And this was the point, it wasn’t a list to identify under achieving players, it was a list of players that happen to wear a Canucks jersey so they can be the source of constant complaints.
The way I see it, there are numerous posters that have someone they need to complain about nonstop, 30 times a day, and every other day I complain about the complainers, what a cycle eh,

None of you get a choice whether Petey stays or goes, so why waste your time complaining or praising. I'll be very surprised if he's moved, but they have to listen to any team that calls otherwise they're not doing their jobs and if they're the ones making the calls, then they're in big trouble.

Hughes out for the season?

I hope QH finally plays. Need a win against Kings having lost ground in the playoff race.

Yeah real solid insight here. Maybe you can let us all know the Flames passed us in the standings...

Almost correct in my case. I’ve been on the EP rant when it wasn’t popular for over a year otherwise pretty low key on bashing players. At one time it was Myers but he changed all that by improving. I never was in the gang on LE all day every day & they still bring him & his gif up.

Yes what a cycle indeed 🤣👍🏻

I think Petey has two main problems that are having fans turn on him. One is obviously pay vs production and the other which is becoming more and more prevalent is he just seems like an absolute bumhole. No wonder he and JT didn't get along.

Bottom line is patience is running out in all regards to Pettersson. Man if I was a season ticket holder it would almost be cancellation time. Boeser is likely gone and Demko can't shake his injuries. Plus we have moved on from Horvat and Miller excellent centers now and if Pettersson goes Hughes will likely follow. Amazing how this current MNGT team hasn't been able to round this club out when all the core pieces were provided.

When I seen this lineup yesterday I was actually happy with the top 3 lines, it looks like a more balanced approach. Interesting to see Boeser moved out of the top 6....perhaps a sign of things to come.

Rangers lost Fox and K Miller last night to injury, maybe Boeser and Soucy to NYR for....

Something to ponder: Is Lankinen this year’s Ville Husso? Discuss.🧐

I feel like the Kings are a very underrated playoff team right now. They aren't flashy but they're big, quick, and solid defensively. Plus Kuemper is having a good year in goal. Adrian Kempe is one of the most underrated players in the league IMO.

I'm reading online that Hoglander has been one of the best players for the Canucks with all the fancy stats stuff, it's about time Tocchet gives him a good look in the top six.

I agree, his motor is always running and has been doing the right things that warrant a look inside the top 6. Sure would be nice if he could find the scoring touch, as his step back along with many others have really hurt this team.....just over 2 goals a game scoring since January is abysmal.

Wonder how Kempe feels about his countryman buddy Pettersoon lol

Drance wrote about it, not really a demotion, more of a balancing:

They didn’t actually do any line rushes, but based on drills observed throughout practice, the lineup had the following look — although it’s worth noting without rushes, it’s impossible to have a precise sense of the hierarchy of these lines or pairs.

To illustrate the caution we should exercise here in interpreting what these lines mean, I wouldn’t necessarily consider Brock Boeser to have been moved to the bottom six.

The Kings and Anaheim Ducks are structured teams with size, and the Kings might currently be the most suffocating defensive side in the sport. The line of Drew O’Connor, Pius Suter and Boeser stands in contrast with the other Canucks forward lines in that it pairs two above-average-sized wingers with the team’s most reliable defensive centre in Suter. Since the J.T. Miller trade, for lack of other options, Suter has regularly been used in something of a matchup role, and Tocchet will look to task that line with some difficult matchups this week in Southern California.

Their performance might be crucial, especially against a Kings team that put their lines in a blender Monday against the Vegas Golden Knights and stumbled onto a Quinton Byfield, Kevin Fiala and Adrian Kempe line that ran roughshod over the division leaders, pacing L.A. to a decisive 5-2 win.

The main takeaway, though, is that this isn’t a demotion for Boeser. If anything, it’s a reflection of the level of defensive trust he’s built up over the years. It’s really a testament to his evolution and adaptation as a forward.

It was. Then he had some gaffes and got demoted.

Höglander broke camp on Vancouver’s second line back in October, but after a tough backcheck in a loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in November — among some other issues with his overall awareness and hockey IQ — he was bumped down the lineup. It’s taken him months to play his way back into the opportunity, but he’s been one of Vancouver’s best forwards since the calendar flipped to 2025 and will finally get his shot to play with skilled players again.

“I’m always excited to get back,” Höglander said on Tuesday. “It feels like the last few games, the last month, I’ve been working pretty hard. My game has been there, I’m not really producing, but it’s going to come if I keep going.

“So it means a lot to get the chance there and hopefully we can get going, and me and Pettersson can find each other. Maybe I can help get him going too.”

One of the key things the Canucks will look for from Höglander is for him to just be himself. In a bottom-six role, he tends to be an assertive battle winner, comfortable carrying the puck through the neutral zone and attacking off the rush. When he’s effective, he plays dogged hockey or is a “buzzsaw,” to use Tocchet’s preferred term.

In the past, however, when he’s been tasked with complementing skilled players up the lineup, there’s a sense he’s occasionally been a bit too deferential, a bit too east-west, when the Canucks need him to be himself and play his assertive game.

“Yeah, maybe sometimes I can get too cute when I play with top-six guys,” Höglander said. “So I’ve got to keep doing my work, playing my game, and not get too comfortable.”

Right. And Tocchet should have left him there instead it was doghouse after doghouse. RT totally derailed Hogs career especially after coming of a 25 goal even strength season. All he needed was TOI in the top 6 and a position/linemates to succeed. Just disappointing is all.
