Post-Game Talk: [GM 28] Canucks lose to Wild | 0-3 | It Was Not a Good Time

[Johnny Canucker]

On the best day, we are a .500 team. On a regular day we are sun .500

 

[sting101]

No scoring touch tonight. Lots of chances. Wild did a great job with 2nd efforts and cleaning up rebounds. We as usual have flaws that get exposed

 

[mathonwy]

This team is a loser.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Canucks always save their most pathetic efforts for the home crowd..

Generally..20 minutes is sufficient..

Bland,lifeless team right now..

 

[arttk]

Looks like I missed nothing

 

[lakai17]

When we giving Silovs the call?

Less than nothing. The Canucks are a negative asset.

canucks last played a decent hockey game against vegas, although that was a game that broke their way. since then they have played shinny with bad teams and have been destroyed by even half decent teams.

any serious team with its act together and their goalie playing decently comes in here and toys with this squad in its own barn. humiliation does not really capture what the caps, panthers and wild have just done. it looks like garbage time late in the season from the willie d era except our supposed core are the enthusiastic rookies who don't play a complete game. it's the kind of irrelevance to actual hockey competition that the 1987 canucks had but without the excuse that they had no talent.

 

[mathonwy]

It’s the FAQ factor.

Whoever heard of home ice disadvantage.

 

[Delocatedfan]

Happy to see lots of empty seats. Maybe that will convince ownership & JRPA that the fans are tired of the same old same old

Garbage time is a good name for this season.

I spent tonight watching Christmas movies with the wife, kids and I. Judging from the responses it looks like I made the right choice.

I despise Tyler Myers on a Molecular Level


Look at that give away

You're being too kind. I'm thinking on a subatomic level.

 

[timw33]

Great that we got that player locked up long term to be a core piece

 

[Melvin]

I can’t even describe how typical it Is that after like 7-6, 6-5 games I finally sit down to watch one and we literally get shut out. Can’t make it up.

You are surprised by this kind of result? Surely you jest.

As long as it wasn't a chick flick good call!

Thank f*** the boys lost and were shut out to get back on track.

Very flat performance. Not ready at all at the beginning and lucky the game wasn't out of reach very early. Made a push in the second but execution was poor, especially on the PP. Team play was disjointed throughout and defensive lapses were frequent and often grievous. Overall there has been a lack of cohesion all year. Sometimes they get enough good play out of individuals to get by, but doubtful they can ever get on a steady run b/c of the general disorganization.

Obviously one of their poorest efforts of the year and, given the schedule situation, a game where excuses weren't there. Time for management to have a hard look at the situation. Hopefully they have the guts and the smarts to look to the future and stop beating their heads against a wall trying to tweak the present roster

Good

Martin - might dispute this if you look at the whole game but he gave the team a chance to come back. Was outstanding in the first.

Bad

Myers - so out of position so often. Stalled out and watched the play at times. His movement off the puck was awful. Wasn't putting himself in position to receive passes and quickly move the puck. Passes often wrong footed other players. Slow to react and behind the play around his net. A must trade heading into the rest of the season.

Stillman - gets in a fight , loses it and suddenly he's playing well??? Fit someone's narrative (bring life to the Canucks) but actually did nothing of the sort. Instead was continually forced into defensive mistakes. How long are the team going to beat this dead horse. Guy is not NHL standard in any aspect of his play. Get him down to the AHL

Horvat - back to lugging around. Has been trending off for the last few games and tonight he was baggage. When his skating like he was tonight (which is far too often) he can't get any separation to make a play. First step is terrible. Canucks should be looking to trade him in the near term. Good chance his play falls off and his value decreases.

Miller - terrible. Not getting there till they got into garbage time and schedule began to catch up with MInny. Made some of his trade mark blind and forced passes which greatly contributed to the loss. Looks slow and old and sometimes pathetic. Re-signing now looks a move that will hurt for years.

Maybe some of the trade talk and other talk about who stays, who goes, is getting to the players. This did not look like committed effort. Not all players are heading in the same direction and there is something not right with the fabric of this team.

 

[Play]

We let a 198 year old GM give an extension to player who doesn’t even live on the west coast.

He’s old, but I just realized something after your hyperbole.

He must be very wise, he’s better at playing the waiting game. I’m willing to give the geezer a couple years like he originally said it will take to be a legit playoff team.

 

[Sedinery]

Miller sure is “elite” on the pp

Made such a beautiful cross ice pass to minny to set Dewar up for breakaway

So happy our genius new management locked him up long term

Pathetic Canucks franchise

As I have said previously, can’t tank but too much of a crap team to make the playoffs

No they get no playoffs and no Bedard

 

[Breakers]

I think shaw made some decent improvements in his single season with Vancouver


Even strength defensive efficiency
20/21 = 30th
21/22 = 15th (shaw)
22/23 = 29th

Even philly's defensive efficiency has increased from last season

 

[Melvin]

The Montreal game I started to watch and we were losing 4-0 when I went to bed. Have I seen us score a single goal all year? Possible.
