SV. Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Refs discourse is weird. The past two games weren't great from an officiating standpoint, but at 5-2 up, you probably have to see that through, regardless? Canucks are a great team this year - let's raise and maintain the standards a bit here and say that the team goofed just as bad as the refs in these past two games. 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. Shades of Patrick Roy's last game as a hab. There was no point in Tochett pulling De-Smith given tomorrow's game. And we pulled within one. Odd odd odd. Throw it out and have a short memory. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Neilsons Towel Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 36 minutes ago, -dlc- said: 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. They can still see a puck that was covered 3 times to keep the play alive, but can also somehow see a puck go into the net that didn’t. Immeasurable talent. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand that you simply don't understand hockey. When the refs called that goal that wasn’t, that’s incompetence, not blowing the play dead when DeSmith covered it up is BS and gave the Wild a goal, then that roughing call to give them a 2 man advantage, the call on Petey for another 2 man was weak, if you don’t think this affects a team you simply don’t understand hockey. 1 5 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 5-2 weathering a 5on4 and 5on3 penalty is fine….its the 4x5-3s that kills. It killed everything. RT shoulda took a timeout after the last 5on3 goal to get everybody back on task to close out the 5on4. once again, as someone posted, this is just not all on the refs. The Blueger and Miller penalties you have to call; we need to eliminate those from our game. To many high sticks in the last few games; they always get called.

Yeah, no doubt that the team was put into an impossible situation with the 5v3s, but as you say, probably on coach to take a timeout and sort it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If you look at the Canucks history doesn’t it always feel like we have struggled with pressure and staying composed. It’s never felt we had a team that doesn’t crumble under pressure or struggles with composure. This team might need veterans to calm things down. When has this team ever had pressure?

But this team is learning some valuable lessons. The loss against Winnipeg sucks, and today's loss is just horrible. Giving up 10 goals is never a good look, and it ain't a good look on DeSmith, who has been for the most part really good this season.

Warhippy Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The ability of the Canucks to play down to teams outside of or barely in the playoffs has been an ongoing issue for quite a while. Regardless of where this team sits in the standings, the record they have regarding teams on the bubble or outside of the playoffs is concerning. As they will draw the 7th or 8th team in the west who will have been battling hard all year, this trend is one that needs to be addressed because it has the same level of potential stink as the 2012-2013 playoffs against the Kings and Sharts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fucking bullshit. TBH. Our PP could have scored they didn't theirs did. Our PK could have killed they didn't theirs did. Sure the refs suck they always do. I don't care if we play'd the entire 3rd short handed our PK can't let in 7. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was derailed by the refs. We were dominating until refs decided otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
