Frank Corrado: Demko's first game back! Can you win a cup under Tocchet's system?

[@tonykung8756]

Unless we're shipping draft picks to go out and acquire a bigger name top-4, there will always be complains about the Canucks blueline. If we get a smaller puckmover, once he gets out-muscled by a bigger forward and gets scored on, then the media will harp on him for being too small...,

Thank God! Frankie's back... Seriously upset they couldn't give Demmer a Win. Haven't ever seen so many passes that missed by inches...Can these guys aim for the tape? Maybe need a new colour? blue or green or pink?

Line play and chemistry has to improve

[@hookstreet.]

Are we sucking at home because of the media? Do we need to black them out and let them just play??? The numbers don't lie. A lot of fundamental miscues and players holding the stick tight. I'm finally appreciating Tocchet's style of play with heavy forechecking and pressure to gain opportunities. At home we seem to boggle the puck and lose opportunities to attack the other way. Maybe we should all shut the F up.

The problem is that tocchets system has been failing this season. We're supposed to be good defensively and get an early lead and sit on it, but now we're being outscored and our chanced every game

Desharnais/Branstrom duo is 12th in the league

[@hklinker]

12th in what?

[@nabatron21]

Remember when Boudreau was coach the team was scoring but letting in too many goals and relying on the goalies too much. Welp toccet system wants team defence with low shots but high danger chances…it also relies too much on the goalie too. There needs to be a mix of both systems. This team is too slow to do dump and chase and get the puck back. They rely on huggy to get point shots through and that’s it. You rarely see the fwds down low making plays and attacking the net. The fwds are too busy getting the puck to the D for maybe a shot on net.

I don’t give a shit about scintillating. Win games. Win a Stanley Cup.

Tocchet system is too tight. Kinda boring to watch to be honest. Nucks get out shot every game because their system is so defensive and wimpy

[@breakawaybooks4752]

2 ugly goals on which he looked more than rusty. He looked awkward.

[@DUDE72341]

Well evaluated...last night canucks looked slow...turnovers..lower possession time...demko was out of spec...multiple times....yup we have boring hockey....with low shots...couple more losses at home and fans should be passed off..I am...

[@MarkR1111]

Demko is sloowwww , should have been traded 2 years ago. He’s officially injury prone now and is not a trust worthy goaltender because of that. He will Be injured again this year.. enough is enough
