1. It’s ok guys. They’re primed for another 4 goals on 16 shots tonight.

2. I don’t care if he makes 6M, they need to scratch Myers at some point if he keeps playing like this

3. It’s like 5 periods in a row now that we can’t generate shots.

4. Boys look like they need a Massage during 2nd intermission.

5. Flyers must be on cocaine. They will crash in da turd

6. This is the crux of the issue. Elite goaltending covering up the many problems this team has. It should be 5-0 easily right now yet it’s only 2-0 and the Canucks still have a chance to win. We need a good team not just a very good goalie.

7. Still holding hope for the third but yeah we are playing like ass. Every single line looks slow and the my god Myers is the actual worst defenceman.

   I’m guessing Tocchet will continue the third with switching up the lines because a lot of the top 6 is struggling and even are bottom 6 aren’t doing well.

8. It’s like Myers vs Demko out there

9. Demko is the reason why it’s not 5-0 for the Flyers. What an awful first two periods that was.

10. Shots 2 to 23 in the 2nd period. Love it.

11. I’ll still give credit to the team if we win this game we don’t deserve. You find a way to win this, I still have to credit them even though it’s all Demko.

    You lose this game 4-0 and you generate nothing again in the 3rd, and I won’t panic but I will have some questions.

12. 23-2 shots in that period against the Flyers lol

13. Demko saving our asses rn

14. Gotta come out swinging in the 3rd

15. I’d rather see Demko in the ~55 start area. 60 seems like too much.

16. everyone planning the parade after we beat the oilers twice needs to understand the concept of “sufficient sample size”

    we’ll see what this team is about after 10-15ish games

17. If we’re gonna have any success we’re gonna have to Sage this team

18. So is this the Tocchet style of hockey we were warned about? Low shooting etc

19. Demko is the only player who has shown up. It should be 4 to 5 to 0 for Philadelphia. I know Tyler Myers being bad is the main topic here, and he has been bad, but the entire team hasn’t shown up. Those bad habits have really crept into their game here, and they need to wake up.

20. Wrote this in the pre-game thread:

    >This the real test right here. 8-1 vs Edmonton is just such a Canucks thing to do that it doesn’t really say much about the current state of the team other than they have the talent to climb out of bed and put in an unexpected performance against a top team every once in a while.
    >
    >If they however come out buzzing against Flyers and destroy them 4-1, 5-2 or whatever in a defensively solid performance with calm, confident game management, instead of looking flat and lackadaisical like they usually do against these types of teams in games they should win, then there’s something real there and we can maybe start to believe a little bit.

    If they don’t come out and steamroll these guys in the 3rd it looks like pain and despair is back on the menu, boys. And we’re all gonna be here watching it because we clearly hate ourselves.

21. Good news, boys… Some guy named Biff just showed me a sports almanac from the future that showed us scoring three unanswered in the third, and Konecny gets trucked by EP40.

22. Can we just play the oilers 80 more times

23. Hopefully the Canucks can swing some momentum for the 3rd and get rolling

24. Team looks like they have never played together before, and Myers looks like he has never heard of this “hockey” before and is giving it a plucky try.

25. Canucks needs some muscles on the team. We should get some big aggressive speedy forwards, not small and light speedy forwards that keeps getting pinned onto the wall *coughcough garland, hoglander cough* Need hard hitting team

26. Only explanation is Torts is threatening death to the players who don’t forcheck

27. Canucks have looked good in two periods out of 8 this year.

    Plan the parade.

28. Not a single high danger chance this game. Looks like we are getting shut out.

29. Myers being Myers amirite?

30. I can’t watch this season.
    Not cause of the team, cause I can’t hear about anal cancer any more

31. Expecting to win games playing like this isn’t sustainable, but if we’re going to play like shit, I’m fine with seeing how far we can push it. How shit can you play and still fuckin win.

32. I do think it should actually be 1-0 but the fact it’s still only 2-0 is a miracle.

33. Hi Kate!

34. Flyers intermission girl is smokin! We’re stuck with Murph. No offense Murph, but ya just don’t do it for me lol

35. 3rd period is a huge test. How does this team respond to an embarassing performance?

36. bring in Willander and Bear to replace Juulsen and Myers ASAP.

37. I don’t think I wanna see a behind the scenes media day of them having fun when this is the effort we’re getting today 😂💀

38. HOO BOY is this segment ever ill timed… read the room, pull the plug and just let whoever you have available talk about what we just saw. Hell, bring Drance on to say “I told you so”.

39. Kuz is based

40. Where can I find Dakota Joshua’s teal canucks sweatshirt??

41. Lmao. They really should have pulled the plug on that segment after the first two periods…

42. I have full confidence in a comeback.

43. canucks look good. i think we are winning the stanley cup

44. Kuz looks like a Miami Narcotraficante from 1984

45. I’m calling it canuck’s are going to get it together in the third and win the game

46. Hopefully the Canucks will take their skate guards off so they can win da turd

47. Is it just me or is Ian MacIntyre just so dry
