Post-Game Talk: [GM41] Canucks lose to Lightning | 4-5 | Garland, Miller, Hughes, and Pettersson

[Peen]

I'd be surprised and impressed if he scratches OEL.

Hold some of these veterans to the same standards you held the kids to.

I felt while watching that the Penguins game was easily top five of worst canucks games I have ever watched. The scoreline was insanely flattering.

Someone had to be pulled. Organizationally, it makes far more sense for it to be OEL than Myers given Myers is tradable in six months.

The idea that Bruce and then Allvin and Rutherford were going to right the ship in a season was fun while it lasted, but damn has the shine ever worn off the apple quickly. I expect this game, and many more moving forward, to be a complete slaughter and can only hope that the losses start to pile up so we can finally make the only sensible choice and blow the team up. Even if it means ditching Pettersson and Hughes as part of the tear down we need to bite that bullet because this team has no future as it is currently constructed.

Missing Pearson for the rest of the season hurts. His minimal points and slow skating could really give the team the boost it needs down the stretch. But injuries I guess

Anyways M2Bs keys to the game:

1. double shift OEL Myers
2. bench Pettersson and Hughes
D. send Horvat, Brock Boeser and Kuzmenko out to pick up easy points in garbage time when its 7-1 Tampa
5. Get Stillman back in there and give him 20 minutes minimum

Top 3 Powerplay vs 32nd PK.

If (when) Canucks start taking penalties due to being out skated it's going to probably go quite badly.

 

[Breakers]

The shine worn off from Shaw leaving is getting more and drastic everyday.

Back to Travis Green hockey
I thought he were finally on the right path last year.

But we are now back to DEAD LAST in odd man rushes against like we’re for 3 seasons under green.

Hopefully Hughes is next some of his
efforts this seasons have been terrible.

Tyler Minors your time is now!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I think this is what I will do too… Should be another 6-7 goal game beatdown

I picked up Perry and Killorn. Someone else picked up Paul though. It's hilarious watching the others in my league pick up players that are facing the Canucks.

They face the Panthers/Canes in a B2B this weekend. Goals galore.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Even when they played a defensive structure game under Travis, Markstrom and Demko had to bail them out to steal games. Even when they play an offensive structure game under Bruce the goalie has to bail them out to steal games. It's not the coach it's the players it always has been and will continue to be until a new core is founded.


Cough cough: REBUILD

Hopefully Miller will be the next one as well.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Wonder if this is Coach B's decision or front office?

 

[Sedinery]

Win some lose some.

But mostly lose…..for over 50 years

Update ….. every player other than EP and Kuzzy has missed the entire season

I left our Bo because his goals are a mirage as he has done zero other than score

 

[Canucker]

Shit...well there goes all his scoring ability.

How the f*** are we gonna get rid of him anytime soon

 

[Vector]

Buyout.

He's the most obvious candidate.

A hand transplant from a good donor might help...lol.

 

[VanJack]

We could be in deep trouble in this one. John Cooper recently called out his team after a couple of lackluster performances.

And they're facing a team in the Canucks with AHL goaltending and a porous defense that allows players to get to the front of their own net almost at will. Oh, and did I also mention they're 32nd (dead last) in the league on the PK?

I suppose miracles do happen in the NHL--but rarely to the Canucks.

 

[m9]

Buyout.

He's the most obvious candidate.

He's not an obvious buyout candidate at all because of the bonus.

Saves 1.8 million next year but you get hit with 900k the next year. So it saves 900k total in cap space.. basically nothing.

He's still an NHL player.

Anyways, not the the thread for it.

Oh buyout is not that bad with him

 

[Cogburn]

Pearson is LTIR'd, OEL is scratched....is this...pseudo-competence I sense?

Mutual termination with JT Miller next?

 

[Cogburn]

Mutual termination from JT Miller next?

I still think someone bites on trading assets for him before the NMC kicks in.

Keep dreaming.

When Boudreau says OEL is "arguably the Canucks best defenceman", he has to be thinking of his NHL career, not OEL's recent play. Otherwise fans need to start chanting "Bruce there it was".

I'm just going to assume it was Bruce's natural instinct to lift up a player that kicked in
