GDT: [GM62] Canucks vs Kings | Thur. Feb 29th, 7:00pm | SNP | True Canadian Winter

[Canuckle1970]

A clunker is right.

 

[TruKnyte]

Truly sad…again we are losing against another remnant of a contender.

I think we need to temper our expectations again with this team. I’m not seeing anything to indicate they’re actually contending for a Cup unless they dramatically overhaul the way they’re playing

 

[canucksfan]

Currently, the only team I have good confidence the Nucks beating in the playoffs are the Oilers. Kings and knights would be very tough to beat.

 

[Hammer79]

The team started buying their own hype and haven’t upped their game since the allstar break. Just a joke of a performance.

Could say the same about the Oilers, who were asked about their winning streak all through the break

 

[wonton15]

This is the first game of the season I’ve outright turned off lol

 

[SillyRabbit]

100%. If you're upset about Lindholm's overall play since he joined, EP's play should be much more worrisome.

This guy isn't playing like a 1st line centre and is the biggest problem on this team right now.

He's been getting away with it because he's still finding a way to rack up points.

The case against him would be much stronger if he was sitting at like 56 points in 62 games or something like that (which is close to the level that he's played at this season IMO).

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

Mikheyev I actually actually had a decent amount of energy this game…

My problem with Mikheyev is that he doesn't actually do anything in the game, good energy or otherwise. He's basically just doing cardio out there.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Hronek and Juulsen battling for who can play worse the last 5-7 games. Juulsen is winning but not by much.

 

[PavelBure10]

This team is wearing out and the stars are no longer shining. None or the stars are looking good lately, particularly in this game. The Pettersson, Hughes, Demko, Lindholm, Hronek well has run dry. Cant be going into the playoffs relying so much on Cole and Myers. This team needs more grinders, players who will sacrifice everything to win. Unfortunately lately the team has more passengers in February than leaders.

 

[EpochLink]

Since the all star break, this team has been bonified horse ass.
They should've never went to that glorified stink hole.

February has been the worst month of Canucks hockey this year.
Start anew for March, the playoffs are coming.

Oh, obviously.

But when you’re on pace for your 2nd straight 100 point season you get a bit more rope.

Obviously the hope is that he’ll perk up once the contract stuff is resolved.

 

[Orca Smash]

Rick made them practice both days after the bruins game which i did not agree with but whatever,, I thought they also needed one rest day and one practice instead of both being a practice day, now they could use a practice tomorrow but I think he has to give the day off.

 

[TruKnyte]

Generates 0 offense. Not good enough for what he’s making

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Not Demko's best game. Earlier in the season, he wouldn't let more than 4 goals regardless of how bad he was playing

I think he’s in the pack of players gassed from all-world performances this year with little help in weeks.

 

[Nucker101]

"These games are hard this time of the year"

Then shouldn't they also be hard for our opponents?

 

[VanillaCoke]

You’re reaching.

And he’s -13 on the year, -5 with us.

He's been one of the better players this game.

Your narrative isn't reality and sounds just as stupid as when you wanted to waive boeser last year, ignoring all context again.

For real dude you're not seeing reality. You could easily watch this game and count half a dozen impact plays by lindholm.
All of which tocchet saw and will be on the tape tomorrow.
How many by mik or 12m man or whoever you like rn.

 

[moiderer]

Mikheyev I actually actually had a decent amount of energy this game…

I think he's been sneaking around but still hasn't accomplished much. Might be Tocchet's system requiring him to overthink positioning that's holding him back. No natural chemistry with anyone due to hands of stone, but at least he'd get 2-3 breakaways a game with the Leafs.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Currently, the only team I have good confidence the Nucks beating in the playoffs are the Oilers. Kings and knights would be very tough to beat.

I would say the Preds and Kraken would be tough opponents.

 

[EpochLink]

He should be gone by the trade deadline, if this team is serious about competing in the post season you trade his Ralph Sampson ass out of here.

Absolute dog ass

While I’m very disappointed with EP the past couple months especially, it’s hilarious he is still a top 15 scorer in the league. You don’t trade guys like that. Sit them down and let them explain, never trade that guy unless massive overpay.

I would say the Preds and Kraken would be tough opponents.

Right now, with the way we’re playing any team will be a hard matchup.

Honestly don’t know if there’s any team currently in a playoff spot where I’d be confident with them winning a 7 game series

 

[MS]

So the franchise 12M C isn't on pp1?

Did plenty offensively with hog and wasn't on the ice for a goal when pinned with bains.

The only overboard is the haters here, after three f***ing weeks what a joke.

The reel of tiny little positives is long af, what do you think the coaches are showing in the Canucks video sessions?!

For real. I'd bet my house it's lindholm.
The impact is there to see if you're looking, u saw it once this game watch like that more often.

By your logic Bains is on PP1 and JT Miller is on PP2.

They’ve been splitting who gets the first shift on the PP. There isn’t a PP1 right now.

It’s a year of shit play, not 3 weeks. He was terrible in Calgary, same as here, and was turning into a whipping boy by the time he left.

The guy is supposed to be an impact player, we paid the price for an impact player, and he’s been a soft timid ghost. Making the odd good defensive play while doing nothing to move the needle isn’t enough.

 

[canucksfan]

Since the start of the year I’ve never liked the top six wingers. Boeser has done better than I thought and he’s been fine. However, they are too soft. Not built for playoff hockey IMO.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Well that was terrible

 

[wonton15]

Use 4 team brokers idc what you have to do - get rid of Mikheyev
