We need more emotes, specifically a crying or sad face for times like this.

Stillman was putrid tonight. Burroughs should easily slot in.

I liked Bear though. He’s tenacious and a lot better than I thought he’d be.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

The guys with multiple goals BoHo and AK are not here next year. Both for sure aren’t (that’s simple math) but maybe 1??

Or maybe they sign both of them and move someone else? Who knows....simple math rarely involves any trade scenarios over the next 8 months

 

[me2]

Nucks, about 10th most goals scored and 3rd most goals conceded

 

[logan5]

For the first time this season, the team looked dominant offensively. Something to build off of?

Pettersson playing at a Selke level while on a 100 point pace. That's a very rare player. I hope that Allvin can find the right pieces to build around this guy, because if we start the whole process over, we are likely not to get a Pettersson level player again.

They don't call him Juice for nothing.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Salary cap should be in the 90’s for those 4.7 years too. Seems like a no brainer to me.

I'd honestly do it at this point. I'd rather pay 4.7 for nothing than nearly 8 for a liability.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Saw Boeser lining up outside Minami in Yaletown yesterday with some bald dude and I'm pretty sure it was Yeo. Make of that what you will.

Brock Boeser eats food. Confirmed.

I'd honestly do it at this point. I'd rather pay 4.7 for nothing than nearly 8 for a liability.

He’s the reason we can’t sign Bo and /or Andre

 

[wonton15]

Miller loves assaulting teammates as a form of affection

 

[Breakers]

Stillman with the worst underlying numbers of any player again.
Seriously, the only player who had a negative efficiency in the game tonight for Vancouver.

 

[Canuckle1970]

That was a blowout game that the team needed.

 

[Iron Mike Sharpe]

Pettersson needs actual linemates who can finish.

Oh? Like who?

annoying but very doable

My guilty pleasure after a big offensive output is to go to NHL.com stats and see where Canuck player have elevated to.

Pettersson is now 7th in the league in points. Horvat is 2nd in the league in goal scoring. Hughes points per game is up near the top. Obviously lots of talent on the team.

 

[BWJM]

Horvat 10 goals in 11 games has my mind blown

 

[VanJack]

Nice to see the goals going in, but hard not to reach the conclusion that these are two of the worst teams in the NHL and they played like it.

Awful turnovers; poor defensive coverage and atrocious on the PK. The Canucks now occupy their rightful place of 32nd and last in the NHL on the PK. And the Ducks record another 3-3 night. So it means the Canucks are under 60 percent on the PK. I mean how can a team expect to win when your PK is giving up goals in 4 out of every 10 penalties they take?

And not to put too fine a point on it.... but in what parallel universe are Dries and Stillman any kind of upgrade over Rathbone and Hoglander. Are you kidding me? Come on Bruce, get with the program.

 

[Ruthervin]

3 of 4 baby.

Nucks going to the Western Conference Finals guaranteed.

Where all the Benning haters now?!?!?!?!?

 

[wonton15]

Boeser has no place on this team. I’m not sure where he slots in.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Hot damn. I was picking out wedding photos with my wife and missed the 3rd. Kuz really went off huh?

 

[Peen]

annoying but very doable

no it’s not

the management group targeted a two year turn around which would begin with the hardest three years of oel buyout caphit (2.4, 4.8, 4.8)

if they’re buying him out during those years, they’re shooting themselves in the foot. they should retain OEL down closer to 5-5.5 and see what it costs to get rid of him at that price

 

[canuckking1]

Horvat 10 goals in 11 games has my mind blown

Great stat and I don’t want to be a hater but only 2 of the 10 have come at 5v5.

 

[Vector]

That was a hot mess of a game. Fun but a hot mess.

I really don't want to trade away more high picks(which would be the cost), to me it's a slippery slope with the "they're going for it with this core during these next 3-4 years" logic. Because then what's stopping management from shopping around their 1st round pick this year too?

Damn the ducks are bad
