*sigh*... Another home loss. Is it just me, or are the people who usually go off about "bandwagoners jumping off" after a loss like this do that themselves?  I havent heard any in a while, thankgod.

I don't think Malkin or Ovechkin can save the Cauncks. So Vinny himself won't be able to do it.

The Pens are stacked with talent and they've gone on crazy skid of late so stacking a team with good players doesn't always equal success.
Edit:
I seriously hope the fans at GM place boo the Canucks off the ice during the last 2 minutes of the game.

I'm so convinced the Canucks have enough of the tools they need to succeed. As displayed, they can skate with speed and have beaten DET twice. They can play with a physical edge like they showed in Nashville and countless other times.
I just can't figure out why they're playing they way they are right now. For reasons unknown, the dynamics of the team has changed so drastically that one can hardly to recognize them anymore.

Bieksa
Pyatt
Ohlund
Edler just to name a few.
Hell, look at the fucking game tonight and how well they're doing?
Long and short of it, know-nothing hockey fans only have the ability to valuate a player depending on his last game, instead of his value in its entirety. Just a week ago everyone was sucking LaBarbera's dick and ready to throw Sanford under a bus for his misplays. Now look where everyone stands on LaBarbera & Sanford now?
Wellwood doesn't need a wake up. The whole fucking team does. It's not like the Sisters are an offensive forechecking force or defensively responsible on their own end themselves. But why no hate? Oh yeah, because there's no media sensationalism |
Totally agree. When a team is playing poorly, the worst thing to do is to single out a player. He gets frustrated, then goes" What about him? He fucked up too!" Then everybody gets into disagreement and the team starts to disperse. End of season. Win as a team, lose as a team. Simple as that. If AV doesn't turn this team around by the All Star Break, he could be looking for a new job.

The Canucks' consistency as a whole team is no where to be found. That's usually how they are. They go on streaks and they go on slumps. And yes, so far, Sundin doesn't look so good right now. I keep hearing "when he gets his legs, he's gonna be a monster"
Well... I'm still waiting.

I think losing Lu has messed up team chemistry and the overall confidence. Sure Lu’s back in tonight and we shouldn't be down by 4 goals but since he has been gone it's been a rollercoaster ride and the Canucks seem to have no confidence whatsoever. Maybe it’s time for a road trip so they can get away from home. The other rumor floating around is AV has lost the team but who knows if that's true.

losing 4-0 comming into the 3rd period with LUONGO between the pipes? Sudin, Demo and the Twins out front?

I think these teams just know how to play us now... play all out the first period to get the first goal or so and they know we have hard time coming back when behind.

Losing Luongo hurt us, but we still shouldnt have given up points to the likes of St. Louis, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas etc.

Give the Coyotes for the shot blocking all game. The Canucks need to simplify their game. Win shift by shift, period by period, then the wins will start to come around again. You can see every single player, they're indecisive, panicky, over thinking every single moment, gripping the sticks too hard, and not to mention, they're all treating the puck like its a live bomb. On a side note, Daniel sure did sneak up on 22 goals quietly. Seems like it wasn't too long ago he was being blasted for not scoring

AV honestly must be retarded. Kyle Wellwood is sittin in the box tonight. Kyle Wellwood! He is second on the team in goals, but for some reason receives fourth line duty, and tonight doesn't even get to dress. I am sick of his "line-juggling." It's like if something doesnt work for a couple of games he's gotta change it up. He's looking for chemistry, but too stupid to realize that it takes more than a couple of games to build chemistry. I have given AV enough chances. I have stuck through it up until now. But now I am just sick of it. To top it all off, the stuff that he pulled on Linden last year was flat out disrespectful, just to fulfill his own ego. He is horrible. Fire him now while Pat Quinn is still available!

I would love to see Quinn behind the bench but I highly doubt Gillis will fire AV.
