DeltaSwede Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This is such an apologetic view point but I think it holds some truth. The Canucks have had their doubters all season long and the goal posts keep moving when they disprove the critics. Adversity. That's the last piece of the recipe. This team, this season, needs to face adversity. Adversity came on knocking in a massive way tonight. Easy to turn negatives into positives when you're #1 in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post End2End Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 I found it to be a very entertaining game! No we didn’t win and yes the reffing was not the best. The team kinda fell apart for a few minutes there and it cost them. But who cares it’s just a game, we are still in first place and miller got a hat trick! A person needs gum boots to get through all the tears in here today….yeesh. 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think getting goaltending like that and having to battle through FOUR 5 on 3’s tells us anything? Give your head a shake. This game was on shameful reffing and DeSmith having a rough night nothing more. The team battled their asses off and were the much better team when they weren’t shorthanded. Thank you... Couldn't have said it any better myself... At some stage we were going to get a slap, and yet we scored 7 goals... 4 5on3s... don't think I've ever seen that before... The play where the puck was under DeSmith and then twice covered by Lindholm, was the poorest part of the refereeing. They all hammered away at the keeper, while 5 on 3... thought it was really poor by the ref. But shouldn't really surprised since they managed to see a good goal with the puck entering from the side of the goal... In saying all that... the team need to stop taking weak high sticks penalties... On to the next one... PS. Congrats Miller... nice hatty.

I.AM.THE.WALRUS Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hey they will bounce back… this is a good team… they need to get refocused on the essentials and play disciplined structured defensive hockey… and stop taking stupid penalties… Stop blaming reffs even if they blow dead bears… Go Canucks go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Dang sucks to score 7 and lose! Didn’t know it was an early game so I didn’t get to see but I was surprised to see on the box score that the coach hung DeSmith out to dry leaving him in for all 10 goals. Should he have been pulled? Could the game had been saved if he was pulled around 6 goals against? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 46 minutes ago, Northern_Nuck said: I hope the Canucks eat the $200,000 fine and criticize the reffing and allude to a fix. Refs took the momentum away unfortunately, a misfortunate high stick and puck over the glass, fully shifted the momentum to Minnesota. Who shifted the momentum, the refs, or the brutal plays by Zadorov and Miller? (I'll give you a clue, it's Zadorov and Miller ... unfortunately) Those aren't calls you can just not call subjectively. Some people are so blinded by the Jets game and completely referee jaded that they are somehow compounding those feelings into the game today. As a ref you have to call those penalties, you can't give the Canucks players in those situations the same leeway you would with an accidental trip or something like that. If you don't understand that you simply don't understand hockey. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 5 minutes ago, -dlc- said: I'm almost scared to watch tomorrow's game. Could it get any worse? It's a scheduled loss. If they play a decent road game, then that's all I care. They may not win, but need to play much better esp in the third if they are tied or have a lead. Special teams need to be better. Tonight it's tough to gauge given how many 5 on 3 and lucky bounces off skates. But regardless, special teams vs elite teams need to be good, especially PK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
