Hope the losses keep coming.

Only way for possible change and hope.

That road trip is going to be spectacularly bad.

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

In theory, all losses are beneficial towards the greater good. It’s amazing though that we need to actually have some faith that this actually will ever end, instead of just common sense dictating things.

 

[PG Canuck]

I quite enjoyed that game, actually.

 

[Cogburn]

Another glorious loss.

I haven't been able to watch an entire game all week, and this is what I got?

Canucks fans waving goodbye to Green at YVR.

The game itself wasnt bad but my god Beagle and Sutter would ahve been more useful then Horvat and Petey

 

[Pip]

This is a bad, boring team. No identity. No excitement, and no structure. Benning’s masterpiece!

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

That Garland GIF is sad.

A desperate Benning holding a potential Shane Wright draft pick is scary

Does anyone remember the game that got Bob McCammon fired? Bob was up against it, and the team came out and peppered the New York Rangers with 55 shots. In the end the final score was 3-3. General Manager Pat Quinn (likely realizing that the team was playing for Bob that night) still pulled the plug and instead himself as head coach. That lead to the legendary run to the 1994 finals. No doubt Edmonton, Montreal, Tampa, and Boston hold reunions for those groups that lost in the finals. What you think of these 32 shots with no goals?

You know things are bad (from the DimJim's POV) when the posters wanting DimJim & Green fired are growing on CDC.

It's getting very hard to post afterthoughts about the games with very little going on. Our star players have run dry, Pettersson, Boeser and Horvat are invisible. Demko played well, but no one is backing him up. The Canucks are having problems against even the simplest of competition. Would love to see a change but I feel like I've been saying this for years. Please boycott the games folks.

Feels like another telegraphed bust defenseman for us this year

 

[Dab]

Fire Benning.

 

[wonton15]

Pod, Hog, Garland and Demko are the only bright spots night in and out. I hope they blow all the upcoming road games.

Honestly, what has Bo done all season?

Sucks so hard cheering for losses in year 8 but that’s where we are

You mean you don't see him developing under this management?

 

[canucksfan]

It just seems like all of the games have 3-4 players busting their ass and the rest just coast.

 

[iceburg]

They deserved that game. When things are going badly even the games you should win don’t go your way.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

We are beyond the “oh well… oh but… oh if…”

Results are the only remedy. Otherwise, see yourself out (management/ coaching). I have no more patience for this garbage. It’s been 8 bloody years of this hot garbage. Heard all the excuses. Enough!

We added Garland, Podkolzin, OEL and subtracted Erikkson, Beagle, a washed Edler. Schmidt was the one solid player we lost and he requested a trade. You are going to argue last year's roster was better?

It's really hard to argue in either direction given that the team has essentially made lateral moves this offseason. Garland is about the only real significant upgrade. I'd consider OEL to be a sidegrade to last year's Edler. Podkolzin isn't really playing meaningful minutes and is about inline with what Virtanen was contributing.

We've also had a lot of crap getting shoehorned into roles that they aren't suited for. Poolman and Dickinson immediately come to mind.

Honestly, this year's and last year's rosters aren't really different in any meaningful way, IMO, and we're seeing it bear out with the on-ice product.

More and more that Covid Bubble is looking like a mirage.

Demko can only do so much. Can't expect him to steal *every* game.
