@ee2355 If you're referring to what happened in 2011, that's the worst you've probably ever seen of the Canucks fanbase. Generally, we're not too bad. We usually take more severe digs at other Canadian teams and Boston, which specifically and usually everybody else does as well. Teams like Pittsburgh, we generally don't mind lol.

[@HunterMagunter]

Demko left out to dry

[@Novorious]

What angered me the most about the entire game was that as soon as the face off began after Zadorov got penalized, Myers intentionally high sticked Rakell, giving the Penguins a 2-Man advantage, and ended up scoring. If that didn’t happen, Canucks possibly would’ve won 3-2. Gotta give credit to both Miller and Demko. Demko went nuts in overtime, but a tough loss at the end for Vancouver. Let’s take that point and move on to the next game against the Kings. Fun fact! Last time when the Canucks fought the Penguins at Pittsburgh, they went to overtime with 3-3, and Canucks ended up winning. The opposite occurred this game! This time the Canucks, in their own arena in Vancouver, took on the visiting Penguins. They went to overtime with 3-3, and now the Penguins win this time!

Intentionally? They don't call Myers "Giraffe" for nothing. Reddit said it best: he got penalized for being too tall. 😆

Dakota Joshua should be the MVP of the team. The team (also Blueger and Garland) looked lost without him.

[@rayhoodoo847]

I don't think he alone can be called MVP, but yeah the team is missing a lot when their trio is not together

[@Seriously_Unserious]

That Life Line is a momentum changer for sure. When they're all healthy and on, which is almost all games when they're all healthy, they make it tough for the other team to get ANY kind of momentum going. Other team starting to get pressure? Just put out The Life Line and watch them move the puck to the other team's zone and start putting on pressure of our own! Then the scoring lines and pick up where the Life Line left off and do their thing. You never really fully appreciate what a lunch pail guy like Joshua does for your team until he's out of the lineup for a time. Sometimes a team's MVP is not the flashy goal scorers and playmakers, but a hard working guy like Joshua who does those intangible things that turn games around for the better.

That was a STUPID moment from him, creating a 5 on 3 that led straight to Pittsburgh tying the game at 2-2. He needs to be taken off the ice completely, because he is COSTING the team. And apart from Boeser, the rest of the team weren't much good on the night.

At this point I am thinking Petterson would be better off to ride his unicycle and juggle at the same time. He has always dissapeared at the end part of the season. Not a playoff guy at all from what I see.

So two years back petterson didn’t show up for the first half of the season… then went on a tear when Boudreau came in. Last year he was ripping at over a ppg pace. Also… petterson has 18pts in 17 playoff games played..? So I’m a little confused on what your saying here

[@karlkarlsson9126]

Tocchet is no good for Pettersson. Pettersson is a super talent that are getting suffocated by coaching, same situation as with Kuzmenko, but when Pettersson has good coaching the rest of the team plays bad, so.

[@kk-en8ns]

@@karlkarlsson9126 75 points in 61 games… wouldn’t call that being suffocated and why does everyone think kuzmenko is a star?? He had one 39 goal season and has then fallen off hard barely being a .5 PPG. He can’t carry his own line whether it be on the Canucks or the flames. He also gets kept on the bench during tight games often not playing in the 3rd. Again on both the Canucks and flames. That’s not a superstar, these are a (yzerman, sakic, forsberg, datsyuk, zetterberg, Ovechkin, Crosby. Nor is he a star these are (JT miller, Jamie benn, RNH, Duchene) superstars and stars are guys who are consistent, and are on the ice late game when it’s close. Difference makers. Kuzmenko isn’t even close.
