You spent 10 minutes flirting with the grocery store cashier?

How many groceries did you have?

lol. Express lane number of items.

And i'm pretty sure she was just bored because the store was basically empty. But she kept chatting and she was cute so...i obliged... :dunno:


But i reiterate...as pointless a waste of time as that entire period of Canucks hockey.

Well, despite our best effort, we are not losing yet.

No attempt to keep possession during a change, just dump-change-get hemmed in-dump-change-get hemmed in.

Players are bobbling pucks all over, few clean breakout passes.

Where is the forecheck that got us here? It had us dominate game 5, wake the f*** up boys.

at this point, even if we somehow win, it would be ugly against Dallas.

Hughes is clearly injured, Miller clearly worn down. Petey not in top form, Demko injured.

Dallas is like praying Vancouver wins, will be one of the most lopsided WCF in history.
It is not like the Oilers are that great either. Proven by the fact they could still lose to the Canucks here

That's why I feel Owen Wilson is wearing a Canucks jersey since I believe he's from Texas.

You never know though. We got outplayed in the first, you get through this game and who knows what happens.

I need to know what injuries Hughes has. He dominated from game 1 to 82, now against the poor EDM D, he's a ghost of himself. That is the biggest shock. The only reason is a severe injury.
He didn’t look bad against Nashville either in Game 1 and making they move on Nyquist. This series he’s struggling.

Injuries are an easy excuse. Could be that he's just run out of gas.

Playing to not lose is such a bitch strategy. Game 5 they pushed the pace and dominated. How can you watch that and then coach like this.

It's amazing that it's still 0-0, wipe that first off their memory, only 40 left of the season, show urgency, Tocchet show why you deserve that Adams. Psych them up, find the right combos. Let's go!!

Not sure what he's supposed to do when the entire forward corps is one and done in the OZone?

This team's D is getting worn out because they have no forecheck.

It would suck to go out on such a sour note. If you're going to lose, at least go down swinging. Playing scared to make a mistake will only guarantee victory. Tocchet needs to work some magic between periods because the team looks a step behind on every play.

As terrible as that period was, it was still good to see Petey engaged. Garland looked good. We're keeping them to the outside. Lots of room for improvement, but we can't expect Silovs to keep this up. It's step up or shut up time! Let's go!! 👊🏼

They need to start throwing the puck on net and.hope for a lucky bounce. It's not rocket science. Thet have no momentum right now, can't control the offense at all in the zone, how do they expect to get a nice clean goal?

Tocchet need to adjust on the fly. I know he wants the team to hold on and look for the perfect play, because he thinka holding the puck also means less possession for the opposition. Which means defense in a sense.... But that strategy isn't working out here.
