148 to fish this one out.

Canucks made it interesting with pulled goalie. Imagine if they had more then one PP in the game.

Better effort but another loss to add more doubt.

He's also scored the Canucks only goal from a defenseman so far. That is a huuuge issue that seems to come up every year.

Well the flyers are beating the Oilers too..

Flames win!

Doesn’t everyone beat the Oilers?

I'm blaming Michael, no pre-game blog effects these guys.

RIP Burt Young ( Paulie) 83

Liked that guy and his acting.

Still can’t see that penalty on Hronek,I replayed it 5 times lol, they were tripping and holding, hooking petey all night even Myers tackled him after he got hooked 😆 still got 2 points on the night, boeser and Miller had a good game. It was an improvement but they seem out of sync but they will come around once they get settled with all these moving parts.

awesome.

I was eight when that movie was released. I saw it in the theatre at someone’s birthday party believe it or not. Nobody ever questioned if it was appropriate for kids, but man did that movie have an impact on me.

Then came Star Wars. But for about a little less than a year, Rocky was everything.

Edit: please nobody say that line was from the third or whatever movie. I know.

I think most fans would have taken a 2-2 start before the season started, but with the way it has gone down I would be hard pressed to find anyone who's happy with it. #Canucks

I’m happy with it. We soundly beat Edmonton back to back. That was great. Philly was a downer, but I wouldn’t expect them to beat TB.

Philly also beat Edmonton 4-1 last night... moral of the story is Edmonton is trashier than us.

How low the expectations are

Current NHL averages vs Canucks stats
5v5
Shooting percentage 7.6% to Canucks 12.7%
Corsi for 44.8% for Canucks
expected goals for 7.6% to 7.6% expected goals against 7.6% to Canucks 10.4%
Scoring chances for 42.8% for Canucks, High danger 41.2%
Sv percentage .900 and .931 for Canucks.

So Canucks are bleeding chances and other teams are controlling play. No surprise to anyone who has watched the games.

Still on track for a top 10 pick?

Little early to say but if they don't control play better, I'd say you are looking at a .500ish hockey club by seasons end. Teams that make playoffs are just much better at controlling play.

#Canucks combined performance in second periods on this road trip has been... very ugly.

Outshot: 58-16
Out-attempted: 100-33

Only outscored 4-3 though.

That long change for a team that doesn't control the puck very well

Actually, looks about right. Looks to me like they're still not comfortable as a team with the systems play. Also the bottom 6 hasn't really been a factor the last couple of games. Maybe since Lafferty scored in Edmonton.

I agree with your later post. The long change is killing them. I also think that not having last change does as well. Combine the 2 and it's been disastrous.

It's still early, thank God the Goalies are on while they iron this stuff out. 2 and 2 is actually better than last year. But man those last couple were painful to watch.

IMO, Tyler Myers is the biggest problem on the team. Figuring that situation out will improve the team.
