Willie Tom Watt Desjardins will blame McCann and Virtanen for this

Bring in the difference makers - Higgins, Vey and or Cracknell. Willies favourites

Canucks were good tonight and easily could have won this. Winless at home.

Wasn't that Horvat out there with Brandon "15 mins/night" Prust?

The problem?

Having Hamhuis and Edler on the ice as your offensive D men when you need to score a goal.

Only saw the 3rd, sounds like we played well, but failed to deliver when it counts. D. Sedin missed on a great 2 on 1 and shortly after the Caps take the lead.

I want to go with the kids, but it might be better to show case the vets for this season to maximize their TDD value. Honestly even with going with the vets, I will be surprised if we make the playoffs, this team is having a tough time scoring.

Explain this to me, he benches Virtanen for a few shifts starting at the 5 minute mark of the 3rd, going with 3 lines putting Horvat with dynamos - Dorsett and Prust but puts him out in the dying seconds to try and tie the game? LOL

I don't understand benching McCann. That line was pretty solid in the first two periods. The Horvat line had a hard time getting going but they weren't hurting us. I must admit I am confused with the shortening of the bench. It would be one thing if they were giving up scoring chances and or goals against but they wern't.

But that wasn't the reason we lost. We had our chances.

We lost on a bad pinch, again, late in the game. Edler wasn't it?

Willie is an awful coach

Yes it was, as soon as Willie fucked the lines at the 5 minute mark the Calitals took all the momentum. He's a pathetic coach, this lost is all on his chicken shit style of coaching

Have to admit, I am still not sold on our coach but am willing to give him this season.

Edler was playing like a space cadet from puck drop.

2-2 tie. The forwards were in fine defensive position but somehow their D makes a long pass from behind his own goal line, right past Edler to Kuznetzov for a clean 2 on 1.

Fuckin' brain-dead zombie Edler. Miller has deserved so much better this season.
