Are the Canucks really contenders?



After a rough stretch and a 5-1 loss to the Kings that head coach Rick Tocchet called ‘egregious’, 7 Eleven That’s Hockey examines whether or not the Canucks are really contenders.

  1. Think their talking bout Petey… Sorry he aint worth 12 mill… Hell no… I became a Canuck Fan in 82 cause of
    King Richard Brodeur… Sorry to say but Petey is a little softy gets know off the puck so easily… Try to go after Quinn brother
    build with them… Petey it aint it… 💯 U guys are blind and cant see it.. I havent seenh soo many give aways by Petey as well..
    Once he gets the puck he sometimes fumbles it on its own??? How the fuck do u do that and ur a Pro and a Star Player???
    Its time to move him… Look at 23 he aint staying… and He aint worth more than Miller either… Fuuk that… Heard he was aksing around 8-9 mill… Instead of Lindholm we should of got Sharangovic… Ever since that trade this team hasnt been the same…

  2. I'm here to decipher what these 2 twits are saying ! IT'S TAKEN other teams this long in the season to break down and implement a counter strategy to what the Canucks did in the first half of the season . Or the canucks are getting lazy and sloppy .

  3. Nope. You don't go 1 for 16 on the PP when you can put six all-stars on the ice at the same time, and still consider yourselves contenders.

  4. Not with the way they've been playing lately, too many bad habits creeping back in, and they arent getting the lucky bounces they were getting, but you cant rely on lucky bounces, they need to get pucks on the net, go hard for rebounds, battle hard…i get it they look tired, especially demmers(they need to give him a break). But they gotta play how toc is telling them to "if you're tired, you gotta play smart, make smart choices." Also, they can't let mistakes pile up in a single play. That's beer league/junior level stuff. Never chase a mistake because it takes you out of position

  5. Let see jsut 8 months ago this exact core was inconsistent at best and all of a sudden they become cup favourites? No team gets high up that quickly…

  6. Depends on how u define contender… if u think contender means a team with even a decent chance to compete for the cup then no not a chance they r contenders😂

  7. They might snag a round or 2 because the west is fairly weak, but eventually they're going to run into knights or avs and it's all over.

  8. I hope the Canucks start free falling, Oilers still have games in hand on them, they could end up 1st in the div by the end of the season 🙂

  9. The Vancouver Canucks are Mid. Canucks fans would be well served to be realistic about your team and that way you'll be far less disappointed come playoffs.
