team - who have been on fire lately - level on the road, could have had a different result with a few breaks in a bit of a weird game.

They need to get Pettersson sorted. He’s just not right.

 

[Nomobo]

Banked enough points so we don't have to win games like this. But felt they were handily better than the Avs.

For sure, this wasn’t a 5-2 game.

 

[Hansen]

For who? I just got back from seeing Napoleon and didn't watch. The whole team?

Just at the end. Gave up for the last 30 seconds and stood behind the net

 

[andora]

jeez ... fans eh? hehe..

boeser is fine for now, he's working and battling, IT'S THERE.. line needs a jolt.
hoglander is fine in his deployment - his deployment is why he is playing good - that is the stage he's at
mikheyev needs to go with laffery and hoglander and just forecheck

 

[Peen]

to be honest i thought the team played pretty well.

the garland beauvillier joshua bluerg group continue to not actually be productive but create chances

hoglander/lafferty continue to be productive and fun to watch

i thought kuzmenko played a good game today and i don't get the complaining. mikheyev eh, pettersson really, really bad. like i said, 2021 emil pettersson / WD linden vey vibe type game today.

miller continues to play really well. boeser has really quieted and so has PDG in terms of being noticeable on the forecheck.

i thought juulsen was fantastic honestly. probably the best D tonight. Myers was ok. Cole just had too many old man getting tired moments. Hughes I thought was just whatever. Not good, not bad. And I think I lean towards the "i think we should be careful about this hronek extension" contingent because I'm not an overly huge fan? but i'm also a hypocrite because i'm a firm believer in just getting top four d and that fans or management overthink it and then you end up trading john marino or something

the tldr of this is that the team needs two more D and another big, energy guy with some scoring prowess.. and pettersson to pettersson again

 

[kanucks25]

A notch?

We are a .500 team since the loss to Toronto.

Okay? So you're basing your comment off the last 7 (random number?) games because why exactly?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Im probably alone on this island but

I actually dont think Petey and his line had a bad game, pretty decent actually just no puck luck

Obviously you expect better from Pettersson

Because he lives in a perma rain cloud sipping coffee out of a perpetually half empty glass.

 

[canuckking1]

Canucks forward group is built around a two-headed monster offensively and only one of them is going. When Pettersson isn't going you see a trickle down effect to other players like Kuze

 

[Bobby9]

Piss Poor Petey is back. Falling on his face every shift.

Fan boys won’t accept it but despite somehow having so many points dude is straight ass the last little while.

 

[mriswith]

Hronek gave up 30 seconds before the game ended and just sat behind the net with the puck until it ended.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Pettersson stubbornly playing through injuring or whatever he's going through is going to cost him millions. He can argue all he wants about points but the 8M Miller is outplaying him by a damn mile right now.

Okay? So you're basing your comment off the last 7 (random number?) games because why exactly?

Because it's JC. He has to weight everything towards the negative. While yes, we've been noticeably worse lately, our last ten is 6-4-0.

 

[Bonham]

Actually thought they played well for the most part.

Still prone to some soft mistakes that are frustrating to watch at times. Becoming apparent that there is still quite a bit of dead weight to be cleared from the roster.

Defense is going to be paper thin if Friedman and/or Myers are still out by next game.

 

[LordBacon]

Someone open up the tank thread

 

[Flik]

Disappointing ending but we played a relatively decent game overall. I felt we carried the play for good chunks of the game and all respect to the Avs, Georgiev made some spectacular saves to keep them in it and they counter punched us when it mattered.

 

[kanucks25]

I think you can blame puck luck when like proven 30-40 goal scorers go on a cold streak.

It's a different story when guys like PDG, Beau, Joshua, etc. are flubbing good chances.

That's not a luck issue, that's a skill issue.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Piss Poor Petey is back. Falling on his face every shift.

Fan boys won’t accept it but despite somehow having so many points dude is straight ass the last little while.

It's not fanboying when I trust his talents and know that he's trying to playthrough something

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Wish we were facing them again sooner than February. Would love to see the next tilt in a week or two.

EP was a beat behind and falling everywhere. Kuz has played some of his best hockey 3 of the last 4 games, and carried that on tonight. Dam hopefully breaks soon. Mikheyev was okay.

Would like to see that line shuffled. Probably take Mikheyev off and try someone else there.

 

[Petey O]

Because it's JC. He has to weight everything towards the negative. While yes, we've been noticeably worse lately, our last ten is 6-4-0.

I still don't understand why this is not treated as trolling/baiting in GDTs and punished accordingly. You only see certain posters when the team loses.
