Good News... Nucks didn't lose a player
Bad news... lost the game. In 7 excruciatingly stupid minutes.
Nucks outplay, outshoot the Fawks through 2 periods. Get rewarded with no goals on this Knight. 0-0 after 2.
Canucks go from a team who can't keep a lead on the road, to one that can't keep a tie at home.
In the 3rd... the Nucks had a defensive...
Gave up 4 goals in 7 minutes of horrific collapsing. Gave Bertwozee a hattie, FFS!
#Canucks look like a team that can skate tonight and that’s it. Can’t string two passes together and can’t finish at all. I don’t care if they have 43 shots, 41 of them are long-range.

Total 3rd period collapse by the #Canucks…. Myers -3 and took the penalty that opened the floodgates
— rodmickleburgh.bsky.social (@rodmickleburgh.bsky.social) November 5, 2025 at 9:17 PM
A turnover by Myers in his zone, leads to a flood of Nucking oopsies. FFS!
Late in the period Nucks do the stupid comeback thing too late. At least R2 breaks the Knightly shutout. With 2 minutes remaining Kane scores. WhoopDeeDo.
With a minute to go, Petey makes a bad shot choice right to Knight who lofts the puck up ice where Huggie fumbles to keep the puck away from Bedard and his EN goal. His 1st goal against his childhood fav team. Former fav team.
Nucks lose 5-2 courtesy er... discourtesy of an epic defensive meltdown.
OBSERVATIONS:
I am back on the Myers trashing bandwagon. Unless he starts playing like Zadorov he cannot be playing over 20 minutes a game. No one is afraid to be in front of our net at all. No one is scared to be flying in the neutral zone. A big hit once a game would be inspiring. #Canucks

When the rookie Willander and part-time NHLer Joseph were the best Nucks D and Myers and Huggie are not, it's not a good game. The Chaos Giraffe / Quinn pairing was horrid.
Despite the good play in the first 40, the Nucks were leaving the back door open. And open even wider in the 3rd as Uncle Bert's nephew got his hattie waiting by the backdoor*. 3 goals from the same non-coverage area. *Not really, but don't spoil the rant - he did get his 3rd goal waiting out front for the Nucks to fall down. And they did.
Good thing the Nucks have a (rookie) coach who played D all his NHL career as he might notice that horrible backdoor gap and the flailing around, the falling down and not blocking shots. He likely will mention it to his Nucking defenders. Maybe in January.
Special teams? No thanks, Nucks would rather not. 0 for 2 on PP and 0% on the PK.
Five (5) goals allowed in the third period. B. R. U. T. À. L. #Canucks

So the Chicago Blackhawks are telling us a rebuild works? #Canucks
— Paul Le Comte 🇳🇿🇨🇦📷 (@paullecomtephoto.nz) November 5, 2025 at 9:31 PM
Rebuilds work for teams not owned by a short-sighted slumlord.
In 2014 President Trev lobbied for that very thing.
And got fired for it. Here we are.
Sounds like Sportsnet was paid to do about 10 pro-Kane bits. Felt a little coercive, heavy handed…not buying what they’re selling. @sportsnet650.bsky.social @sportsnetmurph.bsky.social #Canucks 🏒💙💚

The best way to describe tonight's #Canucks game is that despite having 45 shots, Vancouver did not shoot the puck enough
— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) November 5, 2025 at 10:48 PM
Would have been nice to watch EP40 take over the game. That's just so 2023.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Shortie and Dave keeping their composure all game. Unlike the Nucks.
GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
A naked Kane reveals even more. Avert your gaze!
Quinn gots some 'splaining to do.
Lanky getting back doored in the presser too. Tough gig when your D can't check the doorman.
Footey trying to press too much in a presser?
Call us Nucks fans crazy... but still...
#Canucks head coach Adam Foote used the term "Mental Fatigue" three times in his post-game tonight.
— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) November 5, 2025 at 10:25 PM
Canucks is a fatiguing team to watch this season - like the past decade and beyond.
This sub-500 Canucks faces another team not making playoffs on Saturday in the ROG. Won't that be fun.
Canucks beat the refs and the fascists!
-- Twitch
Good News... Brockstar scores! Twice! Including GWG!
Bad news... blow 2 goal lead. Twice.
Fresh from his ballsy return from the Faeries Friendly Fire incident, Brock gets his revenge. Puts Sorrows into flashback time.
Nucks start the game well and are rewarded with a goal against, compliments of an EP40 fumble at the o-zone blueline and a Myers' take no-man, take no-path, make no-play play. 1-0 Preds.
Doesn't matter as the Canucks get a PP. And get a goal! Not a 1st unit one, but a 2nd unit goal, from Kane! Not making it up. His 1st Nucks goal in his 14th game.
Kane now on pace for 7 goals this season!!
-- Ripper
1-1 after 1 and, believe it or not, Nucks outshot Preds 12-4.
In the 2nd, Nucks score again. On the PP. No, really. Despite looking slow and boring on the 5-on-3, DeBrusk scores in DePaint 5-on-4. Nucks lead 2-1.
And Nucks extend the lead, as smooth skating Willander skates into the predatory zone drawing all kinds of gawking from the predatory D, goes behind the sorrowful net and backhands the puck out front where it bounces out to Brock who blasts it past Sorrows. Willy's 1st NHL point! 3-1 Nucks.
With couple minutes to go in the 2nd, Nucks have the safest lead in hockey. R2 takes an iffy call and the Nucks iffy PK gives up a goal. 3-2 after 2.
In the 3rd, because hockey doesn't make sense, Kane scores again. On a delayed penalty. Setup by Huggie... did we miss his dekes? Yes we did! Anyhow, M-Petey puts the puck on net, Karlsson swats it over to Kane, who has enough time to both score and take a stupid penalty. Decides scoring is enough. This time.
4-2 Nucks early 3rd and they're ready to close this one out.
Or are they?
Nucks get hemmed in and can't clear the zone. Preds pressing and a shot from the point is kicked past Demmers. Apparently not a kick just a redirected bunting skate. Ugh. 4-3 Nucks.
And because they haven't jobbed a goal for the locals, refs call a phantom high sticking penalty on Kane. There was no high stick. But there was a Kane. Close enough for the NHL's discount beer league refs.
Kane is dumb and takes dumb penalties but I’m not sure there was a real infraction there. Refs stink. #Canucks

And of course, Nucks PK can't preserve the lead and the refs have tied the game. They must be so proud.
OT
Canucks get Huggie out there to dazzle the locals and confuse fans as the strategy appears to be just get the game to the shootout and let Demmers do the rest.
Our OT has been a hot mess so far.
-- Twitch
HOWEVER, in the last few seconds of this scrappy OT, Petey and Brock get their own gritty scrappiness down low. Looks like they've lost possession and Forsberg blows the zone. But sneaky Pete out-competes ROR and knocks the puck over to Brock who puts a sneaky backhand past Sorrows. Woooo!
What a beastly play by Boeser and Pettersson to win the puck back after losing that offensive zone faceoff. And then the clinical finish by Boeser. #Canucks
— Daniel Wagner (@passittobulis.bsky.social) November 3, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Nucks beat the official-powered Preds 5-4 in the last second of OT. WOOOOO!!!!!
OBSERVATIONS:
Canucks got jobbed a few times, but overcame home-ref advantage with timely goals from Brock. And Kane. Not everyone was cheering for Kane. Was anyone?
Despite evander Kane's best efforts the canucks win #Canucks
— thegreatdandino (@thegreatdandino.bsky.social) November 3, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Sherwood's goal drought extends to 2 games. When will it end? O'Connor hasn't scored since last game.
Willander is making his case to find an apartment in Vancouver. Please don't trade him.
Great to see Brock pot 2 goals. As well, despite the awkwardness, Nucks PP got 2. Sort of. Kane's goals count. This time.
What a relief to have Huggie back on the ice. He controls the game. Going to be tough watching him control the game in a Jersey jersey.
Death, taxes and Brock boeser with last second goals in Nashville lol #Canucks

A win for the Nucks and no points/players for the Faeries!

— LesnielBC 🇨🇦 (@lesnielbc.bsky.social) November 3, 2025 at 8:40 PM
#Canucks Stars vs Predators 1. Boeser. Brockstar with a Gordie Howe low trajectory backhand. 2. EP40. Looked like an impassioned hockey player on the winning goal. 3. N/A Game Note: Demko needs to channel his inner Patrick Roy in the 3rd period.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Commanding Nucks win, kind of - with Shortie and Dave giving out the road coverage.
Scrambly OT, but beautifully poetic ending!
GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
Willander turning smooth skating into a short, smooth presser.
Kane scores and gets a presser that counts.
Footey is all over the presser. And the refs.
Nucks dominated the Preds, not the refs. Nucks PK is still needing more dominance.
Nucks have climbed back on top of Mount 500. That's a relief. Home to the ROG on Wednesday for a mini-home stand. Hopefully with even more relief in the form of Faeries returning captives and Nucks getting more wins.
Good News... Nucks didn't lose a player
Bad news... lost the game.
We knew the depleted Nucks can't win them all on the road. Turns out, Demmers is human or his glove is sub-standard and can let in a couple softies.
Nucks started well. Not as well as the more desperate team who had just lost 5 straight.
Late in the period Nucks do the stupid thing against a very motivated team.
Take stupid penalties, give up stupid goals.
-- Twitch
1-0 Wild after 1. That's not so bad.
In the 2nd, we finally watch EP40 score. Just kidding. He hasn't even had a shot on net yet. But O'Connor gets his 1st of the season. Yay!
1-1 for 10 minutes. Then the player the Nucks almost traded for scored to make it 2-1 Wild after 2.
In the 3rd, with Nucks unable to score and give Demmers a margin to play with, gave up 2 softies in a row. We want to believe it was a glove malfunction. 4-1 Wild.
And then while the faint hope was fading faintly, the Nucks win a draw in the O-zone clean and O'Connor whips the puck into the net while most, including the broadcast crew, were filling time and shuffling around. 4-2 Wild.
Cue the comeback. Or in this case miscue the comeback.
In the final 3 minutes, with Demmers on bench saying unpleasant things to his glove, EP40 finally took his 1st shot of the game. Of course it was stopped and the rebound goes to a Wild one who dispatches the puck into the empty Nucking net.
There it is. 1 game, 1 shot for EP40. #Canucks quota rules are strict.
— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) November 1, 2025 at 6:46 PM
The Abby Nucks lose 5-2 in Minni.
Thoughtfully, as is Nucks tradition, broke the Wild's 5 game L-streak.
OBSERVATIONS:
Since game 3 the Nucks PK is running at 61%. Ouch! Many players are broken and so is the PK coverage.
Worse, the Nucks PP had 3 chances to score on the worst PK in the league. And didn't.
Yes, they're missing Huggie. And Petey. And Bess.
While it was great to see O'Connor pot a couple, the top line was all minus - the PP was a waste of ice.
At least Willander is looking good. Such poise and smooth skating under pressure. Joseph wasn't. Myers is getting too much ice time and it's showing. The Faeries need to return at least half of the hostages. Soon.
Arshdeep Bains needs to bring energy, not suck it away by taking consecutive shitty penalties. C’mon man, EARN that roster spot while half the team is injured. #Canucks

Räty winning faceoffs and a road presser.
O'Connor getting goals and pressers.
Footey giving up middle ice in a presser.
An expected loss by the Abby Canucks, That's not so bad. It just feels that way.
Onto Tune Town - weren't we just there? Anyhow, rumour is Huggie could be ready to play and score a hattie. Maybe.
Good News... Kief Scores a Hattie In The Win! (all 3 count)
Bad news... lost another player...
Good news for #Canucks! Lead the league with the most players on the IR list with 8. Bad news: Lead the league with players on loan to the Faeries. No need to pad our lead, k?
— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) October 30, 2025 at 4:59 PM
33 seconds into this game, BC Faeries padded our IR stats - as D-Petey took a slapshot, or rather Brock took D-Petey's slapshot to the groin. Ouch! Had to be helped off the ice and didn't return. Greedy Faeries. Very greedy.
Junior just shattered boeser's nuts... that hurt to watch.
-- Twitch
Worse, while the Nucks were wondering which one of them would be hit by friendly Faery fire, the Blues score 5-hole on Lanky who wasn't ready. Yet.
Doesn't matter. Even if we thought it might. Nucks get a PP and Connor McSherwood scores a greasy PP goal on an equally-not ready goalie.
1-1 after 1. Nucks still in the game despite, you know, down another player.
Unfortunately... Nucks PK gets Snugger'd in the 1st minute of the 2nd. 2-1 Blues.
Not to make a habit of it, but this Blues lead as well doesn't matter.
Mid-period, just when the Blues thought they controlled the game and the zone entry, M-Petey and O'Connor sprang Kief for a breakaway. Sherwood deked Beenington to score a backhand beauty.
2-2 after 2. Gutsy effort to still be in the game as the Nucks were outshot 11-4 in the period. Actually Blues had 7 shots before Sherwood had the Nucks 1st shot of the period.
Nucks start the 3rd on the PK and finish it without the bad thing happening.
And then as almost as the hockey gawds drew it up, Nucks break into the Blues zone, and R2 breaks his stick while shooting. Puck squirts back to Sherwood who shoots an invisible laser bar down past a stunned Beatenton.
KEIFER HOWE!!!! HATTIE!
-- Twitch
THREEFER FOR KEIFER!!!!!!!!!!!! #Canucks
— Ryan avgtraveller (@viewfromtherog.bsky.social) October 30, 2025 at 7:07 PM
3-2 Nucks mid-3rd. Just as our faint hopes of escaping St. Louis with 2 points, Blues get a PP. And worse... the Blues PP goal was scored by our very own, Suter. Well... he was ours until the braintrust at Nucks Central Command let him slip away.
Suter comes back to haunt us. Gonne need one more from Keif.
-- Ripper
Know another recent Nucks player who had a hattie against the Blues? Yup, Suter.
Anyhow the game moves on. Faster and faster. Scary and scarier for the roster-challenged Nucks.
And suddenly the impossible happens. Kane scores!
Or does he? Blues protest about goalie interference and the refs make the crowd-friendly call - no goal. Because local reasons.
We don't care. Another chance at getting our 1st loser point of the season isn't so bad.
Looooooooooooser point!

OT
Here's the thing. Some astute hockey analyst commented on the sneaky Lanky strategy.

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) October 30, 2025 at 7:42 PM
And despite not getting a shot on goal, the leftover Canucks keep the OT plan intact. Get it to the shootout and let Lanky beat the Blues, one by one.
And he did.

Lanky's time to shine #Canucks
— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) October 30, 2025 at 7:50 PM
In the 1st round Lanky stopped all the Blues shooters. Whinington stopped all the Nucks shooters, but one. No, it wasn't Kief, it was Jake DeBrusk with DeWinner!

— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) October 30, 2025 at 7:53 PM
OBSERVATIONS:
Another gutsy effort from the leftover Nucks roster and their farmhands.
Bit of a shame to give the loser point to a direct rival, but I'll take that win! Lankinen earning his keep in the Skills Competition, but that's one reason why he was signed.
-- Thursday
Standouts in the game:
Everyone! Great team effort. Even Kane (almost) got on the board and didn't take a stupid penalty.
And Kief is tied for the league lead in goals. Let that and his 10 million dollar contract sink in.
I think it's fair to say that Kiefer Sherwood is a heart and soul player for the #Canucks

GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
DeBrusk getting the GWG and a road presser.
O'Connor hanging in there.
Footey loving his resilient team. While there's still players on it.
Incredible gritty, never give-up performance from this decimated roster.
Canucks are back on the 500 wagon. And looking to move up a level on Saturday in Minni. Go Coconuts!
Faery News... Gnarly playing for the IR team.
Bad news... Lose 2-Nothing to the worst team in the east.
Garland not on the bench... fucking faeries... they're killing us this season.
-- Twitch
With a depleted roster and tired AHL callups, Footey decided to bag skate the team to prep for this exhausting game. Great prep work, coach!
The return of the JT to face Petey buildup was a nothing burger. Because the Nucks were too exhausted to care? Or the Rags too old and slow to care?
Wow! The #canucks players despised JT Miller so much they didn’t even bother showing up for his return to Vancouver!
— Dave Noordam (@davenoordam.bsky.social) October 28, 2025 at 9:33 PM
Nucks got stifled by the old and slow Rags... and worse, got scored on after some keystone kops play from some old and young Nucks.
Rags lead 1-0 after 1. In this dull game, it was the safest lead in hockey.
In the 2nd, Nucks put on a not-that-entertaining puck bobbling exhibition. Couldn't buy a clean pass, never mind a clean shot on the Rags old goalie.
2nd period summary... Nucks playing keystone kops puck giveaway scrambly nucking discombobulated hockey.
-- jimmi
In the 3rd, the Nucks continue to look more tired and less determined than the raggedly ragged Rags.
And worse, the Nucks have lost their sparkplug. Gnarly didn't return after getting injured by a goon sponsored by BC Faeries. At least Brock was back on the bench after getting his face stitched up from the Nucks PP, whose best deflection hit Brock in the mouth. It was that kind of game.
In the final few minutes the Nucks go on the PP without a goal, then 6-on-5 without a goal, but the EN against.
Nucks lose a low energy game 2-zip to a low energy team. Not Demmer's fault. Again, he was brilliant, unlike his teammates.
And worse... the SO goes to the Nucks' nemesis since the beginning of the century, possibly the previous century, Jonathan 'Ageless' Quick.
OBSERVATIONS:
Demko was great! Willander looked good. Without Gnarly in the 3rd, Nucks looked like their energy left the ice as well.
Kane was playing like expected. Drew a penalty, took an O-zone penalty, did get a shot on goal and, as expected was on the ice for both goals against. If only the Faeries were attracted to stupid.
Am I awful for hoping that Kane gets injured and goes on LTIR so the #Canucks can use his cap hit more… effectively?

This was a game the Nucks really, really missed Huggie. Ronnie was good at the start, but by the late 3rd after 28 minutes or so, he was all exhaustion and brainfarts - sending a pass far, far up the ice on the Nucks PP - not a stretch pass, just a silly icing.

The best way to describe the #Canucks right now is frustrating. The amount of injuries they are dealing with is wild. While there are a couple reason's why they lost tonight, missing seven players plus Garland 100% played a factor in this game.
— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) October 28, 2025 at 9:45 PM

GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
Demmer gets the mic-light for his near SO.
Sherwood explains why he declined getting a hattie.
Footey explains why the Nucks were as flat as his nose.
Terrible team game - what's left of the team. Horrible news about Gnarly.
And it doesn't matter, because the NHL is death-marching the AHL Nucks through the compressed Olympic schedule grinder.
Nucks are back on the road to face the Blues on Thursday. Will the Faeries relinquish one of our 8 by then? We can hope.
Good News... Kief Scores a Hattie In The Win! (only 2 count)
Bad news... lost a couple more players...
...Why is Hughes showing up as out for the game?
WHY IS HUGHES SHOWING UP AS OUT FOR THE GAME?!?
-- Thursday
BC Faeries called him onboard before the game started. Time for the team step up and play like a team.
And they did. Right out of the gate Nucks were taking it to the Oil. Not giving them time and space. Nucks were jumping on turnovers and intercepting passes. M-Petey picked off a pass and sends it up to Kane, who pulled a nice move and put a pass over to Brock who beat Pickturd 5-hole.
Nucks lead 1-0 after 1.
In the 2nd, Nucks get on an early PP... and there might have been questions.
Okay, let's see what a power play without Huggie looks like.
-- Thursday
Looked pretty good as Petey blasts a laser past Pickarf. Nucks lead 2-0 early 2nd. No, really.
And Nucks kept pushing. Especially the Buzzsaw duo of Sherwood and O'Connor. Fast and furious. They break into the Oil zone and Sherwood shoots and scores. 3-0 Nucks.
Unfortunately... it was called back for the offside on Myers, even tho Myers was on his right side, he was too advanced to be the trailer. Dang!
Of course can't stop the crysaddle in every game. He gets his 6th goal in 10 games... So greedy. 2-1 Nucks.
Until... the buzzsaw line gets their buzz on again. D-Petey passes to Brock who passes to Sherwood who buzzes and dekes the stunned Oil D and pots his 2nd goal on Pickonard.
3-1 Nucks after 2. I know, it's the safest lead in hockey. Until it isn't. Especially when you're down a D call up as Mancini was hurt in the 2nd and didn't return.
Early 3rd, new Oily forward, Roslovic, allegedly a summer Nucks option, scored with a wicked shot. 3-2 Nucks.
Nucks are keeping the Oil at bay. D-Petey crushed crysaddle and EP40 was playing hard on McD. Maybe we win in the reg. Maybe. Or maybe not.
Late in the period, M-Petey gets called for breaking an obviously defective stick used by Maggiepannie. And the Oil score on their PP and we're tied. Tied up in knots with 3 knots a piece.
We don't care. Getting our 1st loser point of the season isn't so bad.
OT
Nucks want more than a single miserable point.
Since the Nucks D is too tired skate anymore, Footey goes all offensive with 3 forwards.
Sherwood is playing defense, Gnarly and Bess are going forward, but Sherwood is suddenly at the net tipping the puck past Pickerfart for the hattie!
#Canucks I can not believe Sherwood’s OT goal. 3 forwards, Sherwood playing point, then on same shift Sherwood tips in from front of net. Really!! It happened.

WOOOOOOOO! #Canucks almost get their 1st loser point of the season... but Kief wants more! And so do we!

OBSERVATIONS:
Most anticipated Nucks stat:
All three Petterssons have a point tonight, but still waiting for it to happen on the same play.
-- Thursday
Standouts in the game:
Everyone! Great team effort. Even Kane got on the board, the scoreboard.
Winning hockey is a team game after all. Even if Myers got over-played and was targeted for chaos by Oiled forwards all game.
So impressed with the #Canucks, tonight. They absolutely exceeded my (admittedly depressive) expectations! 😃

#Canucks Stars vs Oilers 1. Keifer Sherwood wow. Non stop excitement thru all 4 periods 2. Boeser. I think he fed off the first stars blazing energy. 3. Hronek. 28 minutes. Plus numbers against 97 and 27.

Great to watch this win... but it's the slimy oil homers on colour... so...
Finally get some Shortie and Dave OT time FTW!
GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
Sherwood scores 3 times including the game winner.
Petey happier with his points tonight than last night.
Footey playing 3D chess it OT... or his D-pleted defenders were too tired for OT.
Wow! Hard fought game, Nucks reward the ROG fans (and those of us outside the ROG) with a badly needed win. Your Vancouver Canucks are now proudly a 500 team! How fair and balanced is that.
But we all want more. And could get more from the ragged Rags on Tuesday when JT and his new (old) team are in the ROG.
Enjoy a better Monday than we could hope for.
Good News... This New Home Road Trip Is Almost Over!
Bad news... lose another road game - this time at home.
The one thing I miss about David Pratt was his complaining about early starts to accomodate the east.
-- Ripper
This ROG road game had a pretty good start. Despite starting before dinner.
EP40 was fired up and making plays. Nucks get on the board early with a smart play from Petey, from Ronnie to Petey, to scoring in wide open net. Sweet!
Nucks lead 1-0 after 1. Outshot the Habs 11-4 and dominated the game.
The ROG road got even better in the 2nd as... not making this up... as the Nucks PP scored a goal! No, really. Sure, they just about gave up a shortie, but on re-entry, Huggie fires a shot that gets deflected by DeBrusk and it's 2-nothing Nucks!
And thus ends the wonderful road game part of the program. It's still a road game for the Habs, despite having more fans in the ROG than the Nucks did.
Unfortunately, because of the Conservation Laws of Special Scoring, the Nucks PK gives up a goal since the Nucks PP scored one.
2-1 after 2... however, in that last seconds of the 2nd, R2 takes a tripping call, so Montreal starts the 3rd on the PP.
And because of Nucks PK's bad bounce confusion, Habs score another PP goal and the game is tied.
The Habs untie the game thanks to the momentum-killing play of Kane. Scored just after the Kane penalty expired - yes, he took a really stupid penalty in the O-zone, because that's why they hired him - for stupid plays at bad times.
Way to go kane... stupid penalty by a stupid guy. And the shittiness of him to complain about it the whole way to the box.
-- Twitch
Anyhow... after his penalty expired, Montreal is getting their fans, their mojo going, they score to lead 3-2.
And score again to lead 4-2.
With 4 minutes to go, Footy pulls Lanky and the Nucks get their own (sorta) PP. Petey slaps a hard slap pass onto Gnarly's stick and the deficit is only one goal. Yay!
And then the Nucks press again. This time with Kane on the ice. It doesn't go well. Finally, Kane is off the ice and the actual skilled players press again for the EQlizer... and Nucks get close, but for Bess whiffing on his shot.
Nucks give up a 2 goal lead and lose 4-3 in the road ROG to Montreal. Mon Dieu!
OBSERVATIONS:
Standouts in the game:
EP40 was channeling his inner Alien - got a goal and 2 assists.
#Canucks EP40 looks like a player I could cheer for, if he let someone else take face offs.
— JDavid (@jdavidh.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Petey finally puts together a classic Alien performance, only for the rest of the team to collapse around him. Experience #Canucks hockey.
— Lachlan Irvine (@lachinthecrease.com) October 25, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Kane did not score, did nothing but hurt the team. And now we're seeing what the coaches cannot - for possibly FBI-related reasons?
Get Evander Kane off my hockey team. Bad penalty taking, MAGA loving, wife beating, vaccine faking, gambling addict-y, bad hockey playing POS. I'd take a bag of pucks for him but I feel that's too high a price to expect. #Canucks
— BoestMode (@boestmode.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 6:38 PM
The Sky is angry... not without reason.
#Canucks have to start benching players taking stupid penalties or penalties in the offensive zone. Can’t keep giving opposing teams momentum or freebies on the PP.
— Ralph In The Ridge🇨🇦 (@ralphintheridge.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 7:09 PM
Kane’s penalty was dumb. When he first came here I thought he would be ok because he really wanted to be here. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but now I’m done hoping he’ll contribute in any meaningful way
— Ralph In The Ridge🇨🇦 (@ralphintheridge.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 7:31 PM
He was a big part of the Oilers losing the Finals last year so I liked him for that. Had hoped he would score goals and be a physical presence but he has been useless. Foote needs to stop putting him out when the game is on the line.
— DJTaxman77 (@hugheshart43.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 7:44 PM
Could be worse... we could start taking it out on the coaches...
I don’t think this game is on Foote, but there needs to be a discussion of this “system” #Canucks
— W. Ron Sweeney (@wronsweeney.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 6:39 PM

"System?" I keep hearing people using this word, but looking at the generally ineffective clusterfuck that I've seen from the #canucks this year, I do not think that word means what they think it means.
— Vern Faulkner (Part owner of Canada) (@vernfaulkner.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 6:42 PM
Yeah, I think that’s part of what is hurting Quinn Hughes
— W. Ron Sweeney (@wronsweeney.bsky.social) October 25, 2025 at 6:53 PM
And do we need to worry about Lanky yet? Has 1W and 3L and those losses weren't all on him. However, it could be that Demmers will have to play more games this season than are ideal.
How was the new kid?
Reichel looked pretty good having just been dropped into the Canucks Chaos line. Of course, being on a line with Kane meant he was on the ice for 2 goals against.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
Mark your calendar. John and Dave calling a Saturday HNIC game. Thanks B-jays.
GAME STATS
COMMENTING OUT LOUD
Petey plays a good game, gets a loss and a presser.
Reichel gets a call, a flight, a game and a presser.
Footey out-chancing the Van media. Small victories.
It's over. No time to mutter about what coulda woulda shoulda, because the road ROG gets bumpier tomorrow. At least it's possibly an actual home game in the evening - against the tOilers who lost to the Krak tonight.
Enjoy a weekend of fun-filled Nucking hockey.
More Good News... This Horrid Road Trip Is Over!
Bad news... lose an easily won game... if only for special teams at special times.
26 powerplays and no goals....nice job
-- Westy
Perhaps this was a less terrible loss than the previous one. Perhaps.
Didn't get blown out on the scorecard. Didn't go 0-For-5 on the PP and give up a shortie. Oh wait. Nucks did. Of course they did.
Nucks started slow and managed to keep up that pace while getting outshot 12-5 in the 1st. Outshot 12-5 including nearly 10 minutes of special PP time.
Our PP looks very robotic. No urgency. It feels like no one wants to be on this team other than Demko and Boeser. Does anyone look like they are enjoying playing hockey? I thought Miller was the problem with this group? The refs are gonna be evening things up the next 2 periods. #Canucks
— DJTaxman77 (@hugheshart43.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 5:55 PM
And the refs did... but not before the disinterested Nucks PP gave up a shortie early in the 2nd.
Canucks continue to suck on the PP....then give up a goal
-- Westy
However, the Calder Cup line missed the memo about tanking to free the Yukon or something, got the Nucks on the board, Karlson stretch pass to the speedy Sassonator who spun, sped and scored 5-hole on Soros.
The Max Sasson 8-year extension on July 1 with the #Canucks is gonna hit different
— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Thus far, in fewer games, Max has more goals than EP40... that can make a Nucks fan's mind wander...
For a second, I allowed myself to imagine a #Canucks rebuild with ten Max Sassons. #sigh
— CrankyCanucksFan (@crankycanucksfan.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 6:31 PM
1-1 tie after 2. In the 3rd, Nucks could take this game - or a loser point - if not for a trickling puck across the line behind Demmers that M-Petey almost de-trickled.
Possibly the most boring goal of the season... and worse, most boring GWG against of the road trip.
However, less than 8 minutes remaining in the game, a small miracle happens. EP40 got his 1st shot on goal. Yay!
Also... it was his last shot on goal.
Of course, Footey pulls Demmers for the extra attacker warm body in the last couple minutes. Which at least doesn't result in the EN for the bored home fans.
A very winnable road game lost. At least we're through losing our dinners and minds... until the weekend.
OBSERVATIONS:
Some might be wondering if this freshly fragile Nucks roster can recover to play competitive pro hockey, either sooner or sometime much later.
#Canucks have scored three goals in eight periods since Filip Chytil got hurt. Not good.
— Noah Strang (@noahstrang.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 7:34 PM
And the guy who got only 12mins tonight has 1 of them, plus has 3x the no. 11.6 has, plus is only 1 off team lead, despite starting in Abby...only 1 was scored by someone making more than $2m
— Perry DeNure (@coachdenure.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 8:02 PM
Still, there's some faint hope left in a dark corner outside Abby.
The ENTIRE team was absolutely horrible tonight outside of the Abby kids. This coaching hire was laughed at from the jump. Not a single player looked like they knew what they were doing. A bunch of guys trying to make individual plays. Fire everyone. #Canucks fans deserve better. #selltheteam
— juicemonkey89.bsky.social (@juicemonkey89.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Could be worse...
Yeah, a desperation move will be required by the #Canucks and soon. Otherwise every sports radio show will be spending 2026 workshopping Hughes trades and discussing a Pettersson buyout. #McKennaTime
— W. Ron Sweeney (@wronsweeney.bsky.social) October 23, 2025 at 8:02 PM
Unless the Nucks PP decide on their own to get 'powerful' can we expect a PP coaching change? Because it looks like a group of uncoached individuals trying to find something...
Or is this just a roster depletion problem and Footy needn't worry. But PA/JR do.

COMMENTING OUT LOUD
Max gets a presser in a loss... fun job.
Huggie waiting to go home... sweet home New Jersey?
Footey putting more pucks on the net behind our weak hopes.
It's over. Hellish road trip is over. Although it would have been a little less hellish with a better PP. Lots of room for improvement.
No rest for the road weary... Nucks are home to host Le Habs on Saturday and Oil on Sunday. Home for a B-2-B!
More Good News... Another Arty Party! Oh wait...
Bad news... Arty party in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong team.
Those injury fairies are really getting fat before hibernation
-- Westy
No Brock, No Filip, No Teddy, No Lekky, No Winny.
Yes, it was a terrible loss. Although it didn't start that way. In fact it started with a shot of false hope as former-fan-fav and fascist-state supporter took a pass from EP40 and scored on Arty barely a minute in. No, not Kane, the other one in the photo op, Garland.
Nucks led for nearly 10 minutes and might have extended their lead... before the Pens tie. 1-1 after 1.
In the 2nd, Nucks preserve the tie for almost 15 minutes. Then the wheels fell off the Nucks road game 3 wheeler.
Pens scored 3 unanswered goals in about 3 dismaying minutes. Pens lead 4-1 after 2. Outshot the Nucks 14-3 in the most disgusting period since the other disgusting period.
jeez...complete collapse.
-- Twitch
On the SO CANUCKS front, Sid's goal pushed him past Lemieux for the all-time points record on the Pens. You're welcome, Sid... BTW, we're looking for a good veteran center. Have your agent call JR now. Or at least answer JR's calls.
In the final disappointing period, Nucks only gave up a single goal. Lose the game 5-1, and the dream of a road sweep through the eastern gulags of hockey.
Woulda been nice to see lankinen make a couple more saves...
-- Twitch
Not an unexpected loss, according the experts across, in or under the Nucking nation. But still...
looks like Demko might be playing 60+ games this year
-- Ripper
Some bright spots? Only with a rink lighting malfunction.
OBSERVATIONS:
It would have been better if this was a tight closely fought game, all game. Especially with the special teams. It wasn't. Nucks PK, sans Teddy and Demmers gave up 2 goals. The Nucks PP played 6 minutes of futile time going zippety-do-dah for 3. Petey was winning faceoffs at a 24% rate. Uncertain if that rate is a winning one.
But still... must be something [excuses] something we can enjoy...
We had 8 guys tonight playing for the #Canucks who could just as easily be playing in Abby. Well EP25 is probably above Abby. PO Joseph is not. Debrusk invisible. Kane couldn't finish. No offense from our bottom 4 D. Throw this game in the trash. At least we didn't waste a Demko start on this loss.
— DJTaxman77 (@hugheshart43.bsky.social) October 21, 2025 at 6:53 PM
And there is some sunshine at dinner time.
I still stand by this comment after the final horn. It was a terrible result, but I still feel like the #Canucks gave it what they had left to give. I put this loss squarely on the management.
— ’Leigh (@technicalleigh.bsky.social) October 21, 2025 at 7:02 PM

Aha! It's a management problem. Problem solved. If it's not a management problem then it's the DNS. It's always the DNS. Ooops. Wrong failure mode. Never mind.
Then again we might see Huggie getting a new job.
Game started with Petey and Garland looking great. The Calder line was good. Bains looked confident with the puck. Karlsson was going to the net. 2nd half not sure what happened. Refs were bad and I guess killed the flow of our game. All lines had problems. Quinn is gonna be centre soon #Canucks
— DJTaxman77 (@hugheshart43.bsky.social) October 21, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Also, the NHL sadistic schedulers had their filthy fingers on this as well.
Canucks on a road trip that began with a fucking back to back that made them fly from Dallas to Chicago and then made them play a game at 9 in the morning 2 days after that I think they're just fucking wiped. #Canucks

Gnarly gets a goal, a presser and no fascist photo op.
Petey thinking thoughts about not letting games slip away.
Footey talking about talking about something else... if only for gas consumption rate.
Finally an expected loss on this hellish road trip. Although it would have been a little less hellish with some better PK/PP specialness.
No rest for the exhausted as the Nucks are going to Tune Town for, thankfully, the final game of this road trip.
Do they have enough left in the tank and enough AHL callups to win or pickup a loser point? Maybe. Maybe not.
More Good News... Nucks are a gritty road team!
Bad news... running out of forwards.
Tired Canucks tired of giving up a couple in the 1st, turned the breakfast table on the Caps. At a cost.
What if I told you the Nucks were up 3-zip after 1 and 4-0 early in the 2nd? Yeah... wouldn't believe it either.
Doesn't matter.
What matters is Petey scores his 1st of the season a minute into the 1st after a determined Nucks forecheck.
PETEY!!!! First of the season!!
-- Twitch
Nucks are just getting started.
Chytil (who we will worry about later) drives the net. Linnygrinny can't coral the puck, net front chaos ensues - professional, multi-millionaire hockey players drop to the ice in a game of high stakes twister. Despite all the highly-paid bodies flailing about, puck squirts out to Myers - who shoots it over the sprawling millionaires into the net. His 100th NHL goal. Chaos thriving in chaos.
Nucks aren't finished. Can't take a 3-nothing lead into the 1st inter without scoring another.
Sherwood - taking Brock's spot in the lineup - because why not start the game down a forward? Anyhow, Sherwood is on the 1st unit and gets the PP goal to almost seal the game... except...
It's later. Wilson puts a 'clean' late hit on Filip. And he's out of the game.
Wow tom wilson is a piece of shit. Blatant head hunting on Chytil of all people. Major penalty. Dirty ass move. And the fucking refs called it a good hockey play. Was at least a half second late. Someone needs to take out ovi.
-- Twitch
#Canucks' Filip Chytil left the game in the first period after absorbing a heavy blindside hit by Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals. Here's the latest: theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Since hockey is traditionally a blood sport, most Nucks fans wanted instant retribution on Thug Wilson. But who could take on Bruteson and send a thick-fisted message? Most wanted Kane to fight Wilson. Win or lose.
This is a major test for the Nucks. Can Kane survive a Wilson fight?
-- Ripper
Either outcome, the canucks win... we either make wilson pay, or we get to play without kane for a while.
-- Twitch
Others... probably a wimpy minority want the blood sport league to deal with attempted career-ending dirty hits... and thus the Cheapshot Hockey League will continue its violence on ice marketing appeal.
Looks like a really good rec, I’ll add it to my reading list — thanks! As pissed as I am at Wilson, I can’t join the chorus of #Canucks fans wanting retribution… Jeremy Allingham’s book _Major Misconduct_ is the reason. The human cost is just too high. www.indigo.ca/en-ca/major-...

Nucks escape the 1st with a 3 goal lead and down 3 forwards. Fair trade?
Brock didn't dress. Filip is out and so is Lekky after a painful crunch on the boards.
In the 2nd, Teddy pots a goal after some sloppy Cappy turnyovery play in their own end. Assist from Kane, which doesn't count because he didn't fight Wilson. Also for other more disturbing reasons...

The Caps come back to score a goal, because under-manned reasons. 4-1 Nucks after 2.
Nucks start the 3rd with 10 healthy forwards and give up 2 goals. Leave the 3rd with 9 as Teddy left the game as well. Nucks be calling Call-Up Central stat.
Regardless, Nucks beat the dirty filthy Crappers 4-3 in a gutsy win. Woooo!
Way too much action and carnage for a freakin' Sunday morning game, which according to sportynet's scoreboard never happened.
Hours later, sportynet confirms game didn't happen. But at least we're picking up apparently fake points over tOilers.
OBSERVATIONS:
Impressive win under the worst circumstances. Have won all 3 road games - games set up by the NHL schedulers and their bookies to be guaranteed losses.
Gutsy effort by the #Canucks who beat the Capitals despite finishing the game with just nine forwards (Chyti, Lekkerimäk and Blueger did not finish the game). Vancouver is now 3-0-0 on the road trip.
— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) October 19, 2025 at 12:16 PM
Wait what?!
Vancouver going in to Pittsburgh tomorrow and coming out with another centre. Heck, at this point I'd take Heinen back.
-- Thursday
Fortunately, no playing until Tuesday. Plenty of time to draft, develop and deploy a new 2C, trade for a 3C and get plenty of practice time in.
EP40 played like a 1C. Was a difference maker in the game. Scored 1st in the 1st and blocked sure goals in the 3rd. Definitely earned his 9.5M today.
WE WIN… F U CAPS> EP40 played what.. all but 15 seconds of the last 3 minutes and I think won every faceoff in that time. Nice.
SWEET CRAZY VICTORY!!!

Demmers brought his A game and needed to.
Footey almost had to strap 'em on and go out and level Wilson... but didn't.
Huge gutsy win on the road against a shitty dirty team - Nucks leave another crime-ridden war zone with a win and get a recoup day before playing in Pitts.
Enjoy the bittersweet victory. Maybe Sid will switch jerseys for one game.
Until then... let's decide this democratically, with an internet poll!
