GAME RECAP #37: Nucks Win 1st Home Loss of ‘23 - Get Isled Over 6-2

Related Topics: Vancouver Canucks

Welcome to the 2023 ROG. If it looks awfully familiar to the 2022 ROG, there’s a good reason for it.

More than one, actually. Lots of bad reasons.

Do I need to list them?

Fine.

  1. Nucks are not a hockey team. They’re a group of, possibly talented players, who play a team game individually, because they don’t trust their line mates. We don’t either.
  2. Nucks don’t take defense seriously. Can’t/Won’t block shots. Isles blocked 18 Nucks shots. Nucks blocked 3.
  3. Nucks forwards aren’t interested in backchecking or being available to receive a pass from the Nucking D.
