Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Blackhawks - 4-1 (Dickinson, Pearson, Boeser, Garland)

[Billy Kvcmu]

Still not encouraged . Win is a win but they got outplayed badly by the hawks at points . I just struggle to see an identity for this team

Travis Green is their identity
In a nutshell “Chiasson over podkolzin +replacing Boeser on PP1”

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I noticed this as well and his outlet passing has been excellent. Him and Myers have actually been a really good top4 pair to this point. Would be nice if half the top6 could get their games out of the gutter. We might have something

There was a particular play I remember strongly, the lotto line was cramped in for over a minute until OEL smartly lift the puck off the glass and out of the play when he had the chance.

The Hirsch misfire. Never heard John Shorthouse upset like this before.

Was so awkward live…idk why he got so mad!

Holy fuuuuuuuuck the cringe

I’ve been banging the Poolman drum since before we signed him. Really stoked with the start he’s had and that he’s making some fans.

Yes when you consider the 3.4 million cheaper in AAV compared to Schmidt the trade off has been pretty good.

I'm struggling to get over this. Can't believe he said this and tried to tie Shorthouse into it on live television. Like, I can't even think about the game at all.

Lets just pretend Hirsch doesn’t exist.

gfc

Much ado about nothing. Probably would have been a good joke between pals, just not on air.

Can't recall ever hearing someone as composed as Shorty lose it like that. You can tell he wanted no part of the media mob on his ass if someone takes that the wrong way

Agree..not a big deal..Shorty even joked about almonds at the end of it.

 

[mriswith]

The only reason it even drew that kind of reaction from Shorthouse is fear of the social media mob, not the actual comment or Hirsch, like I doubt that would have phased him off air.

It's almost like panic fire with some of the stuff he says. It not something he really meant to say. Almost a mild form of Tourette's.

Nailed it.

Yup.
I really do like Hirsch. He probably would be great, sitting on the couch of a house party watching a Canucks game.

I'll be surprised if he finishes off the road trip, and shocked if we see him again.

Like I mentioned, good dude without proper broadcast training..

He just speaks his mind, and makes jokes. I love that about him!

But it will cost him, on TV.

 

[The Poacher]

Cancel culture.

 

[mathonwy]

Cancel culture.

Nah dude.

You don’t make those types of jokes on tv… ever.

 

[The Poacher]

Nah dude.

You don’t make those types of jokes on tv… ever.

That’s what I’m saying, shorty got defensive to make sure cancel culture doesn’t come looking for him.
He had to make sure everyone new that it never happened.

 

[Ozone]

Can't recall ever hearing someone as composed as Shorty lose it like that. You can tell he wanted no part of the media mob on his ass if someone takes that the wrong way

And this is the whole point:
Social media is a wild fire cancer - spreading fast and uncontrolled. Shorty wanted NO part of it.
Nor should he.

It's a shame on many levels.

 

[Ozone]

Cancel culture.

Not cancel culture; just TV and broadcasting professionalism.

Catch phrases like yours usually come from the uneducated.

Let's all try to be better.

It's bizarre...that pairing is still grossly overpaid as a whole but for once the "throw shit together and see if it works" approach to the defence pairings is working.

 

[David71]

good on burroughs standing up for hoglander.

 

[Vector]

Like I mentioned, good dude without proper broadcast training..

He’s been calling games as a fill in for almost 15 years now. That’s what blows my mind. It’s not like he’s never done this before. He’s just not built for it.

I respect him a lot for being open about his mental health, struggles, and he seems like a very nice man. Don’t want him anywhere near a broadcast for a good long time.

 

[DL44]

The lotto line was a complete liability

they aren’t generating
They are turning it over at will
Terrible underlying numbers

Pettersson looks so disinterested

Almost like Green had some logic to try to put Miller into a center position.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Brad Shaw is the guy running the PP with Chiasson on the top unit. No thanks

Jason King is our PP coach this season.
