The Vancouver Canucks struggle as they permit their 10th power-play goal since the All-Star break, with a poor performance against the Seattle Kraken. Coach Rick Tocchet expresses disappointment in the team's lack of effort and inability to generate shots and chances. The Canucks are on a four-game losing streak, facing challenges with their power play and overall performance.
It’s Demko, it’s Swayman, it’s a game that feels pretty important for a #Canucks team that’s lost 4 straight and lost 4-0 to the Bruins a few weeks back. It’s Hockey Night in Vancouver. https://t.co/qCViqxJfbJ
Sky is falling all across Western Conference. Canucks are not only contenders struggling as they carry 4-game slide vs Boston. Boston! Rick Tocchet: “We can’t keep saying, ‘Well, we’re still in first place.’ We’ve got to make a little bit of a stand.” https://t.co/jGJvMCXit6
4pm face-off for #Canucks and Bruins. Always an event with Boston in town. Game day preview here with news, notes & stats. Oh yeah, and winner will take solo possession of first place overall in #NHL standings https://t.co/hBUjqkedXo
on four game losing streak, #Canucks have opened scoring in all four games & have led or been tied at some point in second period of all four. But have been outscored 12-2 in third periods over last four (and both Nux goals came in crazy third in Minnesota on Monday)
It may feel like the sky is falling again in Vancouver, where the Canucks have lost four straight games in regulation. But as Canucks coach Rick Tocchet says, you can’t pick and choose your adversity. The adversity finds you. (@imacSportsnet) https://t.co/SzBy1DVREn
Why the #Canucks’ four-game losing streak is a test, not a crisis. My column on Rick Tocchet’s pointed commentary of his club’s performance and a brief skid that poses a big question that Vancouver players will have to answer going forward: https://t.co/sBRZr28NmZ
Rick Tocchet was not happy with the effort the #Canucks gave last night. While he took the blame for that, it didn't stop him from talking about what he saw and what is needed from certain players. Read more on @TheHockeyNews.⤵️ https://t.co/K5lITQhENo https://t.co/K5lITQhENo
Amid a four-game losing streak, their longest of the season, @jamiemclennan29 discusses if this is just a bad stretch for the #Canucks or a bigger concern in The Talking Point: https://t.co/wzeedoIGFY https://t.co/6YR0Gt0u2y
Canucks lose their 4th straight game and Tocchet was unimpressed in Seattle. Post game show podcast is available: https://t.co/KeEDFgpmOE https://t.co/KOHRwHTkOF
for all the talk about #Canucks needing more shots on power play, tried a bunch of different looks and still managed just 4 shots in 8 minutes of PP time. Now 1 for last 28 and looking more confused and frazzled by the day
On 4-game losing streak, with BOS, PGH and LA up next, if this isn’t adversity for Canucks, it will do until the adversity gets here. Rick Tocchet: “I don't care what our record is, it's been a bit disturbing…the efforts from some of the guys.” https://t.co/bz3MAAyNYI
#Canucks lost in San Jose in 10th game in 17 night stretch in November. So not surprised at Thursday's result. Just a big ask to play that much hockey in a condensed period. Again, unacceptable performance in Seattle. But some context to it. https://t.co/tNLPzRinbZ
Tocchet ticked off at no-show. “It was a comedy of errors and it started to unravel. They (Kraken) were desperate.If our guys think that is playoff hockey, then we’re in trouble.” #Canucks https://t.co/A3qnmtlriz
The #Canucks were poor overall, but the biggest issue Thursday vs. Seattle was an inability to generate shots and chances - both at evens and on the power play - despite trailing. VAN recorded 16 scoring chances and 1.48 expected goals tonight. Both marks a season low.
“Not much compete from the guys, so that’s on me,” says Rick Tocchet. “Too many no shows,” he adds. #Canucks
not making excuses for #Canucks. But 10th game in 17 nights & 8 of the 10 on the road. Plus six of players were at All Star weekend to open this stretch. That's asking a lot. But need to be better than they've been tonight for sure https://t.co/e6dk5zr6a9
#Canucks have 7 shots at even strength tonight. And Nux forwards have 7 shots total through 40 minutes
#Canucks permit another power-play goal against. Numbers are skewed by the Wild outburst, but nonetheless, it's their 10th goal against when shorthanded in 10 games since the All-Star break.
