GDT: Game #15 Sat Feb 6th @Leafs 4pm PST/ Feb 7th 1am CET/8am HKT/11am AEDT

[calnuck]

This is the worst stretch of Canucks’ hockey I’ve seen this team play in a long, long time.

Worst part is it was totally avoidable

 

[canuckking1]

if benning is gone tonight we should riot

 

[NoShowWilly]

'spit on me... That's nice'

 

[Ginger Papa]

I do a fine job beating myself

 

[tantalum]

Night will likely be capped off with a 3 point BoA.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Jesus.

 

[Svencouver]

Jesus.

f*** me, how does no one get fired after this? You're a billionare Francisco, f***ing figure it out. You're probably making an unconscionable amount of money off the rest of us during this pandemic, at least give us a respectable hockey team to watch while you do it

This is the worst stretch of Canucks’ hockey I’ve seen this team play in a long, long time.

This team is good enough to at least be competitive most of the time. Something's off here. I think players' remarks about Benning were the tip of a big iceberg of frustration.

 

[Bourdon]

Markstrom and a PPG Miller were the only things blinding some that the tank ever ended

Nah, even with Markstrom and Tanev, and Toffoli, we were bad. It's like the structure of the team is non-existent.

Now, we've clearly given upon the season on top of the poor system, and are just waiting for the shoe to drop. I think the leadership of the team has to be questioned as well.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[I am toxic]

MS already mentioned it.

The Bill LaForge season (it was *THAT* bad & thankfully it wasn't even close to a full season).

Even in the nightmare that was the '80's (82-88), the team gave it. Steamer leading by example.

EDM laughed at our bench as they skated by. We didn't have the talent, or if we did we traded it away badly.

But they never quit. They never won, but they never quit (other than that laForge fiasco. eff him).

And they were set up against a HoF EDM and later a CGY team that was basically just as good - swap 99 for Flames best player and the Cups go the other way.

 

[PG Canuck]

Simmonds may as well just get it over with and score another

Simmonds and Spezza beating the Canucks

what year is it?

 

[Diversification]

In the first intermission, they were talking about rumors of a Virtanen trade. I think that really could be the thing that could turn things around for us.

 

[iFan]

Wasn’t some hockey insider saying if the Canucks get blown out on Saturday changes were coming? I mean that could be a good thing about tonight’s blow out loss! Benning and Green fired would turn a bad night into a good night!

 

[JiffyPB]

Ryan Kesler NEVER gave up on the team the way Miller has right now, even as we tried to trade him and when he wanted out.

 

[wonton15]

Tyler Myers was trying to go for the breakaway 180 feet from the other net on the PK lmaoo

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Kinda amazing that Green and Benning have had so long here when you look at their records. It's honestly amazing. How'd they get away with it?

 

[MS]

It’s almost like the players were upset that their good work and chances of achieving their goals were wrecked by a 70 IQ moron.

 

[calnuck]

Puck goes right to Myers stick and still doesn't clear it

 

[Kryten]

Holtby with a nice blocker save, the lost art

 

[canuckking1]

In the first intermission, they were talking about rumors of a Virtanen trade. I think that really could be the thing that could turn things around for us.

Is Virtanen being traded for Hedman and Gallant?

 

[tantalum]

Credit to Holtby he’s trying to battle...

 

[EpochLink]

Ryan Kesler NEVER gave up on the team the way Miller has right now, even as we tried to trade him and when he wanted out.

f*** Kesler, that guy checked out too.

 

[timw33]

Myers is a ****ing disaster every single night.

Glen Sather used to love rattling the Cup rings on his hand on the boards as the Canucks skated by.
