Kurtis Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Just now, Dom said: Yeah I don't think they suck, but I definitely don't think they are a top 5 team either. Absolutely agree. We had a pretty easy schedule to the first half. We are definitely a good team but Definitely inflated stats. I don’t see us beating a few teams in a 7 game series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 15 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Our backup continues to get us points you can’t ask for more than that. Kinda surprised Demko didn’t get this game though. Usually you dress your best lineup in the first game. I've said this all season. These points with our backup are key given the parity in the league and the few points separating top teams. They were even more important when we were thought to be a bubble team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My biggest issue is that tocchett has talked about how he thinks they need to get bigger so where has Allvin addressed that area of concern in terms of the top two lines. He hasn’t. We are small and slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Buzzsaw- Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Only freaking Petey whiners can bitch and complain about a game where he got 3 points. If you want to point fingers, then point at Myers and Hughes... they didn't have great games. Edited February 10 by -Buzzsaw- 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure961089 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Brutal times for these back to backs, no wonder Petey is yawning. The good news is Tocchet found chemistry with Petey's new line. Garlands line will need to step up and be that second line we've had for most of the season to give Miller and Lindholm time to find chemistry. On the whole brutal reffing. Hoglander's penalty was a complete joke. Lindholm needs to wake up from his coma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played RW w/Petey & Mik, played C w/Petey & Mik & now played C w/Miller & Boeser. Toccy trying to figure out where he belongs....sigh...maybe try him on the 3rd line!

Kurtis Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Gawdzukes said: Ummm, he let his man go on a clear breakaway and two-hand cross checked him in the back as he went to shoot. Why wouldn't it be a penalty? Petty has been god awful of late regardless of points. In fact he’s had many stretches this seasons and past where he’s been terrible defensively. Personally I’m not a fan of him. He’s a great player, but spews soiled arrogant brat. Edited February 10 by Kurtis 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 These games are the ones where it’s hard to maintain focus. Late in the season road trip with stupid start times. Hard to keep the effort up. Im not too concerned, but they need to finish strong and get back home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JamesB Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 (edited) Disappointing loss. Here are some things that stuck out for me. 1. Hey, 50% is not bad. We have all been getting greedy after the Canucks 20-2-2 run. (I think that is what it was.) Realistically, on a tough eastern road trip like this playing good teams if you can go 50% that is a win. So far the Canucks have 3 points out of a possible 6. Going to Washington on "morning" back-to-back won't be easy but the Canucks are the better team and the Canucks should be favored against Chicago. So the Canucks have a good shot to get 50% or better on this road trip. 2. Canucks were the better team today. Mistakes hurt. Some summary stats from Natural Stat Trick: All-strength scoring chances were 35-20 for the Canucks, High danger chances were 17-8 and expected goals were 3.72 to 2.02. Those are pretty big differences. You don't usually lose when the ice tilts in your direction that much. Some big mistakes cost the Canucks this game. 3. Hoglander. This game showed why a lot of people were happy to see Hoggy moved to the top six (replacing Mik on Petey's line). On the first goal I was saying to myself -- yeah this is why Hoggy should be there. But, he took a bad penalty early in the third and Detroit scored on the PP. Hoggy did not move his leg much but it was an obvious trip. It was a completely useless O-zone penalty as the Canucks were going to get possession of the cleared puck anyway. It was just poor discipline. Then, on the third Detroit goal, he lost a puck battle battle behind the net and did not get in a good position to defend. So maybe he should not be in the top 6. He brings skill and energy, but his game is undisciplined. 4. The D. After Zadorov was ejected, the others D's played well. Myers of course make a terrible play to give up the first goal. He just wasn't engaged to start the game, which is not surprising with the early start. But after that he was pretty good. Still not good enough to justify his cap hit, of course, but pretty good. Hughes and Hronek were excellent and Cole and Juulsen also played well. 5. Petey. Nice to see Petey come back with a big game after playing poorly in Boston. 6. Other forwards. In the underlying stats, both the Miller line and Garland line were very good. Mik has been taking a lot of flak, but he played well and made a nice play to spring Hronek on his goal. Overall, I feel pretty good about this game. The Canucks were the better team despite the start time. They were hurt by some correctable mistakes and were a bit unlucky. DeSmith has not bad but probably would normally be expected to come up with one more big save. Edited February 10 by JamesB 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 26 minutes ago, kilgore said: Thought the same. Less of a crosscheck, more of a shove from behind. Isn't that allowed? It's a judgement call but an easy one for me. First he cheats on the coverage, and for some reason totally loses his man for a clear cut breakaway. Then he catches up and cheats again by hitting him in the back to make up for his mistake. Easy call in my experience of hockey, and the right one. Of course if you look at it from the Canucks viewpoint then you can make a case that it was more of a nudge ... but he caused it himself. Called more times than not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other player who can match those stats is Hronek. And yes Hughes sucked balls today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I also think we have to judge games in stretches and now that the pressure is increasing and are becoming more important we are watching how the team responds. So far, they haven’t responded well which is concerning. People saying they have won throughout the year and to calm down. I get that but the games are so much different now. I think the games down the stretch will tell us way more about this team than the games played earlier in the year. Right now they have failed so far with pressure. It is concerning. Do they have the players who handle pressure well? So far it doesn’t look good. I think they are starting to listen to headlines and are not working hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
