We still would have lost. But it was still a BS call.

The league warned teams and players that they were cracking down on cross checking in the corners and in front of the net.
Also, a pee wee hockey move by Myers, panicking and closing his hand over the puck. Poolman should be in Abbotsford.

It was two hands on the stick, from behind, into the boards. Just because it is “old time hockey” doesn’t mean it isn’t a penalty. It is THE thing they are trying to get out of the game this year, teams and players have been specifically warned that this exact play would result in a penalty. It was a stupid thing to do that had no value - Mott wasn’t going to get a scoring chance out of it.

It was with the glove, I’ve seen lots way worse than that not get called to make it a 5 on 3, if it’s the other way around does it get called?

Who would like another Russian that will fall to Van like Podkolzin did?

18-year-old, Danila Klimovich has just 1 assist in his last 10 AHL games and was a healthy scratch tonight.

At what point does the club decide he’d be better served tearing up the QMJHL for the remainder of the season?

Benning making another mistake.

Fun fact: With his goal today, Dalibor Dvorsky (2023) becomes the fifth-youngest player to ever tally in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

The youngest? Nils Höglander at 16 years and 8 days.

Great pick by Benning over riding the Director of Amateur scouting Judd Brackett to make it.

Poor Nuck Up, shattered by what’s going on so much that he’s afraid to show his face.

That's a big thing there, other teams are hungry and desperate. Canucks never show that even though the players should be hungry and desperate every game.

The mentality of the players is broken.

I don't know if Miller is the leader that the rest of the team needs.

I thought they looked pretty good the last 4 games not last night though, but credit the pens. Our scorers aren’t scoring that’s a huge problem.

He wants Klimovich in Abbotsford to keep an eye on the floods.

He’s struggling lately to but being jacked around by green doesn’t help lol, he’s on a different line every shift lol.

When 20 players struggle for two seasons and incoming players that weren't struggling, start to struggle.

There might be a root cause.

Just building meat and potatoes into him.

The Islanders have lost ten in a row, WTF is wrong with them after having such a great year last year?
- LeftCoaster

Same as us basically. Decent team just in a funk.

Whatever, it was a stupid play, he deserved the penalty, it’s only a small part of what’s wrong with the team.

The parallels are eerie really. One of the best defensive teams in the league, consistently going deep in the playoffs, shrewd management and coaching staff.

He's fortunate his owner is just as incompetent as he is.

He is on another level but you have to be when the owner forces mistakes on you constantly.

After 25 games, and despite two wins this week, the Canucks are two points behind last year's pace. Yikes.
