Do everything you did in the first two periods against Seattle and don't do what you did in the last two minutes of period three.
That's it. That's the plan.

The nucking secret to this game is simple.
Get the other team's D-corp very drunk before the game.
Then Nucks can play and still lose, sure, but in a more fair manner. The Nucks D appear to play drunk nearly every night, so why not?

Exactly where we thought we would be to end 2024, playing a 4 point game for the final WC against the CGY Flames!

Brisebois is a freaking legend for hanging around in the organization for going on seven years, doing basically nothing, and playing like 1.5 seasons worth of pro games in the last 4-5 years.
Quote:
Flames I'm sure have been watching the recent Canuck tapes.....and they'll bring their A-game on the forecheck.
If you get in fast on this blueline with pressure they'll serve up more turnovers than the pizza-pop aisle at the local grocer. Predicting at least a couple of egregious, weak turnovers from Myers; and Desharnais-Juulsen won't be far behind.
Lankinen will need to stand on his head once again.

Fire Benning!

My interest with hockey started when Hossa was with the Senators and scored a ridiculous goal sliding on ice.
Then it started to develop during Sedins cup run.
And peaked when...Commando Dimbo took charge of the team.
The fat bastard almost destroyed my faith in the team.
Luckily, having seen everything during the reign of error, what's happening right now is really not as big of a deal by comparison.
Quote:
I'm lucky because my wife is a witch and she casts some spells and makes some potions and hocus pocus I can watch one of the games in it's entirety after the first one ends! No idea how she does it, but works out well.
Murphy’s Law Season
Quote:
Need to know how long Hughes is out to decide if the season is lost or not.
Quote:
Hughes we need you
Quote:
Quinn, if you read this, please get well soon
Quote:
What is this team without Hughes lol
Quote:
As bad as we've looked at times so far this season I always had the firm belief that we'd eventually turn it around once the team gets healthy and we make a move or two.
But neither of those things have happened, and now we're in an even worse spot than we have been with Hughes and Hronek both out multiple weeks. Petey being out of the lineup for a week doesn't even seem like that big of a deal in comparison.
Quote:
I like to imagine Petey, Quinn, and Fil are watching this on the couch wearing 2025 glasses
Quote:
Unbelievably cursed season for a cursed franchise when you add everything up.
Demko out for months
Joshua gets cancer
Boeser takes a dirty cheapshot and still hasn't quite recovered
Hronek out for months
Hughes out for weeks now
Pettersson now potentially out weeks
Miller out a month for personal issues
After a promising season last year, apparently the hockey gods decided (again) that Canucks fans can't have nice things.

Open up the tank thread again boys, this team is done

Quote:
Christ, Juulsen is brutal. Protect the front of the net you oaf.
Quote:
Let’s his man get behind him then checks Soucy instead of playing his position. Such a great Defense! One of our best
Quote:
Holy #### this is Looney Tunes level defense my god
Quote:
There's Juulsen's mandatory 100% responsible GA per game.
Watched too many of Eakins swarm defense highlights
Quote:
I can’t remember the last time I just straight up hated a bunch of depth defensemen.
Quote:
It's comical watching nearly the entire roster make the dumbest possible decisions at almost every opportunity
Quote:
Juulsen and Soucy losing the man behind them a tale as old as time
Quote:
That Calgary goal was brought to you by the Canucks right side.
Repeated idiotic plays by Juulsen, Myers and Desharnais to top it off.
Hey Allvin, wanna call yourself out yet? Because the team can’t perform due to the defence. Or should the players start talking about you to reporters?
Dickhead.
Quote:
And both going to the same forward leaving the front net wide open
Quote:
Yeah why did they both chase one guy and I think Juulsen knocked the puck back to the center
Quote:
ok I guess I start drinking early tonight :,)
Quote:
Wtf is Juulsen doing
Quote:
Juulsen lets him get behind then crosses up with Soucy on the retrieval leaving a man in front alone. ####ing hell
Quote:
Juulsen so lost out there doesn’t even know what side he’s playing. MFer thinks he’s Quinn Hughes lol
Quote:
They need a good third pair defenseman like this ####in second. I get no one will give up a genuine top 4 while we are desperate and I'm okay with not overpaying. But get at least some help please please please.
Quote:
Im so done with Juulsen. Seems like this guy is at fault for so many ####ing goals lately. Ship this guy back to Abby.
Why the #### are you awkwardly shoveling the puck back into the crease?! Clear it to the ####ing corner, we had numbers. But no, shovel it right into the blue paint for the one Flames player that came in late.
Quote:
Just an abysmal signing. He's worse than Erik Gudbranson. No reason to give him the second year either. They should have paid Zadorov his money, he was a perfect fit in Tocchet's system and it was a case of both the player and the team benefitting in a symbiotic relationship.
Reeks of Jim Benning, although that f***ing guy would have added another year and another million per.
Quote:
lose this game kiss the season goodbye. its better. keep the prospects dont panic. hughes hronek will have a full year to recover lol. clagary will win kadri and hubby hattrick. 5-2
New Years Drinking Game

Drink
Quote:
But yup..I knew why ya said drink laughed and had to abide
As I replied to your first drinking game myers missing the net suggestion. And also....Why I returned the Happy new years back to ya

The pain I feel seeing a Forbert-Myers top pairing must be what giving birth feels like. Giving birth to a really disappointing kid.

We get #1 defenseman Tyler Myers for a couple more weeks...yippee
Old Arena Shade
Quote:
Does the saddledome purposely make the ice look brown to imply they had cows crapping there four hours earlier?
Quote:
Camera man is drunk
Quote:
I can literally feel him moving the camera back and forth on the puck. Not panning smoothly at all.
Quote:
It looks like a pre-season game in a Junior A building or something
Quote:
Am I drunk already or is this camera work hard to follow and focus on?
Quote:
Cameras too zoomed in. Not liking that at all
Quote:
the camera and arena look old if that makes sense
Quote:
Honestly the saddledome is a better viewing experience than Rogers.
Wider concourses, and the viewing angles are better. Seats have a harsher incline so you’re not blocked by the person in front.
Only been abused by a coked out person once! Surprisingly wasn’t a dude either. Girl told my 6 year old niece to get the f*** out of the way… when the concourse was pretty much empty. Substances..

Icings/60 are gonna go through the roof now aren't they?
Quote:
A lot of attention is made of the need for another puck rushing dman but I'd settle for someone who can make an accurate outlet pass
Quote:
The team looks brutal
Toch has decided to play an extremely defensive game. That doesn’t work if you never score
Myers dumps the puck in and gives it away almost every possession
Quote:
Feel like the Flames figured it out that our D sucks once they get pressured and they are now doing this to us.
Quote:
What an awful sequence by the blueline.....they get the puck and either fire it out blindly or ice it. Pretty well inevitable they'd cough up the second goal.
Watching Forbort, Myers, Juulsen and Soucy is hard on the eyes at the best of times.
Quote:
Honestly I would play brannstrom 25+ minutes every game just because he’s the only one who can actually move the puck
Quote:
Pretty sure he's the only one that hasn't whiffed on an outlet pass so far.
Era of the Wolf
Quote:
Oh good, Flames have a fantastic goalie. I’m sure this won’t piss me off for many years.
Quote:
He's been damn good this year. They're set up nicely for a long time.
Quote:
Must be nice for the other team to know they can make a mistake and nothing will happen because it’s impossible for this team to capitalize on them.
Quote:
Wolf is stealing this game for the #######s.
Fight Night Lights

Neither of these fights seem like a good idea, strategy-wise, but I’m into the overall idea.
Quote:
Refs: alright, can we get this game going again gentlemen?
The gentlemen: no.
Quote:
This feels like Torts is our special guest coach
Quote:
ill have to admit this game is at least funny in a very very stupid kind of way
Quote:
There goes our best puck moving defencemen in the box lol
Quote:
If Miller gets injured in a useless fight, I'll be pissed
Quote:
now we have no scoring or passing from D orF for the next 5 mins
Quote:
Brannstrom fighting, no we have one less defenseman
Quote:
No puck movers now nice
Quote:
lol our number 1 center and defencemen in the box
Great
Quote:
Nah what a dumbass decision Millers part. They need him on the ice being a scoring threat, not in the box
Quote:
Miller is a solid teammate, didn't want Brannstrom to be lonely in the box.
Quote:
But.. why?
I don't understand the point in any of this. Both fights were bad tradeoffs
Quote:
Consider that at this point sending off any opposing player along with any Canucks player seems like a good tradeoff
Quote:
And now we’re about to be down to 4 defenseman thanks Juulsen
Quote:
We unfortunately have 6 #6 dmen so it confuses Calgary on who to fight.
Quote:
Wait why is the box so full just switched from the Canada game.
Quote:
Lol now Forbort fighting... its like the Canucks want to play with no d-men.
Quote:
lol I thought Forbort may have got hurt falling there
Glad he got up
Quote:
Why the f*** is another defenseman taking himself off the ice for 5?
Quote:
New strategy: all forwards, no defensemen
Quote:
Lmao even the D we do have dont want to play for the Canucks
Quote:
We need a f***ing goal Jesus Christ
Quote:
No only fights sorry
Quote:
5 bros just hanging out
Quote:
As much as I'm mad at the call 5 guys in the box is such a funny image
Quote:
Miller standing up so Myers can sit too lol
Kadri finishes a beautiful passing play
Quote:
What in the f*** am I watching man
Quote:
We’re being toyed with now
Quote:
why did they all just stare at the puck and not move lol
Quote:
But it’s pretty
Quote:
THIS. IS. CANUCKS. HOCKEY.
Quote:
We’re getting absolutely dominated
Quote:
Tochett is gonna grab a stick and start playing here in a minute
Quote:
10+ years now of having a bottom of the league defense. Is there no end in sight?
Quote:
Why are we playing Juulsen still, just f***ing why.
Juulsen is absolute #### and a f***ing scrub

Garland with the disconnected controller

Tocchet replaces Hogs for Joshua on the Suter line and Joshua falls asleep.

Five minutes away from ninth in the conference. I see the 'tank thread' is officially up on HF Boards.

Pathetic
Quote:
Out of the playoffs
Quote:
Cap crunched team that isn’t even a playoff team lol.
f***ing joke.
Quote:
I f***ing hate Juulsen, #### player
Quote:
Juulsen be like, “I’m Quinn Hughes now” and try to log 30 mins ice time
Quote:
Bro, Desharnais gave the puck away twice for no reason in the final 3 minutes and it killed so much time
Quote:
Soucy is so stupid this year.
Has puck at center ice.......does a limp ass blind backhanded pass.
Unreal.
Quote:
Just pure idiocy.
That's our entire D group right now. Basically just placeholder NPC's who serve 0 purpose. They don't play a winning style. Their entire existence is just to eat up ice time and do nothing productive.
Quote:
Quinn Hughes is literally the only reason why this team is even in a playoff discussion. I don't know how the #### he isn't the runaway choice for the Hart.
Quote:
The Nucks look like a giant 3rd line. Every line is a 3rd line. We are trying, but no hands and no shot.

This d core wouldn’t even do well in the AHL

Lomberg is worth the price of admission every night. That guy is awesome.
Watched his post-game. How can anyone not LOVE this guy? So well spoken too. I love this roster. Every interview guys are taking about what a tight knit group they are. When it was down to Huska and Love, I wanted Love. What a mistake that would’ve been.

It's too bad Lomberg seems to have no hands. He's in position to score a lot. He has great wheels, makes decent plays, seems to have a good hockey IQ.
If he had hands, he'd be Iginla.
Very under-rated player IMO. Obviously Wolf is a huge factor this year, and guys like Bahl, Pachal and Coronato are pleasant surprises, but I think Lomberg is a HUGE factor. He brings more energy than anyone, everyone is 2 inches taller with him on the team, and he is not just a leader but also a glue guy on the team.
laughed and had to abide
