This is a damn coach error, and it has been so all over this down streak for the Canucks. You have a very strong line in Miller, Boeser and Pettersson. But you refuse to play it. Pettersson is invisible in his current line.
Way to coach yourself away from a playoff-spot.
How could they lose to LA of all teams?!
😁😁😁Did the announcer say "Cannots lost 6 of their last 7 games". March starts on Friday. Oh, no! Are the Cannots reeling at the wrong time? Well, we'll see what will develop in the next 2 months.😂😂😂😂!
Huge win to salvage the road trip for the Kings. 1-2-0 is obviously not a great road trip, but it's better than being swept.
Hiller dressed 11 forwards and 7 defenseman, which if I'm not mistaken, was the first time L.A. has done so all season. I assume it was because of the recent injuries that have plagued the Kings, but it worked quite well tonight, and I expect to see Hiller dress it again. Although, I do find it funny that the Kings offense erupts when there are less forwards in the lineup. 😅
I was worried about this game because Demko has been phenomenal in his career against the Kings. Coming into tonight, he had a .953 save percentage, and a 1.56 GAA in five career games against the Kings. Funny enough, when the Kings don't pepper him with shots, he allows more goals. Including tonight, in the two losses he's had against the Kings, he's faced 44 total shots, and 8 goals against.
In the 4 wins he has against the Kings however, he's faced 148 shots, and only allowed 7 goals. Hockey is a weird sport, but that's why it's the best!
I loved seeing Byfield and Clarke connect for that 4th Kings goal. That's the future for this team, and they're already doing great things now, and they'll onky continue to improve. Clarke needs to stay on the team for the rest of the season. Roster spots are limited, but he's looked great in most of the games he's played in, and I think he deserves to be on the team.
If the Kings can replicate this kind of performance, playoffs are guaranteed. Consistency is key, and that's been their biggest challenge all season, so hopefully they can string some wins together here.
Go Kings Go!
another example of how canuck are simply unable to rally under pressure… first round knockout.
The Canucks stank after Bains joined the team.
I have said this for the last 2 years. I DONT THINK PETEY WANTS TO PLAY HERE
Really disappointed in the Canucks right now, they lost six in their last seven games. Ever since losing Kuzmenko and Joshua, the team has since been going downfall.
They really need to start working on the following.
– Skate better and faster
– Pass better, so you won't accidentally pass to the opposing team.
– Do better on their power plays
– Shoot the puck whenever it's time, never wait until the last minute.
– Defend better
I really hope the Canucks improve on all of these techniques before the playoffs.
Pizdetsnahuiblyat!
Our teams done..our chemistry is gone. Sad but true.
Honestly was surprised to hear that the Canucks are 1-5-1 in their last 7 games after tonight's loss. I knew they were struggling, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.
something is seriously wrong with these overpaid a**holes … 3 shots in the 1st?? are you f'in kidding me?? no urgency, no fight, they are becoming last years team again — soft and easy to play against. there is no excuse to play the way they have been the last few weeks, and tonight's game was a statement: WE DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT TOUGH TEAMS
The Canucks just couldn’t win faceoff and puck battle in their own zone. Their feet look heavy, not willing to skate.
Another lacklustre performance, are we really a first place team in the league? Maybe they should get that out of their head, it sees they think they’re there coz they’re good. They’re not, like I’ve said before, they’re only in first place coz other teams don’t really care for that spot. What matters is you’re playing good and make the playoffs. This all started when Tochet started messing with the lineups. We’ve seen it before, it doesn’t work. And to say oh coz Joshua isn’t in the line up, go fuk urself, you still have Miller($9M/yr), Peterson, Hughes, basically your top guys there. So yah, no excuse!
Wow…not many expected this result. Fantastic win for the Kings after a couple tough losses
Wake up Petterson 🤦♂️ better re-think what they plan on paying this guy with the lack of effort he put out tonite sheesh
With peteys performance in the last bit, it's either he doesn't want to play here or we're seeing he might be more of a product of who he plays with. Either way, he's not playing Anywhere near a 10 mil player. You can tell the chemistry is off with these guys. Also why is Bains out there so much and playing on the PP? He's taking bad penalties to boot.
Way to go vancouver!!!
The lindholm trade still perplexes me a bit. One hes in his last year of his deal and we still havent signed ep40. Meanwhile we are kinda thin on the blue line and demmer cant keep bailing us out every game. I just think maybe it wasnt the right move to make and now with the decline in play it's tough because theyve been overachieving most of the year.
Tough loss, shake it of, on to the next game, go Canucks go.
Hahaha..love it losers..epic collapse In coming..
1. Petterson is clearly distracted from media talks about his contracts etc. I think it's pretty selfish of him to hold out in contract negotiations while his team is in a position to contend for a cup. You either re-sign now or you shut media down and tell them to stfu about contracts talk until after the season.
2. #80 is a waste of a roster spot. He has not earned PP time over some of the regulars in the lineup. He takes bad penalties and he looks lost out there majority of the time. Honestly what does he bring to the team and how is he playing on the first/second line?
3. I get Juulsen is trying but man… his split second decisions are just awful.
4. Thank you to Garland, Miller, Hoglander, Zadorov and the 4th line for always showing up and playing with so much energy despite the score (whether winning or losing)
5. It is losing stretches like this where team morale in the locker room is very important. I know Kuzzy and Dak would have brought life into the energy with their extroverted personality and humor. Especially Kuz. I always thought Kuz was just naturally dynamic on offense and could always create something out of nothing even if they didn't translate to actual goals.
why would you take a team thats in first place and on a pretty good roll and start readeing and getting rid of players the canucks have to many cooks in the kitchen and its hurting there play lololol
pety playing like he dont wanna get resigned, Boeser is playing like an off brand Ovi, tf is that negative backcheck, but hey all players and teams have slumps, im just hoping this is a shorter one
Canucks of old is starting to show, im so sick of this team after following them for over 50 years…
Bains is nothing special… he takes lazy penalties and every time the puck is on his stick he doesn’t know what to do with it. Call up Podkolzin, give him a shot instead. Mikheyev and Suter are doing nothing either. Canucks just need actual top 6 wingers. Boeser, Miller and Demko are the only ones trying. Pettersson needs to get his stuff together too.
It appears that the Canucks 3rd period curse was traded in for a new, second half of the season curse.
canucks have no chance in the playoffs if they even make them i dont look good lololol
Bad look Canucks… literally.
Yup, Canucks are going out in the 1st round
The game was very hard to watch. There were times when I didn't worry if the canucks were behind because you feel and see it in their game that they can catch up and win it at the end. But this time you can tell they just don’t have it. Players showing panic and no confidence at all at their shots even their passing. That being said there is no puck support. Players most of the time couldn't find open passes. They are playing as individual rather as a group
Never trade any player when your team is exceeding the expectations.
Ну что Касатки как дела после обмена Кузьменко? Выгодно обменяли?
Opposing teams are ramping up and playing the Nucks harder on the puck.
And they're adding a bit more physicality …… It's taken a toll,
Vancouver looks burned out. Tired.
well, it was fun while it lasted… signing Petty for 12mill+ /year will feel real good after that monster performance tonight. The type of player we need in big games.
Canucks better hold off on making anymore trades because this team is making an early exit this spring.
