If we aren't careful the Oilers are going to sneak on up and take the division - say what you want, but you know it's true. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get back in sooner than later to get his confidence back. Swap the goaltender starts on the last two games, and perhaps the results would be vastly different.

LOL, sure. Yes, the refs were awesome. I love their ability to see covered pucks, that's incredible. Skillz. 100 people piled up in the crease but they still managed to find the puck in there from20 feet behind with their eyes closed. And I especially loved it when they blew down play for that goal we almost missed that they made up. Whew, thank God they're on the ball though. Petey got a penalty for them almost missing that. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blaming him outright - but he did let in afew doozies but was hung out to dry mainly by the Refs and our D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Man Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 4 minutes ago, TheRev said: You score 7 goals and still lose convincingly. Not a cup contender. DeSmith couldn't stop a beach ball today. Officiating certainly didn’t help, but a loose undisciplined effort. The thing is DeSmith won't be playing in the playoffs (hopefully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 minute ago, DownUndaCanuck said: Worst game of the year obviously and no surprise we haven't looked good since Joshua's been out. He really ties that 3rd line together. Mikheyev sucks the energy right out of it. Don't need to dissect this game too much, we did a lot of good in the first 40 minutes, played with great pressure 5-on-5 but special teams destroyed us. I know some of those penalties against us weren't warranted by Miller's delay of game cost us the game IMO and started the crumbling. We were doing alright until that stupid play. Bleuger's high stick was just as bad. I know it's an early game but contenders don't give up 10 goals in a game. Not many playoff teams do. Not many teams in the league drop a lead like that. There was a lot of panic on the ice tonight, the coaches talk so much about meeting pressure with pressure and we did exactly the opposite. The Avs won't be kind to us. Depends on the point of view. The game was a gongshow reminds me the games of last season when the Canucks were terrible but the games were never dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hammertime Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 Adversity is good! Better now than in the 1st round. We obviously need to adjust. Don't learn as much from wins as losses. Can't blame the ref's every game even if they suck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 23 minutes ago, Miss Korea said: I don't want to hear any excuses about how this is 100% the refs' fault The special teams have been poor for multiple games now and a lack of discipline is a major contributor to the losses. Bad reffing is only part of the problem and it's hiding the fact we've made some costly mistakes directly leading to goals. They need to better. You’re right. Not 100%, but at least 50% when it shouldn’t even be a factor. We shouldn’t have to beat the other team AND poor officiating. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season they never let it happen often at all and always came back with a good game. I think they will turn it around. They might not win tomorrow, but will have a good game.

That's not just sour grapes from me.. with all the money now spent on legal gambling I’m shocked some local government hasn’t started investigations cause this one was obvious at the start they were punishing the Canucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farinush Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 2 minutes ago, drdeath said: This was called to give the Wild a 5 on 3 power play. For fun I started counting the number of times Wild players made this much contact on Canucks that didnt have the puck in the thid period without a penalty being called and I gave up once i hit 10: Unbelievable lol. It’s one thing to turn your head and miss a call but it’s another thing to make a conscious decision to make that call. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine fans complain about the refs when they get the calls they don't like. Heck, I remember Bruins fans calling out the refs in that 2012 game againts Vancouver.
