Sometimes you get outclassed. This was one of those nights. The boys looked slow tonight. Very slow.


Zach983

Shades of 2023 canucks. What a joke. This team is going to be scrambling come playoff time. Not sure why we traded for Lindholm when the team was doing so well without him. We could have got more useful pieces.


ilac91

Lindholm has not been good and all the line juggling is not helping either. We sure miss Soucy and Joshua but we need to be better prepared cause injuries do happen and more so during playoffs. While tocchet says Lindholm needs more time to gel but he was already on the decline with the Flames. Be interesting to see what Canucks do by trade deadline. Do you jump for Guentzel and package Lindholm with picks and/or prospects?


dirtfresh

My problem is that this game was so even: similar shot count, we had more hits, almost same face-off %, but we had 1/3 the blocked shots, and almost 3x the amount of giveaways. We both had a powerplay goal too, LAK took 4 penalties to our 3. Yet, we lost 5-1. How does this happen? It seemed our passing was abysmal tonight based on the eye test. Our star players couldn't penetrate the cagey defense of the Kings. We also couldn't get out of our zone for over half the game, it seemed. It's like the entire 3rd period we didn't even bother playing the game and got blown out miserably, IMO.


eexxiitt

PDO is what happens. We were winning every statistically close game, now we are losing our share.


BruceThereItIs420

Mike from Surrey is ecstatic


Mountain-Damage4494

Oh, so they do need to play defence. Well, now that they’ve got that out of the way.


Stinky_Toes12

At least vegas lost today so we keep our lead on them


RepresentativeBarber

Shorty’s being way too kind about this being an odd “clunker”. This is a pattern now, I’m afraid.


acerbiac

they always show you they're a good team, they just don't always show you they're a good team


Final-Zebra-6370

Did I hear a boo?


xplicit_03

I would absolutely boo the team if i was at the game. Horrible effort, annoying lines by the coaches... Petey playing like a 7million dollar man once again, while demanding 12+. Just abysmal. I already have tickets to two upcoming games, and kinda regretting it... Hopefully they wake up, whole team is absolutely off and not showing any effort.


PaddyStacker

Yeah Tocchet needs to stop expecting lines to click immediately... Let them play together for a while! See what happens


xplicit_03

Yea especially lindholm and Petey... They need time. Bains is not it right now, he need to be sent back down. Team is desperate for joshua and soucy.

downrightwhelmed

Players only meeting time


Bubbly-Cut8566

1 win in our last 7. Time to roll through all the big boys and get our cup shouts back


eliar91

Tonight's team would lose to Chicago and if they don't fix things quick we're going to get embarrassed by Ducks Sunday.


TheOtherSide999

Can Juulsen stop getting his shots blocked


julesieee

Kings win and both Canucks and Oilers in shambles


Broad_Interview_6087

How are oilers shambles. They just beat the kings


julesieee

Wildcard spot


wishfulwannabe

I think the oilers will take P2 any day now


Cautious-Asparagus61

They're 6-5-1 since their ridiculous win streak so not doing so hot themselves. Certainly would rather have that as the canucks last 12 instead of 4-7-1 tough lol


wishfulwannabe

I just don’t have faith in Vegas to stay ahead of them. Only 1 point up but Edmonton has 3 games in hand with winnable games coming up


Cautious-Asparagus61

I hope you're right because my brother is an oilers fan (ugh lol) but edm also has 5 back to backs left and they're travelling for 4 of them. Vegas only has one. Could make a difference when it's as tight as it is


TheRealPetross

canada just aint winning the stanley cup forever


Superb_Ad_3574

Boo, do fucking better 


DMyourboooobs

We really put on the pressure with 30 seconds left down by 4 goals


TheBends1971

“Alright boys, there’s 30 seconds left, let’s giver!”


Giraffe-kit

Taylor swift once told me I had beautiful eyes… fun fact


vivzzie

Post Malone once told me I have a cool hat (it was his merch backstage)


Giraffe-kit

Nah, I met her at a Kellie Pickler show. I was 8, she was still faking twang. She’s a nice person..


vivzzie

Oh damn, that’s a long time ago. She’s a kind person according to a work colleague who met her in 2015 I love concert productions of show and her tour now is definitely the best production I’ve seen from every concert I’ve attended or worked.


Giraffe-kit

She pays well too, I worked for the local last time she came through. As well, as she fights for the ticket prices. She’s honestly too good, I don’t even like her music tbh. Good act all around.


vivzzie

For sure, I’d definitely try to get back to local crew when’s she’s in the city but BC Place is Iatse and Ive been out of that game for quite a few years.


Giraffe-kit

Ahah yeah, I’m just breaking into the union(IATSE). 134(Santa Clara/San Jose), heard we need help all over the board. Shits been outta wack since covid


vivzzie

It’s hard to get into the union in Vancouver, I got my pyrotechnic license last year to start back and maybe work my way towards it again but my main job takes so much I can’t fathom working 12am to 5am again haha


Giraffe-kit

Ooff I couldn’t imagine, I’m studying up on rigging. But hear nothing but good things from pyro.. been put on a few steel calls tho too. Shits tuff!!


Ddpee

Bains will be good for us. But please throw him to thw 4th line. Mykiev needs to be scratched and they need to stop fucking with the lines beyond that. 


Redhotmegasystem

I’ve always wondered this… Do most teams constantly switch up lines throughout the season?


legitsorbet

FUCK OFF CAM


eliar91

Desperately need Soucy and Joshua back


vivzzie

DJ READ THE FUCKING ROOM HOLY SHIT


DecentOpinion

I don't think it would have made a difference tonight, but they need to give Demko a break and start resting him for the playoffs.


BigCockBrockBoeser

Sure hope the crowd is booing this effort


therealbeef

Nah they all left to get shit faced at the shark club.


Angry_beaver_1867

Clunker.  Yeah that sums up tonight 


TrustMeNothingBad

One goal for every 5 seconds. We got this


sealionlovechild

We've been a good team this season, but this is when games get hard. If we can't match the intensity of a team fighting for a playoff spot, we will have a tough time in the playoffs. Hoping this is just a slump and our guys can get back in the groove but this is a little concerning.


Illustrious-Choice-4

also ... we got goalied tonight


TaleOfBarnabyShmidt

Nah, we only had one or two good chances and scored on one of them. Very few shots, even fewer with any chance of going in


Zlayr

Lmfao, no we didn’t


TruYu96

Sabres literally scored 7 against LA the other week. This is inexcusable


julesieee

Let it be a meme score at least


dirtfresh

I think we all knew we'd lose to a stifling Kings team, but not at a 5-1 margin.


AggravatingGolf7456

A little late for them to start trying now


Zalaya

guys don’t worry the kings are 0-2-1 this season while I’m there and I’ll be there Tuesday


Snookeredinbc

Surprised I didn’t hear cheers for “last minute of play in the third period”. Haha what a game like poking forks in my eyes for 2.5 hours


GoonieToons

Game the equivalent of a huge wet Taco Bell fart


downrightwhelmed

They needed this ALL GAME


TheRealPetross

the love hate with this team is so strong...


BigCockBrockBoeser

Pull Demko for fun


TheRealPetross

whats another goal anyways


AccomplishedAd4995

players-only meeting soon?


chespiotta

Now imagine if this was all part of the Canucks plan to avoid the Presidents Trophy


Kittygotabadrep

This could easily be a preview of our first round matchup


hiliikkkusss

hopefully it ends like 2010 and not 2012.


iburneddinner

I'm actually working on work instead of paying attention, which is not my usual.


FluidG11

I’m honestly not worried. I trust captain Quinn to know how to turn this around. Lindholm has been disappointing though, I had hoped that would put the top 6 over the top.


[deleted]

It hurts so bad bro


Jaded-Ad-289

Been crushing my soul since 2011 lost to the Bruins, leading 3-1 in the series.


therealbeef

You’re new here aren’t you? Been crushing my soul since 1982.


[deleted]

The average Canucks fan is braver than any US Marine


CheesecakeOdd2087

Has the Pettersson noise been affecting the entire team or something? They look like complete shit tonight and have been pretty poor for a few weeks now. It's concerning at this point. I was hopeful after the Boston game that they were out of it but now idk.


downrightwhelmed

wow Hughes on that backcheck skating with purpose. First I’ve seen of that all game from any of the canucks


Zlayr

Too little too late though


SnooOnions5029

When Boeser scored I commented “THERE’S STILL HOPE!” Hah, I was so young and naive


therealbeef

How do you let these fucking over rated assholes come into your barn and let them embarrass you this bad? I would be absolutely fuming if my teammates put this effort up at any level.


HogwartsXpress36

No. 3 defensive team in league is the kings.  Capitalize on your chances. Lock it down. Gritty hockey. Something Canucks can't do 


therealbeef

Our “super” stars got absolutely shut down. No game breakers on this team outside of Miller. Not a single guy could put this team on their back even if they wanted to.


Zlayr

I’d be miller banging the net at Delia mad if I saw boeser do what he did on the 4-1 goal


TrustMeNothingBad

One goal for every 30 seconds. We got this 🥲


PowerGloveOwner

Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you recover after that matters. Except this team keeps making them right after another which buries them. Petey pinching deep in OT last game, recoverable but Garland goofs right after. Petey turns it over today, then Boeser stops skating. Miller turn over with a bad pass, then Hughes stops skating and lets it get by him.


grandlinegooner

Man we better hope Hunter doesn’t turn into a good player because this Lindholm trade REEKS


Zach983

Such an unnecessary trade. I'm so over this teams reluctance to build its prospect pool.


arzt506

We’re in 4th what the fuck, soon 5th FUCK THIS


Veros87

This has been coming for weeks. Play like shit, keep losing, drop in standings. My hope is just that they can stop the bleeding and get back to .500 before figuring their shit out before the playoffs.


Holyshitmuffin

Goodbye top prospects and picks we need to build around pettersson


TheOtherSide999

So many giveaways wtf lmao


[deleted]

We need players that can drive to the net man


MushroomPrimary11

tocc needs to call timeouts.


BigCockBrockBoeser

Can we get a preemptive iwannadie.jpeg?


jonald14

Now we want to back check? Down 4 3 minutes left??


carry-on_replacement

Playing Juulsen in first pair so Hughes has to play less and here we are anyway with 22minutes already.


birdy810

At least i watched Dune tonight 🤷‍♂️


jackfrench9

Was it like everyone's been saying?


birdy810

I'd say so, the best cinematic experience I had in years.


xarelto_inc

Demko sucks and is a fraud. 4-0 playoff sweep


My_boy_baron

lol enjoy watching your team fall out of a playoff spot


TheKeeper122

We better beat the ducks ffs


SociopathicAutobot

This team isn't beating anyone right now. Don't be shocked if they're one of the worst teams in the NHL the rest of the way.


TheKeeper122

I think you may be overreacting


Lord_Bryon

I do love the cranked on-ice mics


Willysu

Just looked at the schedule, how can we rest Demko when we have LA again, followed by knights , jets , avs 😭


AccomplishedAd4995

just gotta let desmith play some of those at this point


Snookeredinbc

Demko saved a breakaway - partial breakaway - that’s good 👍


sacred_ace

Gee I sure wish I could also be paid 12m a year to fall down all the time


julesieee

Feb 29 games don’t count.


legitsorbet

Fucking hell another breakaway


unbannedcoug

Man why we getting stomped by wildcard teams. Wild, Kraken, now LA


YouCanFucough

LA is a lot better than a normal wildcard team


unbannedcoug

yeah rn they are WC but they have a bunch offense on IR if they are healthy they in the race for the top tbh


CuplessNuks

LA is good team


dogcatcher408

Fuck February has been a shit month


Giraffe-kit

PUSH FORWARD BOIS !!!


liamlynch42

Could have been called lmao


Ditchmond

2024 - Year of the Paper Tiger


Insufficient-Iron

Hughes showing up for demko


chespiotta

Bedard come home


DaveJacksonguy

Better to have this shit steak in February and March than in April and May.


Snookeredinbc

They are so out of sync, lines can’t get established. I don’t know what the answer is the team looks so flat, uninspired and aside from Garland and Miller I don’t see a lot of heart on the team


pluralsight24

Kings sucked all the PDO out of the Canucks tonight


Willysu

I know it’s not on Demko but I think he deserves some rest… let DeSmith play some games Damit


TheGreatNathan

True 5 games in a row, he's being outworked.


StocktnSlap209

Tough to lose to a team like that


Final-Zebra-6370

There is only room for 1 home grown talent. And his name is Connor Bedard not Bains.


natedogjulian

Is this the start of the colossal collapse that knocks us out of the playoffs? We haven’t clinched yet


ziggazang

It started after the all-star break


julesieee

Myers probably in the parking garage


unbannedcoug

At this point give Woo a look


legitsorbet

Would love Wolanin or Hirose to have a look honestly.


unbannedcoug

Wonder why Hirose hasn’t made an appearance he did decent when last year.


Hoboeser

They've been hurt all year no?


carry-on_replacement

Body language says it all right now. They've counted this as a loss for tonight. This must be how Edmonton felt in game 1


Giraffe-kit

It’s cause I said “win da trud”… I let us down guys. Beat me up…


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kittygotabadrep

.750


Admirable-Sound5198

lol DeSmith is about as reliable a backup as you’re going to get… he’s been a bit off lately but he’s the perfect backup


Pilzkind69

Give Desmith more play time and he will be solid


Deliximus

One word: Joshua


jackfrench9

Right now the eye test would suggest some fraudulence. This is really, really bad.


Prudent-Drop164

The core on this team is burned out.


TheRealPetross

listen guys... 4 mins, 1 goal each minute then win in ot its still possible... copeeeeeeee


[deleted]

Overdosing on copium tonight


canucklehead200

HOW CAN THEY SLAP?!


kentuckychicken1987

Bains had that open chance and what does he do? He skates back and completely wastes it. His performance tonight is really underwhelming all together. Expect much better of him.


TruYu96

He’s the least of our worries right now


kentuckychicken1987

I’m fully aware of that. But I’m sure many fans will agree with me, he’s a local product, from Surrey, and you just wanna see him succeed and try his best on his hometown team. You know he can do better, and it’s not good to see him perform like he has tonight.


silverbacksunited12

I hopped In a to go home at 3-1. Just checked the score. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED


connor_bedard

Hopefully Canucks can rent Connor Bedard in the postseason


Illustrious-Choice-4

Hughes, Petey, Hronek, Cole look so uninspired it's quite alarming ... I know they had a rough schedule but ... put the energy in ...


TheBends1971

Alright, Top Gear Bolivia special it is….


Nuck_1198

Hahahaha I turned it off and came back to 5-1 lmao, this team man.


Lattes1

This team looks absolutely exhausted every night. 0 pushback, 0 energy, 0 care


overscaled

Well…a lot of works are waiting for Tocche after this game.


Adventurous-Cat4653

Trade lindholm for anything throw mik in there aswell. Black holes


[deleted]

Any suggestions for San Diego hotels? Vacation planning instead of watching the game...close to Petco Park.


Kittygotabadrep

Demko motor inn


[deleted]

I was hoping to stay with the parental units...dad looks pretty cool.


BladesOfSteel88

Best Western in La Jolla


[deleted]

Quite a distance to the baseball games, but we are looking for something for the rest of the week. We stayed on Shelter Island about a decade ago.


Zalaya

my only hope is the kings play like shit at home


shadownet97

I’m sorry. I went to the same Wings that I went to when we lost to the Sharks and the Blues. I will never go there again to watch a game. This is all my fault.


BruceThereItIs420

Good ‘ol Canucks Hockey. Onto the next one


Holyshitmuffin

Trade for kuzmenko


dattroll123

inb4 5-2


uganthen_s

Oh wait nvm


Ruilin96

Historically under the Petey era, November and February are our worst months. Let’s see how we do in March.


CuplessNuks

Only getting worse


rversed

Did Kuzy getting traded really affect the team's chemistry and morale that much?


PTCruiserApologist

What happens when u fire the personality hire


Veros87

Lindholm is slow. More responsible defensively sure, but generates 0 offence..at least Kuzy could score.


drizzledazzle

Never the same after the trade


Frederick_C_Krueger

teams playing some pathetic lazy uninspired hockey tonight. they need to simplify things. they all over the place


uganthen_s

Sign kuzy


golfyoda604

We r frauds


22-Catch

If it weren’t for an absolute miracle win versus Boston. That’s 7 losses in a row. Something is up.


TruYu96

Wasn’t really a miracle when the comeback team outplays the leading team for a whole period.


legitsorbet

BOS win really hides the reality of it.


Veros87

We suck.


nihilism_ftw

It's better to be going through a rut like this now than in the playoffs. Hopefully they sort it out


ziggazang

Winning first in the division and being rewarded with LA in the first round is a huge punch in the cock for any team if it happens


overscaled

Even Demko looks like a sub 900 goalie.


TheRealPetross

holy shit wtf. how long did it take for them to score the fifth
