Frustrating to see Podkolzin struggling, especially when players taken after him are succeeding.

Yeah, that monkey off their back for sure
He specifically mentions the Carolina goal when Aho beat him. This is a guy that is dialled in and committed to get even better

He has been fine, apart from this Seattle game.

Just finished watching the game and a win is a win but that was super sloppy, gave up chances galore and just barely held on the entire 3rd...
The defense is atrocious, slow, half brained, out of position constantly. Rathbone is an adventure not in a good way, OEL looks like juolevi, myers is chaos. Only schenn and Burroughs can keep their heads above water.
Thats causing issues, turnovers, and exhaustion for the fwds and demko.
But atleast they can breathe easy for a night before getting stomped by Pittsburgh tomorrow, possibly without miller.

Pettersson goal, with a win on top. Hard to complain.
We need more EP goals.
We need more EP goals.
Only if we could somehow snag Kucherov from Tampa and lock him on Petterssons wing. Of course I’m biased but I could see 55+ goals per year
if they can squeak out a gutsy win tmr. they have a 3 day break anyways.. rest some bumps and bruises.

They basically need to win 7 of the next 9 to have any shot at the playoffs
Another third period where the Canucks were outshot 15-3 at one point and badly out-chanced. If it was any other team but the Kraken, I doubt they hold on.
It's positively frightening how much the play of Myers and OEL is declining. Neither guy can even get there anymore. If the puck is six feet away from them, they're in deep trouble. Beginning to think that OEL contract may actually end up being worse than Louie Eriksson's.
A positive game for the Pettersson, Mihkeyev, Kuzmeno trio. And Horvat was skating hard. But after that, it was like the rink was tilted. This team just can get pucks out of its own zone. Plenty of turnovers tonight.
But at least Boudreau finally got his 600th win, and even the guys on the Sportsnet-TSN Networks were relieved that the Canucks are no longer the NHL's only winless team.

With Hoglander getting 9 minutes, isn't it time to trade him?
He won't develop, getting 4th line minutes.

The vultures are circling on Hoglander. Carolina is apparently in love with the kid. I swear if the Canucks deal him for a waiver-wire d-man like Ethan Bear, I'm throwing my Canuck jersey in the waste bucket.
The graphic the broadcast put up early in the game was pretty eye opening to many people I’d imagine. Listing the handful of teams that managed to make the playoffs after starting the season winless in 7 or more.
To be honest, while it was a win it wasn’t one of those wins where play was starting to get better and it seemed inevitable it would come. This was a win after getting dummied for the large majority of the last three games. I’m of the belief they got what they deserved on the 5 game road trip to begin with and their play has gotten worse since then not better.
Take the two points of course, but wow were they ever bad.

Yeah. Add to that:
— The Mikheyev goals were fugly.
— Canucks didnt spend much time in Seatle's end 5on5
— Demko still shaky af
— Only Peteys line looks like its able to thread water
— OEL has regressed from game to game
Its a heluva time to be a Nucks fan!

Which betting site is it ? Does it have good promos ? Looking for a new one rn lol
Cam Charron's recap is out. Matches the eye-test. I found the following part interesting:
- The Canucks fared a lot better on the right side than the left. Myers had a real good night: the Kraken targeted him often, but he turned 8 controlled entries against him into just 3 scoring chances, while the Kraken had a little more success on the other side against OEL.
- Myers, Burroughs, and Schenn each forced 4 failed entries, as well. While I’m not sure that it’s a great D group necessarily, I think Myers, Burroughs and Schenn can hang with a lot of groups in the league. Burroughs I think has been a bit of a revelation. The team may not know how good he is. He’s probably a little too old for the team to see him as part of the next great Canucks team, but I imagine he fetches a decent pick at the trade deadline if he continues to play like this.
- Better night moving the puck for OEL, with 5 controlled exits on 7 attempts, but turnovers were still an issue, particularly late. Now, I do want to clear up something I said on Canucks Talk with Drance and Dodd yesterday, since I got quoted on Twitter: I don’t think that OEL is an NHL-level defenceman right now. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to improve, but he’s essentially been outplayed by replacement-level players this season. If I’m an opponent, I’m itching to play against him. He’s got some bad boots right now and is doing a lot of things that would really annoy me if I worked for the Canucks. His passes aren’t crisp, he’s making bad reads, and he’s getting beaten in multiple puck races every game. That doesn’t mean you can write him off for the rest of his NHL career, but he’s playing below an NHL standard right now and needs to improve for this team to have much of a hope. I have no vendetta against the player, but coming in pretty fresh to this team and not really knowing what to expect since this is the first time I’ve watched a lot of these players closely for multiple games, there is a lot about Ekman-Larsson’s game to dislike. If that improves, I’ll be the first to give him credit.
Burroughs is a nice feel-good story.
Hey, in times like these, you have to work to find the positives.

Good report. I like what Charron is doing as like he said the Canucks aren't a team he's really followed so he's coming in fresh. I feel like he's had the most accurate reports out of everyone out there so far this season.
