Positives
- good start, 2 goals in the first frame

Negatives

- gave up a 2 goal lead
- who wears #23?
- Raymond looks lost
- defensive pairing switch up didn't seem to work
- a few questionable rebounds by Roberto

Cut. Print.

Its time to see kassian play a full game with the sedins. He can play the cycle game and he's strong on the boards. If not kassian then call up up mancari and see if he can play top6 in the NHL like he is in the ahl. I'm 100 percent positive he is a upgrade over Bambi Raymond. Lugongshow is lost in net and is the third best goalie we got right now. To bad AV is to busy having laughing attacks to see it.

Tanev is the only player to finish as high as a +2

Good for Tanev. I'm still in disbelief that he and Mag are looking the closest to mistake free out there. The Sedins were not great but did pick up points...it's a start. Thats some of the good news.

43 shots by the Canucks and 4 goals. Thats a good enough performance to win typically. This loss will have to hang on Luongo and Bieksa. Lu was soft as hell and Bieksa getting caught deep lead to a goal and then in the box for another. So often those two suck or play huge hand in hand.

What makes it worse is the Yotes were short some key players for the night and also played with 5 D. Smith played nowhere near his usual compete level tonight. This stinks

Tanev had an awful pinch that lead to a 2-on-1. Lu stopped that one, but it could just have easily have been another bad one. Way too many odd man breaks allowed and way too many squandered breakaways and odd man rushes for our team. It was like pond hockey out there.

Preseason hockey.

Whats going to happen when Ballard is healthy? Does he make the top six? Who drops out?

Sedins make a decent 3 rd line.I see tonight they are using their other linemates.

No, they don't back-check.

No, they don't back-check.
- Marwood

They could be our 4th line cuz right now our 4th line ain't contributing f*** all

The guy bugging me the most is Raymond. He keeps going offside and missing chances when he's wide open. It's just too much. He needs to sit.

Corsi.

If Luongo starts next game I'm out, this team is done first round
- LeftCoaster

Ditto....this is total crap man

Thanks to the Nucks for losing to the Yotes...

Oh c'mon, DCT. I'm not arguing with you...just showing you where you're incorrect. Didn't realize I affected you so much...poor, poor, pitiful....

speculate |ˈspekyəˌlāt|
verb [ no obj. ]
1 form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence:

fiction |ˈfikSHən|
noun
literature in the form of prose, esp. short stories and novels, that describes imaginary events and people.
• invention or fabrication as opposed to fact: he dismissed the allegation as absolute fiction.

I can see how you would speculate that DCT's opinion was fiction, but I bet if he was interested he could provide some factual data to back up his argument.

These two things are not the same, sorry, you are wrong this time.
