The Vancouver Canucks lose to the Dallas Stars 3-1, JT Miller with a nice goal, Dakota Joshua back in the lineup, the Canucks need some more offence from their stars and the powerplay also has to be better if we want any chance of doing well in the playoffs.

this was atrocious reffing. the linesmen were getting chirped all game by the players. non call on Dakota getting driven into the boards without the puck. calling soft penalties on the nucks. high stick on first goal.
Your push back on the officiating is just as weak as their ability to officiate. If you can't see the trip on Joshua your lying eyes are disceiving you. Really poor take on this game.
the bettman refs at it again. what a disgrace this game is becoming. that was a clear high stick on the first goal. that was a clear interference w dakota joshua when he didn’t have the puck whatsoever. they missed the high stick on hronek when it happened RIGHT in front of the ref and he was clearly bleeding. mark my words bettman won’t let a canadian team win the cup.
I really appreciate your objective analysis of the games. I try to watch nuckhead and as much as I like the goofiness of his content. I just can't get behind the homer bias.
can sm1 tell me what EP is doing out there. he seems to pause with the puck to see what he can do and then he bobbles it and turns it over
Too many soft players–puck/board battles are not good enough–PK is too passive–refs are bad so deal with it by having a decent PK–Petey needs to spend some of his cash on beefing up and skating lessons especially first steps.I have never seen the league as even as it is this year so one or two weaknesses and you're done.Most pundits don't even want to guess at who'll win the cup should be fun
There is a bias towards American teams especially close to and during playoffs, we got screwed by the refs, regardless of whether we didn't bury our own chances or not, I'm sick.of the "what are you gonna do" excuse something needs to change, people need to be exposed for being corrupt
Canucks are not as strong as everyone thinks they are. First round exit very possible
If these performances from petey are a sign of whats to come in the playoffs. I cant believe we gave him that contract.
Even Joshua said he fell
I normally don't say this but the officiating was absolutely atrocious in this game favoring Dallas… also don't get why Joshua was out there over Hogs with the empty net to finish the game. I trust Hogs to fetch a puck and do something with it a lot more than I do Joshua. Especially after being out for an extended period of time
I think we absolutely can blame the refs if they blatantly miss 1 and potentially 2 major penalties, doesn’t matter how bad the power play is from the Canucks they stars would have had 1 goal and honestly they shouldn’t even have got that goal because it was a high stick no doubt
Canucks no longer have a strong point in their game. Swiss cheese defensively, lost offensively. Been in decline for months. Yikes
Canucks aiming for an early playoff exit.
I like your take on the Canucks. You’re not so pessimistic. Keep up the good work
I actually cant enjoy hockey anymore because of shit officiating. Every game no matter the team has multiple blatant missed calls, one sided bullshit and how games are decided on said calls.
I’m just upset that a fun close game had to end like that. Refs are so inconsistent when calling penalties, that’s all I’m going to say here.
Down to the wire , if you dont have a power play you wont go anywhere in the playoffs .
That was a pretty blatant penalty. And dangerous. He should have had at least an interference or something. We don't need to be losing Dakota to an injury when he wasn't even making a play on the puck when it occurred.
even if vancouver got the powerplay on that hit on joshua they probably wouldn't have scored with the way their PP is playing. can't keep pointing fingers at the refs for losing – team needs to get their shit together and play harder if they wanna make it past 4 games in the playoffs
Canucks have to take the high road. The reffing was brutal, but what can you do? Sue the NHL? Wait until Bettman becomes literally Joe Biden? He's close, very close.
Canucks shouldn’t take penalties
Late in 3rd period , high price petterson invisible during the game
