I agree on the misses but he was refusing to shoot up til today. He had 7 scoring chances so he was also getting open. He's going to have to shoot through it to get that confidence back. Teeing it up for Edler when EP has the best shot on the team is a waste 4 out of 5 times.

Also if that crossbar shot is one inch lower the people complaining about EP today would be the same ones talking about his hot streak

He was one of the only Canucks actually getting off shots from scoring areas. I’m more disappointed in the rest of the team.

New weight throwing off his shot. Feel as if some of the younger players with the harder match ups and more minutes are taking longer to recover from previous game.

Someone needs to get the team going for the back half tomorrow.

Same thing happened with Boeser last year

No idea how he's managed to get some many horseshoes up his arse.

Sounds like a really strange pregame ritual

They controlled two periods just couldn't move the puck well enough to score.

How many quality scoring chances did you count?

I think the devils are a much better team than thier record shows, from what I seen it was a good road effort just couldn't score a goal to at least get a point.

He almost had half the team's scoring chances and Miller wasnt really visible in this game. Half the battle won right there as far as EP not being dialled in.

I am not going to over react because Canucks never do good on morning games but I have been thinking for some time that Petey and Brock should play on different lines.

That's right. Traveling to east coast and a morning game. No wonder they were zombies.

A year of maturing, maybe at end of the year they will get got for the playoff run.

We will never see it the other way around, they come here with a day in between games.

Not enough to score obviously

I think my comment on the first period was ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

They came out of the gate strong and right after the non goal the Devils got 8 shots in a row.

VanHockeyGuy agreed

PP sucked

No real hard battles in front of the net

I hope tomorrows effort is better. No big deal just a bad game .

Beagle needed to score on his glorious chance in the first.

I seen brock trying to shoot through the eye of a needle instead of the other side which was open. We go 1 for whatever it was on the pp we get something out of this game, oh well on to the next one.

I'm still annoyed at the game but going to be highs and lows. Still a young team. Better put up 5 tomorrow for good measure haha.

They could definitely use his intimidation 👍

I'm concerned that after the Canucks top guys played big minutes in both St. Louis and New Jersey, they might not have much left in the tank for Sunday's game at MSG.

But I also don't have a read on what the Rangers are really about this year. They've been pretty defensively porous so far...

Here's the new blog, with the recap of Hughes-vs-Hughes and the setup for the Rangers.

Thanks for making me glad I missed this one fellows.
- Marwood

No worries you weren't missed!

Petey missed the net on 8 shots today. I must be the only one that things something is off with him. Some of his passing is way off and he isn’t hitting the net on most of his shots. I know things will work out and he will get better, but isn’t last years caliber yet in 6 games.

I'm freaking out inside.
