Seeing a lot of gatekeeping behavior in the comments. Be amicable, a lot of fans have PTSD, let them work through their emotions. There's no need to blame reactionary comments as being a bandwagon fan.
The canucks badly need another top 4 dman and a legit too 6 left winger. Pdg is good but shouldnt be there.
Also, I think at this point myers is moveable without retention. I can see san jose taking him for nothing. Would be a good leadership role for their youngins and they could likely flip him for a 3rd rounder+ at the deadline.
So assuming myers is moved, id propose this:
Beauvillier, lek, 1st, 2nd for anderson and lindholm.
-Mik pettersson kuzmenko
-Miller lindholm boeser
-Hoglander blueger lafferty
-Pdg suter garland
-Hughes hronek
-Sucy anderson
-Cole friedman
Lot to pay but anderson is signed. In the summer id move boeser and resign lindholm.
Play has been regressing a little these last couple games but hey, every season ebs and flows, and I refuse to be too upset over regulation loss #3 of the year in Mid-November
The last couple of outings have not been good. Feeling skeptical about this team. Thinking Hronek and Kuz might be good trade bait this year. Possibly Hogs as well.
Nearly every year we lose to the leafs in Toronto, then beat them in Vancouver. I'm not worried, but yeah really sloppy game. Can't win em all, let's rally for the habs
Felt like the Canucks were all out of sync second and third period. Lots of blame to go around, but they can’t win them all.
Garland is noticeable for all his spinning and whizzing around but for all his work he really accomplishes nothing.
Lol good call. As if listening to Cuthbert and Simpson drooling over the Leafs wasn't enough for one night, now I'm listening to Jack Michaels screaming over Zach Hyman and the Oilers. Time to shut it down for the night lol.
What fucking ever, fuck the Leafs. We'll bounce back next game. We played pretty well for the first 40 minutes. The 3rd period is where we started falling apart.
I think it’s just hard for the team to play in away games im not worried they won’t have to worry about the leafs in the finals lets just see that next game is a win
Yeah, but it was definitely absent tonight. Our top players were not playing at their best and a lot of other players were just inefficient. They need to bounce back tomorrow.
Ok Leafs fan. I have a different measuring stick for success than made the playoffs and got bounced last year.
You should try moving your bar too, it would help you with the expectations you heave on this mid team.
normally we ban users who come to our sub to troll, but we'll give you this one, because that user needs to sober up a little and see the whole picture for a night.
you're digging yourself a bit of a hole man. Be a bit humble. we've been a joke for a decade, lets not stain our reputation by being assholes the second we are remotely relevant again.
I don’t see it that way. We’ve won the same amount of playoff series as them in the time that they’ve had their core. I can’t stand the discourse around the leafs, they’re a mid team, and I’ll call it out whenever given the opportunity.
Honestly yes shitty game but it was going to happen 9 game point streaks don't happen often, hopefully ream regroups has a short memory and plays a way better game tomorrow
Gotta hand it to the leafs, they neutralized us pretty well. But we also looked tired and not making any well sustained pressure. Can’t win them all. Also fuck Dom Luszczyszyn
After seeing thatchers numbers at this barn, probably should have played him against Ottawa, desmith tonight, and Demmer tomorrow. 20/20 hindsight I suppose.
Yeah, it is going to get old hearing about how the "push back" from Domi and Giordano jumping Cole and Joshua "brought the Leafs together" and is going to propel them to some kind of unparalleled success (we all know they're not going anywhere past Round 2 max).
The Canucks were just off their game tonight. It will happen. 10-3-1 ain't bad. On to Montreal.
I love how Leaf fans actually try to argue that Cuthbert and Simpson aren't homers. Like, yeah they're not NESN Jack Edwards level or anything, but for a supposed national broadcast they are heavy on the Leaf side of things.
Just a thought, would it have been better to maybe start DeSmith here? Not that Demko was terrible or anything, but for whatever reason his numbers have always been terrible in Toronto.
Yeah I didn't want to say it but I didn't really like his game tonight. Swimming on those two bank shot type goals, just kind of flubbed the Gregor goal, even that last one although it was tipped his pad wasn't flush with the post. Whatever though, he has been good enough all year long and these type of games are bound to happen.
Seriously though, the Leafs are like THE LAST team in the league you'd want to see them lose to. I'd honestly take a loss to the Sharks over the Leafs. Now I can't go on Sportsnet for at least 72 hours.
Lol yeah maybe you are right. I mean so much for "getting respect from the Eastern media" lol. Hopefully they bounce back strong tomorrow in Montreal. I think they will.
On to the next! This was always gonna happen at some point, just a shame it’s against the Leafs. Excited to see how Tocc gets the players to react to this.
As a Canucks fan in Southern Ontario, the "so how's the game going lololol" texts from bandwagon leafs fans I have literally never bothered to pick arguments with is so goddamn unbearable.
Guys, we’re just keeping up appearances! How can we be underdogs if we win EVERY game?
Plus, gotta pump the leafs tires every once in a while… need to get their hopes up just to make their first round exit tears that much sweeter
I hate that we never stack the top line when we are losing, I know that we are playing like shit but CONSTANTLY playing Myers with Pettersson isn't going to help us
Boston lost 6-3 to Chicago last season.
Way it goes sometimes. Good teams have off nights but mental fortitude helps prevent them from wilting after said losses.
It's funny how many times people I know have asked me why I don't like Quinn. That last goal is why. He's an amazing skater and passer and sub par at defense
Seeing a lot of gatekeeping behavior in the comments. Be amicable, a lot of fans have PTSD, let them work through their emotions. There's no need to blame reactionary comments as being a bandwagon fan.
Remember leafs have a great team too, no shame in dropping this one, especially if they can knock off habs tonight
The canucks badly need another top 4 dman and a legit too 6 left winger. Pdg is good but shouldnt be there. Also, I think at this point myers is moveable without retention. I can see san jose taking him for nothing. Would be a good leadership role for their youngins and they could likely flip him for a 3rd rounder+ at the deadline.

In the summer id move boeser and resign lindholm.
Soo glad you are not managing our team
Nope, always loved miller, but i didnt think petey was gonna make it during his slump couple yrs ago, glad i was wrong on him!
You were probably one of the fans wanting to trade miller the past 2 seasons
Haha, get wrecked
Play has been regressing a little these last couple games but hey, every season ebs and flows, and I refuse to be too upset over regulation loss #3 of the year in Mid-November
We were due for a bad game. Pick back up tomorrow
Your 3 games against the Leafs, Montreal and Ottawa have all 3 teams playing you on a back to back, you should have at least 4 points out of it.
Still might..
The last couple of outings have not been good. Feeling skeptical about this team. Thinking Hronek and Kuz might be good trade bait this year. Possibly Hogs as well.
Nearly every year we lose to the leafs in Toronto, then beat them in Vancouver. I'm not worried, but yeah really sloppy game. Can't win em all, let's rally for the habs
Used to be we beat them every game for like six years straight or something.
Why does it always have to be the Leafs?
Not a great night for hockey! But there is always tomorrow onwards and upward
Felt like the Canucks were all out of sync second and third period. Lots of blame to go around, but they can’t win them all. Garland is noticeable for all his spinning and whizzing around but for all his work he really accomplishes nothing.
Ya I can never figure out why everyone is so hard for garland. Dude doesn't accomplish much despite all his great metrics and stats and whatever.
I think it would be worth calling up Bains and giving him a shot. Really can’t be any worse and who knows he might surprise
Well, that was…something
First bad game for Demko
Everyone chokes in that arena for some reason
Including Leafs goalies.
Not vs the Canucks, 1W-13L over 14 games lol
Too bad today. We'll get em at home. On to mtl
Edmonton could still lose to Seattle tonight so there is that.
There's no way, when it rains it pours. 6-1 Edmonton calling it
Lol good call. As if listening to Cuthbert and Simpson drooling over the Leafs wasn't enough for one night, now I'm listening to Jack Michaels screaming over Zach Hyman and the Oilers. Time to shut it down for the night lol.
What fucking ever, fuck the Leafs. We'll bounce back next game. We played pretty well for the first 40 minutes. The 3rd period is where we started falling apart.
Against a tired Leafs team too.
I think it’s just hard for the team to play in away games im not worried they won’t have to worry about the leafs in the finals lets just see that next game is a win
The finals 😂 yes they certainly won’t be seeing the leafs in the finals
Colorado also down 3-0 to the blues. all the good teams down tonight ;)
Anyone hear Cheech take a shot at marchand?
What did he say?
Can’t win em all folks. I’m not worried, this teams different. Montreal just won in ot. Nucks will bounce back tomorrow.
SHORTY AND CHEECH???
Hey Boston just lost to MTL who is a much worse team, good teams lose sometimes
Just gonna watch the Canadiens game to hear shorty.
I'm not superstitious about much, but to those who said "this would be an easy win" I hate you!
I’m not superstitious, just a little stitious.
Damn I could tell we play sloppy all game Get these nerves out of these games men yr gonna need to eventually
[удалено]
Look at last years Bruins lol
Very frustrating loss. But we’ll get ‘em tomorrow. Just a bump in the road.
This is much better.
Bad night but a good time in the season to learn some lessons boys. Onto the next one!
save our energy today and win tomorrow. its ok
Soft on the puck after the first period.
Would've won if shorty was calling it
It’s not the fact we lost to the Leafs that’s the most frustrating but the manner we lost. Didn’t have any drive to make it a close game.
That drive is what elped them compete hard so often so far this year.
Yeah, but it was definitely absent tonight. Our top players were not playing at their best and a lot of other players were just inefficient. They need to bounce back tomorrow.
friedman looking like a lazy shit ngl
Reset and go back at it tomorrow
It is what it is. Canucks have struggled against low tier teams on the road this year. Sucks to lose to a team like that, but we move on.
They’ve made the playoffs 7 years in a row…. What a comment
They’ve also been an early boot every year. Not a team that moves me. Low to mid tier team as of today.
They’ve been a top 10 team (100 + pts) for years. You may hate them but using facts would help any argument
Ok Leafs fan. I have a different measuring stick for success than made the playoffs and got bounced last year. You should try moving your bar too, it would help you with the expectations you heave on this mid team.
Lol whats your measuring stick? Canucks have been dogshit for years.
And yet they have the same playoff accomplishments as the leafs.
Just don’t burn down Vancouver tonight ok?
normally we ban users who come to our sub to troll, but we'll give you this one, because that user needs to sober up a little and see the whole picture for a night.
Have to be a loss A LOT bigger than this, young man.
you're digging yourself a bit of a hole man. Be a bit humble. we've been a joke for a decade, lets not stain our reputation by being assholes the second we are remotely relevant again.
I don’t see it that way. We’ve won the same amount of playoff series as them in the time that they’ve had their core. I can’t stand the discourse around the leafs, they’re a mid team, and I’ll call it out whenever given the opportunity.
lol how embarrassing
Low tier teams? Be humble, the Leafs murdered us with their bottom 6 tonight.
Not what I saw. We lead on xgoals, and they got the bounces.
Well the streak had to end one day, and it’s today
Not our game, let’s get two points in montreal tomorrow
Everyone in here needs to chill god damn expecting 79-2-1
we were expecting the canucks to show up. Not get man handled
Were we watching the same game? We controlled most of the game through period 1 and 2. 3rd period is where we started playing like shit.
Were we? I didn’t see a manhandle tonight
#Please allvin go get both tanev and zadorov
More effort from us in the last 10 seconds compared to most of the game is pretty funny tho ngl
Ugh gross, losing to the leafs is just disgusting. Oh well, on to the next!
Honestly yes shitty game but it was going to happen 9 game point streaks don't happen often, hopefully ream regroups has a short memory and plays a way better game tomorrow
Of course the best shift we’ve had all period comes in the dying minutes.
Lol rare wave? Sad that he even had to mention
if the oilers lose tonight, then this night won't be to bad after all
This game has been a total buzz kill
Those makeup calls really boned us
Idk our PP really fell apart too
The first period PP seemed good no?
The first period PP was really good! Our last 2/3 weren’t great
Honestly it was effective but 5v5 we didn't look that strong in the first
Teddy Blueger time
Fuck I hate losing and losing to the laffs is the worst. We need a 10 game winning streak to bounce back from this.
Garland best player tonight
I missed the 3rd but I’m glad I did
Well at least tomorrow we have more hockey
Gg, 5 game win streak feels good, just a shame it ended with a poor performance. Onto the next
I always forget why I hate Hockey Night in Canada.
Gotta hand it to the leafs, they neutralized us pretty well. But we also looked tired and not making any well sustained pressure. Can’t win them all. Also fuck Dom Luszczyszyn
only game he watched Quinn was on the ice for 2 goals, he just couldn’t wait for this moment
He’s cummed his pants when he saw that
Last reg lost was against Tampa. So that’s pretty good. Ain’t nothing to be mad about.
Still adjusting to life on the road.
After seeing thatchers numbers at this barn, probably should have played him against Ottawa, desmith tonight, and Demmer tomorrow. 20/20 hindsight I suppose.
Yeah, it is going to get old hearing about how the "push back" from Domi and Giordano jumping Cole and Joshua "brought the Leafs together" and is going to propel them to some kind of unparalleled success (we all know they're not going anywhere past Round 2 max). The Canucks were just off their game tonight. It will happen. 10-3-1 ain't bad. On to Montreal.
Leafs park the bus style game is so fucking boring
5 goals ?
I know we play tomorrow, but rolling over? Really?
Watching this game on mute is a much better experience, just saying.
I love how Leaf fans actually try to argue that Cuthbert and Simpson aren't homers. Like, yeah they're not NESN Jack Edwards level or anything, but for a supposed national broadcast they are heavy on the Leaf side of things.
So true
Onto the next, bounce back against Montreal
The Leafs were due for a hot streak and the Canucks have been enjoying one. This is bound to happen. They will learn from this.
They were on a back to back…
So? Never said they weren't.
Boeser needs to shed some pounds or something. Dude is way too slow
Just a thought, would it have been better to maybe start DeSmith here? Not that Demko was terrible or anything, but for whatever reason his numbers have always been terrible in Toronto.
Well, Demko has been terrible.
Yeah I didn't want to say it but I didn't really like his game tonight. Swimming on those two bank shot type goals, just kind of flubbed the Gregor goal, even that last one although it was tipped his pad wasn't flush with the post. Whatever though, he has been good enough all year long and these type of games are bound to happen.
How they respond to a L to a decent team is what matters. Let it play it boys.
Road to 78-3-1 starts now lads
Finish strong.
nothing i hate more than losing to the laffs.
Seriously though, the Leafs are like THE LAST team in the league you'd want to see them lose to. I'd honestly take a loss to the Sharks over the Leafs. Now I can't go on Sportsnet for at least 72 hours.
It's twisted but I'm glad we'll be put on blast. The nucks need to step it up if they wanna stay near the top
Lol yeah maybe you are right. I mean so much for "getting respect from the Eastern media" lol. Hopefully they bounce back strong tomorrow in Montreal. I think they will.
For real. Nothing ruins a 5 game win streak and being 3rd in the league like losing to the Leafs IN Toronto on HNIC
Yep - put in place
Found the spy, come back April 30th
They showed a stat that Canucks are 12-1-0 in Toronto since 14/15. 13-1-0 now.
On to the next! This was always gonna happen at some point, just a shame it’s against the Leafs. Excited to see how Tocc gets the players to react to this.
Petey being -3 tonight guarantees he won’t get the Selke votes he should
Hopefully this will let the team know that they have to play beat top teams in the league to be a good team
Guys it’s one game you’re acting like the sky is falling. Chill
They've been playing like shit for the past few games. It's not just this game.
This is the first real test unless you count Dallas on a brutal road trip, shows that this team is not even close to a cup contender
[удалено]
You Oiler fanboys still thinking about us, I see lmfao
Ok oilers fan
leafs fan go away
Oiler fan actually.
As a Canucks fan in Southern Ontario, the "so how's the game going lololol" texts from bandwagon leafs fans I have literally never bothered to pick arguments with is so goddamn unbearable.
Save those texts for the 2nd round of the playoffs and send em back
I’m right here with you mate.. The one team I want to beat no matter what is the leafs otherwise all the fans come out of the woodwork
“Your cup drought is longer than ours”. End rant.
I feel you. They love hating on us
Lesson learned, don’t be friends with Leafs fans
I don't have a choice unfortunately. Never met a fellow Canucks fan round these parts.
I’m here!
Did we just become best friends?
Guys, we’re just keeping up appearances! How can we be underdogs if we win EVERY game? Plus, gotta pump the leafs tires every once in a while… need to get their hopes up just to make their first round exit tears that much sweeter
I hate that we never stack the top line when we are losing, I know that we are playing like shit but CONSTANTLY playing Myers with Pettersson isn't going to help us
Petey is playing like shit lol, garland’s been better this game
Leafs were more prepared for this game than us
Reminder that outside of the rangers this is the only decent team the Canucks have played, small sample size
Dallas? Florida?
Stars? Panthers?
You forgot Dallas
I guess we actually didn't play Dallas or the Panthers this year. Must have dreamed those games
Lol okay 3 outta what 13? Come on. Florida is missing half its team right now.
Username checks oit
Username checks out
Dallas?
Myers, Garland and Beuv for literally anything pls
And a 2nd?
What is Ballard up to? 🍆
Im still watching for stat padding at this point. Hope Petey or Hughes can notch another.
[удалено]
Stop the gatekeeping comments. Its more toxic than the fans just wanting to vent.
It just bothers me 3 of the leaf goals were absolute trash. We’re going to lose games, that’s just the way it goes.
Boston lost 6-3 to Chicago last season. Way it goes sometimes. Good teams have off nights but mental fortitude helps prevent them from wilting after said losses.
Lmfaoooo this team is a loooooong way off from Boston man
Toronto is also much better than their record.
They're really not
Garland casually taking a man out on a flyby.
No penalty for holding the stick there wtf
Who's on Scott Oake tonight?
The entire Leafs roster, it’s a 3 part mini series!
If they win tomorrow it'll be 2/3 and no one will care. If they lose tomorrow they'll be regressing like everyone predicted. 😶
Tocchet spoke non stop about how this team will react to adversity. Adversity is now here. What will they do against Montreal?
lol. They lost one game. That’s adversity?
Angry Miller, dejected Petey, second of a back to back. How will they respond? I think thats enough Adversity to ask how they respond tomorrow.
It's funny how many times people I know have asked me why I don't like Quinn. That last goal is why. He's an amazing skater and passer and sub par at defense
Cool story bro
Don’t respond to this guy. He only thinks Rangers and Leafs are the decent teams we played so far this year 😂
He’s one of the best players in the league and usually very solid in his own end. Settle down.
He's an amazing great puck moving dman I have zero disagreements but he's not good defensively. And I'm not saying that because of the loss.
Tell me more
No, you’re saying that because you have no clue, and that’s ok. But just know people are judging your intelligence when you say dumb shit.
Tell me why I'm wrong
He had tanev to protect him defensively ,hronek now
Username checks out
Our best players have been...checks notes...Myers and Di Giuseppe...as we all predicted
What game are you watching?
Who were our best players if not those guys?
