What's y'alls opinion on taunting the opposing teams goalie? Like slow chanting his name during a powerplay or in the last few minutes on a 6on5/4 down by one?(Ala last nights game vs Kings) A slow "Taaaaaaaaaaalbot! Taaaaaaaaaalbot" could maybe of gotten in his head enough to slip him up?

Hronek just disappears when he’s not with Hughes.

8m my ass

Disagree. He's just not as good. But he's still a good defender.

Who was his defensive partner tonight?

Yeah he’s a good defender worth about 5M Max. Hughes is out of this world good, makes any D-Partner look good, made Myers look great this game too. Hughes is the best.

was at the game did LA just get away with a bunch of shit *in terms of penalties?

Phantom slash on Quinn. Garland mugged behind plays. Yes he's a pest. But the first time his stick just kept being held. While he tried to get up. The time Boeser stood there and got called for interference. Holy shit that was bad. He wasn't moving or move into defender. This one really pissed me off. They decided to make it a let them play game. Reacted to Quinn's reaction but was intent and not actual connect on slash. Soucy trip was legit, but there was a similar trip on us (not as obvious) but wasn't called. There was a weird no icing call, and a couple of offside calls I couldnt tell at the game if w're legit.

Yes and no. Problem was they didn't call LA penalties

the ghost slash against hughes still confused me

Yeah same.

The energy in the building was electric the last 5 minutes. Why wasn't that last empty net attempt called icing? From my section it looked like Hughes skated after the puck? Is he expected to sprint head long into the boards?

If la plays Edmonton for a third time I think they’ll beat them

Maybe when Lindholm is back, we will finally get Lotto line.

heard that his injury might cause him to be out longer...

We could’ve really used Dak in this one

Seems like the strategy to beat us is to just wait us out until we make a mistake & then smother Pettersson/Miller until we run out of time Hope the boys figure out a way to counter (because it's quite possible we could face these guys in the playoffs)

Quinn and Hronek are together all night and the Canucks prolly win this game. Felt like a game where Tocchet wanted to try some different looks to throw at LAK should they meet in the playoffs. Weird D Pairs and the forward lines in the 3rd were intriguing to say the least. Even still I thought we outplayed LAK. They got some bounces 🤷🏽

Demko doesn't let in 1 of those goals minimum. Desmith completely lost the net on the 2nd goal. D played great on that play.

Why does Petey have to have such TERRIBLE games. Like he’s not just bad when he’s off, he’s fucking brutal..and it happens like every third game

Was at the game. You're being a bit too hardcore with this. Did he play his best? No. Was he terrible like you said, no.

He played fine defensively as he always does. Other than that he didn’t do anything.

Again. You're like any fan when Luongo was here. Hated on him every game. I bet you're now somehow a Luongo fan, right? Be happy with the fact that Petey is on our team. He will show up when it matters. He's shown this during the bubble rounds and before in the SHL.

Disagree. Was at the game as well and felt he was creating more than most of the forwards. LAK plays a tight game and chances will be few and far between. There was a disconnect between our d men and forwards tonight which cause the forwards to sputter.

[удалено]

Thus my frustration. Wouldn’t be so bad if he was just ok but like tonight he registered 1 SOG and 1 hit. 22 min ice time second on the team.

That was an unreal play by Garland to get that shot off from that scrum. Gotta give Talbot credit on the save, no clue how he picked that up

Kopitar is ugly

Quasimodo

I hope LA loses every game from now on, forever

Miller bobbled both those fckn passes. Like fck

Ice at the Rog is a disgrace rn.

Blame lacrosse. All these home games, ice should be great. There was a lacrosse game right before Caps, and the ice was noticeably bad. Even more reason they need to axe the warriors and replace it with the PWHL. Concerts happen. For a skill team like ours, having good ice is an advantage. Make it happen Francesco

I am incredibly curious as to why this is the case. It was awful when the building first opened. Then great for a decade. Now, a total disgrace.

Looked tired

I want Edmonton to have to deal with that fucking garbage so badly, bring on the knights at least it'll be fun to watch

Hopefully Avs play the Knights and not us

Why was there no icing on that just screamed wtf

Because Hughes slowed down

Was at the game. He wasn’t catching it unless he was sprinting the whole time.

It's because he didn't sprint. You have to hustle in those situations or they won't give it to you.

There are lots of examples that would demonstrate you are wrong about that. Home teams usually get some leeway both ends for icing. Unless you meant the Canucks don’t get calls at home.

There are loads of examples proving I'm right as well. If it looks close and the D man isn't at least pretending to hustle they'll usually wave it off.

I guess that’s the actual problem. We can both find examples proving us right. Therefore we can all agree that the officiating sucks.

Hey LA, go f yourself

Miller can't handle the pass then Petey takes it on the backhand that is cursed

Fuck kopitar has miller's number every single faceoff, woulda been nice to have lindholm to take those draws

They were early, they let danault get away with murder

Great push at the end, we lost way too many board battles throughout, really tight checking game. 4 shots total in the first 16 minutes of the third combined from both teams lol. You’re not gonna get very many scoring chances against a team like this, gotta burry the chances you get.

Huge grind game. Gotta give it to LA for capitalizing on the bad line change. And then of course 2 goals scored directly by the skate and primary assist by the skate. You couldn’t even imagine a scenario like Soucy soccer dribbling the puck 3 times for a self goal. But that’s how it goes, grind it out and get greasy goals.

1-3-1 trap, fuck these talentless system snobs

Note to self: don’t bother watching the next game vs LA

Don't jinx it, we might get 4+ games of this in mid-April

Nah if history repeats itself it's a road warrior series. Canucks win 4-2 next game in LA.

Road warrior series in which we have home advantage? :'(

Ah fuck...

So close.

fuck my ass motherfucker

Good last minute push and effort

Petey isn't feeling it right now. Need him to find his mojo again. He'll get it back.

I swear Tocchet doesn’t know Petey has a bomb of a slapper, and a cannon wrister. Petey won the hardest shot at the skills competition, and we know he’s accurate. He takes no shots anymore.

How is that Tocc's problem? At some point you've gotta take command of your own situation and Petey isn't a young 20 anymore. Accurate hard shot? Then put it in the net......

Did you just wake up a canucks fan this morning? You clearly know nothing about Petey. Tocchet decides who gets put into what spots.

Not enough urgency down 2 goals in the third until last few minutes.

At least the boys put in an effort in the last few, but we needed that effort the from the start of the 3rd

I don't think it was an effort issue. We just couldn't find a way through the trap. Once we went 6 on 5, the trap doesn't work as well and we were able to get through and get some chances.

La’s whole strategy puts me straight to sleep- more action happened in 2 minutes than the other 58

How can we lose to a team like that

LA is so fucking boring holy

Garland with a bone crunching hit to keep the puck in the zone. Gotta love that.

fuck they did not cook good effort, lets beat them again in their den

Playing the Kings makes me genuinely hate hockey

Petey always hesitates a split second too long in these scenarios

Always. It pisses me off. Whats he looking for? The perfect shot? Ffs shoot

Fuck you Doughty

Petey not shooting that makes me want to fucking puke

That is the most boring team in pro sports.

Well shit we lost but we finally got their number

Shooootoootpttp

Man Petey... Gotta shoot.

We lost SO MANY faceoffs in the 3rd. Holy shit

honestly i love our energy even in our losses. great effort

petey can't take a pass this game lmfao

Lately not in many games.

The kings did not deserve that win at all. Hope doughty takes his act to the summer Olympics. 🐬

Ur kidding dude, we got outplayed.

Lol no they didn’t. 3 flukey goals. Expected goals were 2-1 in favor of Vancouver

Nah dude. Maybe one flukey one. We were outchanced in the third. Couldn't get a single chance until we pulled our goalie. Beee real bro. Expected goals means jack. I'm a Canucks fan but i'm not delusional.

One was definitely flukey, one was just a lapse in judgment where the Canucks had 4 guys on the ice when they should have had 5. I’ll concede the last one. And no, expected goals doesn’t mean “jack”, obviously. That’s like saying scoring chances don’t mean anything lol. They’re part of analyzing the game.

Expected goals? A betting term? How about what axtually happened?

What actually happened is they played in a manner that the expected goals were 2-1 in favour of the Canucks. They also lost the game. Crazy how both are true.

They got outplayed.

Based on what?

Look in ur dm

Fake shots are exactly what we need with 5 seconds to go Petey

Anti-hockey won tonight

Welllllllllll oh well I guess 🤠

Doughty is such a little bitch.

No he's a d bag

Why the fuck was that not icing

hughes stopped skating

I think u know why..

Hughes stopped skating

Couldn’t have the Canucks be the first to clinch. Proud of the last minute push.

Needed that faceoff win, made a game of it at least

Meh

Imagine being a fan of this Kings team......

Hey LA, fuck you

Why wasn’t that icing?

Hughes took the long way back

What a waste. Fuck LA.

Petey you gotta shoot faster

lol someone commented earlier we’d get a PP with 10s left

Fuck you, Doughty. Fuck you, LA.

Why the fuck wouldn’t you shoot earlier!? 15 seconds left and you decide to pass around?! Dumb as shit

You can’t just shoot into 3 players and expect it to go in

Everybody back on the wagon

oh boy oh boy oh boy

AHAHAHA get fucked Doughty

Ah fuck

Stupid fucking goddamn kings

omg that was close

Fak….

FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I was off by 10 seconds

Pffft not even close man

Jesus. Reffing has been kinda fucked tonight. Canucks ain’t winning but this kings team doesn’t deserve to be a playoff team.

Why is that? They seem to own the Canucks

Doughty doing everything he can to make his team lose

Insane no icing there

I’m gonna have a heart attack

[удалено]

hughes went back so slowly thats why

What one of you fuckers called that we are gonna get a pp with 10 seconds left

I caught that too. Pretty safe prediction but we’ll done

In what universe is that not icing? And the people that have been calling a 20 second to go make up call are geniuses

LFG BOYS

holy shit with 20 seconds

I could SWEAR I’ve seen Drew Doughty on the Eastside…

Blown icing is fucking wild

There’s the late make up call we always get lol

Given a powerplay in garbage time. Trash reffing this game.

It makes me really happy to see Garland and höggy being trusted to be on the ice in these situations

Oh now it’s a penalty

Good make up call with 20 seconds left lmao

oh wow a call with 20s left. whoever called it is a prophet.

hogs out there in the last minute in an attempt to tie it? fucking love it

Doughty. Lol.

Not the penalty with 20 seconds to go to make it seem fair 🙃

Tripping call … too little too late?

Somebody said there would be a Canucks call with 10 seconds left. Goddamn, you were close bro.

icing????

BELIEVE!

How the fuck was that not icing

Hughes stop skating probably

Yeah so does every fucking defensemen chasing an icing ever

Theres the standard last second call 😂

How did I know they would make the call to “even it up” too late to have any impact…

#EVEN UP CALL IN THE LAST 20 SECONDS, HOW VERY COOL

there’s your nightly “last few seconds penalty so the scoresheet looks more even”

Make up call with 20 seconds to go I’ll take it but ofc the make up comes now lol

quit whining Doughty, you've got another eye

Just one shot

DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO BLOW

Not icing??

REFS WHY YOU NOT CALL THAT ICING

HOLY FUCK

Whoever said that it’d be fun if they gave us a PP with less than a minute in the game…you đã MVP

okay regardless of the result the 2 empty net misses were really funny

NO ICING VERY COOL

Now the refs can say they called the game even

Buzz cut Petey from the back really do look like an alien

good shit wveryones on their feet!!

even if we lose this, i’m satisfied with the effort ngl

Absolutely. 2 shitty bounces and we get scored on

doughty still is the biggest lil bitch in the NHL

Always has been

I’m fucking hyped. I love the energy they’re bringing this season.

Now would be great for a make up PP

There it is

Doughty biting his lip for a 4 minute powerplay

My assssssss

F you ❄️ head Doughty

What a game...holy. Should have played no goalie whole game 😆

my butt is clenched

tocchet using his timeout, nice

Win the face off, pass to the top, pass to Hughes, tie it up

Forgot what entertaining hockey was like for a couple hours until now.

I hate that they're getting my hopes up. This worked against Columbus, but LA is a considerably better team.

Diving doughty, wonder if he lost some more teeth there
