Vancouver-If the Vancouver Canucks jersey that was protesting on the ice late on Saturday night had a note attached, hopefully fans who denied their team would explain: "It's not you, Bo, it's everyone."

Captain Bo Horvat’s name was printed on the jersey. Pittsburgh Penguins guard Brian Dumulin quickly and respectfully picked up the jersey from the ice at Rogers Arena. The latter placed the jersey on the glass and put it back on the glass. On the glass, a fan who is still willing to wear Ganuk colors claimed this jersey.

There are still many. However, at the end of the 4-1 loss to the Penguins, many people in their jerseys still booed the home team. The Penguins defeated Vancouver 44-23 and passed a worse ball than them in Montreal and Ottawa. team.

The trend of fans throwing away their jerseys is terrible for every National Hockey League team. Saturday’s evidence shows that the riots in the Canucks nations have not only spread to general manager Jim Benning and owner Francisco Aquilini. Outside.

"Obviously not a good person," Canucks winger Taylor Mort said when asked about what it feels like to be ridiculed at home. "(But) the only way to solve this problem is to overcome it. We have... we must continue to look in the mirror and find ways to get better, because we owe more people, not just ourselves."

Later, he added: "Tonight we heard the frustration of the fans. Once again, we look in the mirror and find a way, because we do owe more people, not just ourselves, to put together better products. ."

Horvath explained to the media the surprising shortcomings of the Canucks this season more than any other player. He simply said: "The fans want to win, we won't give them."

As a result, a large number of fans holding tickets, those who invested time and money in the Canucks, once again chanted "Fire Benning!" in the third period.

Having played 25 games this season—the schedule that should have allowed them to play in the playoffs is close to a third—the Canucks have a record of 8-15-2.

Their new application using the old method lost to the Far Win Penguins for the second time in 11 days.

The Canucks’ worst penalty shot in the league failed them again, but this time, Mott, Taylor Miles, and Tucker Pullman took penalties in less than two minutes—perhaps without According to the basis, it is absolutely unwise and unlucky-there really is no chance for the latter stage of the second stage.

With a continuous 5 to 3 advantage, the Penguins sniper Jack Gunzel quickly shot within 70 seconds, shooting from Canucks guards Oliver Ekman-Larson and Luke Shenen , The latter is unfortunately on the ice and not in the penalty area.

Guentzel's hat-trick started with another friendly bounce at 2:19 of the second quarter, turning the 1-1 game into a two-ball lead for the Penguins, and the Canucks never seemed to have the ability to threaten. .

"In the final analysis, this cost us a lot of games, which is different in many hockey games," Horvat said of DOA's PK in at least half of Vancouver's games. "It's different there again tonight.

"After 3-1, we are still in the right state. We should work harder in the third quarter. But when you have trouble with penalties like this, it's hard. When you chase with such a team, it It will be discouraging."

The problem of free throws started as early as the beginning of the mid-term, when JT Miller successfully accepted two tripping free throws in a relatively harmless manner in a little more than three minutes. More notably, the Canucks eliminated these two disadvantages.

But the difference in the number of players reached a critical mass-two-after Miles without a stick returned to his original instincts and at 16:14 simply picked up the puck and tried to throw it out of the area, the Canucks struggled after being besieged Sophomore Niels Hoagland unnecessarily icing.

Thirty-one seconds later, when Mott cross-checked Chris Letang at the Pittsburgh side, the controversial call and the first five-on-three appeared. Chris Letang seemed to have pushed himself towards the glass on the first contact.

Only 20 seconds later, the hapless Pullman desperately hit the ball with a backhand to clear the puck, which soared beyond the gravity of the earth like a NASA space launch. The game is delayed.

Guentzel, who only scored 12 goals in 10 career games against the Canucks, scored at 17:13 and 18:23 respectively.

"When you have knocked down someone and are 200 feet away from your net without a clear scoring opportunity, I don't think anyone really agrees with what they took (penalties)," Mott said. "But when the player came over and told you that he lost the advantage during the descent, it was difficult. But, obviously, we ate too much tonight. It changed the game tremendously."

However, if it were not for another post from the struggling Canuck Elias Pettersson two minutes before the penalty parade, Vancouver could have led the game 2-1 despite being eliminated.

But this is a failure for you. And win. Every effort produces its own inertia, and both teams on Saturday proved the science in this area.

"Of course, it feels a bit like a roller coaster," Mott said. "You are very confident in winning the last two games. But again, every day is a new day. Especially where we are, we must be able to enter and find a way to win the hockey game, whether it is 1-0. It's still 6-5... It comes down to winning the hockey game. This is the bottom line."

The six home games of the Canucks will continue against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
