If a team falls further in the loss column and nobody is around to watch it, does it make a whimper?
I wonder if the media and their followers are actually feeling sheepish now for trying to pin the blame of the implosion on the real leaders and play-drivers instead of the actual culprits? The guy who bankrolls this mess and the 3 Bald Amigos?
This is literally one of the worst, last place teams in the history of the league... only 2 seasons removed from almost reaching the Conference Finals.
We're literally talking about re-signing the gum that you're trying to remove from the bottom of your shoe? Dear lawd.
Just because 1C, Ted Blueger or new C Flip Hronek gives their commitment now, it doesn't mean another season like this and they're not calling their agents before this disaster severely affects their remaining careers.
Every time I think it can't sink any lower... it does. 11 shots. GD.

One of the worst games for passing we've had in a while.
Good observation. The Canucks are not particularly fast, but to me this is less an issue of foot speed and more an issue of not making clean passes and not making quick decisions. And it is already a team that doesn't pass (or accept passes) particularly well. Some players use the summer to hone their shot or add strength. Hoglander should spent the entire summer trying to hit a moving target. He is a playkiller because he can't make the simplest of transition plays. O'Connor should spend the summer just taking passes. If the guy had softer hands, he might actually be a good player.
One positive takeaway is that while the game was sludge, that was in part because the Canucks did a fair job not letting Vegas have (much) that was easy. Second positive is that while the big goalie let in a big softy, he really played well in terms of positioning and rebound control.

Yes - Tolopilo had a good game, and was almost in a position to 'steal one' for us (something Canucks goalies haven't done this season).
