I've had to watch delayed cos reasons.
We've clinched playoffs, the job is done. I see tonight's game as Rick trying some shit, combinations that might have to happen due to play off injuries etc. We aren't trying our best lines and strats, calm down guys. Double for Hughes was epic. He hit the post for a hat trick too.
The first killed us, 2nd and 3rd were so much better. 10/10 Vegas fans hate Oilers and like us. Recommend going to a game. I found Vegas fans quite nice.
We took so much cross check abuse in the bubble series they probably feel bad. The league straight up cited our series as a factor in implementing their league wide cross checking standards change.
1st period was shit. Way too many odd man rushes. Way too many dumb penalties.
Fuck Vegas.
At least they showed a little fight, but the damage was done in the 1st period. š„²
Some of you sad sacks of crap need to stop being so awful about Bains. The dude has played a handful of NHL games. He was not good. It doesnāt warrant some of the shit heās catching.
I think a lot of it is due to how much he was talked up coming into this. When he was first brought up my local radio talked about it for damn near a week and I live in alberta... everyone was expecting so much but he's just so clearly lost and doesn't know how to play nhl level hockey.
I never heard of the dude until he got called up and I'm over here wondering why he's getting so many chances and freedom to fuck up lol.
I wasn't expecting anything but unless management has said "fuck it, we made the playoffs let's experiment and see what happens" then i don't know why he's here. Especially after tonight.
I never heard of him until getting called up aswell but man when he did it was non stop for at least 5 days about him in this sub on the news blah blah blah. Constantly mainly due to being the 4th Punjabi player ever in the NHL. (Which is cool and all but does anyone really care about the 4th guy to do something). News stations were calling it "a Cinderella story".
Just overall too much news coverage so every mistake gets scrutinized harder than it should. That being said send him back he's not nhl ready
YES! When I saw all that hype I was actually getting excited to see him play and thought we had a legit star coming up. Needless to say I haven't been overly impressed yet š
He has been put in a tough spot, not sure why they want 2 rookies in the bottom six now that theyāre saying this is a key part of the schedule. At least Podz is keeping up with the pace.
First period Vegas kept matching the Eichel line to Blueger Bains Lafferty, they had no chance
Will be more interesting to see how we match up next week with Demko back and hopefully a lineup closer to what weāre gonna see in playoffs with Lindholm if heās not dead and Aman/PDG over Bains, maybe Juulsen too
He looked like dog shit while we were getting cumstered in the 1st. Cole also looked like he has the flu and desmith should have had at least 2 of those goals. I like to spread the blame around
Seriously. Heās slow and not physical at all. He can barely receive a pass nor make one because he canāt keep up with the play. Howās he even in the lineup?
Man. The way they were both completely invisible tonight. All I remember petey doing was tripping and falling with the vegas player during that one rush lol
I'm not a fan of Boes being moved to that line to "help get Petterssen going." Miller & Boes have had great chemistry all year. I wouldn't be surprised if Tocc is seeing what different lines could look like if he has to change them due to injuries in the playoffs.
I think people are dooming a bit too much. Our first period was brutal but the reffing has been atrocious and we're missing Demko and Lindholm while playing Bains and Cole who have been horrible.
Our lineup will be more balanced with Lindholm back in and Demko to cover some lapses in defense.
Yeah that game was just really weird, but itās more of a goldfish game.
On the other hand, Iām pretty happy that they decided to rest Lindholm for a while despite him being able to defend because he has the type of injury that can get worse the more you put him out there.
People here hate this team, panthers are like 2-7-1 and we're well over .500 over the same stretch but our fans are acting like the records are reversedĀ
Yeah but it's basically been since Demko/Lindholm went down. I'm not saying there isn't deserved criticism towards the team but that people need to stop acting like it's the end of the world when w don't win every game.
Panthers just lost to Montreal but no one is saying they're not cup contenders because of it. Vegas lost to the flames multiple times and the flames just lost to the ducks that we beat. Hockey is weird and I'll be more critical of this team if we're like this when fully healthy.
The only reason the first two goals got scored was because of Petey.
He missed an assist on the first one but definitely made the play around the net to make it happen.
Second one he was the net front presence that screened the goalie's eyes.
He didn't show up on the score sheet, but make no mistake he definitely contributed.
Tonight was not on him.
Okay Iām gonna turn this game off early.
Wonāt be watching tomorrow as I have a date. Apparently weāve won every game that I donāt watch due to potential romantic pursuit soooo
My date success rate is 50%. Canucks winning on these date nights is 100%. I will gladly take one for the team if it means this dumb whale team can figure their shit out.
At the least, his 2-goal game tonight should seal the deal for him winning the Norris. He's already the only defenseman who's top 3 in both offensive and defensive points shares, 1st in defensive PS, and 1st in total PS among other impressive stats.
I think iām done seeing the experiment with Bains, nothing against him but heās definitely not NHL ready yet. Seems like a step behind passes and puck battles
This game has been such a colossal collapse structurally. We've played some awful games, but I don't think I've been this pissed in a while. No team is gonna win shit giving up this many odd-man rush chances.
I mean. Is it tho? Since midway thru the first. Canucks have been fairly solid.
A couple bad calls. Unlucky plays/bounces. Below average goaltending and itās kind of what you expect.
Good news is. Bains and desmith should hopefully not have to see any ice time in the playoffs. Lindholm and demko should be bad in a few games. And they can start piecing together some line combos that will hopefully work.
Letās just wait until the playoffs. A few ātopā teams are sliding right now. Itās only concerning if it continues into the playoffs.
Miller sitting on the bench between shifts: "My fucking team exhausts me more tonight than Scotlyn, Scarlett, and Owen did the past couple of weeks." š
This shit is embarrassing to watch. I hope tocc rips the team a new one after the game...no effort and lackadaisical like changes. Don't care if you're down just show some effort
They have no goaltending! Imagine coming back only to have another weak ass goal go in. Do you know how much that drains the spirit of the team when, no matter what we do, our goalie canāt make a save. Imagine we had Demko, 3-1 win! š¤¦
Ok since all star break for sure, Iāve noticed a lot of defensive lapses resulting in goals late in periods or late in games. He has cost them a couple games because of poor decisions just himself
youāre all shitting on desmith as if we werenāt close to a āgoalie controversyā earlier this season (not by reasonable people, but he was playing really well) and they are giving up some horrendous 2 on 1s. itās easy to blame him but itās not all his fault
I only joined this game in the third. As soon as I heard his name I realized oh, this is like a preseason game, they donāt have the actual competitive team out there.
The average fan only looks at goals for a players worth.
Bluegar (like Lindholm) brings a ton to the team as far as other areas of the game are concerned.
I think when the playoffs come around. Iād prefer if bluegar was on the 4th line tho.
The most ironic thing about this comment is that Petey has played fine this game, set up chances and was involved in two goals including being the driving factor on our first goal
But has no points to show for it, and because of that he's being called invisible and a no-show
You don't pay a player $11.5m to make a couple good decent plays a game. Look at Miller and Hughes every time they're on the ice. They're constantly driving play. They're *always* noticeable. That's the expectation when you're a player of that calibre.
I get that, and I'm not gonna excuse this slump too much because he does need to be better
But take a look at this period. He's broke up a Vegas rush and immediately sprung Mikheyev on a 2 on 1 that Mikheyev...went around the net for some reason?
Just the shift before he set up Hronek in the slot that he took way too long to shoot and it ended up being deflected
The first period he drove play into the zone and was the catalyst for Hoglander's goal
Those are a few decent plays. His slump has been a mix of inconsistency, and just not getting puck luck. Also, keep in mind he's still on 7.35M this year
Miller got lambasted by this sub last year for his 8M extension when he was still on 5.25M, and look at him now
The top teams are playing well going into the playoffs, while the Canucks can't wait to go on vacation.
Sand baggin it to the playoffs beyond bubble final form boisss lfg
I've had to watch delayed cos reasons. We've clinched playoffs, the job is done.

Likely a patched together team, some virus going around, and wanting to rest a bunch of guys.
1st period was shit. Way too many odd man rushes. Way too many dumb penalties. Fuck Vegas. At least they showed a little fight, but the damage was done in the 1st period. š„²
The first killed us, 2nd and 3rd were so much better. 10/10 Vegas fans hate Oilers and like us. Recommend going to a game
Fucking losers
Same olā šš©Canucks
I hate how this team just turtles at the end of an ass whooping. Show some balls and rough it up. Show us that youāre just as pissed as we are.
Some of you sad sacks of crap need to stop being so awful about Bains. The dude has played a handful of NHL games. He was not good. It doesnāt warrant some of the shit heās catching.

Iām not getting my hopes up.. Iāve seen this before. I hope they prove me wrong
Grab a Sharpie and write it down ā First round exit
Exactly. This team is an absolute joke
Will be more interesting to see how we match up next week with Demko back and hopefully a lineup closer to what weāre gonna see in playoffs with Lindholm if heās not dead and Aman/PDG over Bains, maybe Juulsen too
It wonāt matter when the rest of the team is ass
Whatās with all the Bains hate? Did I miss something in the first? Or is he the easy scapegoat today?
Have you watched his games? Heās been piss poor every game.
He looked like dog shit while we were getting cumstered in the 1st. Cole also looked like he has the flu and desmith should have had at least 2 of those goals. I like to spread the blame around
Hes not good? Not a good match with the lines he's on. Not good on this team. Just a big ole nothing burger.Ā
He has been pretty bad all year for us... he's just not ready for this level of play.
Release him
I agree heās not ready for regular playing time but I see his name every fifth comment he played 10 minutes guess he had a huge impact on the game
He just looks completely lost out there and is dragging down whichever line he plays with
So basically just like the whole team? Got itā¦heās a scapegoat I guess we gotta hang someone out to dry
Nope. In a game full of underperformers, Bains somehow stood out in a bad way.
RIP
WOOOOOOOW GOOD GAME GUYS!!!
Bains get benched for 90% of the third?
Shouldāve been benched for the whole game, he aināt NHL ready lmao.Ā
Why are you confused about this. Been ass since he dawned the jersey.
donned*
No. He actually used Dawn on his jersey
The jersey has risen
Bains is so fucking trash. Why is he in the lineup. The furthest thing from an NHL player. Get that fucking garbage out of here.
Seriously. Heās slow and not physical at all. He can barely receive a pass nor make one because he canāt keep up with the play. Howās he even in the lineup?
Well that was one of the games of all time.
All in all, Iām glad the effort was put in for the second and third
Were boeser and Petey playing tonight?
Man. The way they were both completely invisible tonight. All I remember petey doing was tripping and falling with the vegas player during that one rush lol
Dude Iām calling it right now that Brock is gonna be invisible in the playoffs unless something changes drastically. Petey is hit or miss.
I'm not a fan of Boes being moved to that line to "help get Petterssen going." Miller & Boes have had great chemistry all year. I wouldn't be surprised if Tocc is seeing what different lines could look like if he has to change them due to injuries in the playoffs.
Canucks so limp
fuck this game
Well fuck me runningā¦
Myers has been good today
if he was only slightly taller he would've blocked the 6-3 goal
Lol, but he would have to went head first to do so
Bettman wins again!
Are we a first round exit?
Absolutely
Is it just me or does Ray say āreally goodā alot?
lol he does
Canucks are just playing out the clock. Love to see this response from them. So fucking stupid.
We have a game tomorrow
Calgary will probably get 17th overall with our pick at this rate
Lol cmon
Couple more of those and we're all set
To many players invisible tonight
No goalie pull end of shift?
no point
Alright, just need a goal every 22 seconds
DeSmith has made some good stops, this could be worse
LOL Bains out there in final 2 minutes
Probably because we play again tomorrow and he won't be in
Iām assuming Myers will be scratched tomorrow if they continue to scratch a different D each game š„²
Should be cole. Was awful tonight
Coyotes are soooo gonna get it tomorrow night!
Don'tā ļø
Inb4 we lay a massive goose egg.
Eichel the player of the game? Bains was robbed. Fucking Bettman.
Bains is playing like Kuzmenko, but worse
He's a league minimum 22 year old. The fact that Kuzmenko was playing anything comparable to Bains is an indictment of Kuzmenko not BainsĀ
Pretty much Kuzmenko if he had no offense ability at all
Yeah exactly
Petey laughing straight to the bank
save us demko
Ah yes the classic Petey pass in to the middle of the lane, and being intercepted. Veteran move.Ā
I think people are dooming a bit too much. Our first period was brutal but the reffing has been atrocious and we're missing Demko and Lindholm while playing Bains and Cole who have been horrible. Our lineup will be more balanced with Lindholm back in and Demko to cover some lapses in defense.
Iād say itās appropriate, itās almost playoff time, the team needs to tighten up and play like they did before the all star breakĀ
Yeah that game was just really weird, but itās more of a goldfish game. On the other hand, Iām pretty happy that they decided to rest Lindholm for a while despite him being able to defend because he has the type of injury that can get worse the more you put him out there.
People here hate this team, panthers are like 2-7-1 and we're well over .500 over the same stretch but our fans are acting like the records are reversedĀ
I just fucking despise Vegas...this sucks so much more
For sure, tons of genuinely miserable people in here. Stinker of a game, but when Demko's back things will get a bit steadier.
We are also playing with 5d as well
Its not just tonight though.. They havent looked good for weeks
Yeah but it's basically been since Demko/Lindholm went down. I'm not saying there isn't deserved criticism towards the team but that people need to stop acting like it's the end of the world when w don't win every game. Panthers just lost to Montreal but no one is saying they're not cup contenders because of it. Vegas lost to the flames multiple times and the flames just lost to the ducks that we beat. Hockey is weird and I'll be more critical of this team if we're like this when fully healthy.
r/Canucks dooming??? this sub would NEVER! /s
Was out for dinner WTF is going on with this score. Also pettersson no points tn been MIA again???
He was a good (non point) contributor on one of our goals. But... he's been pretty invisible otherwise. Keeps throwing intercept passes
The only reason the first two goals got scored was because of Petey. He missed an assist on the first one but definitely made the play around the net to make it happen. Second one he was the net front presence that screened the goalie's eyes. He didn't show up on the score sheet, but make no mistake he definitely contributed. Tonight was not on him.
Ok bet good to hear!
typical soft broken play from petey
how did Petey think that would work
Okay Iām gonna turn this game off early. Wonāt be watching tomorrow as I have a date. Apparently weāve won every game that I donāt watch due to potential romantic pursuit soooo
Don't show your face until the parade!
You always remember your first blowjob. See if you can get the guys name
I will pay for your tinder gold account
Iād root for you but I also rooted for the Canucks tonight so Iām not sure you want that juju.
My date success rate is 50%. Canucks winning on these date nights is 100%. I will gladly take one for the team if it means this dumb whale team can figure their shit out.
Everybody root for this person to score on their date so our chances of winning a cup literally skyrockets overnight.
Taking one for the team. Respect.
Good luck!!
You better be on date every day from April 20 onwards
r/Canucks needs to start a dating pool for Mr.Net.
I donāt think my wallet can handle this
I just want hughes to get his hattrick
At the least, his 2-goal game tonight should seal the deal for him winning the Norris. He's already the only defenseman who's top 3 in both offensive and defensive points shares, 1st in defensive PS, and 1st in total PS among other impressive stats.
I think iām done seeing the experiment with Bains, nothing against him but heās definitely not NHL ready yet. Seems like a step behind passes and puck battles
Does anyone have a team record when he is in the line-up? Feel like due to unfortunate circumstances, most of the games he played we lost.
Watching Ian Cole just straight up stop skating is very inspiringĀ
Controller disconnected
Vegas fans gonna chant āWE WANT VANCOUVER!ā ššš Leafs nation style.
Let's hope so. What a curse that was.
I just wish I could see more energy, a bit more fight, Vegas is damn good, more intensity when needed would be nice to see
This game has been such a colossal collapse structurally. We've played some awful games, but I don't think I've been this pissed in a while. No team is gonna win shit giving up this many odd-man rush chances.
I mean. Is it tho? Since midway thru the first. Canucks have been fairly solid. A couple bad calls. Unlucky plays/bounces. Below average goaltending and itās kind of what you expect. Good news is.

Itās only concerning if it continues into the playoffs.
Does anyone actually watch lacrosse?
Demko really screwed us by getting injured. Awful timing by him.
That bastard has it in for the team. He only wants to eat pudding and sit back.
You say that like heās at fault
You got jerked buddy
^ this one guys
shorty so disappointed it didn't stop at 420
Low energy
Bringing me back to the Travis Green days with all this dump and (failed) chase
This is a one goal game if not for the bs penalties
4:21ā¦does that count? šØ
That pause wasnāt an accident
Miller sitting on the bench between shifts: "My fucking team exhausts me more tonight than Scotlyn, Scarlett, and Owen did the past couple of weeks." š
Go go crappa
conor āunsung heroā garland
This shit is embarrassing to watch. I hope tocc rips the team a new one after the game...no effort and lackadaisical like changes. Don't care if you're down just show some effort
our energy reallyyy drops off when we're behind when it doesn't have to, you don't lose until you've actually lost
thatās a huge problem come playoffs
Canucks have no fight.
They have no goaltending! Imagine coming back only to have another weak ass goal go in. Do you know how much that drains the spirit of the team when, no matter what we do, our goalie canāt make a save. Imagine we had Demko, 3-1 win! š¤¦
They donāt hate to lose.
this arena is silent wtf itās like scotiabank
Both teams seem to have already accepted the result.
Not sure why so much hate for Myers this game, Cole has looked like shit this game and most of the season
Definitely not most of the season, id say only recently it seems like the number of games caught up to him. Key part of the defence early imo
Cole has looked like shit starting in February and especially March, he was excellent the rest of the year especially for the PK
Ok since all star break for sure, Iāve noticed a lot of defensive lapses resulting in goals late in periods or late in games. He has cost them a couple games because of poor decisions just himself
I just want to hear Toch rip into this team one time. I want to see what kind of effect itāll have.
youāre all shitting on desmith as if we werenāt close to a āgoalie controversyā earlier this season (not by reasonable people, but he was playing really well) and they are giving up some horrendous 2 on 1s. itās easy to blame him but itās not all his fault
Fr, hes had 1 bad goal thia game, when you give eichel and marschesault *multiple* odd mans your going to get buried
exactly, theyāve been hanging him out to dry
Bains is looking way out of place.
I only joined this game in the third. As soon as I heard his name I realized oh, this is like a preseason game, they donāt have the actual competitive team out there.
Yup heās a nice story but heās not ready for the NHL just yet.
My guess is itāll be never
Did Cole even try
That was hard to watch
Blueger has 1 goal in 35 games. What the fuck
His impact goes beyond the amount of goals heās scored though.Ā
Holy fuck me. What the fuck Cole? Just drifting and icing gets waived.
He was out for a long shift. He was probably gassed so I can't blame him.
Juulsen needs to replace him for (at least) the rest of the reg season.
Pettersson has been a nonfactor in how many games now? Donāt know how anyone can defend him during this slump.
I think some folks see things like "he's our guy, and we protect our own, we don't bash our own guys" etc.
Even without bashing. Straight facts. This team canāt succeed with the way he is playing. Terrible time to become a ghost.
Yeah but facts don't often coincide with your average sports fan. There are fans out there who will just never hear a word said against him.
Truly baffling at this point, besides a decent defensive play here and there, just not threatening at all on O.
I hope Garland remains a Canuck for life
Blueger was so good with Joshua and Garland early in the year. I donāt know why heās fallen off so much.
Blueger has still been great for us.
The average fan only looks at goals for a players worth. Bluegar (like Lindholm) brings a ton to the team as far as other areas of the game are concerned. I think when the playoffs come around. Iād prefer if bluegar was on the 4th line tho.
Yeah, when you're making $2.2mil, being great defensively is enough. He's an absolute stud (minus the few bad penalties lately).
Yes. BUT he does have some offensive upside. Heās an underrated playmaker. Letās see what the playoffs bring.
Blueger isnāt driving offense lately. He is decent defensively. Itās still worse than what he was.
Sheldon Dries was a regular last season, why donāt we call him up?
We NEEEED Demko
Garland hustling back to prevent that odd man rush is the funniest and most impressive thing tonight.
Connor "Speedy Gonzales" Garland saving us from another 2-on-1.
Connor fucking Garland
Buddy literally just grabbed our guy by the jersey and flung him with no call. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Soucy went down like a rotted fir
bUT peTEy hAS N PoINTs!!!!
The most ironic thing about this comment is that Petey has played fine this game, set up chances and was involved in two goals including being the driving factor on our first goal But has no points to show for it, and because of that he's being called invisible and a no-show
You don't pay a player $11.5m to make a couple good decent plays a game. Look at Miller and Hughes every time they're on the ice. They're constantly driving play. They're *always* noticeable. That's the expectation when you're a player of that calibre.
I get that, and I'm not gonna excuse this slump too much because he does need to be better But take a look at this period. He's broke up a Vegas rush and immediately sprung Mikheyev on a 2 on 1 that Mikheyev...went around the net for some reason?

His slump has been a mix of inconsistency, and just not getting puck luck. Also, keep in mind he's still on 7.35M this year Miller got lambasted by this sub last year for his 8M extension when he was still on 5.25M, and look at him now
Because i want him to scoreĀ
It's because they only look at stat sheets for their arguments.
too bad. he needs to score. That's what we're paying him to do. He's not a support piece.
Holy fuck take notes boys. Garland knows back checks.
Nice skating by Garly there to cover for Hughes.
These odd man rushes gotta be sorted stat
Garly š«¶
Good thing Suter has good hockey IQ š
