What can I say that Kent hasn't already pointed out?
The Canucks fucking suck. I think we need to bring in non-hockey mathematicians to look over the numbers and patterns and distributions and then bring in the psychologists to look at the body language and speech patterns. And I say this because there seems to be this idea the Canucks are a good team going through a tough spell. We have already went through this with the Boudreau era bump that occurred at the end of 2022-23....."Hey look, the Canucks can win with this coaches style!" and then last year really skewed our vision of what this team was.
We have to admit what this team actually is. This team has only won 6 out of its last 20 games. Fuck.
This team has one defensive pairing that isn't a third pairing.
This team has no legitimate offensive threat except Quinn Hughes.
Rick Tocchet's system is not set up to handle poor play from two lines of forwards and defense.
Either Petey or J.T. will be traded before March 7th.
Brock and his scoring have disappeared.
I would trade Demko.
What the fuck happened this year?
Well....there is nothing like kicking a team when they're down. So here come the Oilers tonight.....ready to kick our ass again at home. Jerseys will be flying on the ice quickly.
LINEUPS
Oilers....who cares
Canucks - I would run the following
Brock - J.T. - Petey ----> The boat goes down with them
Jake - Suter - Garland. -----> This line probably scores
3rd and 4th line - get the blender ready

"More calculated on our reads. A lot of energy but also good energy. Not get unstructured...especially against this team.β

βIt takes a full five on the ice. Getting in front of them. Stop their speed, stop their momentum is a big part.β

GAME DAY BATTLE HYMN
These are dark days in Canuck land. The metal sounds that Kent threw at you over the past have not worked. The pain at watching these games have brought out my anger.....and I pass it on to you.
Hey Canucks....Take a look at me now.
Go Coconuts Go!
