This video is my instant reaction to the Canucks loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Canucks could not match the energy of the Lightning, who rallied around their fans after a turbulent week in Florida. I may seem frustrated in the video, but I assure you it is because I want to see my team win. Hopefully my response to the game on Thursday is more cheerful.

What changes to the lineup would you like to see next game?
The "duos we will never, ever break up" mentality prevents Tocc from even trying what could be more effective lines. I was saying before the season began that I'd like to see:
DeBrusk – Pettersson – Boeser
Joshua – Miller – Garland
as the top 2 lines. Obviously Joshua being on IR makes that impossible right now. So I'd slide Heinen up into Joshua's place. And it just so happens that the highest paid 6-7 forwards also end up being the top 2 lines this way. Imagine that
I'm actually not worried at all. They keep improving regardless of win or loss, each game they look better than the last. I like that Tocc isn't afraid to get creative with the lines this early in the season. Early losses will just fan their flame and lead to a harder fighting, more focused team imo. None of our top guys are producing like they should, but I'd much rather that than having no depth.
I'm so sorry and I means no disrespect but respectfully who tf is #13 Bains I just never heard of him before
Goal #1 wasnt just Juulsen. Lots of guys missed assignments there, namely Blueger
How many times did they drop 3 straight last year
Your frustration was cathartic for me. I've been in a slump all day
they have a hard schedule in the first 10 games. They better find a way to win a few or this start coould crush the whole year. I think they can be okay. Pettersen needs to sit out. Hes terrible. Juulsen fell it was an accident you cant blame the loss on him Dumb
How does Juulsen fall that easy. If that was Vincent there. He wouldn't of fell that easy. But too me in this game, it felt like they was taking a fall. They was flat footed. Also its good to see the ex Canucks are doing good. Zadorov, Lindholm, and Mykeiv or whatever his name was all have a point or points. 😭😭😭 Not like our team.
i’m not worried in the slightest look at colorado edmonton and nashville all terrible starts worse then ours i feel confident in the team and i just think they have a few things to work on and we should have a good season
Their PK was excellent, their PP is confusing as all hell. DeBrusk for 7 years? Eesh
I don’t like Tocchet’s reluctancy to make changes within the game. He’s quite hard bent on sticking to whatever choice he made before the start of the game, even if it means the team will lose.
From vancouver, im laughing at this title and 😂
the start of the year has been quite alarming to say the least. no jump outside of the 1st against calgary. time for them to drop the immature weak plays, stupid giveaways and play a mans game.
New top 2 lines:
Höglander Miller Boeser
Pettersson Räty Debrusk
Something tells me Räty would be good for Petey. Similar to playing with Miller. Räty and Petey would essentially share Centre.
We need our 11.6million dollar forward to play like a 11.6million dollar forward lol..
Last year he was killing it until the All Star break. People made excuses for his poor finish. "Oh he had poor quality linemates. Oh he was injured"
We literally signed a top 6 forward to play assist and play alongside him this season and he still looks lost out there lol
Juulsen is horrible at defence. He did the exact same thing in playoff last year. He cant skate for shit, coughs up pucks and falls way to easily all the time. All he knows how to do is bang and the days of having one skill set defencemen are over. We shoulda kept Big Z. at least he could score & bang.
These first games are like preseason games. Once Joshua gets back in the lines will stabilise.
No forward pushback without Joshua.Miller would be the one exception to that rule.
The third line D needs an upgrade from Juulsen and Co..
Silovs is not Demko and Lankinen looks better at this early stage.
This is why fans across the league don’t like Vancouver fans.
97% of the season left and people are already not renewing their season tickets. F this fan base.
Petey better reject those direct deposits…. cause he ain't earning them!
And I agree, Hogs needs to be moved up!
Where’s that fire the coach button? Or give petey a raise button ? 😀 PETEY! I like him… mAking nucks lose 🤪 that’s why I watch hockey to see nucks lose 🤓 … awesome… also Canucks on the right path to losing
Still better then the Coilers
Reading these comments show me some people know absolutely nothing about hockey, guarantee these guys were saying the same thing about boeser when he hit a slump or miller 2 years ago, 3 games in chill tf out at least we have 2 points
Canucks suck , have for 50 years , dont lose any sleep over it bud.
Don’t EVER put bains on millers wing, he isn’t the player they need, you could pick Sherwood, suter, hoglander, garland, or heinen
I blame Noah Juulsen for the Oilers series loss, more than any other player. He's a bonehead
i guarantee we aren’t going to make the playoffs this year
The Oilers had a rough start early last season and they got one win away from the Stanley Cup. Just goes to show that every team in the NHL is in it for the long haul and that you can't trust any small sample size. It also goes to show that there's a reason why the head coach is Rick Tocchet and the GM is Patrik Allvin, and not some random commentors.
Sleepy Petey got it wake up buddy! You need to or season is over and you will be traded!
Last year the Canucks were great. So let’s throw a grenade into the mix, get rid of half of the team and bring in new ones. Now the Canucks are a dud. Makes sense to me.
You fans such
He won coach of the year
Have a few bad games
And your all over the team
It only 3 games in give them a brake
Pettersson the ghost 👻
Overpaid
Not hungry enough
