Post-Game Talk: [GM4] Canucks lose to Lightning | 3-4 (Boeser, Myers, & Miller | .500 Hockey Club

[credulous]

The team needs to take a serious look at its lack of generation of offensive opportunities. We won’t always play weak goaltending like the Oilers have.

Garland, Beauvillier, Suter and Joshua are all passengers right now

When 33 percent of your towards are ineffective, you will have a problem scoring

Add in 2 putrid defenders in Myers and Juulsen and we are in some serious trouble

they really need a top line forward. particularly if kuzmenko is going to suffer a sophomore slump

boeser, pdg, mikheyev and kuzmenko isn't a good enough top 6 if you want to pretend to be a serious team

Tyler Myers baby

Tyler Myers doesn't like April hockey.

I just don't know how you can keep Cole/Myers together right now or how much longer it can last. I know Myers takes all the heat (and deserves 90% of it) but Cole hasn't been great the last two games either. Worth trying something different, at least.. if not now then by the weekend if their play continues.

I mean, do you really want to play him with Hughes or Soucy creating a legit match-up nightmare? They're in tough and don't have a lot of options. Cole is probably the best baby-sitting option.

Myers shot

What happened? I (luckily) missed the game yesterday. From reading the reviews from MS and Orcatown, sounded like EP was really bad yesterday.

And the PK lines.

@Bgav is banned from making gdt’s

Hopefully the pettersson is just a precaution

He got hit with a hard Myers' shot, but it was later in the game and he was just as bad before that happened.

Myers shot the puck right at him

Atleast one top 6 winger, preferably a top liner, and atleast one top four dman, preferably a top pairing one. Not easy but those are the holes that need to be addressed to be a serious team.

Honestly, I just want to see a game where the team comes out and plays a complete game. Limit high scoring chances against, generate meaningful offense while playing smart and sound hockey.

Lose a tight 4-2 or 3-2 game where shots and possession numbers are equal? No biggie.

Now, if they come out and fail to respond after yesterdays effort -where they get horribly outshot while bleeding high scoring chances against...Then yeah, f*** this team and the core group. Would probably be a harbinger of a mediocre season ahead.

Absolutely agree. I am attending this one with my family and all I'm hoping for after yesterday's debacle is an honest effort.

Would hate to witness in person what I saw last night on my t.v. Just give it an honest effort and for the love of God start your first line on the opening face off.

Also press box Myers but since that's not going to happen at least limit his toi.

Dreamt last night that I stole John Shorthouses car and had his wife and the police after me. Don't really know what kind of omen that is

 

[canuckking1]

Myers single handily sinking the team.

Myers single handily sinking the team.

If he actually injured EP40 with that shot, this is almost an understatement.

That so funny lol, I was dying at the replay

That’s a pretty big burden to put on someone.

Especially if we’re just assuming here

Myers shot

What shot? When?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

From what I saw of the Philly game, the Canucks didnt have their skating legs...It was a collective loss..Singling out two or three players isnt why they lost the game.

The Flyers were skating circles around the Canucks from the opening whistle..I'm at a loss as to why the team didnt have the energy..It could have been the hard practice the day before..?, but i'm not convinced....Would Tocchet tearing a strip off the team make a difference.?....I'm not convinced.

 

[Flik]

I think these next two games will tell us a lot about how the rest of the year is gonna go. We should be able to beat both the Lightning and Panthers and should be highly motivated to do so after that last no-show.

Myers needs to be launched from a cannon into false creek
