Patrick Johnston of The Province weighs in on the Canucks’ OT loss to the Blues, Rick Tocchet’s postgame comments on Elias Pettersson, Nikita Zadorov’s benching in the third period, what this says about the Canucks before the deadline, and whether there any internal solves for the top 6 beyond Nils Höglander and Pius Suter.

I hope this fanbase doesn't riot when The Pettersson trade goes down! Hopefully they don't get forced into a bad deal.
He doesn't want to re-sign in Vancouver. It's painfully obvious!
Great show fellas!
Hope Elias Leaves!
Patterson is not worth 12m my gosh package him up w Kuz and GET a better player 4 less money. who will stay consistant.
Canucks do not need another project player heading into the playoffs. Kuzmenko and Monahan would be too much.
Kuzmenko is the problem, not Pettersen. Bali off season followed by spinning in circles until he is knocked off the puck. His forecheck is to skate to the puck carrier and stand next to him until they pass it away.
Patrick is reading waaaay too far into this. Tocchet's not playing 5d chess with his comments. If he says he wants Pettersson to skate more, I take that at face value. It's easy to see what he means if you watch what's happening off the rush, and you see how they keep passing along the perimeter in the O-zone. I think the article was fine, but this additional commentary is way off base.
the hard-boiled ever-so lean 'n mean 'coach tocchet' was clearly disgusted with the wispy little swede's obviously opportunistic flop 'n dive routine at such a key moment during the impending finality of 'overtime' … there is no place for 'third-world' soccer histrionics in rick's hard-drivin' nhl playbook … amen…
The Vancouver media is mentally ill lol
Our forwards in general are still a bit small and soft. If we can we could use two players with size that can play and be physical when need be. At least weigh more than 205 and 6-2. Not many of those kind of players available. Most are old and at the end of the line. Rather not overpay for a rental. Jenner is my pick if we had to. And one of the few we have a chance on. Tarasenko is a pylon. A big one. Shawn probably does not move the needle. Would cost to much to get Bertuzzi from Toronto. Max Comtois is still out there and was not called in for questioning. Could be a decent depth signing. We are so close to having the team to win it all. Guentzal would cost way to much. We still might be able to win with this team but we need at least one more good forward.imo
Suter played under Colliton in Chicago. PS had the same reputation then: affordable Swiss Army knife with a scoring touch.
This is so funny that the fact we're now talking about how we're not exactly the deepest team when it comes to wingers, and how I also distinctly rmbr how back before we bolstered up our defence(which was not that long ago at all) at that time we were all saying we need to add defence and wingers was not even in the conversation because we just stacked with wingers lol. Fast forward to now and now we're short on wingers already lol it just feels so odd because it feels like it was just ysdty that we had an abundance of wingers lol.
6:43 they need to learn to beat teams they dont like to play against, like St Luis (and Philadelphia?)
