Come For The Banter - Stay For The Disappointment
Nucks Fan Rebuild & Retool Center - Come For The Banter - Stay For The Disappointment
Losing Streak. 4 straight. That's not so bad. Not great either.
Nucks got behind early. And late. And in the middle.
First... some good news.
Nucks won't play in Winterpeg the rest of the year.
At least Bessie scored so Nucks only lost 6-2. Less embarrassing.
Thanks for reading!
Game didn't start well for the Canucks. Ended worse.
At least Ohgie is tearing up the scoresheet. With stealth moves.
1st period ends with a 3-1 Jets lead. That's just for starters.
In the 2nd, well... it was a 2nd period in the Peg. Nucks didn't score. Jets scored 2.
Nucks went down 5-1 to the 3rd. Nice comeback narrative could develop from that.
It didn't.
Instead, more dubious defending from the Nucks puts the Jets up 6-1.
Buium is the only + player on the team and has played over 20min in the game so far.
Hronek -4
Cotter -3
Pettersson(s) both -2
Boeser even
-- Petrishriekandgo on bluesky
Canucks didn't want to start the comeback too soon.
Instead they chose too late. Some great board work from Quillian to set up Brock for the almost, but not really close to the tying goal.
But still... think of the fans...
Canucks lose, as they always do in Winterpeg. This time only 6-2.
HEY HEY! Boeser gets his!
Quillan is definitely keeping his spot on the big club, I think!
-- Thursday
And in the final 3 minutes Nucks PK killed off a full 2 minutes of PK time. Not making it up.

But for iffy reffy Nucks might have won. Nucks PK would still have lost.
First... some good news.
It was an entertaining game... pretty much to the end.
Could have gone either way... and almost did.
Thanks for reading!
NOTE: Short non-recap recap due to having to catch up with contests in elections and lakes of America.
Game didn't start badly. Didn't end horribly.
Two guys in that need a boost: Rossi and Lankinen. Put on a good showing tonight, guys!
-- Thursday
Rossi got a primary on the PP. And Leakinen upped his SV% to .773 from 750, so that's progress.
Ducks got 2 goals in the 1st. Nucks got 2 goals in the 1st and Ducks only got 1 goal.
Because Ohgie scored twice... but didn't.
Because it's a Nucks stick lift, it's a penalty and because it's the Ducks 34% effective PP and Nucks PK, it's a Duckie goal.
Another weak call against. Bah!
-- Thursday
And another Ducking PP goal.... FFS!
-- jimmi
In the 2nd, well... it was a 2nd period in the ROG. Nucks PP gave up a shortie. Nucks PK gave up a goal. How special. Karlsson scored, so that was good.
Nucks went down 5-2 early in the 3rd, so that set the ice for...
Jake to score on the PP. And scored again. As the Rig's shot grazed him to make 5-4.
Flashbacks to last week's comeback win in Disneyland was not to be in Lotus Land on Dawali Night in the ROG.
Canucks didn't just fight back on the scoreboard. They fought the fights too.
Cotter and Oleksiak had fights too.
Nucks also scored before/during a fight... so confusing.
Ah, dang!
Big pushback, but another loss. Special teams and that accursed second period ended the game for them.
-- Thursday
On the bright side... basement is secured again. Thanks, Lankx
Still entertaining game with strategic result. That's good.

Losing Streak. 2 straight. That's not so bad.
It's the Rogers Home Team - with their own (home) road TV crew. That's bad.
First... some good news.
Canucks won the special teams. Went 1 for 4 on the PP and 2 for 2 on the PK.
For those watching at home on the sportynet broadcast, our apologies. On CoTU Saturday games, only the CoTU crew can be on-air. 🤮
Thanks for reading!
Game didn't start badly.
Until the 1st minute passed and old man, Oleksiak, went off the rails? The game? Don't know. Seems like he developed a sudden puck allergy as the puck approached him and passed him by. As did Nylander, who not being puck-adverse, took it and skated in on Merri to score.
WTF kind of defensive play was that Oleksiak? "Oh there's the puck, maybe i'll go the other way."
-- Twitch
On the bright side, when we still believed the Nucks could play to win, Petey got a call. Nucks got a PP. Didn't score. Petey drew another penalty. EP40 was drawing calls like plebs offered free parking coupons at the ROG.
On this PP, Nucks scored. With the old sneaky non-drop-pass play. Unseen in Nucks PP history. Instead, Ronnie sent the puck forwards to Brock, who skated in alone for the PP breakaway goal. Woo!
Even better, although at the time seemed worse, DOC took a penalty. No big. But then the Rig took a penalty while on the PK. Which isn't the best tactic, but when you're having a puck allergy maybe being in the box is best.
OK he made it. Oleksiak is my "Canucks Dman who pisses me off" this season. I mean I was kinda thinking it three games back, but he's cemented it now.
-- Twitch
Amazingly, one of the worst PKs in the league killed off the 5-on-3 and 5-on-4 because it's a team game, even if the team is 3 players and a shell-shocked goalie.
In the 2nd, I missed it. For nutritional and sanity reasons.
Turns out that was the right call as the Nucks were setting up for lots of fluster. Fluster is like bluster, but for introverts on ice.
According to the NHL and especially the CoTU on-air crew, the greatest stache in the game scored at an impossible angle. And then later Merri let in an easy rebound from the blueline. Except it wasn't that easy for Schenny who had it rebound off his back and into the net.
3-1 CoTU after 2 just as Rogers HNIC drew it up.
In the 3rd, the Nucks tried to fight for a mighty comeback. Which took almost half the period for the almost tying goal to be scored. A Sassy goal at that. With assist to Gally. Hard working 4th line.
WOOOO SASSY!
-- Twitch
The Canucks fourth line doing yeoman's work tonight!
-- Thursday
Then a pivotal moment occurred. It was pivotal because Cotter was pivoting away from his check breaking in on goal and was tripped.
Nucks on the PP again. DeBrusk had a great chance to deflect the puck into the goal for the tying goal and as it turned out, deflected it into the goalie.
Since the Nucks didn't score on the PP, Manny had to wait until the legally appointed time to pull the goalie and go for the Footie.
And who better to score the Footie than our good old Teddy. Thanks Teddy. We used to remember you fondly.
Nucks lose in the CoTU's other home rink 4-2. Not a terrible loss, other than it was to the CoTU, so they're all terrible and worse...
Dang. Not the result wished for - didn't even get the late push they've had recently.
First regulation win for the Leafs in Vancouver since 2019. Grump.
-- Thursday
Another ROG winning streak broken. Rebuild Rules have something to say about win streaks. It's not good.
Stinky basement in the ROG still safe for the worst team in the league. No big deal.

Also... in case the vibes are in need of re-vibrification...
Losing Streak. 1 straight. That's not so bad.
First... some good news.
Canucks won the 1st period! And the 2nd period!
On the scoreboard!
Gave up 3 goals in the 3rd to not win that period. Oh well.
Thanks for reading!
Like some other games, this game was 20 minutes too long.
In the 1st, Nucks jumped out to the commanding 1 goal lead off the heavy work of the Rig and the sleek deke work of Pete. DOC scores off the rebound.
In the 2nd, the commanding lead is promoted to even more commanding. The 2 goal lead. Safest lead in hockey.
Rossi runs a little interfear and Oggie makes up for his Ohgroaning penalty
Not pointing fingers at the refs in this game. They have a tough job to do. Calling the faintest of Nucks infractions while ignoring Sharkie's high sticks and slashes. Easy to get the jerseys mixed up and expect a nasty call from the NHL Room of Doom.
SJ has their PP running at 25%. For those don't enjoy mathing, means that they get 1 PP goal for every 4 chances at the Macklin special time. Surprisingly, the Nucks PK killed 4 thru the 1st and 2nd... Asking to kill a 5th in the 3rd. Well... Ref math wins the Law of Averages game.
Still Nucks were leading after 2. Something like only the 2nd time in 15 games, so might have felt unfamiliar. And kinda fun too!
In the 3rd... that period that gave us so much Nucking madness last game, just made us mad, as after SJ scored on the early PP, the Nucks looked more like the 10 L-streak team we're kinda familiar with.
Worse the sharp-shooting Sharkies added 2 more goals 30 seconds apart later in the period.
Nucks did push back in the final minutes, but no loser point, only the loss. Oh well. No point getting too greedy so soon.
Wild finish!
Lost the lead, which sucks, but still entertaining. I'll take that.

It was really nice to watch an entertaining game this season. It feels like we've started back upwards...?? Maybe? Please?

Also... in case the vibes are in need of re-vibrification...
We won! An entire game!
Rebuild Rules state: after losing 10 games, you're allowed to comeback from a couple 3-goal deficits, tie it up and win on the PP in OT.
Rebuild Rules are eerily specific sometimes.
Canucks won the 1st period! In our hearts and minds. Freakin' Ducklings outshot Nucks 6-4. That's not so bad. Anawhoo did score tho. 1-0 after 1.
Maybe Nucks were saving something special for the 2nd...
Thanks for reading!
We won't recap the 2nd period. Too much. It was a period where the Nucks tied the game early on Ohgren's shot pass to the Duckie defender and past Dos-stall. Nice. Except before we could enjoy the enjoyment of the goal, Ducks came back to score - 30 seconds later. Oooph.
It was also the period where the Nucks got 3 power plays and didn't score. The same period where the Ducks got one PP and scored. And scored again 5v5 to lead 4-1 after 2.
Still... on the closely-watched Nucks shot count, the count was good. Nucks outshooting the fowl side 12-9.
Was this another game where the Canucks head into the 3rd down 3 or more goals? Yes. Could they erode the deficit and add a respectable loss to the L-column? Also, yes. Possibly more.
In the 3rd, Nucks play seemed to support some impromptu own-end fire drill practice. Good to keep those drills fresh on the road.
Then for whatever crazy reason, Nucks got bored of fire drill practice and decided to let the Ducks get quaking - protecting the 3rd safest lead in hockey.
After a nifty deke by Pete, Brock goes to net and Brocktober is back! Using his front.
As per the SOP of this game, less than a minute later, Ducks score to restore their 3 goal lead.
Really?
Doesn't matter. Because this high-powered Rig smashes that lead right between the goal posts.
Less than 3 mins to go... time to get lucky. Or even better, get Lekki.
Nucks have scored 3 goals in the 3rd! We're sooo coming back!
Not just one... even better. With Merri on the bench and 2 mins left... what's next?
Wooooooooo!
Also... Wooo! We could pick up a loser point.
Nucks keep the tie. AV would be proud. 5-5 after 3.
Canucks scored 4 goals, in a single period. The 3rd period!
You have GOT to be KIDDING ME! WOOOOOOO!!!!
This game is so frikkin' stupid! I love it!
-- Thursday
OT
Nucks keep puck possession as per the OT guidelines. Then penalty-magnet, Senny, high-sticks Lekki and the Nucks get a 4-on-3 PP. After failing to score on the previous 5 chances, maybe the Duckies need to take another stupid penalty. And do.
7th time's the charm!
With 10 seconds left, Nucks PP mongers, mavens, the divas of definitive passing setup Ronnie for the Game Winning One Timer!
Your Rebuilding Canucks WIN 6-5 in OT!
I am watching the Ducks feed. They ran out of words. They say 'this defies explanation'
We beat the Ducks 14 times in the last 16 meetings.
They think it's some kind of curse.

Losing Winless Streak. 10 straight. And counting. Who's counting and how?
Nucks gave up what's his name's 500th and 501th point. So generous to former traitors. Or still current?
First... some good news.
Canucks won the 1st period!
On the shot clock, 10-3. Not the scoreboard. But went on to win the 3rd period. On the scoreboard!
Thanks for reading!
We won't recap the 2nd period where the Nuck were outshot 16-3 and outscored by a couple.
In the 3rd, and Nucks still hadn't scored and we were thinking things that shouldn't be thought so soon in a rebuild. So we shut out those thoughts.
After switching off the shut out switch, Sassy scored on a stretch pass from Ronnie.
Finally some classic rock give 'n go between Brock and Petey results in a Brocket to bring the Nucks within 2.
Even better, Brock scored while what's-his-name didn't defend him.
In the final 3 minutes of the game, Manny pulled Merri and the Nucks did NOT give up an empty nester!
Even better, they kept the puck and pressure in the Minni zone. Pretty much. Didn't score, but ended with a push, not a whimper.
Let's try to find the pony shivering under the weight of rebuild crap.
The Nucks special teams... oh never mind. Wait! The Nucks PK did kill off a minute of 5-on-3 in the 3rd. So that was good. The 2 goals the Nucking PK gave up earlier in the game... we won't mention. Ever again.
As ever, NHL refs were issuing their standard issue bad/missed calls as per their ROG protocol.
Wild got 5 power plays. Nucks got 1. A single one. So fair and balanced.
What was that? Oh, right. We're staying positive in the fugly face of rebuild hockey.
Nucks didn't give up (too) easily and brought noise back into the ROG in the 3rd.
Payback Moment of the Game
- or would have been if the Traitor hadn't picked up those points.
Not the scoreboard payback we were hoping for. But on the bright side, Nucks are picking up more DuPoints, right?
Right. The ROG was chanting: “LANDON DUPONT!” which makes us either laugh or cry. Or both.

Losing Streak. 9 straight. And counting.
Nucks didn't score much. And shot even less.
First... some good news.
We're back in our winter home already!
Thanks for reading!
Canucks got down a couple goals early in the 1st as the Wings flapped their sticks that scared the Nucks D away from in front of Lanky and Lanky forgot what his position is normally tasked with.
However, the Nucks came back to score on the PP with a Petey shot.
But then the Winged PP scored their PP goal which resulted in some mathematical contortions as the scoreboard claimed it was wings 3-1 after 1.
As discouraging as the 1st period might have been, well... the Nucks 2nd period was in that place below discouraging and not above pathetic.
In 20 minutes of 'professional' hockey, the Canucks did not register a shot on goal. Still early on we were looking for positives and finding them - all in our own end.
The good news is that Detroit's only had 3 shots this period... the bad news is that's (checks calculator) 3 more than we have.
-- Twitch
While MotoCity was credited with 13 shots and goal in the 2nd, Karlsson's shot(ish) thing gave us hope. But the league took it away.
On the sniff of a stinky silver lining, Nucks aren't the only team to not record a shot in the 2nd period. The Pens in game 1 of the 2016-17 SCF, didn't record a shot in the 2nd either. And still went on to win the Cup. So that's either a half a glass of faint hope or a very stretchy bit of foreshadowing. You pick.
In the 3rd, a period not generally enjoyed by the Canucks or their fans, the Canucks were Bronx-cheered as DeBrusk put a shot on net barely 6 minutes into the 3rd. Their 1st shot since the 1st period period of sloppy hockey.
Even better and I'm not making this up to make you feel better for your poor life choices as a Nucks fan. No, I'm not.
Rossi sets up Lekki not only for a shot on goal, but a shot into the net. Which in case we've forgotten, is a goal. A Canucks goal in the 3rd period of a NHL game!
While only down a few goals with some minutes of ineffective hockey remaining, you might wonder if Manny would go for the Footie. He did not.
Didn't need to as the Nucks got a late PP. For a minute.
Onto the power play? Onto the power play!
Off of the power play? Yeah.
-- Thursday
Funniest Moment of the Game
- or would have been funny if the Nucks were leading 8-1 and Tankinen wasn't pulled into a ROG gravity well that only EP40 is familiar with. Easy shot to stop. Normally. Not when you slip and fall on the slippy ice.
And thus ends the most 'winnable' game on this home stand with a 5-2 loss to a team in the 10th year of their speedy rebuild.
Was this at least an entertaining game?
Next question.
But still hope springs... a bit.

But we dinna care on Cheech night.
First... some good news. Canucks honoured John Garrett in the ROG. Nothing better than remembering a great Canuck, Canucks broadcaster and wonderful person.
Thanks for reading!
Canucks hung with the champs through 2 periods. Tied 2-2 after 1 and 3-3 after 2.
After 3 is not something we can speak of at this point in the rebuild.
If this was a playoff game, the Nucks would have won. What? Sure, it's been a long time since I've seen a playoff game, but pretty sure with Tiktok attention span of fans, the league's plan is smart to limit playoff games to 40 minutes.
Nucking PK was perfect in 10 mins of no GA hockey.
Karlsson got his goal a minute(-ish) after the PK ended. Sasson got his 30(-ish) seconds after the PK ended.
Maybe getting penalties isn't so bad...?
-- Thursday
PP went 1 for 2 as Lekki scored on the PP with 1.6 seconds to go in the 1st. Woulda been better to go 7 for 10, but NHL refs...
Yes, it would have been nice to see the Nucks continue ketchup hockey until the final buzzer of the 3rd, but this game wasn't about winning it. It was about remembering Cheech.
And we did.
We could whine and wine about the Nucks poor defensive coverage on some Canes goals... but we won't.
Eesh...oleksiak needs gets himself into no man's land with some lazy play, puck in the net.
-- Twitch
Besides, Nucks can't contain elite players like Nicolas Deslauriers all the time.
Or any time?
Deslauriers, 3rd rounder (#84) from 2009 is added to the extended Nucking nemesis list.
Watching ketchup hockey is fun! Until the elite 3rd rounder breaks the narrative.
Give up a goal...tie the game...give up a goal... tie the game... give up a goal... to a guy who hasn't scored since the duran duran was current.

Still an entertaining game.

Unlike last game, Nucks got more than 2 shots in the 3rd. Impressive!

Losing Streak. 7 straight. And counting.
First... some good news. Canucks won the 1st period and a half. Scored the only goal of the 1st period. Kept the lead until near mid 2nd. This was a good start with the usual not so good finish.
Thanks for reading!
On the positive side of the dim dark tunnel of this season, we can almost unofficially declare EP40 is back. Scored a wicked sharp angle goal on the PP early in the 2nd. Which means Pettersson is now tied with Pettersson on goals. Only threw one hit and finished as a -2, but still... Pettersson finished with a -3 as did Ronnie.
Karlsson was due and was paid with a goal at distance to open the scoring.
And good, but not great news, Lanky made some key saves, but couldn't stop all the shots in the 3rd. Finished with decent(ish) .886 SV% on the night afternoon. His best performance on the road. If only the rest of the Canucks could play the full 60 minutes as well.
Still... 30-35 minutes of good road hockey aught to be enough for any Nucks fan this season. And if it isn't, then please consult the Rebuild Rulebook, which has many helpful hints to make 3-5 years of losing hockey seem like only 2 or 3.
No worries. We know our place in the great wide open basement of things.
Doesn't mean we can't couch coach as required.
We had a good offensive push in the last 5 minutes of the second. I didn't see any of the game before that, and didn't see much offense after it. Maybe defense wins games, but you still need to have more goals than the other guys.

Horrid Road Trip No Longer Pointless
First... the Good News. Canucks won the 1st couple periods. Scored 2 goals in the 1st period. Kept the lead until late(ish) 3rd. This was a fun game to watch. Until it wasn't.
It was the best start the Canucks have had on this road trip of falling behind early. Instead, Canucks score on their 1st shot of the game. Ohgren is a puck hound in the SoBeach end, Panthers think they've cleared the zone. Karlsson showed them they had not - passed back to Ohgren who whipped it into the net.
WOOOOOOOHGREN! First canucks shot... first canucks lead...of the roadtrip!
-- Twitch
Later in the period, teams were playing 4-on-4 and Petey the sniper makes them pay. DPetey the sniper. Chytil with the primary assist in his 1st game of the season.
2-0 Canucks after 1. Good game.
2nd period Canucks led, kept the safest lead in hockey for the full 20. 2-0 Good Guys after 2.
Meanwhile, it looked like Petey was going on a breakaway - could mean a 3-zip lead. Can't let that happen, eh, refs?
Refs also 'assisted' on the 1st Panther goal... with missed calls rather than obvious interference.
The end of the 3rd period ended in the worst possible way - upchuking all over the ice. It was disgusting. Won't mention OT. Watch the recap if your masochism quota isn't yet full.
Something To Cheer About Column
Nucks got within 9 minutes of a Merri shutout or 12 seconds of winning a game on the road. That's pretty good.
For the 2nd consecutive game Merri posted a .923 SV%. Have we found our new #1?
However... upchuking was pretty nasty at the end.
Zeev gets no releeev.
Not his fault... Old Bessie was gassed. All game it seemed.
Oh well...

Winning a point on the road doesn't feel like enough...
The last two games are showing improvement. Close, one goal affairs.
I was punching the pillows for a while after the OT loss, but if we want to draft high this season, this is the time to lose.
If twe assume that the kids are learning and improving over this season, then the logical conclusion is that there will be fewer and fewer losses later on
Plus Demko will be back at some point.
We will accumulate enough losses now, to offset the wins that come later. This way we can still be near the bottom.
I'll rather lose now and finish the season on a high note, than the other way around.
