The hilariousness - one win or two we leap frog way up in the standings into a playoff spot. Hard to believe with how bad we are playing that we are still in the thick of it

Zero sustained offensive zone time outside the Sedin line. Our Bottom 9 forwards are dreadful

Lack had a strong glove though, he would have snagged those out of the air. :P

Just tank already.

This team isn't showing they have it within them to compete, so why should management expose the kids to this cancerous environment. Get this season over with and let's head to the draft.
I agree. Everyone just sucks right now. Goalies suck, defence sucks, forwards suck. Did I say our team sucks? :lol: Our guys look like they have packed it in already, season is over.

That was pretty much the only thing Canuck fans could cheer about in that game. Just wish we had Prusty in 2011. :lol:

re-sign Prust for that awesomeness.

I'm ready to trade vrbata, hamhuis, miller and one of burrows/higgins, gotta keep some vets around.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Game was a dog's breakfast.....the kind you find on the floor when you get home from work that evening.

Markstrom, definitely not great. First goal you can't blame him for at all. Vrbata bungled that badly at the line and then Edler forgot about Marchand. The shot went right beside the corner of his shoulder, that's a really tough save to make unless you are staying up late (and very few goalies are in that situation). The second goal went to the same side through some traffic. Higgins playing way too deep meant that Markstrom didn't see that puck until it was 15 out. The third goal was abysmal, he looked like Luongo in Boston on that one. Fourth goal was a bounce in a scramble and terrible defense by the 5 skaters. Gotta give the kid a pass on this one as he got no help.

I'm kinda done with Dorsett. For what he brings he kills offensive zone pressure faster than Higgins under pressure, so it's either WD playing him at the wrong time, or he just need to move. The fighter era is over, and while Dorsett can skate, he can't pass, shoot, or handle the puck. Prust isn't much better, but he's a bit bigger and smarter, and dirtier. Frankly I don't care for either of them, but whatever. That whole 4th line tonight looked terrible out there the number of times they couldn't handle the simplest loose puck or pass.

I loved the intermission stuff about Edler's gap control. Brilliant. Very obvious and I actually missed it, now I see it everywhere looking back at that game and plenty of others. Even though Markstom shit the bed on that, Edler's read was atrocious there. He's chasing the puck too much lately as well.

Weber can straight up go back to Utica. SO MANY turnovers and disrupted passes that he should never have tried, and too often standing at the side of the net doing nothing when Boston was pressuring down low.

Hamhuis is definitely looking the part of a struggling player on a struggling team.

Higgins and Vrbata are our worst forwards. Neither of them attack the net without the puck, neither of them play a physical game, and Vancouver pressure dies with them way too often.

The kids weren't great tonight. However, the problem with this team is on a few of the veterans who are the guys we should be leaning on for secondary scoring, the kids are under too much pressure to produce right now, and they aren't ready for it yet. Sutter coming back will help.

I didn't expect a win tonight, I wasn't disappointed. The faster they fail the sooner ownership and management have to rip the band-aid off quickly.

I have long said the Brad Marchand can play on my team any day. That was reinforced last night. I love the way the guy plays the game. He is what I had hoped Burrows and Kesler would have become from their "Say hi to Kelly" days. A solid shit disturber who takes teams off their games with his skating, shot, yappy mouth and after whistle chipping. He completely butt fucked the Canucks.

As for Your Vancouver Canucks ..... what a bunch of pussies.

The forecheck was was between the bottom of the circle and the goal line as Boston defenders were gathering the puck behind the net. Fifteen feet behind the play does absolutely no good.

I had a couple of paragraphs ready on defensive gap play before Oates and Co. scoop me so I'll pass on it. But man o man are they soft.

Lack/Markstrom LOL
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
