Remember when Joshua, and Garland got in each other faces and had a scrap. Now they are good linemates and one of the reason Canucks did so well last season. The fact that Petey played in Sweden then came over to the NHL probably play a huge factor. I think if Petey grew up playing North American hockey it might be different?

Team has been falling apart for months, no longer a surprise. I saw that Hughes is a game time decision. There's also some curiousity about D Petey getting a look since our D corps is AHL level anyways lol. I last saw that Hronek is skating but weeks away from returning to action.
This upcoming string of games is against top 10 teams in the league. Could very well break us.

Yah the next 10 could be he end of our playoff hopes unless they really band together.
I think Dak got hurt when Blueger pushed a guy into his knee in NSH, didn't play the 2nd and came back for the 3rd.

Sigh, just proves the point that progress isn't linear in the NHL. You would have thought we could have picked up where we were last year but the defense choices and other shit have really tanked our chances. We'll be lucky to be a wild card at this rate and even then, likely a 1st round exit. Knowing how impatient JR is, if there was a good move to make he would have made it already. Anything between now and trade deadline will likely have a knee jerk reaction and then poof, goodbye playoff hopes.

We miss the veteran presence from Schenn/Cole, and another loud mouth from Zadorov. Definitely changed the room dynamics. They need a locker room guy that everyone respects. JT can't be the one to run the room.
Anyway.... another game on Prime, damnit

Man the only reason the game is tied is cause of Lanki
Defense keeps giving them dangerous scoring chances

Are we surprised by the Canucks downfall? I remembered some ppl on here already called it. That the Canucks would regress this season. Haha.

On pace for the most OT losses in history. Sucked to see that goal go off Quinn after how well he’s played this year, probably feels like a “what the hell else can go wrong” moment for him.

The defense is so bad. What was the management thinking this off season. Why was Hogs on the ice for the last minute, stupid penalty on his part

We signed something like 3 third pairing or replacement guys, trying to fill in the 4th, 5th, and 6th spot?
It wasn't going to end well and I read a lot of commentators being rather cautious about it.

It's Allvin's fault for failing to find a top 4 defenceman for our Canucks.
You have Hughes and Hronek as your top pair of d-men. Then the depth chart on defence drops considerably after those two players.

I like what they said on the radio last night about management thought too much of themselves in letting guys go last season thinking they had the magic touch to fill those vacancies with just any other plumber that would fit right in which obviously has not been the case.
Now you’re just sitting here debating whether it’s worth leveraging the future for another layoff push. Gonna be some tough choices to be made if they are below the playoff bar come the deadline

Speaking of big decisions, Allvin has a decision looming before July 1st.
Boeser is an unrestricted free agent soon. Contract year for him.
He and his agent are going to ask for a big money contract.

TBF to them, Zadorov and Lindholm isn't doing particularly hot, and definitely isn't worth the contract that they demanded.

Yea I agree and it was definitely the right move not to pay them like they got, but thinking someone like Desjharnais would just fill in for those spots was pretty wishful thinking in hindsight

Desharnais has been the least of our problems lately, he's been... dare I say... pretty good the last 2 weeks.
Forbort and Juulsen are trainwreckes though... and Soucy has been exactly the opposite of what he was last year -- consistent.
They should have kept Cole... he did look bad against speedy EDM in the playoffs but for regular season he most certainly would look a lot better in there on the PK and 5v5 than Juulsen does.

Yea I agree with that, he’s stepped up but much like Meyers, he will be a disaster if he’s forced to play up the lineup

Good decision from Allvin haha. Hang up the phone:
According to Josh Yohe, a writer for The Athletic who generally covers the Pittsburgh Penguins, says that earlier this season the New York Rangers offered up struggling forward Mika Zibanejad as part of a trade for J.T Miller - an offer which the Canucks promptly rejected.
