This is sad. Cancucks are playing like they got lead bars up their arses or something. They have no drive for the puck. I dont think cloutier played bad this game (game 6), he isnt getting any help from the defence (or forwards for that matter). The canucks better start skating or they will be hittin the links on friday.

Wake up call! Cloutier has always been a backup goalie. His puck handling skills are worse than mine, though I'm pretty good, he's got poor/non-existant technique (since forever. I wish the canucks finally got a good goalie coach. I've been years for one!), and he doesn't do well against rebounds. That goal last night, the stacked pads one, he had enough time to cover the whole net. It's an easy save. Trust me. Why the hell did he stack!?. Worse yet, he collapses under pressure if things don't go his way. Canucks have jugled goalies forever, some of them pretty good. I'm sure if you give some other backup goalies a chance they could do better or as good as cloutier. He's not yet ready for prime time but who else, skudra or auld. They should be in the AHL.

Well, since i'm not a bandwagon fan, like soo many people are, I still support the canucks. You shouldn't really blame it on cloutier though. He's doing his best but he just ins't ready. All good goalies thrive under pressure and step the game up seriously. Our "Top" line needs to start playing real hockey.

The only line on the canucks worth a damn is the one with jovo, klatt, and the sedins. They seem to be getting all the chances by playing tough hockey and creating traffic. The wild goalie's, both, aren't good in those situations. They're lucky the wild has good d-men to help them out. Naslund's up against fairly good D-men and all he does is try to be pretty. That ain't gonna work.

One more thing, the canucks get too frustrated. We easily owned the first period last night got some good chances but we didn't score and seemed to collapse in the 2nd.

RUUTU Should have cleared the bench. (you know, skate by and take off their heads with his stick :p)

hey anyone going to any of the ducks vs. wild/nucks games? i got tickets to a game, but i'm not sure if it's game 1 or game 2. if you're gonna be there, lemme know!!

i would go if any of those games were anywhere near here...traveling to minnesota, LA, or vancouver isnt exactly an easy trip for me though...maybe someone here will be going to some atlanta playoff games next season :)

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
