Anyone else remember a young Brock Boeser staring down prime Carey Price and beating him clean to the glove side? Feel for Brock right now... 2 GREAT chances on the PP just now.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
EP40's not throwing any hits since he got back from injury either... which, again, is why I think he's got an oblique issue.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
#Petetyplay 02 coming up as HΓΆglander draws a call after 2 glorious chances to get his 1st of the year.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
Absolutely agree... threw Tolopilo to the wolves. Maybe he thought the team would rally and play stronger in front of him? His D structure doesn't allow that to happen at any time though...
#Canucks #VANvsMON
No goals in 20gms (if he doesn't get one tonight) will absolutely kill your confidence, joy... he's not having any fun out there at all. 5SA's, 2SOG tonight. -2 on the night.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
Exactly... and nobody knows the answer to that unless... he's just NOT an NHL coach.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
Think Foote's rational was that Lankinen almost played a full game (2 periods) in the last game so... rest him. Not working out so far.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
I'm not saying the Nucks should be winning at all, and not blaming Tolopilo for the (probable) loss... just saying he's looked WAY better in previous NHL games (and the 1st period).
He's young, he'll figure it out.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
#Peteyplay 01 coming up... can the team find some life, do we even want them to? Experience #Canucks hockey.
#VANvsMON
He's made a few great saves but the 3GAA in the 3rd should not go in on an NHL goalie... MAYBE the Matheson shot as he was screened a bit by EP40's attempted block, but really... all should have been stopped.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
Granted, they play again tomorrow night vs the SENs so, he probably gets the entire game.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
The more expensive the hockey ticket -> less atmosphere in the building (except in the playoffs of course).
#Canucks #VANvsMON
Awesome way to start the 3rd... Petey tries to block it, misses, Tolopilo can't pick it up... goal.
#Canucks #VANvsMON
WIN DAH TURD!!!
I'll say it again, EP40 has NOT scored a game winning goal since DEC 23rd, 2024... today would be a great day for his first GWG in over a year. COME ON PETEY!
#Canucks #VANvsMON
The embodiment of what is wrong with hockey culture... just brutal, lowest common denominator, low hangin' fruit, F'n meatheads.
Way to grow the game Amazon... but what did we really expect.
