Post-Game Talk: Ducks def. Canucks - 7-4 (Pearson, Pettersson, Garland, Hughes)

[arttk]

Tanner fuxxing Perason has 16 5v5 pts

Horvat 13 Boeser 11 with more ice time

and the funny part is early in the year Pearson was covering defensively for Horvat all the time while he tried to cheat up ice. TP quite frankly has been much better defensively also and has gone to the net and at least given a solid effort for his lacking wheels in puck battles.

Chew on that haters

It's friggen sad

Boeser has been getting a lot of shit for his play already and Bo as well recently. So if you are complaining about us not complaining about Bo and Boeser enough, I don’t know what to say to you.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Bruce is pissed

 

[Three On Zero]

I think he did three or four interviews on Friday alone.

Ugh, I missed it

 

[iFan]

Bruce is pissed

Good! Hopefully management is as well and will start fixing this team.

well Burroughs is out potentially long term and OEl is injured
whatever playoff hope we had is probably gone now

 

[Melvin]

Horvat speaks a lot about accountability and being better but when the going gets tough, it’s never Bo that shows up.

He's just not that good.

And it's almost hard to believe, but he'll be 27 in a few months. Pretty much reaching the end of his prime years. It's a shame.

Yet everyone complains about Pearson and his contract

Pearson is the least of our problems

i've been saying this for years. the top end of our roster outside the bubble has been average to poor and then most upsetting given their ages and the fact they shit the bed and had a long off season to improve they all got fat lazy soft and turned into a bunch of perimeter prima donnas who didn't want to break a nail.

Another wasted year

[Ozone]

Ugh, I missed it

I missed it too!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

"This team sucks."

Wake up management.

He really should be a trade chip. His reputation is far better than the player he currently is and can get us a lot.

Score aside, it did bother me that the Ducks were physically dominating us with almost no push back. They aren't even a goon or huge team but we are just so soft. We couldn't even afford Schenn to not play for us for 5 minutes as sad as it sounds.

 

[VanJack]

Rutherford is coming in with something of a 'blank slate'.....other than Hughes, Pettersson, Demko and maybe young guys like Podkolzin and Hoglander, there are no sacred cows on this roster. That basically means that anyone else on this team could be dealt if the deal improves the hockey club long term.

And that list of trade chips could well include the likes of Garland, Boeser and Horvat....they aren't 'untouchable' and nor should they be. I could easily see one or two of them, maybe even all three, included in some sort of blockbuster trades. Both Boeser and Horvat will need new contracts, and based on the way they're currently producing, the Canucks can't afford them if the mandate is also to open up more cap room.

Clear the decks....it's over to 'Trader Jim'.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I hope Bruce sticks around

 

[TeddyBare]

I’m not confident that Pettersson is the right guy to build around, points aren’t everything. I want a cup and I don’t see Pettersson as a player that can drive the team to a cup. I know this isn’t a popular opinion but I believe we need a blow up and rebuild the team. Benning put together a horrible mix of players here and I don’t think it’s salvageable.

Who says you have to build around just him?
He could be like Nylander and part of a core

You dont build around 1 player

because he’s expensive

BB isn't mincing words at all now is he.

I still remember counting down 13 F bombs dropped within 60 seconds of sheer unrelenting verbal ASS whooping he gave the Caps during one of the games' intermissions.

It's friggen sad

The team looked better when Motte was filling in for Horvat.. He's a total fraud

 

[rypper]

because he’s expensive

Trim some of the fat off the roster and all of a sudden what Pettersson makes is less of a factor.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

If that isn't a sign this isn't a playoff team, I'm not entirely sure what is. That was one of the worse performances I've seen this year. They looked like they had lead in their skates.

 

[arttk]

I hope Bruce sticks around

We need more Pooh reference

 

[TeddyBare]

because he’s expensive

he's only expensive because the past GM screwed up the cap and he seems that way

Tampa has like 4 players make more than him, so does toronto

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

He's just not that good.

And it's almost hard to believe, but he'll be 27 in a few months. Pretty much reaching the end of his prime years. It's a shame.

It's time to seriously start talking about trading him. Like, not even kicking tires anymore.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

I like the candid answers from BB and JR. They don't sugar coat things or have a warped sense of reality.

Nothing worse than watching Travis green post game after the team plays like shit. "I thought we played good today. We did a lot of good things"
