At least Vegas and the Oilers lost too 🙂
Seems like the only thing that’s regressed is the underdog challenger mentality we had at the beginning of the season where we fought for every inch and now it seems like we are complacent and expect things to come. Need to get back to hard work we had in the beginning of the season. Shooting mentality has kinda disappeared and looking too much for the perfect pass.
Myers playing top 4 mins is a disaster.
Juulsen is an ECHL defenceman.
They all need to crawl back into their cryogenic chambers like in their intro video and get some sleep and wake up until gametime.

Höglander has been playing great lately and he was one of the best tonight. Miller has also been fantastic ignoring the occasional dumb penalty. I thought this was one of Boesers weaker games but I also thought PDG struggled and has been for a few games now.
Petey line struggled again both offensively and defensively. Idk what’s going on with him but Kuz and Mik didn’t look great either. Third lines misses Suter badly I don’t think Blueger works there at all. Beauvillier had a decent shift on the end goal but majority of the game he was playing poorly and cost us a goal. I don’t think he fits this team when playing bottom 6.
Oh well onto the next game.
Too many bad passes and they looked slow. Plus all the perimeter shots, just to be blocked by Oleksiak was so frustrating. Disappointing performance, I hope Tocchet gets this team going for the next. They’ve looked tired in these past 5 games..
Why was Juulsen in over Friedman?
Really noticeable step down defensively for the Canucks. The Kraken players had way less pressure on them when they had the puck. Offensively, pretty decent for the Canucks. Glad that Hoglander continues to get results. Hope he can become a consistent producer this season. Onto the next game!
The streak is over, the regulation loss at home finally comes in mid-November.
Respect to hoggz for making it 4-3, preserving our honour on the stat sheet. We weren’t going to tie it but 4-3 just make the L hurt less
Either way, bad game. Fuck you seattle, Cale Makar did nothing wrong.
Funny thing is, if you told me at the beginning of the season that we would be 12-5-1 at this point I wouldn’t have bought it.
Guess we should be putting things in perspective – we were spoiled by a hot start. Hopefully they can settle into their groove and we can get a playoff spot locked in.
Past few games have not been very good. Islanders game included.
Put a statue of Hoglander infront of rogers arena
Bieksa talking about the defensive play on that last Kraken goal. He’d be interesting to see as a coach.
Fucking loved the two set plays near the end!
flatfooted again and got outplayed by a weaker team.
so many bad turnovers.
now this is the canucks hockey we are all familiar with.
hopefully at least hogs won’t be benched now, i like how he sometimes slips bys defenders and causes an odd man rush, he also drives the net
Seattle cooked us defensively, they were selling out to block passes and shots like it was a playoff game. Oleksiak might’ve had the game of his life in that respect lmaooo
It’s my bad guys, I realised it was 3am whilst drinking and quietly tuned in, I promise to not watch another live game this season which makes me a sad Englishman but I must accept that I can only watch our glory from afar and only wear a jersey the day after a win, also I’m sorry I cut my hair mid run! 😘
guess that helps the rivalry then?
I don’t want Petey to make 12+ because I still want to like him
Is it just me or has Petey been really quiet lately?
Losing points vs division opponents is the worst part, especially if we’re helping Seattle and Calgary getting back into the mix.
Schedule does not get easier until end of November so they better figure it out, we play so many crucial division games this month
Can we just have the Petey line as third line and the fourth line with Hoglander in as 2nd?
Also we need to learn to adapt. The other teams have adjusted to our style of play and the ball is in our court now. If we can’t respond, then our season is over. If we can, Tocc gets a Jack Adam.
Also, I was too young for the Torts year. How’s this year comparing to that year so far?
The team is allowed to lose games and have games not look great. Despite the outcome, they were still able to come back to 4-3 and really utilize the last 10 seconds with two good plays.
Seen this many times with the Canucks, but I actually see a solid potential for them to come together this year.
Hopefully it was just tough scheduling/travel this past week, maybe some rest and some sharks will get our mogo back.
We’re definitely missing Soucy and Suter.. that much is obvious.
Petey was more of a presence tonight, but we’re seeing teams now adapting and stifling our movement in all zones.. less time and space on the powerplay, and not giving up shooting lanes.
Couple mistakes led to goals against – props to Seattle for making us pay.
Not overly concerned. Just need to keep working at closing our gaps defensively and adapting our play and we’ll do just fine.
Happy to see hog and kuzy on the ice tonight – Hog had a strong game.
Could we insist that the “war room” in Toronto take a course in basic spatial reasoning?
Dogshit game for our top players.
I really hope Bieksa is right, and this next stretch of the schedule is easier on them, cause this team really needs a reset.
The things that made them so successful to this point have gone out the window. Defensive coverage is scrambly and disjointed, passes are going through easily, and the team is cheating constantly, trying to make breakouts happen without properly supporting the D and making sure that they have possession.
On offence, puck movement is sloppy, and just way too many low-percentage plays, passes, and shots. The movement that made their offence so potent early on has been static.
I get it, they’re tired and it’s noticeable, so hopefully this next stretch is a bit easier and lets them get their feet back under them. But we’ve see what this team is capable of now, and I definitely don’t want to see them be as sloppy as they’ve been the last few games.
I still don’t understand how that one goal that trickled in counted… mostly because it was in demkos equipment for a couple seconds before he backed into the net and it trickled in. Why wasn’t it blown down when the ref lost sight of the puck?
Canucks have never won a game when I’m in the arena! Been a fan since 03′.
👎🏼
A good reminder that we need to work hard for wins. Perhaps our hot start made some players overconfident or they are just tired, but they need to get back to the basics and outwork the other team.
Watching after hours, Cole is definitely a very important acquisition. Very well spoken and demonstrated that he really brings that veteran presence in the locker room. Very glad we have a guy like him in the room.
Anybody watching after hours? The slow-mo of Cole losing his teeth is fuckin painful to watch. Owwwwwwww man. I like this guy.
After hours with Scott oake “hey you used to have perfect teeth let’s talk about that”. Rude ass.
There’s a lot of speculation that the team looks tired because of the schedule. I think in addition to the scheduling there’s an even more important reason: outside of the Philly game, the team played a very high tempo, strong back checking style for the first dozen or so games which is difficult to sustain simply because of how much energy it takes out of you. There’s a good reason why many players don’t like to skate hard on every back check, since your legs will bear the brunt of it the next day.
Tocchet needs to figure out how to adjust his system to be more sustainable, otherwise it’s going to be really tough for the boys going forward.
Quinn sounded like he couldn’t wait to be done with that interview lol
How perfect is it that all the Canucks big 3 remain in lockstep tied for league lead in points?
Do we all want Quinn to pull away with it so he wins the Art Ross as a defenceman?
Just came back and checked the score. Wtf happened?
Bench Perry
We didn’t play well. But, we knew a bad-ish stretch would come at some point. I still believe this is a good, playoff level team.
Yet another game where Hughes and Hronek are on for half the game. I’m not even sure how Tocc can fix this
Tank for draft
It’s quite obvious we need more defensive help. Juulsen and Hirose aren’t guys that should be playing in the NHL this year. We desperately need another RHD, preferably one that can play on the 2nd pairing. Another depth LHD would help us tremendously as well. If we can’t get either of these, we’re going to have a real hard time in playoffs, especially if we have injuries.
We were due for a regression at some point and we had to lose in regulation at home eventually.
That said, I thought we were outskated and looked tired. Maybe it’s the schedule. Two back to backs in a week is killer.
Hopefully we get back on track vs the sharks. The sharks will probably come out strong against us after the last game so it’s not an ironclad win either. Sigh…
I see a lot of comments with tough scheduling and yes, it’s a lot of games in X amount of days but every team has these issues it’s not just the nucks so to give them an excuse is not acceptable in my opinion, both cgy and seattle games were winnable and yes calgary was prob a pass but this one is not, I thought the guys played poorly again and of course count on myers to blow a tire and end up costing us the GWG.
If we lose to San jose this will just remind me of last years team.
I also love how Tocchet isn’t delusional and doesn’t make shit excuses for this team, right man for the job!
Not happy but glad Kuzmenko is all right. Can’t keep giving up leads like this. CGY and now SEA we have given up leads. The Canucks need to be tighter on the defence and less showy/tricky with their passes. I don’t mind that they skate and make room to pass but too many passes and not enough shots.
I had no idea losing Soucy would be mess up this team’s defense this badly????
Holy fuck, aside from the Philly game, that was the most frustrating Canucks hockey I’ve watched all season.
