The Vancouver Canucks fall to the Dallas Stars 4-1 in a tough game. Derek Forbort with a goal and Elias Pettersson hit the post. The Canucks had chances but as a whole, need to be better at scoring their chances since they’ve been playing such low event hockey as of late.

Petey, DeBrusk, and Boeser were INVISIBLE….must be nice to get paid millions of dollars to give a half-ass crap effort game after game
The canucks need to step up if they want to get to the play offs
Canucks have no offense. Defense great offense not good
When wa the last time Brock scored
Relax this is the best team in the league lol
They need to get their skill guys going by loading up skill lines. Tochet trots out 4 checking lines night in night out when we need offence. When the oilers need a goal yoi dont see 97, 29 and 18 on their own lines. Toch needs to ge these guys going by putting the top talent together and building that chemisty this low risk heavy defensive low offensive isnt working
No puck luck as the mighty Casey struck us out. Ok, we did get one by him… But a bit of a snoozer.
Is Dallas just that much better?
Yes
Lol…
I was at the game today. We lost 4-1 but honestly the game was much closer than the score makes it seem. We played pretty well especially defensively, had way more hits, won more faceoffs, had a decent amount of shots but just couldn't finish. I'm not mad at the loss because Dallas is crazy and I expected to lose anyway… but yes we gotta capitalize on those chances. Game should have been ours tbh. Probably karma for winning the Minnesota game which we definitely should have lost.
This season is a wash with injuries and stars not ahowing up but this team is super young. Especially with prospects coming in and being full time. Id give them a couple years before they're ready to compete
that Forbort goal is a great reminder of how much better even the less skilled, 4th line/3rd pairing guys are in the NHL than any of us
lets keep up the confidence, and the positive posts
i think it’s too late boys
We would be doing so much worse without lankanein
This team isnt going to the playoffs. What the hell happened over the last year?
Dallas has the deepest forward core in the league imo and can roll 4 lines. They converted on their chances the Canucks didn’t. Canucks need Demko and Hughes back asap.
I guess you have a really good defense when you can't take the puck out of your own end 😂.
day 3 of asking for no score in the thumbnail
Moneypuck has the canucks winning this game 84% of the time, with xGoals 3.41-2.52
You fans need to call out Tocchet. You cannot give your best offensive players only 2-3 offensive zone starts. You need GOALS and cannot score goals without offensive zone starts.
Friggin' mind boggling the line juggling as well.
Nothing worked out for us during this game 😢
I'm on the fence about Tocchet. Safe for a few game this year, our team defence has been superb. But obviosuly that comes at a cost, with our offensive metrics being basically dead last. We saw this happen in Arizona before he was let go. I'm a firm believer that even the most skilled players in the league would be able to thrive offensivley in a defense-first system. So that's a call out to Petey, Brock, Debrusk to step up and do what theyre paid to do – score. I would honestly put all 3 of them on a line next game and see where that goes, it can't get much worse. Still 20ish games to go, need to get some points here by any means necesarry. Some BIG playoff implicative games coming up aainst MTL CGY and UTA. Interested to see how the team responds to teams also desperate for points. At this point I've taken an apathetic approach. If we get in great, if we don't we don't.
Management went too far in the off season with wanting to fix the PK, and went tooooooo hard on defence.
To think that this team won the Pacific division last year. Seems like a decade ago.
keep at it
1:41 Lankinen appears to have, via his left foot, kicked the puck in to put the Canucks down 1–0.
Team looked checked out on that 3rd goal. No back checking from anybody. Boeser doesn’t seem to realize that he’s on a contract year and he’s been playing like a 3rd liner for about a minth
They need a new coach. RT can't fix the offensive problems. When a coach makes the same complaints wvery game, hes the type of person that can't adjust. He's stuck with his systems. Not a great plan. Coaches MUST adapt to their players. Players should not adapt to their coach.
So sad watching these guys and yet they were going to Trade Brock
Yeah let's trade our second highest Goal Scorer just because hes having
an average year…
People are so CLUELESS 🙈
Alviin the fake Chef should have kept Miller and traded Petey last Nov for Necas and a 1st which we could have used with Pittsburgh
EP was playing good, unlucky he hit the poster
The Canucks aren’t a contender. Dallas is. That’s the difference.
Canucks roster is just poorly constructed. There’s just not enough talent on the team. The management never has the patience to properly rebuild.
petie sucks
I've been a fan since the west coast express era. This team is cursed. I would advise any fan to not be so attached. Enjoy when they do well but don't get upset when they suck because they are honestly just a horrible franchise
I thought it was a good effort against a good team. As a longtime fan, as long as my team competes, I am happy with their effort.
Defense ia good but goal scoring is another matter. Canucks if some miracle make playoffs they wont go far unless all sudden they can score multiple goals.
Can we actually call out the problem that is our terrible coach? Been saying this for almost a year now, get Tocchet on rocket out of Van.
Miller destroyed this team
Honestly, I don’t hate the way we played. This is a contender and we had enough posts to win if they had gone in. The finish wasn’t there totally but we look much better than we did earlier in the season.
We only had 2 giveaways through the first two periods, as opposed to our usual 8-12. That was much more disciplined play! I think player confidence is still variable and, personally, I feel that Tocchet over-plays some players – like goalies & Quinn Hughes, which results in inevitable injuries and/or burnout. That aside, it'll take some time for the new guys to adapt to the system.
Please keep on selling Canucks so Blues could mabey squeak into a spot
