Not a chance in the world the Canucks win a game like that if Green was still behind the bench. An 0-1 deficit almost always became an 0-3 hole.
But the Canucks got their legs under them for the last two periods and were clearly the better team on the night.
Next up are the Kings and Kraken.....two winnable games......Boudreau going for the record!

Unfair Huggy Bear
Miller is just an absolute animal. We had better get a big haul for him at the deadline, I don't see how we can possibly resign him.
Gutted it out. At times it looked like pre-season with all the missed passes and flubbed chances and certainly no classic. However, thought the Canucks were the better team and had to overcome some sketchy play by the AHLers on the team. Loss of Fowler could be huge for Ducks and big help to teams chasing them.
Good
Demko - another solid game wonder if they use back to back.
Hughes - playing with so much more maturity. Only taking what they give him which is so much different than last season
OEL - thought he moved puck up from the back well and smart play away from the puck. Good job around the front of his net.
Schenn - another who played well around his crease and was good on the PK
Garland - could criticize his finish but he was creating chance after chance.
Pearson - crucial goal and crucial defensive play in OT. Another good two way effort.
Not so Good
Dowling - never got in the play all game. Just baggage. Has looked very weak since his injury.
Poolman - can't get the puck out of his zone. Chasing the play. Can't play a pinching system with him. Can't get on the man fast enough a or get back fast enough. Looking like another very poor FA pick up by Benning
Dickson - looked frankly terrible on the PK which I thought was what he was brought into help. His clearances are pathetic being little more than passes to the other team's point. Also thought he was weak along the boards. Showed hustle at times but does nothing with the puck.
Others
Miller - OK he won the game and did get better as the game went on. However, he was real poor for two periods with brain dead passing and awful turnovers in his zone. Always seems to come off any break poorly
Horvat - another who was slow and sluggish for two periods and screwed up some excellent set ups but got better late in the game. Like Miller loses his edge skating wise with any lay off. Should have scored in this game
Hoglander - real strong start and created some turnovers in the first. Was a little in and out of the play as the game went on. Podkolzin was sort of the opposite. Not so strong start but better late.
Myers - ok but got to looking clumsy at times and forced into turnovers. Fall off from play before the break
Pettersson - trying but back to being hesitant and too slow to take advantages of situations. Is not playing well off the puck and lacks anticipation. Seems to be floating around and then surprised when the chances come. Giving an effort defensively but team was often in trouble in their end when he was out. Still think we are waiting to see this player get his head fully into the game.
Game like this exposes the lack of depth on the team. Any injuries and we have to go with players who are really not NHL players. If the team had retained some of those second and third rounders or done better in using impending free agents to pick up drafts or good depth pieces the team would be a much stronger position. Spilt milk under the bridge but still a pity.

Reminds me of the old Garrett quote which went something like
"I just came from the Canucks dressing room and Pavel's groin has never felt better"
E: Err, I think it was Larschied, not Garrett.
Petey is not going to get traded because of 1 bad season lol. Yall need to give your heads a shake. There will be a roster shake up I agree, but it won't be Petey.
