drdeath Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The Minnesota Wild had more 5 on3s (4) than the Vancouver Canucks had power plays (3). How many times in NHL history has that occurred? The league got the outcome they wanted, move on to the next one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it wasn't 14 or 15 to 7 honestly. The team looked comatosed the last half of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes players gut it out and return even when injured and then next game they are out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeNiro Posted February 19 Popular Post Share Posted February 19 Just now, D.B Cooper said: Reffing aside, we have blown it tonight, against Boston, Jets, Avs, knights. All the top teams. We feast on bottom teams and blow it when it matters. This isn’t a ‘this team sucks’ post. They are obviously great a lot of the time. Im concerned about what happens when the going gets tough. They seem to be mentally weak and prone to break down the few times they feel actual push back. Stop. Breath. Take a step back. This team was literally undefeated in regulation when leading after two before today. What are you even talking about? They’ve literally been the best team in the league at protecting leads. It seems like some fans don’t know how to not micro-focus on the season. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking mama Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) What the hell happened to the anticipated defensive struggle? How many times were the Canucks called to be 2-men down?? I saw a bit of the mayhem in the thir…but good grief! Be constant - zebras, that’s all we ask. A fluctuating standard is frustrating for everyone!! Gheeez!! I don’t know how they accomplish quality-control over officiating in the NHL, maybe rankings by players & coaches should have a little something to do with it,…so that inept pairings are avoided, and duds don’t work or get awarded marquee games. I dunno! Thoughts? Edited February 19 by viking mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every goalie has a stinker once in awhile. DeSmith has been very good all season and you want to dump him after one bad game? Glad you are not running the team. The guy has been horrible ever since the calendar turned to 2024. It isn't just one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course half this fanbase wants to dump him. Get with the program. Alvin should package Desmith, Mikeyev and Juulson and dump them all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pycnotic Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) First off let’s get this out of the way the officials were definitely punishing them for the comments after the WPG game, that’s obvious. That being said; 2 of the 5 on 3’s we’re legitimate, miller shot the puck over the glass and Blueger high sticked a guy for no reason, the other 2 were terrible calls, the league was sending a message don’t criticize the officials publicly. de smith was garbage again that’s 3 in a row, he has to be better, need to get demko rest down the stretch and can’t have your backup costing you games. the powerplay even though they got 2 was terrible, and when they needed one late in the third was awful, something has to change here I get why tochett didn’t call his timeout of the hat trick as the time to clean up should have allowed them to refocus but then they gave up 2 more right away The 4th line needs to be better Lafferty, Aman and PDG is not working, they haven’t done anything for a while, the Canucks were most successful when they can roll 4 lines, but this line is terrible, time for some changes there Juulsen had another rough game, he needs to sit one out, he went for a hit in the corner for no reason and took himself out of the play, then right after makes a terrible pass that ended up in the back of the net, and next shift lost his man for 3 goals in a row, that’s now 2 games in a row where he cost his team the game Edited February 19 by Pycnotic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT'S THE ONLY REASON THEY LOST. when he said that I wanted to throw up honestly. Its like they get the word from on high, as the official NHL station. I don't think I've ever heard them really come down on the reffing. Never a reason with them....ever. Not even a big factor in the game. Its mostly excuses. "other teams can complain too", "the Canucks just weren't moving their feet", "It all evens out during the season". Blah blah blah Yeah I get sick of hearing that kind of wimpiness too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 it's hard to believe that this team is actually 1st in the league. Top teams don't collapse like this. I think this will be a rough last half of the season. Hopefully the Canucks can win at least 8 to 10 games to make it to the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks780 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Did we even use a timeout. The tying goal in the 3rd wouldve been a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
