What the heck is this commercial lmao

they knew exactly what theyre doing

 

[mossey3535]

I think Tocchet tells them, they just don't do it consistently. It's not a new concept. They are just inconsistent in executing it.

People have lauded the big dmen for the Canucks, but they are slow in decision making when trying to break the puck out. It starts with them. Then the forwards fail to support properly.

Agree to disagree. Not sure what you are looking at, I don't see any signs of what you're describing.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This completely sucks. But that's the benefit of being up 3-2 in the series. We allowed ourselves a freeby. Now let's get em.

It's not just the loss, but the way they're losing is extremely concerning. McDavid woke up, Hyman broke a slump, Canucks got absolutely nothing done on the powerplay, Silovs looked human, Skinner has been barely tested but steady, and now you're going home with all of the pressure to close out.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Just a pathetic showing.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I love Hughes but the Hughes > Makar crowd are legit morons. That’s where I’ll leave it.

Agreed. Maybe Hughes has more to show as he ages but the difference between him and Makar in the playoffs is night and day.

 

[AzNightmare]

Giving me some 2011 Boston PTSD...
Canucks can only. Barely squeak in 1 goal wins. But other team can completely dominate us.

I know that's not how this series went. But dropping the last 2 game by blowouts seem very plausible.

 

[Jay26]

It's weird. For such a plucky and resilient team they sure play for most stretches like they're not sure if they deserve to be there. They have the talent to command the puck yet they can't get anything going. Starts with Hughes.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

We're getting shitted on and your thinking about dallas

It’s the 1 line Oilers lol a really flawed team with shaky goaltending, the Canucks just decided to take the night off for some reason, disappointed in the Canucks

 

[mossey3535]

If anything, it's a hail Mary just to change something to spark life back into this team...

I'm not sure if Silovs can be rock solid again for next game. Seems like Edmonton has full confidence they can pick him a part now. Put Demko in and maybe Edmonton might have newfound doubt.

Almost every goal tonight was a pretty weak goal. It's no shame after how well he's played that he's either mentally or physically fatigued. Or both.

 

[EpochLink]

Time to call them out again post game.
Not good enough.

No f***ing urgency at all, in a clinching game.
Well that have one more game to f***ing prove it.

 

[Donuts]

so close ep.

good shift by ikea line

 

[M2Beezy]

Hilariously this is Coles best game this series so far lol

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

So many f***ing rebounds and they can't convert.

 

[Nomobo]

Be nice if we could hit the net once in a while.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This team can and will bounce back. They've proven it all season.

 

[EpochLink]

Tocchet gonna go for the jugular in the post game, he must be pissed.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Bouchard 3 points and a +4. f***ing guy has just killed us.

 

[TruGr1t]

This team can and will bounce back. They've proven it all season.

They better, this is garbage.

 

[PG Canuck]

Agreed. Maybe Hughes has more to show as he ages but the difference between him and Makar in the playoffs is night and day.

Just looked at their playoff stats. Wow. Actually staggering how much of a gap there is.

 

[EpochLink]

Bouchard 3 points and a +4. f***ing guy has just killed us.

Hughes needs a better performance

 

[arttk]

Yeah I think the games are taking a toll on Silovs

 

[LordBacon]

rip

 

[TruGr1t]

Silovs is over.

 

[Jovofan]

Hopefully getting embarrassed like this is going to mean the team comes out pissed off and ready to make a statement on Monday.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Well. One team was going to get blown out eventually. Guess it was us
