York Newbury: Canucks come back late, lose late in game 4

Let me guess before anyone else says it...

Grrr Refs. Grrr DOPS. Grrr the League.

Everyone is out to get the Canucks and the league is trying to support McDavid.

Wrote the game is Friday. It’s actually Thursday. I blame the alcohol and the time zones.

Tochett nailed it with this...

"Some guys, I don't know if they thought it was the playoffs"


Not sure these guys have the passion or drive to turn this around?

I didn't watch the game, I was out with enjoying dinner and drinks with family and friends, just catching the highlights this morning. Nice almost comeback. Should be a good game on Thursday!!

The passengers need to show up pretty quick.

Also, we don't need to know about you're gluttony.

Last night's game really exposed the ones who have been playing poorly. Wasn't a good look for them at all.

It's perplexing with the stakes so high. Especially EP40.

It was a frustrating game to watch.

He has been a huge disappointment.

Especially when you see how Lindholm is playing. They need to re-sign him.

Especially this far into the playoffs. First couple games you could see with a young player. But the one thing they can control is their effort level, and that’s been lacking at game 10 which is troubling.

He's not the only one, but he's a big part of the problem.

Thanks Yorkie.

He needs to be more passionate about the game.

Ya, Lindholm has been playing very good, that whole line has been good.

Trade Pouty.
- Marwood

Yes please. Him and Hronek can both go.

In all fairness to EP40, maybe he's not a fit in RT's system.

His stat line looked ok, second most ice-time, but zero's on the offensive side of things. Just reading Twitter this morning and 50% of the people are throwing him under the bus and 50% are saying he's playing with guys who are offensive blackholes for wingers. Karlsson has 0 career NHL goals and Mikhayev hasn't scored since I was in my 30's.

He's fine lol, the kid had 89 points this year. How come that's so easily forgotten? He hasn't been playing well offensively for almost three months but it's not like it's not in there somewhere. When he plays with offensively talented players he thrives, but he apparently can't drive that on his own, which is an issue!!

In all fairness to EP40, maybe he's not a fit in RT's system.

That and he has no wingers, but Miller and Bo before him, used to have no one and were still playing decent.

Saw this on Twitter...that's a lot of dead money.

It's not going to be a pleasant experience for EP40 if this continues.

The fanbase/media will eat him alive. He just can't be a regular season player.

That and he has no wingers, but Miller and Bo before him, used to have no one and were still playing decent.

If he doesn't fit in the system, that's a huge problem.
