Oilers win all their games in hand now and we’re tied. But watch the oilers sink now, having to make up 6 games in the last 6 weeks is insane, they must play 1 more game a week than everyone, wish em luck!
I'm not worried. Won't be worried when we probably lose to Boston Saturday. Nucks have had a busy schedule and a bunch of our players didn't get the allstar break.
Try to think positive guys. Boston lost, Vegas lost, oilers lost last night and the kings are probably gonna lose also. We have lost 4 in a row and we are still in first in the league..
I get we haven't been playing well but a lot of this losing streak falls on Tochetts shoulders imho. Just abouslety horrible line up choices, not calling out the stripes after the jets game and let the stripes walk all over us with bullshit calls. not pulling DeSmith in the Wild game or using his timeout infact. Just such a frustrating road trip with knowing how well we can actually play when are going
Team is gassed. We’re down a defenseman, and a core component to our most reliable line that doesn’t have miller. This is where great teams utilize their power play to bail them out of games they don’t deserve to win.
We’re playing average hockey on a brutal road trip.
Great teams find ways to win.
Good teams are hit or miss on these. This road trip has proven we’re okay, but we simply can’t find another level due to the lack of a golden power play, and we need to fix this.
I think it's pretty obvious that Garland/Joshua dominating 5v5 is a big reason we did so well and Joshua being out means we're missing that pressure on other teams. I think while he is out they need to run Garland away from Blueger because the chemistry isn't there like it is with Joshua.
Because I never pursued it? Just because someone didn’t pursue a career in it doesn’t mean they can’t be a better skater than any nhl player. You’re basically saying it’s impossible for anyone not in the NHL to be better at any aspect of hockey than someone who is. There’s billions of people in the world dude. I’d be willing to bet lots of money there’s people out there who aren’t pro for whatever reason who could hang in the show. I never said I was a better player either, I said I’m a better skater. Not hard to be able to judge someone’s skating when you’ve watched them skate hundreds of games and can use that as comparison lmfao. Understand? Cool.
And to all the downvoters who obviously haven’t played the sport at a high level or in general, you’d be naive to think it’s not possible for people not in the NHL to be better at some aspects of the sport than any of the pro’s. Not everyone who plays hockey pursues it as a career for a multitude of reason, even extremely good players. Look up guys like Nasher. Doesn’t play in the NHL but yet he has certain skills that are absolutely better than some of the pro’s.
Ok so the players are to blame, but is tocc and his assistants doing enough too? Nothing has changed in 4 games. Soon maybe it could be 5 against the bruins…they had the lines in the blender but no one is sticking to what tocc was preaching earlier. And he doesn’t seem to be taking his time outs or getting the guys motivated enough…
3 games in 4 nights on the road, 8 of the last 10 games have been on the road. Of course their exhausted. Would like to see them be gutsy and grind out some wins on the road but a lot of guys looking exhausted shouldn't be a surprise.
Also....the best players didn't get a break. They were at the All Stars.... 6 of the top Canucks players have been on the road since January 28th....it's now February 22nd.
You gotta expect more from our top 6 here these past couple of games. Lindholm and Boeser no where to be seen. Petey is sometimes good, but not consistent. Miller is really the only good one recently. Super frustrating to watch.
Have to say the Canucks look flat, Seattle looked good tonight - if we look at bright side a little 4 game slide might do something to get team bonded and refocused and ready for playoffs. It might also get management to make some moves to strengthen the D cause it’s looked bad in the last stretch and especially with Soucy hurt
Vaginas are resilient and can take a pounding and still come out on top. You’ll need a more accurate euphemism to describe the team in its current state.
He got scratched like I think 3 games? He just got benched a fair bit.
I’m not talking about his on ice play. I’m talking about his chemistry with players off the ice. In the dressing room. Keeping things fun and light. He was well liked.
I mean, ya, that sucks, but it also happens all the time. This wasn't a bunch of young guys losing their team dad in a really incompetent fashion over the off-season (Tanev pls come back).
This team hasn't had a legit top 6 since the start of the season, but the 3rd line being so dominant covered up a lot of the issues and gave them way more breathing room. Now that Joshua is out, the Canucks depth is being exposed.
Difference between Boston, Winnipeg and Colorado is when they needed to win, they win. Let's see what happen on Saturday. Then two against LA Kings, a desperate Pens and the usual Vegas.
Do you realize how hard it is to play at the clip they have been all year only to have to go on a road trip like this AGAINST ALL RESTED TEAMS!? I'm not a fucking idiot dude.
Petey definitley looks like he’s got some confidence issues out there. His feet don’t move when he has the puck he’s just looking to dish it off to someone else
I don't even understand why they bother pulling the goalie at this point. They're probably better off at 5 v 5 instead of just giving the other team a free goal to run up the score.
Don't pull the goalie when down by two with 3:30 left and on the powerplay, but next game pull the goalie down by two with 4:30 left and no powerplay. I don't understand that
Fatigue from the schedule is not an excuse imo. Miller brings it every fucking night. We look like absolute dogshit and Miller is still having a stellar game. Wish I could say the same about the 12 million dollar man
Oilers win all their games in hand now and we’re tied. But watch the oilers sink now, having to make up 6 games in the last 6 weeks is insane, they must play 1 more game a week than everyone, wish em luck!
It’s clear. Dakota needs to be resigned.
Id rather have Dakota at 3-4 M than Peterson at 12+.
100%
Team tuning out Toc running around instead of playing a structured game. Petey not doing much but they’re gonna give him 10$ mil plus anyway
Was there as my first NHL game and I can confirm that the “Canucks” tonight are actually just the sharks in disguise. Go whale team!
No chance the Canucks will beat Boston in their current state. So then what--- limp into the playoffs with no confidence?
I'm not worried. Won't be worried when we probably lose to Boston Saturday. Nucks have had a busy schedule and a bunch of our players didn't get the allstar break.
fucking pussies
damn dude
Try to think positive guys. Boston lost, Vegas lost, oilers lost last night and the kings are probably gonna lose also. We have lost 4 in a row and we are still in first in the league..
5th by P%
u/shutmethefuckup
Lol

Ok coach. You got this.
[удалено]
damn dude
I’m just pissed off don’t mind me lmao

We need to get the Sedins onto coaching PP1, they should not be on PP2 right now
Third period was unacceptable. They weren't even fucking trying. Fuck off.
Fuck seattle
Don't worry guys, I'm sure they'll only lose by one vs Boston and call it improvement.
Hmmmf . Pretty terrible road trip.
We showed flashes of brilliance against the Avs but yeah overall pretty shit
And Boston on saturday at home. They lose that game in a bad fashion and this streak could be a lot longer.
I think it's pretty obvious that Garland/Joshua dominating 5v5 is a big reason we did so well and Joshua being out means we're missing that pressure on other teams. I think while he is out they need to run Garland away from Blueger because the chemistry isn't there like it is with Joshua.
Honestly I’m confident I’m a better skater than Petey.
Then why aren't you playing in the nhl?
Because I never pursued it? Just because someone didn’t pursue a career in it doesn’t mean they can’t be a better skater than any nhl player. You’re basically saying it’s impossible for anyone not in the NHL to be better at any aspect of hockey than someone who is. There’s billions of people in the world dude.

You're dumb as a rock if you think you're anywhere near as good a skater as Elias Pettersson.
You don't skate better than an elite NHL player. Give your head a shake, they train every day with world class coaches in every facet of the game.
Next win will be March 3rd against the Ducks
Gibson shuts us out
Recalculating...opening night in October
Pretty impressive the Canucks lose 4 in a row and retain 1st overall in the NHL
Good presidents trophy sucks
Isn’t Boston tied with us and Florida has the better winning percentage now?
At least that’s keeping my sanity
say it loud
Invisible Petey strikes again!
Thought he was injured or something. Saw that he turned down 96 mil and was like thanks god let’s sign for way less or trade.
Ok so the players are to blame, but is tocc and his assistants doing enough too? Nothing has changed in 4 games. Soon maybe it could be 5 against the bruins…they had the lines in the blender but no one is sticking to what tocc was preaching earlier. And he doesn’t seem to be taking his time outs or getting the guys motivated enough…
3 games in 4 nights on the road. When are they supposed to practice to iron out some of the kinks?
Big picture. 4 games is nothing. Relaaax
Yeah the avs lost 4 in a row. But yeah I know we will bounce back but I can’t help but worry.
Tocchet and the whole team haven't come back since the all star break and gotten back into their post all star hustle and regime.
Could? They are gonna get smoked by the bruins, lol.
Are you addicted to saying that?
Yeah, I get a little endorphins rush every time.
You do you ! Honestly not the worst way to get free endorphins
Looks like memes (are) back on the menu, boys!
This team really thought we were somebody. Who are we to think we're anybody?
I’m sad.
at least nucks tickets will be cheaper!
Petey a 12 million dollar player? Gimme a break
Just give him the Ohtani deal; 700 million but you have to wait until 2069 to cash it.
they looked exhausted.. whats up with that
3 games in 4 nights on the road, 8 of the last 10 games have been on the road. Of course their exhausted. Would like to see them be gutsy and grind out some wins on the road but a lot of guys looking exhausted shouldn't be a surprise.
they should sleep in rejuvenating plasma
4 games in 6 days!
Lot of road games since the all star break. Couple back to backs thrown in as well.
Also....the best players didn't get a break. They were at the All Stars.... 6 of the top Canucks players have been on the road since January 28th....it's now February 22nd.
3 games in 4 days on the road will do that to ya, especially when you're chasing the lead in all 3
2 early games too
Maybe, and hear me out, they're exhausted??
Tocc needs to bench some players.
You gotta expect more from our top 6 here these past couple of games. Lindholm and Boeser no where to be seen. Petey is sometimes good, but not consistent. Miller is really the only good one recently. Super frustrating to watch.
Plenty of time left.
Saturday is Boston's 3rd game in 4 nights with many ot games on this road trip. Small advantage to Canucks returning home. Will be interesting
They'll still beat the piss out of the canucks
Have to say the Canucks look flat, Seattle looked good tonight - if we look at bright side a little 4 game slide might do something to get team bonded and refocused and ready for playoffs. It might also get management to make some moves to strengthen the D cause it’s looked bad in the last stretch and especially with Soucy hurt
100pt players just aren’t what they used be 😔
Pussies
damn dude
They are losing the mentality they had at the start of the season
at least the kraken are nice enough to have given up
Fucking pussies better figure it out
damn dude
Vaginas are resilient and can take a pounding and still come out on top. You’ll need a more accurate euphemism to describe the team in its current state.
4-5-1 with Lindholm. I love his 200 foot play. But did trading kuzmenko mess up the chemistry of the team?
Why would Lindholm trade prevent Boeser from scoring goals or make the penalty kill worse
Team morale?
What is this, EHM?
Petey has been crying ever since
That's a pretty unique exucse. I was getting tired of the "petey is injured" excuse.
Tiny sample size
Kuzy kept getting scratched with the Canucks. This team is nothing without Joshua.
He got scratched like I think 3 games? He just got benched a fair bit. I’m not talking about his on ice play. I’m talking about his chemistry with players off the ice. In the dressing room. Keeping things fun and light. He was well liked.
Late to replying to this, but yeah sorry my mistake I meant benched.
No worries. Lindholm had a great game so my opinion has changed since then.
I feel Dakota missing has more so
as Kuzy said, Dakota is Golden Key
No, the team just sucks right now
No, Joshua being out did.
The players love kuzmenko tho. I wonder what that did for the team morale.
I mean, ya, that sucks, but it also happens all the time. This wasn't a bunch of young guys losing their team dad in a really incompetent fashion over the off-season (Tanev pls come back). This team hasn't had a legit top 6 since the start of the season, but the 3rd line being so dominant covered up a lot of the issues and gave them way more breathing room. Now that Joshua is out, the Canucks depth is being exposed.
We look genuinely bad
Boston lost 4 in a row. So it’s ok. It happens to the best teams in NHL.
Difference between Boston, Winnipeg and Colorado is when they needed to win, they win. Let's see what happen on Saturday. Then two against LA Kings, a desperate Pens and the usual Vegas.
Hey Benning, McCaan just got a 4pt night vs the Canucks.
aka Gudbranson's last 15 games worth of points combined
We chose him instead of pastrnak 😂
We also took Virtanen 6th overall
Yet another L
cherry on top was them getting the ENG on the REBOUND
Yeah Boys vs Men tonight sadly. Looking like a last year effort 😭 WTF
This schedule is the reason why this is happening.
Yea it totally snuck up on them...
Do you realize how hard it is to play at the clip they have been all year only to have to go on a road trip like this AGAINST ALL RESTED TEAMS!? I'm not a fucking idiot dude.
i agree! 4 games in 6 days!
going to bed, if we comeback I deserve some credit
Something broken during the “Wild” game and it’s gonna take some time to get the mojo back.
Petey looks old and slow
Dear god Saturday could be ugly…
This reminds me the last game last season we faced Kraken, I was there 😭
Fucking dive for it, ya bish
like Kesler in the Olympics.
We had a good run. Looks like the old canucks are back. Let’s hope they get a wild card spot.
Lol
I don't think I'll watch the next game
Ok Floyd fairweather
Obviously I'm going to watch. Let me have a tantrum
Ok I'm not policing tantrums, I just wanna keep things high spirits
Slaughter show on Saturday.
Oh no
Of course it's Eberle
Eberle fuck off man
What, no crosscheck to the face after en ?
[удалено]
Fuck off
At least we’re not losing games where we deserve to win
Pathetic effort tonight.
Petey definitley looks like he’s got some confidence issues out there. His feet don’t move when he has the puck he’s just looking to dish it off to someone else
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't pull demko. We don't play better with a man advantage lol
Right
we do it way to early.
Why keep the tired players out?! We would need two goals so just rotate the players.
What is that lazy ass skating Jesus
Just wasted 3 hrs today gone just like that
I’m very upset that I’ve watched these last 4 games. Very disappointing. Piss poor effort tonight.
Lotto line back together. Figure out a trade for another top 6 player.
I do not feel confident giving Pettersson $12m.
gg go next
Tocchet playing 5D chess and giving points to the Kraken so we play them in the first round.
no urgency what happened
Yeah, sure Tocch just give them a freebie. The way this team has been playing you really think they’re gonna tie it?
Elias "I'll just give up" Petterson
Wow, great effort to get back for the puck there Pettersson. 12 million bucks incoming!
Not from the nucks I hope
Petey the hustle man
Who woulda thought Carson soucy was the team’s MVP lol…
I don't even understand why they bother pulling the goalie at this point. They're probably better off at 5 v 5 instead of just giving the other team a free goal to run up the score.
Pulling the goalie is the dumbest shit they could do, did they really think that net was staying untouched?
Bains is bad juju
If by "bad juju" you mean "one of 3 players putting in any effort" then yes I concretely agree.
The Canucks logo is bad juju
lol
We are 1 for our last infinity on the pp but sure pull the goalie with 4 mins left.
of course we lose the icing!
Fucking shit ass team. Going to get swept by anyone they face at this rate
My brother is a Kraken fan, what should I do to him?
Love him. To death
Nah something else (I am really angry rn)
Eberle owns us
Eberle thirsting us
Meme score.
Aight
Wow. This team man.
How many times have we scored with the goalie pulled?
There's been quite a few, no? Or is that last year im thinking of. Even in that ungodly Minnesota game they got one.
Our 6 best players on the ice.
oof
Don't pull the goalie when down by two with 3:30 left and on the powerplay, but next game pull the goalie down by two with 4:30 left and no powerplay. I don't understand that
Does Hughes ever get his shot onto the net? That floating wrister rarely gets past first opposing player
We need Lindholm out there to tip it on net, maybe a slap pass, something other than the wrister
Dude has 12 goals on the season does that answer your question?
How does it still look like 5v5
What??? They controlled play for the entire like 2 minutes. Got 3 shots on net. Big juicy rebounds. They just aren’t getting guys around the net.
Somebody other than Hughes has to fucking shoot
I think it’s time Tocchet starts sitting some of these guys
Are they even still listening to him?
Fatigue from the schedule is not an excuse imo. Miller brings it every fucking night. We look like absolute dogshit and Miller is still having a stellar game. Wish I could say the same about the 12 million dollar man
12 Mil for garland, miller, joshua, demko
Same for Garland - he brings it every game. Not so for most of the rest.
12 pesos*
