This is why I hate coming here. OTL after a 7 game winning streak and you're all ready to fire the coach, trade the core, and send the plugs down to Abby. Blow up the team, they're no good, too slow, couldn't even keep up with the lowly Kings last night. An absolute tragedy.

Get a grip you guys. It's really hard to win B2Bs under the best of circumstances, much less coming off a two week Covid break with several players in quarantine including arguably their best scorer. I'll take 3/4 points in that situation all day. If there was one game you would circle on the calendar where they would definitely take the L and move on, it would be this one. And they did. Sorta.

They at least got a point out of it, which shows some resolve, to squeeze the most out of a terrible performance in what Bieksa calls those "greasy road games". Every team has these games -- they even call them strategic losses, because going full tilt for an entire season burns everyone out and increases injuries. Just don't make it a habit (like under Green, when they would have 7 or 8 games in a row like this). Did you really expect them to go 57-0 under Bruce Almighty?

Here's a shocking prediction: They're going to lose in regulation soon. That's going to happen. It's not an if, it's a when. And there's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't mean the team is in trouble. Like Bruce said: Don't try to win every game (although it was nice while it lasted). Just win the week. 1 point over .500 every week. (~3-4 games). In two months, you're back in the playoff hunt.

So let's relax, take the OTL, and move on the Kraken on Saturday. How they respond/rebound to these types of games is more important than how they play in them. One bad loss is not the time to pull the fire alarm.

Who said to fire the coach? Holy over exaggeration.

I see people criticizing Pettersson, who has been underperforming all season, and Chaisson, who has been a disaster all season.

Do you disagree on either of those points?

What, pray tell, would you prefer people discuss following a loss?

 

[VanJack]

This game was all about 'managing your losses'. Definitely the second-best team on the night, but found a way to claw their way through to a point. Considering that both the Sharks and Flames won on the same night, it's definitely something.

Two weeks off, and then a back-to-back is going to be tough test for any team. But the Seattle game tomorrow night might be even tougher. Third game in four nights. Demko will need to be stellar again.

They need to definitely get more more their centers against Seattle. Both Miller and Pettersson had 'off-nights' against the Kings. How long is Boeser out? They definitely need a guy who'll fire more pucks on the net.

The parade down Bay Street? We're Canucks fans. We can't accept good things. We have to find the bad in everything.

This seems to be a new record. When Roger did his unbeaten streak it was with ties. OTL is literally the same thing as a tie. You still get a point.

As much as Bruce rags on the team everyone knows a back to back is a terrible thing. The whole game is planned around them. Most teams are bagged in the third so, knowing this will happen, most of the teams will try to win in the first. This was the team who's home is the Crypto.com arena's plan the way they defended and tried to goad the Canucks into pressing. That worked as LA pressed in the second and the team was literally flopping on the ice at one point. But the Canucks held on and found the energy in the third that the Kings weren't expecting and stole a point taking it to the coin toss that's OT.

They stole a point in a game they very much should have lost.

"B2b, coming off a long break, best player out, backup goalie, all expectations point to a subpar performance and a strategic L, so getting an SOL is a bonus. It happens. No worries. It means nothing. Moving right along."

 

[Sykur]

I did. He wasn't exaggerating

You were being sarcastic though. I was exaggerating for effect.

 

[StreetHawk]

"B2b, coming off a long break, best player out, backup goalie, all expectations point to a subpar performance and a strategic L, so getting an SOL is a bonus. It happens. No worries. It means nothing. Moving right along."

They won 2 shootouts and an OT win during this 7 game win streak. Play in that many close games you are bound to fall short eventually.

 

[BWJM]

Chiasson has been with JT Crosby the last couple of games and still blows chunks. Rutherford is about to axe him guaranteed.

 

[geebster]

Did that Penguins game not happen?

Oh yeah. Damnit only 9-1-1 in last 11 then

Still great tho

 

[geebster]

Surely when Boeser is back they will take him out of the lineup. The guy does nothing well at all. Like there arent even glimpses or moments where it's like "oh he handled the puck ok then successfully completed a pass!"

I have to agree, there is a core of posters here who are/were literally waiting in the blocks to vilify whichever players were on their respective shit lists or even the new coach. Second of back-to-back road games featuring the seldom used backup goalie after a two week lay off and we lose in a shootout and there are actually people who think the sky is falling. Talk of "reverting to the days of Green". Calls to get rid of some players. How long will it be before we have a dedicated hate thread about Boudreau and co.? I swear some posters here are neurotic lunatics. Guess that's what 50 odd years of losing does to a fanbase...

Almost everybody that has said something overdramatic about the loss was doing so on purpose as a joke.

Even if there are only a few negative posts in a thread, there will always a "why is this place so negative?" posts that hyperbolize viewpoints.

Every post about firing Boudreau was a joke.

There weren't any posts here about trading the core. There was a post about trading Pettersson for Barzal. Really not outlandish. Struggling 1c for struggling 1c.

There wasn't any post about sending the plugs to Abby, other than Chiasson. Which would be completely warranted. He can't skate and doesn't bring anything other than being a big body on the powerplay. Pearson does the same thing and is actually and NHL player. Their was a post form Sting101 about how Dickinson is a faster Gaunce, and we can't be paying almost 3m for that. Again another fair opinion.

 

[tyhee]

Typical of the Canucks to get cucked out of a record by a shootout, lol.

Oh well. Ecstatic with the point.

OTOH, it would be hard to complain about their ot/so record. In their 8 games under Boudreau four have now ended 60 minutes tied. The Canucks were a perfect three for three before losing the shootout last night.

Pretty sure this is the biggest hyperbole of all of them in this form.

This form has been insanely positive since Jimbo and co. left.

If seeing a few comments about trading a few players hurts you like this, then there's other hobbies out there
