[LemonSauceD]

Theres always next year

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

This game wasn’t in the cards..Dull..good road game by the Flyers.

Next.

 

[Cogburn]

Terrible. I wish to make anger at the players of our team.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Worst part is the next game is on Tuesday

So philly and NJ are both teams that the Canucks can't seem to beat or even play well against

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Pretty horrid game to watch. But oh well. Can’t win them all. Onto the next one and on to 2024.

 

[kranuck]

Pathetic effort. I hope they feel like shit.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

That game made me really really really happy...





...when it ended.

I wonder if this was them being comfortably complacent with their position in the standings.
They get to stew in their failure for a few days so i hope they get in some hard practices

 

[Svencouver]

expected result, beating philadelphia is literally impossible

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Christmas hangover

 

[LordBacon]

Boo

 

[Canuckle1970]

They are human.

Keep on with the home cookin' and practice, practice, practice. Pummel Ottawa next Tuesday, and right the ship for the eastern road trip (which won't include Philly, lol).

Boeser stood out in the worst way tonight. He was brutal at all ends of the ice tonight. Flubbed goal, lazy penalty, horrible coverage on shorthanded goal.

Zadorov, doing too much. Bad passes, and a really bad breakout attempt that costed them the game. Occasionally makes Myers type of mistakes.

Hughes wasn't impressive on the foot race against Poeling on the powerplay for the shorthanded goal.

J.T and Pettersson Where are thou?

Kuzmenko has a decent game. Looked best out of the star caliber forwards. Could of had a couple of assists if Boes and Co hadn't of flubbed it.

Joshua Blueger Garland line continue to impress. Continuously driving the play, with high puck possession. This line has been the pulse of the team.

The star forwards need to wake up and drive the team again. They have become too reliant on the 3rd line.

Overall just a stinker. Oh well, it happens. Time to move on.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

This game is hopefully a wake up all to most of the stars they can't keep coasting on the coattails of a stellar third line. Blueger, Joshua and Garland have basically kept us alive while Miller, Boeser, Petey, Kuz and Mikheyov have all fallen asleep.

Granted, Petey actually played alright tonight, and Kuz had some solid chances. I'm much more concerned about Miller and Boeser who have been AWOL lately. I also really like Hoglander but I'm a little worried about him in our top six come the playoffs. As an option? Absolutely. But I don't quite think he's ready for the grind heavy atmosphere of playoff hockey.

With Soucy likely drawing in against Ottawa, I sincerely hope this is the last night we see Myers and Zadorov together. It's just way too inconsistent a pairing.

Would like to see the lotto line reunited, Suter centering the 2 ruskies. Suters already playing 15+ mins a night, give him a bigger role. Hogs is struggling, too much stick checking not enough dog on a bone forechecking, put him back with Laff.

 

[Zippgunn]

Weird fun fact: both Demko and DeSmith have .840 save % in their last games...

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Christmas roster freeze ended today...just sayin'. Wonder if Alvin is on the phone right now?

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

These bad first periods need to stop. Basically allowed flyers to come in and dictate tempo and game flow.

Top players need to be better at even strength and have more dominating shifts in the other teams zone. 3rd line is the only one consistently having good shifts but the momentum dies because there isn't any piggy backing of strong shifts.

Finished December 8-2-2; second best monthly pace. With today's loss Canucks only need 46 points in the remaining 46 games to hit 95 points, otherwise known as .500 hockey. Another strong month and the Canucks would makes this tracking completely irrelevant.

Required Monthly Records:
January: 6-6-1
February: 6-6-0
March: 6-6-1
April: 4-4-0

January is an interesting month. Canucks face some of the worst teams in the league (Senators, Blackhawks, and Blue Jackets x2), face some very disappointing teams (Sabres and Penguins), and the Blues twice (the last time they played it was the Canucks most complete game of the season). Devils, Rangers, and Islanders (Rangers & Islanders are a back-to-back) will be difficult but the rest of the month is fairly spaced out. There's a 4pm home game against the Leafs...because of course there is every season. The dumbest part of the schedule is a 1pm Saturday game in Buffalo and then a 10am Monday game against the Blue Jackets. I've been told that is Martin Luther King Day and it's incredibly stupid scheduling.
