Popular Post DeNiro Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 (edited) The good news is the team didn’t give up even after facing two 2 goal deficits in the third. I think they thought they could sleepwalk the game like they did against the Hawks but the Blues are a much hungrier team. When the Canucks turned it on though they were no match. Gotta play that way from puck drop though. Every team is gonna try their hardest against them now. Edited January 25 by DeNiro 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson played bad this game. Actually, he's been playing bad for the last little bit, but he doesn't deserve any criticism at this point. He's earned the right to play bad for now. I'm sure he'll work on playing better and it'll be okay. Yeah his game hasn't been terrific... unlike two weeks ago when he was NHL player of the week.

King Heffy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 minute ago, Jetliner said: This is playoff hockey. You are 100% going to cheap-shotted. The refs are not gonna call those cross checking penalties like the one in OT. Bettman's gonna make sure the canucks don't win the Cup. So what are you gonna do? Petey, thats a learning lesson for you. Next time don't be a bitch and give the puck away. Play smart. Give it back to your D and get off the ice cuz you've been out there forever in OT. I've provided a solution but apparently some people can't handle the idea of these dirtbags having to answer the bell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureQuickness Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 minute ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: No one is saying everything was his fault but these last four games, his game hasn’t been there. That’s a lot of periods in a row to just be blah. He’s not alone though. Slumps for Boeser, JT and Petey don’t help the team at all. I don’t just mean scoring either. They just look distracted and disinterested at times. What did Boeser do wrong though? He had two assists (primary) that led to the goals tonight. He also hasn't been the weakest link on the line. JT has scored recently, but has missed a lot of shots. We do need Petey to play better than he's doing though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Boeser was ok, Miller was hardly noticeable, Pettersson’s worst game of the year, Hughes was solid. Need a better effort all around Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keslers Ghost Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Lot of players had poor performances defensively tonight. Blues were very structurally strong and I hated our lack of jam in the final power play. Re reffing, as much as the OT check on Petey was frustrating, I really didn't like the cross check (or whatever you want to call it) on Hughes, thought that was dangerous and I hope he is ok. Take the point and be ready to play next game. GCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Bright spot… Suter Miller Boeser line seems to work. Probably because Miller and Boeser can play with anyone (like PDG). Not so bright spot… Mik EP Kuz line doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Something needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barn Burner Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 minutes ago, canuck73_3 said: Not an excuse. It’s a blown call. Fact. Yeah. Just like the blown call against Petey against the Rangers in OT here. But, he definitely needs to get up and backcheck instead of looking around at the ref. Too bad, it was a nice comeback and some great efforts by a lot of guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 minutes ago, canuck73_3 said: Not an excuse. It’s a blown call. Fact. I love Petey, pick him for GWG pretty much every night but he had a bad game. Every night there's missed calls, gotta play through them, we lost because we had a pretty bad game for the most part and quite frankly Petey had one of his worst games, can't blame the refs for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hopefully we learn tonight to be more aggressive. This team absolutely murders the league when they stay on top of their opponents but the last 4 games we've played extremely passively and are banking on our execution. Despite grabbing points this team isn't playing the right way to win consistently, especially against a playoff team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
