I agree with you, Canucks just needs to simplify their game at home. Hoping Demko coming back sometime during this homestand will give this team a bit of a confidence boost. Because I can tell they are not playing with any confidence when Silovs in net (and not like he has given this team any confidence with his play). Canucks needs to pick up another top 4 defenseman to solidify the blueline, if they can keep themselves above the playoff line and have a healthy roster by January, then they should be able to pull through and be a playoff team again.
Canucks are doing surprisingly well with major players missing at times. How would thier standing be if Demko had Silovs starts. Some teams go through a bad year of injuries etc and it costs them the playoffs or the playoff run suffers from the unforseen events. They will not fire Tocchet for awhile I believe because he is doing well with what's been a tough year in Injuries/missing players. If they are all healthy come playoffs they could be a serious contender, but things have to line up.
The only way it will lead to a successful home stand as if they do not play the Arty again. Arty effects the team the same way a night of drinking does. They almost need a few days to recover from his play
I think Canucks will pull through at home, they got a hard working roster so just keep up that forecheck that makes their offence click they should be okay
With both Hronek and Miller out, I'm cutting them a bit of slack, I think. Obviously the rest of them should really step up, Pettersson especially, but I'll probably be happy if they can just stay afloat.
Last year at one point the Kings were road warriors that couldn't win at home. This year they are dominating at home and not great on the road. It seems pretty flukey to me. I think just by luck, you get a team or two every year that happens to win a lot more on the road, and they stick out in the league. But I don't know if there is any concrete reason why. This year it happens to be the Canucks.
Thanks for the video! All the upcoming home games will give them a chance to right the ship before they clinch a playoff spot. Not having any back to back games should be helpful.
I feel our cursed teams are having a character building year, none of our points are coming easy but once things start clicking with even 5% more consistency we should see disproportionately positive outcomes. I see too many positives from both teams to count them out of playoff contention at this point, just cleaning up some minor bad habits and keeping a healthy roster should be enough to tip the scales for us both.
Being good on the road versus home means your team is getting better imo. For younger teams that havent had much success. Thats what my Oilers were like 3-5 years
I don't think there's a reality this season or next, even in dire circumstances where Tocc is in trouble. His relationship with Rutherford & Allvin is tight, he's been dealt a pretty Canucky hand in terms of injuries this year, was the Jack Adams last year and there's no feasible, better replacement.
If something isnt done this year then the canucks only long term solution is to wait out the soucy and oel deals and have Dpetty and Willander come in to fill the defense gaps. Once the oel buy out and soucy contract is done and ran its course, the new defense prospects have some nhl experience, they should go all in.
exactly. Shannon is an idiot. He always overreacts to every little thing. Same with everyone counting on Demko being a savior of sorts, he won't be the same player he was when be left lmao.
The stats look like our captain and alternates are carrying literally the rest of the team every single home game, which would explain why we're 3-5-3 at home so far.
I think with how they were talking about demko he could start vs the blue jackets. That's a smart game to get his feet wet since they arnt the strongest, and if they start him then, then lankienen can alternate to take on the more difficult teams, and demko can start with easier opponents
LOL, I would have already needed to leave if I was. No, today is far too busy and I can't talk my wife into sitting through 4 hours of wrestling with me.
Marcus Pettersson is one half of the worst defensive pairing for goals-against in the NHL this season. are people genuinely interested in him? or is it just an acceptance of the Penguins-Allvin pipeline that makes this make sense?

@@RLJ96 agreed
Alvin needs to book a hotel at home for the boys until they get a winning record.
lol so true

He was so good last year. It is sad to see and not good for him either.
If Demmer is back this home stand. We are good. He will win at home.

I always assume my teams lose their games in hand and their opponents win them and that is the real picture

What about a video highlighting players that had career seasons last year and have since come down to earth this year?
I don't think there's a reality this season or next, even in dire circumstances where Tocc is in trouble.

Thank you.
they have to win a few at home but its not the key to the season. Ridiculous

Just 2 pts behind last years points. More drama though.
I see san jose as a young canucks, both team ton of future potential.

Home stand? We're cooked 🥲

play Lankinen more on road in net, Silovs more at home in net?
At least when we're in the playoffs on the road we will win.
They need to be MID on the next homestand. Tough ask from this team
Vancouuuuuver
team play up and down ice?
Hey u going to survivor series 😮
LOL, I would have already needed to leave if I was. No, today is far too busy and I can't talk my wife into sitting through 4 hours of wrestling with me.
@TheHockeyGuy i would have but too expensive 😒
