So, Whose Fault Was It?

[4thlinegrinders]

the entire team.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

How about the fact the Canucks really played about 4 1/2 periods of playoff hockey this series? Why isn't that an option?

 

[me2]

all of the above

 

[goodluckchuck]

starts with the Coach - who probably complains and whines about the refs in the locker room and that makes the player lose focus.

 

[hoodstar]

lack of EHRHOFF

we really need some PMD

 

[Bure All Day]

We signed Garrison and traded for Roy.

Garrison was just a replacement for Salo, albeit an improvement, so not even close ot a major change, Roy was a good move but he didn't help us too much in this series either

 

[ubiquitous]

Gillis. Walking away from Ehrhoff was one of the worst decisions ever.

Although I realize the circumstances, it makes me really sad inside watching Grabner buzz around with the Isles as well. The Luongo situation was handled horribly and not actually going all in on the deadline hooped us as well. I was happy to get Roy, but he's not a proven playoff guy by any means and it showed. The Ballard situation was also awful, and hooray for burning a year off Corrado's ELC. Mind numbing poor asset management.

Coaching staff needs to be revamped and I wouldn't be stunned if the front office was let go as well.

Raymond score a goal, had an assist and was one of our best players tonight.

The other 3 games he was bad though.

It's not Gillis' fault. He tried to address the team's needs as best he could. He can't be faulted for Roy disappearing.

 

[DennisReynolds]

The team. If they play like they did in the third period for one period in the other games, we would've had a chance to win.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I blame the imigants..... even when it was the bears, I knew it was the imigants.

 

[shortshorts]

Raymond score a goal, had an assist and was one of our best players tonight.

[Win One Before I Die]

The best part was that I didn't give a **** this year. We'll win next year... probably not.

The 2013 Canucks sucked and oh my god were they boring to watch. Oh well we can enjoy this amazing weather instead of getting upset over why the Canucks are broken.

 

[EpochLink]

From top to bottom, everyone is at fault.

 

[Dado]

I think Aquilini should be on that list.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Why is Luongo an option and not the Sedins?

Luongo, Corrado, and Hansen are perhaps the only players who can hold their heads up high with how they played this series. The rest should be disgusted with each other.

 

[y2kcanucks]

I think Aquilini should be on that list.

How about Burke and Nonis? People were talking about giving them credit for our 2011 run, do they get the blame for this too?

 

[thebigbea]

whole team but cory cost them the last 2 game..

 

[David71]

from top to bottom

 

[Bure All Day]

If you look at who i voted for, i chose everyone, so I'm not singling him out....

**** the refs, **** us not scoring when we have open nets, **** schneider this series playing at such a lower level than all year, **** AV for everything in between

 

[Hammer79]

There were many factors. In an evenly reffed series, this series would normally go 6 or 7 games and is a pick-em. I don't think either was the over-whelming favorite to beat the other.

If you're asking why we lost the series, it's the PK, lack of offense, and we simply didn't get solid goaltending from Schneider. If you're asking why we lost tonight to make it a sweep, it was a personal vendetta by Sutherland.

 

[pahlsson]

list of players who don't deserve any blame:

 

[PG Canuck]

I wouldn't be too harsh on the refs. That's playoff hockey.

Watching tonight's game I imagined my Oilers getting swept in the same fashion.

The coach (as brilliant as he is) is probably going to go. I bet you'll see a goalie a forward and a top 4 d-man shipped out.

I think any more change than that is pretty much impossible. But still, that's a lot of movement.

Which coach are you talking about? 'Cause it's certainly not ours.

Wings fan coming in peace.

I hate diving. Diving is the gameplan of the Sharks, it has been for several seasons now. It is a shame to hockey.
The Sharks are the team I hate most because of their diving.
I am very sorry you lost to them.

Hey, I accept that every team dives (including mine) but the Sharks really took it to a new Oscar winning level this series.

I have actually never seen anything quite like it.
