29 wins, 23 losses, and 11 overtime losses - Vancouver Canucks at its lowest ever since Jonathan Tanner Miller left the Canucks! Elias Pettersson is not the same. He’s a changed man, and now the Canucks fans have started noticing the same! One X user wrote, “I thought pettersson was back”. Another X user expressed frustration saying, “Best fans in the world get to watch this trash year after year”. A third X user said, “I feel[fell] asleep. No shots, no watch.” A fourth X user reiterated, in case it went missing, “Where was Elias big comeback?”

“We need some desperation,” says head coach for the Vancouver Canucks, Rick Tocchet



At the post-game press conference, head coach for the Vancouver Canucks, Rick Tocchet, said, “We are in the thick of the race. We need some desperation, like to grab a puck and do something. But I liked a lot of guys’ effort tonight. You have got to feel comfortable in tight games, right? The good teams have a comfort level. But you need a cushion. You need some goals. We have got to score some goals, right? We had some opportunities, but maybe not enough, right? I don't care how long you've been here, you have gotta earn your ice time. That's the way it works. That's how you win Stanley Cups.”
