None of this would have happened without the star contract being given to someone like Petey. If he had the fiery character of Miller, he'd be one and Vancouver would be legit, but he's been tamed by successive coaches who emphasize the "LITTLE THINGS". Now, he's a little player. If he ever wins a cup it will be as a sidekick.
Drance it's baffling to you because you don't understand the Xs and Os! This team was showing signs of this style of hockey going into the playoffs last year. They were out-played by Nashville but won the series based on individual play and a better line-up. Rutherford and Alvin did their job – that line up under a better coach would have gone to the cup final! When so many players are struggling – your star centres – Hoglander 2 goals – your all star goalie and Lankinen who was so good early in the season, you're watching is a system/style of play that is always a step behind – it's not aggressive enough – they're stuck and almost standing still in the own zone and as a result there's no transition or offense. The players have lost confidence in the system – that's what you're seeing and that's why they're losing!
WTF is Drance talking about? The Canucks haven't "imposed their brand of hockey" since last year. Man, this dude needs to pick his head up and stop looking at stats and spreadsheets. Idiot!
This isn’t on the coach. The team is being asked to be a playoff team and they don’t have the back end. How many years in the last 3 or 4 have they given up a 1st round pick just to make the playoffs? They didn’t rebuild in 2014 and they’ve ended up doing patchwork ever since.
Alvin’s biggest mistake was singing Miller over Horvat. Also letting Lindholm go after giving up Kuzmenko, a first round pick and a couple of prospects, effing stupid IMO,..
Could have had Conner Benard a super star already!!Oh no had to win useless games out of playoffs a loose Benard!!Canucks are very lacking in common sense!!
Dont trade anyone. I don't think Miller and Pettersson even dislike each other so much that their play suffer. Demko might be finished because of injury, People just assume that Pettersson and Miller ( and pretty much anyone on the team) sucks because of a bad locker room environment. But stick up to each other. Now!
Evander Kane is coming back, Canucks need an Enforcer Nikita Zadorov and pound and flip Kane back over Oilers bench. That was priceless. Zadorov 🇷🇺 dont take no sh*t from anyone
Demko will NEVER BE HEALTHY. He will always be comimg off on an injury, finding his game and on the verge of being injured again.. We need to trade him for a 2nd rounder and let someone else loose with him.

Should have kept big z
Unsubscribing to SportsNet+ today. They should pay us to watch.
Embrace the suck
The owner is the one to blame for poor consumer confidence, lol! Every time he tries to tell the front office what to do if blows up in our faces.
This season has been heavily disappointing but 55 years without a Stanley Cup is freaking unacceptable!
"Successful teams don't have 4 coaches in 4 years."
Yeah but we're talking about the Canucks here Dhaliwal get your head in the game.
The good news is Nucks held 97 pointless. The bad news is Oilers crushed them WITHOUT 97.
By goaltending not being there I take it you mean Demco stinks, in the nicest way.😂 😂 😂
none of this would have happened if miller didn't choke out pettersen after the nashville game.

Well,at the very least,you started Vancouver on fire when you lost the Cup!The hockey gods,and Tim Thomas are guffawing !
Drance get a decent mic bro. Come on.
Does anyone else see that there is major rot in this team. Naslund was way better than petterson and nobody wants to be the next bertuzzi
Biggest worry for the Canucks is the next few years ends up costing them Hughes long term.
Remember all that useless winning they started doing 2 years ago that caused them to still miss the playoffs while missing out on Connor Bedard.
All so Tocchet could have ‘time’ to evaluate the team before the off-season.

Drance is on Bluesky, but doesn't post. I wish he would.

To top it off this franchise seems to have made a perpetual enemy of the refs

Watch Lankinen, Pettersson and Miller get hurt at 4 nations.

Agreed its certainly not the coach..There's no accountability from the core and we need a playable top heavyweight enforcer.

Consumer confidence?
I’m confident that tickets for Canucks home games are getting cheaper by the day.

JT & Petey should kiss 💋 and make up
