[Farhan Lalji] Un Tocchet exaspéré : « Il nous faut 5 ou 6 gars pour démarrer. Je ne sais pas s’ils savent que ce sont les séries éliminatoires. Il inclut Petey parmi ce groupe. « Il y avait au moins une demi-douzaine de passagers ce soir ». Suggère que des changements de programmation sont à venir.
An exasperated Tocchet, “We need 5 or 6 guys to get going. I’m not sure if they know it’s the playoffs.” He includes Petey among that group.
“There was at least half a dozen passengers tonight”. Suggests some lineup changes are coming. #Canucks— Farhan Lalji (@FarhanLaljiTSN) May 15, 2024

#Pettersson, Hoglander, Lafferty, Mikheyev, Cole, Hronek
Podkolzin SZN
Hronek has been absolutely brutal, middling defense, bobbling pucks and a blistering 0 points so far jesus
I think the obvious answers are most of the bottom 6ers and Hronek. Blueger’s been fine defensively. Hronek is the Pettersson of the blueline. Cole isn’t a passenger, he’s a fucking anchor. Get Podz and Hogs back in. I don’t care who comes out. Soucy in, Cole out. At this point, find a home for Raty and/Lekkerimaki. Shit man, this team can’t just get by on Lindholm, Garland, Boeser, Zadorov, and Silovs.
Oh shit that’s pod’s music
Hogs draws back in?
Soucy of course. Just dont know if its in place of Juulsen or Cole. Juulsen caused a goal tonight but Cole could’ve caused a few by my count lol.
Would love to see Podz.
I still don’t get why lafferty was playing with Petey especially after Karlsson had a solid game
Pettersson
Mikheyev
Hoglander
Hronek
Cole
Lafferty?
Pettersson, Hronek, Mikheyev, Cole, Lafferty, Hoglander
There’s my 6
Fuck it I know we have nothin to go off of but lets see what Lekkerimaki can do, home ice so Tocc can sort of shelter his changes and matchups.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Pettersson.
He’s not hurt, was sick but that’s probably passed now.
I mean sure he doesn’t have great line mates right now, but he seems flustered. I wonder if its stress. He knows he can do better and I trust him to do it, but man do we ever need him.
(There are a few things with his game that are kinda okay, its just he needs to be offensive again.)
Podkolzin and Hoglander back in the lineup. Our two starboys ready to do some fucking damage.
I’m honestly just happy to hear that
Interestingly this wasn’t EP40´s worst game this series. Likely cup is filling up.
Get Podkolzin in the lineup!!
I think Tocchet needs to seriously look at reforming the top six. Petey being a passenger may very well be a product of his line mates who, for a lack of better saying, have done nothing offensively.
Forward lines for next game:
Petey – Miller – Boeser
Joshua – Lindholm – Garland
Hoglander – Suter – Podkolzin
Mikheyev – Bluegar – Lafferty
So like, Petey has to just be slumping right? No way Tocc would call him a passenger if he was nursing an injury.
One has to be Cole. What the fuck is it with him clearing the puck from behind our net right into the middle of the slot? Guy is supposed to be our vet with playoff experience.
Petey needs a visit with a sports psychologist ASAP because if he’s not injured then there is something wrong with him mentally and it needs correcting and quickly.
Half a dozen is generous there were about 18 passengers for 50 minutes of that game
Tocchet is us fr
I was a big canucks fan all throughout childhood even when they were dog piss and stopped watching around the ‘13 season. I’d watch highlights and keep tabs on trades but I wasn’t invested.
I started to watch games about 2 years ago and seeing people shit on garland and boeser and demand they be traded and to see them play now fills me with joy. Boeser has been arguably our best forward throughout the season and now into the playoffs and every time I see garland play he’s trying his best and it shows. True heart on the sleeve kind of guy.
Oh shit Tocchet is pissed. Which means the boys will be pissed, and when the boys get pissed, they murder and win. Good things are about to happen.
5 or 6 as passengers and still almost pull it off. Now that’s impressive AF!
Should have never sat hoglander the last 2 games. He plays hard and brings energy and toughness. He hasn’t been scoring goals like in the regular season but he wasn’t playing bad imo.
Petey and Hronek are the biggest disappointments, completely a none factor in this playoff run. But if we lose this series it’s going to be mostly because of Petey not being able to perform.
Is Petey pouting b/c his linemates suck? The entire line has been garbage. However, anemic offense aside, when you tie a game up in the last couple of mins, you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT fucking not clear the zone. Stop with the limp dick clear attempts. It’s not like you will be sent to the minors if you ice the puck. Unbelievable. That being said, we didn’t show any offensive aptitude for the majority of the game and that is also very alarming and trending.
