Mordekai Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 8 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Our entire 3rd line has ZERO points in the last 6 games. Boeser has only scored in one out of the last 10 games. But somehow it is all Petey’s fault. How can an entire line have ZERO points in 6 games and people can claim it is playing well? I am not a petey whiner bruins game our entire allstar players sucked. today some turnovers that led to goals and desmith hasn’t played like he did earlier in thr year As coach said doesn’t matter if petey lines scores a few goals when they also were on for the same amount of goals against.

The Duke Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) 4 minutes ago, iinatcc said: Don't understand this schedule as justification of losing games. when east coast teams play in Vancouver isn't it like 10 pm in their body clock or something? Yeah, and home teams usually have an advantage. That would be part of it. Just because we get the advantage at home, doesn’t mean we don’t have it against us on the road. That’s also a 3 hour swing vs a 9 hour one. Are you denying this would have an impact? Because if not, the point stands.

Carolina, Boston and Detroit isn't an easy stretch of games and it's 1-1-1. Meh. You're so dramatic.. Jobbed in what way? You mean reffing? They were up 3-1 and blew the lead. You aren’t always going to get the calls in playoffs especially on the road. All they had to do was lock it down. Coach agreed as well. I am not going to use the refs as an excuse when they were up 3-1 and against a mediocre team like Detroit.

He just seems weak in that regard. I don’t know. McDavid seemed liked a whiney bitch, year after year when the team he leads got bounced in the playoffs. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has points but I don’t recall too many games where you could say he dominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not denying it but in the balance of 82 games the schedule is a non issue Plus Detroit and Boston will come to Vancouver soon after so we can see how big of a factor this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thinking a team can maintain intensity for 82 is on you. I suggest you watch teams other than the Canucks and you’ll see the same dips and valleys in play. I am saying the last 30 games will tell us way more about this club than the first half of the year. Intensity ramps up. How do they handle it? It’s three games but so far the last two have not been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is when you’re the top team in the NHL teams come at you and you don’t get any off nights.

I suggest you watch teams other than the Canucks and you’ll see the same dips and valleys in play. I went to a sports clinic once and decided to sit in on a Div 1 track coach. He went on a little tangent about “110%” saying that even if you gave “100%” you’d be dead based on the definition of giving literally everything. His big point was, you obviously need to keep working hard, be honest with yourself (or the athletes your coaching) but accept that there’s going to be peaks and valleys along the way. There’s going to be slow physical days where you focus on the mental side, days where you can’t think but push your body to the limit, days where it all comes together and days that are pretty crappy. It’s all about pushing for more great days than bad, and minimizing the down days but also not beating yourself up for having a sub optimal training session. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it we the 19th or 20th, I'd buy into fatigue. You can't/shouldn't be tired after having 9 days off. Tomorrow I may give you the tired excuse. But even then, come on. Fatigue wasn't the issue. They just played like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do we need to learn you can’t take nights/periods off? Just seems like this lesson is the hardest to learn.

Gawdzukes Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 40 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Meh, you gotta be aggressive in 3 on 3 sometimes. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn’t. Pettersson losing the puck and falling down along the boards led to that play. Yeah, you're right I'm not really doubting their strategy as it often works out too. Just an observation really. It's just not like real hockey where you actually care if you lose or not and you don't take chances like that. I'm glad the playoffs are not like that because it's too chancy and lame. lol Totally agree on Petterson too. I imagine Hughes was jumping up in the play to either anticipate a steal or break up the play. Didn't work though obviously but wow he sure let the gap go.

He has points but I don’t recall too many games where you could say he dominated. Then maybe your complaint about Petey should be that he doesn’t drive play. I could understand why some might think so, in spite of him being 5th in the NHL with 14 primary assists while playing 5 on 5. I would agree that Mc D is a better play driver then EP. I just didn’t understand the point about mental toughness and how that factors into driving play. Other factors such as skill, health, stamina, speed etc. are far more important, than mental toughness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
