Losing Streak. 6 straight. Getting close to record. Again.

Nucks couldn't keep up with the worst team in east through 50 minutes. Rebuild discipline?

First... some good news.

Nucks didn't get shutout by Traitor Taco's team.

Applied some pressure late - some say - far too late - to get within one. Having got close, was close enough.

Thanks for reading!

You might have thought the Nucks at home facing the Traitor team on the 2nd of a B-2-B would be the fresher, more energized team.

Stop thinking those thoughts.

Nucks were so tired and unmotivated that getting 4 shots on goal in the 1st while giving up a goal was more than enough after a grueling 2 game road trip across the flat prairies. Managed to bring some of that flatness to the game.

Funny enough that the Nucks could only put 2 shots on goal in the 2nd, but did manage to give up another goal. So that's playing Rebuild Hockey with as little hockey as possible.

At the end of 2 periods:

2-0 Flyers

FLYERS 46 SA's
SOG - 15
Blocked - 17
Missed - 14

NUCKS 19 SA's
SOG - 6
Blocked - 6
Missed - 7

Canucks are an absolute embarrassment so far in this game.

Although... still evenly matched.

Hockey can be a game of mysteries... mostly unsovled.

We all need to be thinking about paying Rogers for their NHL monopoly...

FINALLY

Nucks head into the 3rd period down 2 goals. Which became 3 down early.

But Manny protested the goal on the grounds of offside and we weren't ready.

The refs confabbed and agreed to take away the goal.

This helped the Nucks to get 'energized' and play like they could comeback - if they hadn't waited so long.

Nucks even got a PP. However...

Gonna need you to play harder before the ten-minute mark of the third, guys.

Oof. Not a shot on the power play.

While game threads might be worried, at least we weren't complaining.

And yet... because they're the worst team in the east... their PK can't hold back the 20th ranked PP in the league all game.

The 20th ranked PP scores! Wooo! Canucks get Lekki!

No shutout for the Woll.

Even better, Nucks got another PP in the last 3 mins to go for the tie. Or the 6-on-4 Footie. They chose the Footie for old timey reasons.

Their first shot in the ENG. Bah!

-- Thursday

Nucks lose to the worst of the east 3-1. Do you remember when Philly last scored more than 2 goals in a game? No one does.

Pathetic 2 periods of Nucking sloth hockey. Woke up mid-3rd to give the ROG fans a few fleeting feel good moments. That was nice.

Flyers trying to secure the second-to-last spot in the standings. One above us.
Bragging rights...

Yapping between the benches.

"You guys suck!"
"At least we didn't tell people we were making the playoffs."

Unfortunately this was not a defeat with dignity. This was a defeat sponsored by disinterest for 50 minutes. Pretty long sponsorship deal.

For those of you without the Extra Enshitified Rogers Sportynet Plus Plus subscription, here's what the paying-thru-the-nose had to watch. At least they got Shortie.

POST GAME CHATTER!

DOC, Lekki and Manny explain how playing flat in the ROG can be.

Rebuild Rules: Forget the rules, play flat-out, not flat.

Win or lose, remember to keep the vibes rolling!

I am keeping this feeling with me for the rest of the year.

Also... in case the vibes are in need of re-vibrification...
