Post-Game Talk: GAME #58: Canucks 0 @ Ducks 1: Sorry, scoring had gone away...

[Johnny Canucker]

That’s about as frustrating a hockey game as I’ve ever seen.

Anaheim is trash. And they are better then us.

 

[Grumbler]

Yikes what a brutal loss, tomorrow gonna be the same thing against LOS ANGELES

And then we beat San Jose after our goalie makes 60 saves.

 

[LordBacon]

Not even pettersson bo and boeser can save this team. The team has way too many self inflicted wounds. Two embarrassing loses in a row, if this ain’t the time to start selling I don’t know when

 

[polarbearcub]

Most embarrassing loss of the season so far.

Yup. This is the nose frustrating loss of the year.

f***ing joke they couldn’t score

 

[thekernel]

Most embarrassing loss of the season so far.

Surely the hockey gods have more 4th string AHL goalies in store for us

 

[Cogburn]

I think that was harder to watch than San Jose...

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I can't believe I just wasted three hours on that.

I only wasted an hour.

PVR is a game changer.

 

[Hit the post]

They dominated the game they just got robbed by a lucky goalie

Yeah I don’t see this as the worst lost of the season.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I know it's Anaheim but we did actually play a good game
Sucks that no one can finish tonight

 

[EpochLink]

This defense is a mess, it's been a mess for years.
Couldn't score a lick...no one wanted to try a garbage greasy goal down below?
Why always perimeter shooting?

What a frustrating game...

Bad teams find ways to lose games like this . Good teams find two goals in the third and gut it out

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Lol. I had a muffin today at matchstick. Cost me $3.75. Nuts.

Don't get the nuts next time. Save money.

 

[Zanon]

That was a boring game even with the Getzlaf incident.

 

[Hit the post]

That I would agree with. Blame Gillis.

 

[CherryToke]

How many shots did troy have on the point tonight I counted like 12

I'm not sure they qualify as shots. Passes maybe.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

You can see the team losing swagger and confidence. Quite a contrast from earlier this season. That debacle on Monday has set the tone the rest of the way. Playoffs should not be in conversation anymore.

The few good talented players we have are being saddled down with so much junk. Horvat with Granlund and Roussel? Leivo on the top line? Ugh.

The D is utter shit. No one can pass or rush the puck and offense is having to support the zone exits which is really f***ing over any ability to transition or generate chances off the rush.

 

[CherryToke]

Anaheim is trash. And they are better then us.

Clearly not better Johnny.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Ugly,fugly hockey game...Complete unknown goalie from the minors pitches a shutout..Very Canuckian...It couldn't have been scripted more perfectly....This game was for the taking.,its not going to get any easier tomorrow.

 

[Nazzlind]

our transition is non existent and our entries are so bad smh

Yup. This is what our team looks like if you trade Tanev OR Edler.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

That was bad. Thoughts:

• This stapling Leivo to Pettersson's wing is the work of idiocy. It must stop.
• Kesler and Perry are shadows of their former selves. Perry had all the effectiveness of a hungover Granlund tonight.
• If Tanev's gone again, stick a fork in 'em. This season's done.
• I don't think I saw Virtanen connect so much as a single pass after getting leveled by Getzlaf. If he's hurt sit him down ffs. Cobwebs all over his game after that hit.

Make it stop...make it stop...

 

[VanJack]

Two awful teams who'll be golfing by early April. Without Edler and now possibly without Tanev, this Canuck blueline is AHL-quality.

So for a tankist, this is a perfect result. Lose to one of few teams in the NHL that are actually worse. Hopefully the swoon continues, and Benning will be forced to be a seller.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Rock Bottom.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Lol Shut out by the freakin Ducks, Embarrassing. Power play is 1 for the last 22. Leivo not clicking on first unit (great 5 on 5, struggles on pp), Goldy should slot in instead. PP shouldn’t be this bad with EP, Boeser & Horvat on it.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Can’t win em all but we were the far better team and that counts as a moral victory that the boys can feel good about if they stick to playing like that they will win their share of games. The last minute has me convinced without a shadow of a doubt that Quinn Hughes will transform the team with his zone entries alone. Right now we are dumping the puck in with a minute left to go down a goal and it’s not working.
