Not really sens have had a few good chances this period but not tire fire

It’s more about the Canucks letting their foot off the gas. If you’re going to do that you have to play well defensively. At least they won. Moving on.

Woohoo!

 

Wasn't picture perfect but they scored enough goals to give themselves some breathing room.  And that's two points, regardless of the details.

 

Refs literally put the whistles away too

Nah the guys are just playing it out. Refs are letting tons of crap go too.

Playing it out in our end lol. Grossly outshot after the 1st period and most of the 3rd was in our end.

Things got a bit sloppy but we were never in danger of losing this one.

 

We could very well have been if it weren't for Demko.

 

The team is still having issues playing consistently.

Ya very true. They need to ramp up their work ethic. 

Every team in the league is going to let up after 5-0 lead but that was a hot garbage game entertainment wise. Demko and puck luck won that game.

Lets be real, its a good thing they did because we’d be the ones taking penalties trying to get the puck back. Hardly had any possession from 2nd period onward

To have let Ottawa back into this game was ridiculous. Got the W, but they rested on their laurels after the first period. 

 

Ray said it best "At no point did you feel this game was in jeopardy, but they made this harder than they needed to".

 

This team was lucky that it was Ottawa they were playing and not a competent team.

Right now this game aint over and right now we’ve been getting mauled the last 30 mins of hockey. 

No man... no one was getting mauled.  It was an easy win. 

 

An elite team doesn't waste all its energy beating up on a young team after taking a 5 - 0 lead..

 

They have a 7 game road trip coming up.  They were up by 5.  You coast to a win. No need to burn more energy than needed. 

 

Easy night easy win.

You think Tochett wants them to rest and conserve their energy for the road trip? That’s just silly. That wouldn’t be practicing good habits and staples as Tochett likes to call them.

Meh, I'm not going to complain about a win.

I’ll take the 2 points, but theres definitely things that need to be worked on. Maybe its just a bit of rust to shake off, but the last 2 periods were a bit ugly

The refs managed the game after the big lead.

Hard to keep playing hard when they keep moving the goal posts

What are they going to get away with now?

Makes us play for safely first then.
