Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM7 | Canucks lose to Oilers | 2-3 (Garland & Hronek) | Season Over

[Jack Tripper]

Where was the desperation in Game 6 and Game 7, other than the last 5 minutes?

That series was there for the taking.

 

[StickShift]

Game 7—if only they had shown up in the first 50 minutes.

But really, this series was decided by the losses in games 2 and 4. Either game Vancouver could’ve won.

 

[Joe Rogan]

Clean house this off-season, eliminate all the passengers. Almost every free agent wanted a raise but played like dogshit. Fire the special teams coaches

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Man. Almost had enough magic left at the end.

Glad they made a fight of it. Wish they’d played a whole 60 like that - but man.

What a season. Great to finally have some new playoff memories to cherish.

Arturs Silovs, take a bow. What a playoff.

To everyone here - thanks for a great ride. I loved going through it with you all.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The pick we sent over in the Lindholm trade is a forth. Not a third.

Minor victory but woohoo.

 

[Canucks LB]

Proud of this team, almost pulled it off

 

[TruKnyte]

We need to learn how to pace better in the reg season.

Also have more than one strategy for offense

 

[MikeK]

Heck of a season. Was so much fun. Love playoff hockey. They can't play dump and change hockey for 40 minutes then hit a switch and expect to win in the playoffs. That system needs to change.

They played that way for two full elimination games basically outside that brief period in the third. I don't even think the Oilers are particularly good. They gave it away.

 

[LordBacon]

I am very proud of the bois.
We will look back at this season and build upon it.

It's be a pleasure riding with you folks.
Onto the next season!

 

[Yultron]

Proud of this team , the season was certainly a huge success , this team has a bright future .

We need a big off-season

 

[arttk]

Just wanna say this was the most fun I've ever had watching the Canucks. And all you guys were a big part of that.

Our future is bright.

Let's go CANUCKS!

This person is the champ of this message board

 

[mossey3535]

Anyways boys, it's been a crazy amazing season. A lot of us were here through the dark times of the last 8 years. Can you believe we pushed it to game 7? It's unbelievable we're at this place. The team has so much promise, and these lessons are best learned early. Thanks to everyone here, looking forward to next season!

 

[SillyRabbit]

You wonder how long the Canucks can play a system where they have to outwork the opposition every night to win. They looked exhausted out there.

Very well put.

The Canucks play like a team that doesn't have much talent. Like a Nashville type team.

Meanwhile Edmonton plays like a team that knows they're better than you.

 

[Nuckles]

Also have more than one strategy for offense

And to have any kind of strategy whatsoever for the powerplay

 

[Slapshot_11]

They let brock down with that pitiful effort

 

[ProviesGhost]

I see my ignore list is going to grow pretty quickly LOL.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Hated the coaching in the playoffs. Playing loser sit back hockey. Infuriating. Then when they got down they played a lot better when they were allowed to. Not sure this team will go any further than they did this year with EP and Tocchet coaching this way.

 

[Tables of Stats]

It's not the ending I would have liked but down Boeser and Demko I expected worse from this one. I just wish we'd played in the first two periods rather than sitting back and generating zero offense.

 

[Bgav]

Lafferty playing over Podz might have cost the game at the end. Sad

 

[Sedinery]

Imagine the atmosphere if mik scored
Or if we did not shit the bed on the 4 minute pp?

Tocchet feared the oilers, wanted to play tight. Gave them too much respect. They can’t play d under pressure !!!

Outcoached by a rookie coach

 

[TruKnyte]

And to have any kind of strategy whatsoever for the powerplay

They need to hire a PP coach, that’s nonnegotiable.

 

[M2Beezy]

Gotta hand it to the Oilers, their forecheck and defense in the final four minutes was suffocating.

The Canucks had no quality chances even with the goaltender pulled.

Their coach is pretty good, despite some of their fans giving him a hard time. That timeout, tho obvious, really calmed them down and they came thru defensively. Hats off to him and them. They played a better 7 game series and won it. Too bad for us but i can recognize that as one salty bitter mutherf***ing Canucks loving fan

 

[aquaweenie]

Love toch but the second that far too cautious lineup was put together you knew we were losing. Tentative and content to sit back.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Always a step behind
