After a strong start team, ultimately, got handled by a stronger , better structured and more mature team. So many gaps in the defensive game and they continue to give up way too much off the rush. Canucks just don't have the personnel to continue forcing an offensive game and once that starts to fail their defense is too poor to keep them in games like this.
Horvat - strong game. Had some good speed off the rush and better in transition. Best Canuck by a good margin
Kumenko - wasn't leading to much, but he forced some turnovers and worked well along boards in the offensive zone.
Bad
Myers - even at the start, when the Canucks dominated, he was looking shaky. Seems to be stumbling and mis-handling the puck. This only got worse as the game went on. Terrible game
Boeser - had a decent start but soon fell out of it and couldn't make a play. Talk of him getting back to a 30 goal season now seems demented. Be lucky if he gets a dozen. Bad in his own end again and now up to a -12 on the season. True definition of the term dead weight, and now, IMO, untradeable.
Pederson - nothing is happening here. Pederson is establishing, once again, he is not at a NHL level.
Bear - had a tough game and made several brutal turnovers. Think he got screwed up on the goal in the third by Boeser calling for the puck.
Hughes - defensive liability in this one. If you compare the steady play of Dobson, both ways, you might have second thoughts about who they should have taken.
Others
Lockwood - some nice defensive plays and did go to the body. Deserves a longer look.
OEL - as much as he doesn't earn his salary, the Canucks would miss him if he was out long term. Mostly did a good job of getting the puck up to the forwards.
Martin - had to come up, again, with some huge saves but he also again lost his angles on some of the goals.
Canucks have a clear imperative moving again. They need to get what they can rather than losing players for nothing in the off season and they need to get as high as possible in the draft.
