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

[Zombotron]

After a near-decade of organizational rot courtesy of Jim Benning, it feels good to be in this position. I'm f***ing proud of this team. What a season! They'll be back next year.

 

[iFan]

I have very little confidence in Pettersson

 

[Canucks LB]

It was a pleasure everybody

 

[Peen]

Just really enjoyed the season. Nothing to overreact to given that we played that last game without our only goal scoring forward this playoffs and our elite goaltender.

Tip your hat, make the improvements necessary without emotion involved, and cheer for Tanev to get a cup here.

That’s all. Excited to see what this management group can do this summer.

 

[Flik]

WHAT A SEASON. The future is f***ing BRIGHT.

So many things to learn from this mini run. All the pressure is on Allvin and Tocchet now. Make the moves, fix up the roster, tweak the PP coaching and LF f***ING GO!!

Go Canucks!

I had so much fun with y'all this year!

 

[jd22]

Sigh. My sleep.

I had a feeling the game was over when Van didn't score on the 4 min pp. Sure enough.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

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

Is it too late to get a 5th back?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Pettersson had 1 goal in 13 games. The questions start now.

 

[Sedinery]

Tocchet mik on top line ?

Blind much ?

 

[NoShowWilly]

okay pettersson what is up with your leg. i still think there is an issue there.

hughes probably broken ribs.

 

[Felidae]

It was a really disappointing final effort. But honestly it was a good, really important run for this roster. Lets remember how inexperienced these group of players are in the postseason, and that we took a far more experienced Oilers team to 7 games without our starting goalie who happens to be one of the best in the league.

Come back better next season!

 

[Sedinery]

Thankfully Dallas has a real coach

Oilers don’t stand a chance

 

[MikeK]

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

That was a headscratcher decision for me as well. Hindsight is always 20/20 but I would have played Podz for sure.

 

[Vector]

I can finally shave this incredibly itchy playoff beard.

 

[LadyJet26]

Too little too late. I'm looking forward to next season!

 

[arttk]

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

Toc is the pp coach, more like get a dedicated pp coach.
Pk is fine and got better.

Laf, Mik can f*** off.
Prioritize Lindy, get Guentzel, Tanev and then tell the boys they have one week off and get back to training.

 

[dez]

Is this the start of Tocchets villian arc, lot of Tocc criticism, he can only coach what he’s given.

 

[just22]

What’d he do?

They showed him during the beginning of the handshake and he looked like he was complaining about something

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Btw

The same people who think this core has peaked are the same one who thought this was a lottery team

 

[WiLBoY]

Every single game except game 5, we show up in the last 10 minutes

It's pretty hard to win a series that way.

 

[PavelBure10]

Great season. Disappointing game 7 in the second round until the last 5 minutes of the game. Once this team learns to play a full 60 minutes look out. Glad to see Hronek Finally get one. Silovs made some amazing saves, truly remarkable. Good push back but way too late. Garland is all heart. The big guns must of been hurt. Either way an amazing season.

 

[quat]

I thought the Canucks actually play better when trying more for offense, but Tocchet clearly disagreed. Watching Mikheyev miss that early chance ... that's this team in a nutshell. If there's one player that really sunk the teams offensive fortunes, it was he. So many wide open chances this season and one goal in 60 games? You're just not going deep like that.

Changes for next season

 

[Canucks LB]

Going to take a few hours before I write up my final major post on the season, but man it was a hell of a run

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

Team made some huge leaps this season. Just need to keep building it one brick at a time.

It's great that this team can defend finally. They definitely list their offensive mojo after the all star game so there is stuff to figure out there.

Looking forward to seeing what this management group has planned for the off-season.

 

[Bubbles]

Dallas in 4.
