Elliotte Friedman on the Canucks loss to the Oilers and their UFA and RFA’s
Hockey Night in Canada Insider Elliotte Friedman joined the guys to chat about the Canucks Game 7 loss to the Oilers and the future of their UFA and RFA’s this summer.
Canucks vs stars is going to be epic. Vancouver got smoked in game 6&7. Stars may sweep Canucks thats how deep they are with #1 goaltender. Keep the mustache, we are Men not babyface pansy’s.
I'm not interested in why we couldn't beat the oilers in the playoffs. The only question I want answered is WHAT THE HECK happened to this team after the All Star game ? They went from, not being near the top but actually ON the top of every offensive stat, they were the league leaders ! Then afterwards it was like they couldn't score at all. Several guys including our so called best player just slowly stopped scoring just fizzled out. And a few others of course never did score after November/December ( we won't name names but we know who that is). So wtf happened ?
i believe that if we had Demko,and Petey playing good this is a different series that being said ,our power play is fkin terrible all that talent and couldn't even get over the blue line that's a fault we need to fix.I think that we have a great management group that will keep adding to make this team much better. If you look at what they have done so far NHL team is heading in the right direction and the AHL team is full of really good prospects and made the playoffs also.Once they get the CAP under control will help .We may have lost in 2nd round but many had us not making the playoffs and we not only did that but won the division .this was a surprise year for sure, gonna be hard to do again but we are heading to the top and this time next year will be kicking everyone to curb lol GO CANUCKS GO
Canucks get an A+ for being pure exciting entertainment. If any Canucks fan think the Canucks deserve to win the Stanley Cup this run is clueless and in denial. I'm not clueless but still in denial. That's why it hurt so much like breaking up from a very bad relationship. 😂😂
the series flattered Vancouver, but Friedman is the ultimate non-offending cipher. Does he ever tell hard truths that the Canucks were just lucky to be close.
Vancouver lost to a team in Edmonton who was finally starting to get closer to their ceiling in games 5 and 6…. a much better team than Vancouver. Vancouver has a long way to go yet.
The biggest question facing the Canucks is what the fuck happened to Elias Petterrsson at the all-star game because he's been useless ever since. Potential to be a franchise destroying contract.
I would trade Petterssen, Demko, Mikheyev for Brady Tkachuk and Chychrun. This would give the Canucks an out on Pettersson's contract and get a player with heart and soul back. The trade makes sense for Ottawa as they would get a number one goalie. The Canucks could use the extra cap money to sign Zadorov and a couple of other players.
If they played the way they did in the last 5 minutes during the whole game, the Canucks would have won. its about consistency, Which they didnt have. They have shown they could do it. But they didnt produce. So on to the oilers and the hopes they win the cup.
Canucks had a great first half of the season and sort of played ok hockey from there on. Tocchet style of hockey wore them down essentially as it was evident throughout the latter part of the season and playoffs. Maybe a better physio team to keep em in shape especially EP.

Petterson and Hughes are not built for playoff hockey. Softer than 10 ply.
elliote sporting his canadian interview hairstyle and his B C style dress shirt.
I both love and hate the mustache. It's irritating and distracting, but also very full with a satisfying heft.
Trade hronek, keep Z.
I would keep zadorov over hronek

Elliott atleaat brush your hair dude lol
🤣"his looks normal"🤣
Canucks should sign Johnny Coconut from the wild goose league..he could be a bargain
Can the bat boy lol
Europeans and Russians are January players, not May players.
The closest Canucks have to tough Canadians are Miller and Hughes.

You can’t win when the refs are corrupt it’s all rigged for one team that the NHL big shots want it’s all about the money. That’s the truth

Trade Petey, Mikheyev. Weak mentality. Get rid of Cole.
