GDT: [GM68] Canucks vs Capitals | Sat. Mar 16th, 7:00pm | SNP | Jockeying for Position

[Bourne Endeavor]

Miller and Hughes playing a quick little game of catch while we’re down 2-1 with a min left is the most frustrating thing I’ve seen all year. What the f*** are they doing.

Hoping whoever is supposed to cover them moves out of position so the free guy gets his perfect shot. That's what we always try to do and teams have started figuring it out.

 

[TraderJim]

What a waste of a 1st round pick.

 

[NoShowWilly]

What a pathetic performance.

 

[just22]

Games getting tighter and tighter the closer we are to the playoffs and you can see this team start to wilt under pressure.

They need to figure it out fast or else they’re going to be an easy first round out.

 

[biturbo19]

I don't think this team is trending in the right direction. Everyone around them except for Vegas is turning it on and they have been dwindling since January.

Classic case of peaking too early.

You never really know. Sometimes the playoffs hit and a team just flips a switch and turns in on.

But it'd be hard to say it's not concerning that they appear to be backing their way into the playoffs.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

What a waste of a 1st round pick.

At least we cleared salary off the books to bring in a top 6 forward.

 

[Flik]

Lindholm clearly doesn't want to get paid.

Any gm that gives him a contract will regret it. Holy f*** has this guy been a complete no show.

Total wiff by our management. Its too bad, on paper you could see the fit. But Flames fans were right, he's a passenger, not a line driver.

 

[Petey O]

It's funny seeing people giving up on this team before they've even played a playoff game.

I just don't understand how they can have that tight checking low scoring road trip where they were successful. And then they come back here and just go right back to shitting the bed.

 

[wonton15]

Also yeah Lindholm is a huge flop. Just looks like Suter 2.0 lol. I’d rather have Kuzmenko if it means our PP1 stayed. God I want to give him the benefit of doubt but he’s just a flop

 

[VanJack]

Canucks will need another gear to go anywhere in the playoffs, But so far, this home stand is casting doubt on whether this team is merely a good regular season team, and no more than that.

 

[Canucks LB]

What a waste of a 1st round pick.

He has the playoffs to redeem himself completely

 

[TruKnyte]

That’s been my one of my biggest gripes with this team. Lack of adaptability.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Hate to say it but Monahan would have been a better pickup than Lindholm.

Monahan: 11-3 in 18 games
Lindholm: 4-3-7 also in 18 games

And it would have only cost us a first and nothing else. I get why management went after Lindholm but he's been a massive disappointment.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Lindholm can certainly win faceoffs. 9/12 tonight. But that's f***ing it.

 

[Canucks LB]

Total wiff by our management. Its too bad, on paper you could see the fit. But Flames fans were right, he's a passenger, not a line driver.

Yeah its more of a fail by our scouts
First real miss

Lindholm: 4-3-7 also in 18 games

Might also be the system as well.

That's always been Lindholm. I don't even think it would be such a big issue though...if one of our two real "line drivers" wasn't in a coma (Petey).

 

[canuckslover10]

Not getting Guentzel, Toffoli, or even Zucker really hurt this team our forward lines have been lackluster

 

[mriswith]

Outscoring the other team 2:1 while carrying a 1.1 PDO set expectations way too high. We're still 1st in the conference despite the perception of most of the team as underperforming.

He has the playoffs to redeem himself completely

He can redeem the price we paid for him but he's locked himself out of extending here.

 

[nucks88]

Monahan has the wrong passport for this team…..

 

[EpochLink]

Onto the next, which is the Sabres on Tuesday.

Who are rolling right now and trying to make the playoffs.

 

[CanadianPirate]

It's funny seeing people giving up on this team before they've even played a playoff game.

Not to mention they just beat the kings, golden knights, and jets and lost in ot to the avs. Today was a frustrating game but the over reactions are a little much. This was the first outright loss in 6 games.

 

[dez]

-Podz looks like he hit the same wall Bains hit
-Lindholm looks slightly better than earlier, but still would have gotten a winger for Petey.
