Ray Ferraro on the Canucks 6-0 loss last night, differences between last season and now

[@kevinVersus]

Ray is bang on with his assessment. I think the problem is the star players would rather play slow cute fancy hockey where they think they can float around or mostly stand still and be successful that way somehow

[@shanegleeson5823]

They should have repeated the same training camp as last year. They started out much more together defensively. That's lead to the a season start where issues like the PP are half the focus now while they still don't have good positioning and defensive transition. They're too good not to get better, but they sure aren't clicking. Fortunately their division makes it possible that they can figure this out as they go and still make the playoffs. They need to bring back the lotto line. Get those guys going because they all know each other so well they can start working well together again.

[@dwaynedavis3990]

No one is talking about Myers being on the ice and kinda responsable for how many of the goals against this year? He can play passive at times, then jumps in at weird times, then puts stick too high here and a elbow in the ear there... Yikes! I think he is a physical specimen and a good team guy that can be a difference maker... just not always in a positive way.

Chaos Giraffe appears frequently.

Ep40 most over paid NHL player ..

[@mrfake675]

Nurse

[@synergygaming65]

Bar none on pace to be the worst contract in Canucks history, arguably the NHL. Francesco may very well swallow this 100-million-dollar investment whole with almost zero return on it.

[@douggarden]

everyone has to stop making excuses for EP40....his lack of fight, heart, grit, and will to win is UNACCEPTABLE....PERIOD

[@fredbrandl880]

Totally agree Doug.

[@gocanuckurself1]

Amen!!!

[@garrettma5758]

I mean you can see him trying but I think this chronic tendinitis affects how hard he can go and might be career-long issue 😢. Good for him that he got the bag before Canucks knew about it.

[@marcusmiller3491]

If only that was the teams only problem....

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

This, and he has to stop trying to be a player he can never be. When he goes into the corners to check people it's just pointless. If he wins the fight on the boards, who does he pass the puck to? Someone else needs to be going into the corner so that Petterson can play like he used to, take the pass and shoot the puck.

[@dchana]

this trio is the best bromance in hockey media

[@cole9739]

Love listening to ray.

[@mrfake675]

Me too. His audiobook narrations are top notch. Crisp and emotive that add a richness all there own.

[@mrfake675]

Peterson needs a personal tesla robot to help encourage him in this often difficult and confusing world.

[@pasqualeballetta4370]

Does every critic need to be mean? Its Fkn hockey your livihoods are not affected it is just sport! Calm down people

[@JaneNayes]

Show me someone who is okay with losing and I'll show you a loser

[@johnbraun814]

They are missing the X factor and Alpha of Zadorov. Debrusk is invisible.

[@mrfake675]

Debrusk came to be close to daddy ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ he sucks

[@MikeS29]

Vancouver overacheived greatly last year, and are probably the most overrated team in the NHL right now. The recency bias of viewing the Canucks as a playoff lock is a pressure they won't live up to.

[@AmbientMusicStudio]

I hope you're wrong but it's not looking great right now.

[@derekcote9705]

Overrated/overachieved, pretty hard to agree with when they just fell short of the president's cup (not to mention two games up and a goal away from going to the conference final). To just squeezed by to make the playoffs, where at the beginning of the year they were considered to miss, is something else. They're stars are slow and the only reason they're winning is the bottom half are pushing the puck down and scoring goals. This will change when the stars realize the feet need to move before they can dance.

[@CashMacGregor]

very insightful observation after 9 games in. you make it sound like you knew this all along. what would your rhetoric be if they were 7-1-1 ?

[@sauceking3344]

I strongly disagree. I think you ironically have some recency bias yourself as they just lost 6-0 to the Devils.

[@MikeS29]

@ - well I’ve been saying it since game 1

[@TheBlazersfan22]

Winnipeg best chance for a canadian stanley cup

[@fdti6914]

We don't have Demko... of course, we are going to be leaking goals and play streaky

[@viperswhip]

EP40 conned the management by playing well for the first part of the last season for his stupid contract.

[@pjmmaloney4458]

Thatcher Demko is back on Nov 1 … right????

[@dianedyck3474]

You know he might not be the same!..I don’t mean to scare you and I hope for the canucks sake he’s ok but you do have some good goalies …I really like that young silvos!

[@christhornycroft3686]

Look, I know all of us wishes it was the early 90s or the late 80s again, but somehow I don't think 2 grown men are going to dress up for Halloween. That's for kids. The table set up is enough. I haven't celebrated any of that stuff for years. You know what I do? Turn out all my lights and hope the kids outside don't hear my TV on low volume playing a scary movie and start pounding on the door.

[@soundforsoul9825]

Devils dominated for 60 minutes!

[@canada1966]

EP 40 is a bum. Next game I go to I will toss his jersey on the ice during warmups if he doesn’t get some goals

[@JaneNayes]

The warmups are before the game. How are you going to throw your jersey during warmups when he doesn't get a chance to score goals during the game.

[@nicklbckluvr]

U trade him and then he gets 100 points for the team he is traded to. Guaranteed.

[@johnbraun814]

2 issues. They overachieved last years and new less skilled players.

[@birdmangarage]

too early for chemistry. probably problems in the room, cant just throw in 9 random UFA's in a room and expect it to be a hot recipe.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

Keep telling yourself Luongo was the problem. This fanbase is the most clueless in sports. Painful.

[@LiamDrives]

should go back to the old system

[@37BopCity]

I always respect what Ray Ferraro has to say, but he's being diplomatic because he can't cross the line with serious criticism. The fact is, last night was one of the worst Canucks games in recent years. They sucked. If Canucks continue to play such poor hockey and keep losing, people are going to start calling for a new coach. Tocchett seems unable to make these players come together and focus like they need to, and play their hard and fast A game right from the very first period of every game, instead of their B or C. We will see what happens on the California road trip, because if they are as bad as they were last night, this season is going into the basement.

[@Nothing6gof]

Just stop thinking Canucks can be real team of any success, you’re dreaming. been watch Canucks for over 45 years. They suck and will always be a disappointment!!!

[@Nfnf889]

The team is 4-2-3. My goodness some people acting like they at 0-9 lol. Look at other teams in the division struggling and in way worse of a spot. Tochett has talked about changing the system. They are still adjusting also with the new players. They will figure it out. Typical Canuck nation overreacting

[@user-ji3il6ce2o]

3 out of the 4 wins were against lottery teams

[@JaneNayes]

No. Pettersson didn't figure it out last year and it's bled into this year now. Stop making excuses and take some accountability for your team. Show me someone who is okay with losing and I'll show you a loser.

[@19Jharris]

Pathetic Only one fight ?? That third period should have taken an hour On frickin fight and your captains brothers are in town and you can’t even get up for that??

[@Chumdubgess]

Stop making stupid excuses petey needs tp get over himself this is a joke lmao
