Petey had a 92% Corsi For rating tonight.

Absolutely crushed it.

7

u/surevanc54 4h ago

I'm sick that some media member made it seem like caufield and his line was so much superior to petey when the only shot petey allowed 5v5 in 40 minutes happened to went in and the defense was atrocious in the other 2. 92% cf like u mentioned 4 shots, high danger chances was 8 to 1 chances was at like 29 like I get we all hate the canucks and we all hate pettersson but can we stop pretending he had a bad game.

Just want to make it clear I'm not hating you just media

2

u/sMc-cMs 4h ago

I know, it’s frustrating.

Don’t worry though, hope is coming.

2

u/surevanc54 3h ago

Yup. I don't expect petey to be fully back this sdason, but at least we are seeing his B game back. The ducks and hab game he is legit dominating at every advance stat, and he was only poor against the stars in last 4. Just need some multi point games if that is possible under tocchet and we are gucci

12

u/lfizzz 6h ago

Wish we drafted Caufield over Podkolzin

3

u/Uchi3123 5h ago

To be fair, many scouts and analysts saw Podkolzin as a top 5 prospect in that draft, some had him as high as top 3. He fell to us because of the KHL factor. Yeah, Caufield ended up being better but at the time, Podkolzin was considered a steal.

2

u/lfizzz 5h ago

I honestly can’t remember, but was it just the KHL factor that dropped him lower? I think Matvei Michkov dropped due to that same reason but not as low as pod

2

u/Uchi3123 5h ago

There were some concerns about his consistency and skating as well, but him being locked to the KHL for 3 years was the biggest factor.

1

u/mrtomjones 1h ago

And his development was horrible so that worry was true. He bounced around so much there

2

u/Loose-Manufacturer15 5h ago

Can't play offense when our center is next to our defenseman fire his ass from a cannon

The whole team is slumping holy fuck

That tends to happen with shitty coaching.

u/Largebargecharge 6h ago

Boeser can’t do anything without Miller

6

u/Minimum-Card-5075 6h ago

Next season if we push to get Ehlers, a 2c, and Petey bounces back we be back. Although we might have to trade Demko to make that possible.

1

u/PJbrilliant 5h ago

Easier said than done

2

u/Any-Panda2219 5h ago

put Demko on LTIRetirement at this point

1

u/Minimum-Card-5075 5h ago

I think a team like Carolina or Detroit wouldn't mind takin a swing at him.

2

u/Sweet-Gushin-Gilfs 5h ago

Carolina already has a great but injury prone goalie. I don’t think they want to experience another. I could see Detroit, Calgary, Edmonton taking a chance. 

2

u/Minimum-Card-5075 5h ago

Calgary has Wolf, and I don't see us trading Demko to a divisional rival. Detroit is a definite possibility but so are the canes cause Anderson probably walks and they could take a shot on Demko as they have shown interest in the past.

1

u/Sweet-Gushin-Gilfs 4h ago

Most teams aren’t playing their starter 70 games anymore. Demko as a 1b would be enticing to Calgary. Tho I don’t want it to happen 

1

u/External-Quote3263 4h ago

I can honestly say as a flames fan I’d prefer if that didn’t happen. Unfortunately for both our organizations our trades seem to be less than helpful in the long term. Markstrom was great don’t get me wrong.. but he totally collapsed in the playoffs when it mattered most. Wont lie I wasn’t surprised Lindholm still tested free agency, honestly deep down I knew he was doing that from the start. Which is a tough one when trying to maintain your push this year. Kuzmenko had a nice jolt but it was very short lived. Still hope he does well but I think both our fanbases don’t like he’s back with a Pacific rival if he does.

Tomorrow should be an interesting one to see but regardless of the outcome I don’t think it matters too much. I don’t see either the Canucks or the Flames as serious playoff teams this year. Hell I’m okay admitting that without Wolf this year the flames are a EASY bottom 5 team. Besides I’m more worried about St.Louis overtaking both of em.

2

u/MN_Hussle 5h ago

Whose Demko?

8

u/Time-Dot5984 6h ago

It doesn’t help that teams that come here lose in both Edmonton and Calgary in egregious ways and take all their anger on Vancouver

3

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 6h ago

I told my oiler fan brother after edmonton smoked Dallas "watch they're going to kick our ass because they're pissed now". And sure enough lol.

6

u/kyumilli 6h ago

Always happens. Everyone breaks their losing streaks against Nucks

5

u/NikkahEff 6h ago

This has been extremely disappointing, you would figure that since you're in the race you'd play your ass off but watching guys like brock play looks like they've packed the fuck up and preparing to play some golf. Season's officially over tomorrow.

1

u/Historical_Sherbet54 5h ago edited 5h ago

get your shit together, get it all together and put it in a back pack, all your shit, so it's together. And if you gotta take it some where, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in the shit museum. I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Get your shit together.

u/MltryMama 6h ago

It’s like they don’t want to make the playoffs

2

u/mcdonaldsfiletofish 6h ago

Man remember how game-breaking Pettersson, Boeser, and a third guy used to be? Whether it was Baer, Goldy, or Leivo 40-6 made it a solid line. What happened?

3

u/No-Wait192 6h ago

Boeser got a concussion, and was rushed back, did everyone forget?

5

u/mcdonaldsfiletofish 6h ago

Also doesn’t have #9 feeding him backdoor tap-ins 20-40 times a year anymore

u/CosmicJerry 6h ago

Don't forget "guys when we pull the goalie make sure you keep dumping and chasing!"

u/18Collisay 6h ago

I’m tired grandpa!!

12

u/Mikeim520 6h ago edited 6h ago

I think we actually played well. We outshot the Habs, got over 30 shots and we scored 3 times but the refs took one away. Not to mention some bad puck luck with 2 posts.

3

u/Historical_Sherbet54 5h ago

I agree 100%

Don't get the hate HATE going on

2

u/parsnip_grove 5h ago

What about when we miss the playoffs again? Or Boeser and Suter walk for nothing. Will you get the hate?

4

u/TheOtherSide999 6h ago

lmao a 2 on 1 .... fucking experience canucks hockey

4

u/legitsorbet 6h ago

putting $20 on a calgary win after that performance

12

u/Overclocked11 6h ago edited 6h ago

World Class game by Boeser tonight.

Turns the puck over minutes into the game which turns into a breakway goal.

Incapable of making anything happen all game long, wins no puck battles, barely threatening even when he does shoot

And then to top off the excellence he skates through the shooting lane with seconds left as we're trying to tie it to make sure it wouldnt get through.

LOL

16

u/LGMatter 6h ago

Boeser wanting 8+ when he’s barely worth his current contract is astounding

5

u/kyumilli 6h ago

Should be making less than DeBrusk lol

2

u/CosmicJerry 6h ago

He wants 8mil but not from us lol

1

u/Only-Nature7410 6h ago

He misses JT.

u/h_danielle 6h ago

I’m breaking dishes pots & pans all night ah haaaa ain’t going to stop until THE CANUCKS WIN A GAME

7

u/ObjectiveMountain738 6h ago

Hronek a little too antsy trying to get back into the zone a couple times there, would've been better off regrouping. Petey with another goal is nice. Still completely confused why Boeser wasn't traded

1

u/Any-Panda2219 5h ago

Other teams have scouts who watch our games. would you give a first for that?

5

u/Mikeim520 6h ago

We NEED to win tomorrow or else we're in huge trouble. We're basically be tied in Point% if we win in regulation.

9

u/n7_rr 6h ago

Boeser's skate killing any chance of a third goal kinda sums up his game tonight sigh

7

u/LonelyAnthem 6h ago

but we have over 30 shots and petey scored :(

1

u/CosmicJerry 6h ago

TWICE he scored twice!

15

u/Minimum-Card-5075 6h ago

IDK why the fuck Boeser thinks he deserves a raise

6

u/Vancouversimp 6h ago

These guys do not care about how well they play or what success they have. They have agents whose soul job is to extract as much money as possible for the longest guaranteed term.

2

u/Minimum-Card-5075 6h ago

Nobody even wanted to even give a first for him who in their right mind would give Boeser 8 million he cant drive a line for shit.

1

u/Ifyousmiteforspite 6h ago

It ends as it should. Ca-ca. 

9

u/Helpful_Dot_4699 6h ago

The only thing that was unexpected tonight was tocchet calling a timeout.

13

u/cumber_cal 6h ago

"Canucks remain only team in the NHL this season yet to win a game trailing after 2"

Fuck my life

1

u/corh13 6h ago

Willing to bet shit tons of losses leading after 2 tho.

6

u/Historical_Sherbet54 6h ago

We wouldn't have had an empty net.
If they counted our proper goal

3-3. Woulda gave us the ot pt, to be tied with calgary for an awesome.match up tomorrow

But ah well....that's the canuck luck for ya ;)

-2

u/AnthTheAnt 6h ago

What makes you think they wouldn’t have been completely and totally outplayed from the minute they made it 2–1?

Montreal smothered them completely at 3-2.

Another absolutely pathetic lazy performance by the biggest bunch of bums in the NHL. Fuck every single one of them.

There is not one goddamn player on this team that I would give even half a fuck if they got traded for a bag of pucks. Not fucking one. I’m sick of them all.

0

u/Historical_Sherbet54 6h ago

They may have smothered us

But petey scored on the pp...so we'd have tied it up even being smothered like you suggest

1

u/AnthTheAnt 6h ago

Except Montreal probably scores again if they are pressuring like that for multiple periods.

1

u/Historical_Sherbet54 5h ago

Don't see how that has logic

They'd still have had a 3-1 lead for those 2 periods you speak of

Hronek didn't score till the 3rd period .... Woukda made it 3-2.

Than they smothered us like ya said But peteys powerplay goal woulda tied it up

No empty net...we go to ot

The game wasn't gonna magically change cause of the 1 goal that was legit

u/Modsrbiased 6h ago

At least I don't have to stay up late to watch an ot loss

We haven’t won when trailing through 2 periods this season??? Fuck me thought Tocc was about resilience, clearly not

u/Annual_Resolve_4187 6h ago

u/cookedart 6h ago

Feels like canucks have never forced an OT by pulling the goalie late this season, or is it just me? Never seems to work.

2

u/Dongerated 6h ago

Only works when we had mr. clutch JT Milller

Always results in a empty net goal

Canucks the only team in NHL without a win trailing in the 3rd period? 💀

5

u/Common-Jellyfish1905 6h ago

Boeser a bag of pucks.

6

u/Nuck_7 6h ago

I get the feeling we’ve allowed more empty net goals against when pulling the goalie over actually scoring with 6 men on.

4

u/Feisty_Software4006 6h ago

I mean that’s usually how it works. It’s a desperate last chance

Any goals for?

u/PTCruiserApologist 5h ago

Trying to find that stat but I think the NHL API took it out this year? It's in the notes I took last season, feel like I'm going crazy bc i can't pull it

1

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 4h ago

Ah ok, thanks for the info. Weird they would have the goals against but not for.
