Post-Game Talk: Sharks felled by Canucks | 2-6 | Horvat (2), Pettersson, Mikheyev, Hughes, & Boeser

[Zippgunn]

As I predicted. Delia won't play until the 15th barring injury. Don't ask me why...

 

[sting101]

Are we one Draisaitl or Patrick Kane level player away from having the ability to mask our back end issues?

Does it work for the Hawks or the Oilers....well maybe if we get McDavid in this draft it might

 

[canuckking1]

Hoglander should be slotting in Lazar's spot

Pearson is a practice or two away from rejoining the team, that probably his spot.

Bald(ing) coaches do weird things with this franchise.

 

[strattonius]

Why wouldn't you start Delia after a momentum and confidence swinging game in Edmonton?

We are overworking a backup goaltender instead of splitting starts. Martin is getting starts like he's a proven starter - just such a bad decision. No one would question a Delia start and Martin is playing awful.

Play whichever goaltender is playing better and when that goalie cools down, swap. Martin getting every game is Boudreau that clueless?

 

[Pip]

Always nice to get to see Karlsson play with the way he’s going this year

 

[Hansen]

Unfortunately. Pearson being out had been one of the best things to happen to the lineup this year, except for when Bruce refused to give Podkolzin or Hoglander the ice time

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Pearson is a practice or two away from rejoining the team, that probably his spot.

Methinks Studnicka is the first guy out when Pearson is ready to return.

 

[Blue and Green]

Pearson is a practice or two away from rejoining the team, that probably his spot.

Pearson isn't expected back in the lineup for another two weeks.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Pearson isn't expected back in the lineup for another two weeks.

Wait we still have Pearson?!

Why you gotta harsh my groove like that.

 

[Peen]

Going off a @Jyrki21 tweet, feel like a cool Canucks preseason idea would be to have a game at the coloseum but limit the crowd to be 40+.

Probably would sell out instantly. Nostalgia.

That is a sweet idea.

Just do it in a couple of years so I actually have a benefit to turning 40.

My Dad is going to the game tonight - hope the boys can put together a good effort for him.

 

[kanucks25]

If Miller is going to play C, doesn't it make sense to swap Dries for a winger from the farm?

Even if they want to keep Hog and Pod down there, Lockwood seems like a good choice.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are people who just love the team unconditionally. And, I’m not saying that people cannot love the team while also simultaneously hating it like we do, but just that there are people who want to go see a good effort and a win.

Tbh sitting near the 60+ crowd or young families where both just want to see wins is the best experience.

This is why I don’t deride anyone in the GDTs enjoying a win. Just let people have a good time and watch some hockey without worrying about the minutiae. It’s actually far more healthy than us weirdos on message boards, Twitter, and Reddit angrily shouting and over analyzing everything. We don’t matter. We never will matter. Our opinions mean nothing and ownership & management will go by their whims alone while we twist ourselves into knots.

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Agree with you both, @Peen and @Vector. Let fans be fans in their own way.

I’ve been fortunate to have gone to a lot of hockey games over the years - when the team was good, and when it was awful. But it’s an irreplaceable experience that’s easy to take for granted.

My youngest will be 10 by the time he gets to see his first game (targeting April this year). We had tickets to a Canucks / Golden Knights game in April of 2020, but then COVID hit.

There’s a lot of people who never had the chance to go to a game, and some who might not get one.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Wait we still have Pearson?!

My friend has a broken down Mazda B Series pick up truck that has been totally trashed. It still probably has more in the tank than a slow ass Tanner Pearson.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Martin has conceded 8 goals in his last 2 games against the Sharks.

Completely agree. I said something to this effect awhile ago when someone was going at the crowd for not booing or something like that. There is a whole other world out there of people that go to these games for fun and aren't plugged in to the team at all. There are probably many people in the crowd who are simply happy to BE THERE, let alone about the state of the team.

[SeawaterOnIce]

Martin has conceded 8 goals in his last 2 games against the Sharks.

Martin has also conceded 5 goals 4 times in his past 6 games and has a GAA of 3.66.

Well said. This is reality.
