Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Sharks - 5-4 (OT) (Brock Boeser, Hughes, Lammikko, Garland, Miller)

[PG Canuck]

He is just one of the few guys who really gives a shit. He can go and change the momentum if he really wants. Who knows what he really wants, timing and situation for the team just sucks.

I just find it hard to want to keep him, when it’s going to be 2-3 years before we probably see an upswing. He’ll be 31 years old by then (not like that’s ancient)

What shit was he referring too? Context?

The team

 

[Breakers]

That was some of sloppiest hockey i have seen in a long time by both teams

 

[KingofSurrey]

What shit was he referring too? Context?

Probably Jim Benning....

Tweet has no meaning.

Keep Miller - Trade Horvat

Trade them both!

Sat posted right after he scored. He didn’t actually say that. It was just him putting into words what JT’s on ice actions were.

What? Petey was a beast tonight. 70% xGF share, was physical, made tons of smart defensive plays all night long, would've sealed the win if his stick hadn't broken, sets up the OT winner. Absolutely no complaints with his game.

He did make a bunch of dumb plays on the PP, but that seems to be a teamwide issue.

Thanks for the feedback!

Something we have to keep in mind - 23 year old Petey is centering a line with a 20 year old rookie Podz and a 21 year old sophomore Hogs. That is a VERY young line for the NHL. Bruce is putting a lot of responsibility on Petey's shoulders. This is great preparation and experience for the future of this team. We're going to see how these young guys handle it. So far, I like it.

Probably Jim Benning....

That made me chuckle

 

[VanJack]

I have no idea what it is about the ice in California, but every game down there the Canucks look like they're skating in quicksand. Even Hughes looked average in the skating department tonight. As for OEL and Myers, almost a nightmarish night.

But I guess the hockey gods are smiling on the Canucks these days....to get four points out of the last two games is akin to miracle. One thing's for certain. They'll need to play a lot better in the coming weeks to even think about climbing back into this playoff race.

Horvat looks absolutely done. Guy looks like a 34 year old veteran with his best days behind him.

Losing any step was going to really hinder his NHL career. May need to go back to skate mills next summer...

 

[CherryToke]

Leading a team with a gutless captain probably

He should be traded.

His value is likely still high but f***, he’s overrated.

And lord know what he wants on his next contract.

 

[CherryToke]

That quiet leadership has done f*** all for this year, it’s time to try something new

Quite leadership is not the problem. It's the fact that he's simply not a good hockey player and nobody respects that

I have felt like Bruce has kept that line together as a message to all 3 of them. I like that he is keeping them together and basically saying "figure out how to play together because this combination works".

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Keep JT, Trade Boeser and Horvat. Get some good young speedy players in return

Seriously.

 

[Canucks LB]

Horvat getting shredded on sn650.
Guy needs to be better

 

[Three On Zero]

Horvat getting shredded on sn650.

You ha…..like to see it

Was at the game behind the bench and guy looked gassed after every shift. I’m wondering if Covid had a bigger impact than they’re letting on. He’s obviously trying but it’s just not coming together for him as much as it used to

 

[mriswith]

I've been on the trade Horvat+Miller train since Benning survived last years trade deadline but you can't trade Bo and still convince JT to extend. I mean you probably can't convince him to extend in general, but particularly not after trading Horvat and whatever else Rutherford is going to do to this thing.

This is the way.

I read the same tweet as you. That's all I know.

The way I see it, complete hockey players can play at an elite level well beyond 30. You know who else is a player complete like Miller? Pavelski. He's got 52 in 47, and he's 9 years older than Miller.

 

[VancouverJagger]

Man, I would throw a 3-year extension at ~$1.35M at Burroughs this off-season, see if he bites. Could be really good value for us.

Yeah that was a heck of a pass he made to Garland on that goal.
