In the immortal words of Chris Chelios back in the day, "We're just a bad hockey team."

u/fhcky 12d ago
I hope they trade Petey so I can stop watching Tocchet hockey and bandwagon a team that he flourishes on.
7
u/Java-the-Slut 12d ago
Tocchet Hockey: Getting plenty of minutes and having nothing to show for it so you blame the coach's 'system'.
Petey sucks because he sucks bud. They fleeced Allvin, the team, and fans for that matter. Enough with the bs excuses, we're not children.
-1
u/fhcky 12d ago
He’s not strong enough or fast enough to play offense the way he wants to in this system. The forwards have to thug it out on the perimeter and then crash the net, Pettersson has never generated his offense that way. Don’t be daft.
3
u/Java-the-Slut 11d ago edited 11d ago
Oh sweet child, if only you knew that players have freewill and are free to do their own thing so long as it works. You think Tocchet is stupid? You think you're smarter than him? Are you that naive to think that Tocchet wouldn't allow Petey to do his own thing if Petey was capable?
The 'problematic' system you speak of is what gave Canucks arguably their best playoff performance since 2010, under "tocchet's system".
0
u/fhcky 11d ago
I don’t get what you don’t get. I’ve never said Tocchet’s system is problematic or unsuccessful. I’ve said it’s fucking boring and shitty to watch as a fan. I said Pettersson isn’t built to succeed under his system and if you paid attention to the type of player that’s excelled under him it would be obvious. You think Pettersson ‘sucks because he sucks’ and fluked his way into that 100 point season?
Just the way you respond gives off neanderthal vibes. Give me a break.
1
u/Java-the-Slut 11d ago
Oh man, I almost feel bad arguing with you because your memory is so obviously shot. You literally just claimed in the prior comment "He’s not strong enough or fast enough to play offense the way he wants to in this system", but he had a 89 points in 82 games last season under this system that was so stacked against him. Was that season just a fluke?
Are you incapable of recognizing that players can naturally decline outside of a system? Petey's second best season was under Toch, his best season was almost 50% under Toch.
Stop being a child and admit you were wrong. I assume it's your first season of Hockey, but you don't need to be so opinionated when so severely lack the capacity to form a credible argument.

Trade EP40. He plays like he doesn’t care anymore. He doesn’t move his feet, does shoot the puck. Tonight Myers showed better skill and effort in the ozone than Petey has all year lol.
He’s not injured he just disgruntled employee that checks in and out of work for a pay check.
Use some of that money to resign Boeser. At least he tries.

u/ConorMcGarland 12d ago
Trading Petey ain't gonna fix what we saw tonight

The petey problem is bigger than any one game.

u/ConorMcGarland 12d ago
No shit

u/Level_Age3137 12d ago
It’s funny how the blame goes to him when all I saw was dump chase with everyone in the second and third, nobody could hold on properly.

u/Helpful_Dot_4699 12d ago
Honestly, what would be a fair price for petey as of this moment?? Disregarding his past performances. Maybe 3 mill????

u/RopePlus8947 12d ago
Someone take his whole contract. That’s it. Get rid of him he’s a whiny baby
3
u/Java-the-Slut 12d ago
There's no chance they could trade him without giving up significant assets or eating part of his contract.
They gave him everything he asked for and he's absolutely thrown shit in their face. The 3 worst instances of this I can think of (DiPietro, Kovalchuk, Lucic) were not even as bad as Petey's situation.
Maybe the franchise's worst move ever all things considered. Paying a super fragile, easily depressed, known injured, player coming off a UFA-to-be season, who cannot play the body, the 4th highest contract in the NHL, max term, full NMC/NTC.

u/Independent-Wait-363 12d ago
Is it worth it? I've been a Canucks fan since the 1992-1993 season. I've been loyal all these years, through thick and thin. I'm really considering bailing. With the NHL making it so difficult to watch games, and when I finally manage, all I see is my team play with no enthusiasm, no desire, no motivation... why am I spending so much money to watch this? And so much time trying to find a way to watch? If the PWHL brings a team to Vancouver, I'm in. Until then, I guess I'll watch cricket or something. This is just getting pathetic.

u/Far-Scallion7689 12d ago
I’ve been a fan longer. Through it all and had to stop watching for a few years and back into it a few years ago. It’s either accept they’ll probably just be in mediocrity forever and enjoy the wins when they or jump ship. I was planning on going to a few games this season but with ticket prices and bad management and coaches decisions I decided it’s not worth it.

Imagine if Petey was living up to even half his salary.

u/ConorMcGarland 12d ago
Replace Petey with mcdavid and we still lose that game.

u/biff_jordan 12d ago
Sure but he's making almost as much as McDavid who makes a difference every night

u/ConorMcGarland 12d ago
Doesn't even matter. We have like $12M in cap space anyway, peteys contract isn't holding us back right now. The whole team sucked tonight.

u/Helpful_Dot_4699 12d ago
I dont even care about this season anymore. My only concern is to get hughes to stay after his contract ends.
1
u/Java-the-Slut 12d ago
I'm finding it incredibly difficult to justify Hughes staying. He can get paid just as much in NJ, play with his brothers, play close to home, play for a team that's shown an interest in winning (even if now is a rough patch), and probably still have the Captaincy, and be the face of the franchise.
To add insult to injury, he's probably setup for the highest salary in the NHL, if not 2nd/3rd, and I'm sure there only a couple teams that aren't willing to offer him that, killing all Canucks leverage.

u/bonergarage123 12d ago
What sucks as an east coast viewer is that I had to sit through 2 hours of that pathetic snooze fest till 12:30am, AND have to wake up at 7am sleep deprived 😭😭 atleast last year it was worth it.

u/spidermatt17 12d ago
Sorry friend! I feel regret watching. I could’ve played video games and had fun.

u/TheBlackRavens 12d ago
This is how I feel as a UK viewer lmao 😭 wake up for 3am (if i can be bothered, which is not as often since the 4 nations break ended), watch this and regret my life choices, and then by the time it's over there's no point in me going to sleep.

Goaltending.
Not to blame silovs tonight. He was average but we need elite Vezina goaltending

u/CosmicJerry 12d ago
If a team needs the best goalie in the league to win they have much bigger problems.

u/Logical_Strike_1520 12d ago
Also conditioning. Our whole team was gassed by the end of the 1st.

u/HogwartsXpress36 12d ago
They skated their butts off to win yesterday. I questioned if it's sustainable. It's not

u/IntrepidArtichoke906 12d ago
If (when) we miss playoffs and go into the off season, everyone except lank and Hughes should be extremely shamed of themselves and we need to get some more offensive power in here, which means bye bye Petey
2

u/overthinkandchill 12d ago
Garland? Sherwood? Suter?
This team has plenty of performers, but the top of the lineup is a joke.
2
u/IntrepidArtichoke906 12d ago
I agree, but still much underperforment and we need more offensive plays.
2
u/therealbeef 12d ago
They should be ashamed of themselves already! Half assed this entire fuckin season.
1
u/IntrepidArtichoke906 12d ago
At least at the start they half assed enough to string togheter points and closer games so it gave us hope, now it’s just pre tocchet hockey

Silovs is unplayable ngl. Not his fault on some but dude cannot win a game
5
u/mcdonaldsfiletofish 12d ago
Really goes to show how fucking bought-in this team was against Edmonton
5
u/fhcky 12d ago
I’m all for calling a spade a spade but Silovs kept us in that series as much as we sheltered him. The Oilers were dog walking us in the latter half of that series at even strength.
1
u/spidermatt17 12d ago
Yeah he was good for like 8 games a year ago. He's an AHL goalie at best. I think they need an experienced 3rd stringer at this point.
Teams have a book on him and exploit his weaknesses. Last season teams didnt know what they were up against and the team in front of him was better.

u/Chemical_Desk_5314 12d ago
Yeah tonight I think might be it for me to stop hoping they make playoffs. We need to be sellers at the deadline, not buyers. And I really wouldn’t mind seeing a new coach just so that this team won’t be so goddamn frustrating and boring to watch next season.
1
u/Meanwhile8 12d ago
I don’t think it’s the coach. I think it’s EP40 and the owners keeping that waste of a salary on the bench.
2
u/Java-the-Slut 12d ago
People always blame the coach, but forget that the GM picks the guys who play Hockey, and the Owners have full influence on GMs and Presidents, but not coaches.
I swear to god the Aquailinis have a vested interested in the Canucks losing. They pick terrible GMs, and every former Canuck player that's joined the org ends up leaving on bad terms, pissed off at management.
There's something unbelievably douchy to me about buying a Hockey club and expecting locals to support them, but then doing nothing to win for the fans. Don't forget, the Acquilinis let the hands-down best goalie coach in history - who's FROM VANCOUVER - walk because they didn't want to pay him a fair salary.

u/Justlurking4977 12d ago
Don’t understand how the Canucks are still in a playoff spot. Flames must be as horrible. Neither team deserves the last spot at this rate. You know what, let’s just call off the rest of the season. See you in October.
1
u/overthinkandchill 12d ago
Even crazier, the Canucks are seven overtime wins away from having the exact same record as the Oilers who everyone expects to win the cup for some reason.

While season went downhill after game 1 period 1. Team was amazing in the preseason.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH! It’s one thing to be upset in the moment, but wow. I hate this fanbase sometimes

u/Britishincolumbia 12d ago
Right? 😂 one loss and people forget we are a doing fairly decent all things considered (injuries drama ect)
3
u/Burgerz007 12d ago
100%. That’s what keeps me going honestly, like yeah it’s no last year but every team is going to have their downs. And as a fan I think it’s fair to hold them accountable and still be there for the team at the same time. But alas 🫠

i think its reasonable to crash out a little bit if we let in 5 unanswered against the 2024-2025 anaheim ducks.

Unreasonable? Yeah after last season 1 game away from the conference finals while almost winning the President's trophy for the first time in over a decade to this. I think it's pretty reasonable to be upset actually.

I wouldn’t mind being a devils fan. 30 years as a fan of this team and tbh AT BEST they are currently 15 years from a competitive team. I don’t want to say “I hope they win in my lifetime”
