After that first goal, Avs kept getting stronger in the third, and the Canucks got weaker the entire period. Ya they just seem to play scared. They needed to keep pushing forward and they sat back. Different game than they were playing the first two periods. Not sure why they changed up their game. Avs pushed and we just couldn’t handle it.

The 3rd period was one of the worst of the season. Not as bad as the Wild game. I think they didn't handle the pressure well early and took penalties. But settled down after 3-3. The penalty at the final min was self induced. Plenty of room to skate further then clear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Miss Korea Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 Just now, -dlc- said: Av's .... all they need is Tony Granato standing on their bench yelling and pointing a finger and they'll be all set. Just like old times. Dirty. Diving. Divas. I feel confident that this team would whip their sorry asses if the refs didn't swoop in to save them just in the nick of time. We have to be better and expect that to happen. It does....don't unravel or change the game plan. I sure hope Nate's ok after that brutal side swipe he took. Was quite dramatic. Yet Huggy gets clipped. Helter Skelter Manson tries to take JT's head off. Seems legit. That's their game plan I guess. I'm angry because I feel shortchanged in a game that this team was dominating. I'd like it to be a fair fight, but whatever. This is bush league stuff. And the team does have to respond better when the refs suit up for the other team. I'm just glad JT's ok. They won't keep him down for long...he'll disassemble the Avs all on his own. No one gives a shit about dirty diving divas as long as they get the win. History doesn't remember the poor officiating or the poor sportsmanship. It remembers wins and losses. You always seem to blame the refs after every single loss or any call gone against us. Even as a fan, take some accountability and recognize that shit happens and the team buckled. Accept the reality that we lost and move on from it. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was that playing to win? And how was this on the refs? It was not. It was on the Nux and their coaches. Anyone whining about the refs is an idiot on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) With the Preds winning, losing this game might not be the worst thing ever. Still blowing a 3-0 leads feels so much like last season Edited March 14 by iinatcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanagan Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Captain Kirk said: So refs deciding games again i see? Nucks better hope they don't play the Avs in the playoffs, they haven't beat them this year, When you think you can defend with your brain instead of your feet it always happens, a million possible penalties so more than enough get called. JT is always the first guy I notice who takes his foot off the gas. He is our best player, the rest follow his lead.

farinush Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The last 7 minutes of the game was just getting hemmed in for 20-30 seconds before skating the puck out to neutral ice to flip into the ozone for a quick change and then rinse and repeat. While I appreciate the spirit of quick changes, we needed to slow the game down. We’ve been able to stay composed in the past but we didn’t have it tonight. We needed to find a way to slow the game down and settle the pace to then find a rhythm. petey was bobbling the puck and forcing passes all game. He gets like this when he isn’t skating. He needs to step up… guys go through droughts and tough stretches but these stretches can’t be months at a time 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be different if Zads got tuned or something. They were outplaying the Canucks. Period. They didn't get a random magic stamina buff from a nothing fight.

You can't give a team like the Avs that many pp's and you can't quit skating. The had the AVS where they wanted them, then gifted them 2 points. No one to blame but themselves Wait which penalties did we give them? The phantom ones? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaribouCanuck Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It is super frustrating that they lost especially in the manner that they did (blowing a 3 - 0 lead) but on the other hand it was against arguably the best team in the NHL on paper and they still got a point against them. And the team is still on a 5 game point streak. Obviously none of this takes away from the huge mistakes the team made tonight which they really can't afford to do in the playoffs.

SV. Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Soft-ish 5v3 call just before the 3-2 goal, but good teams find a way to be professional and close things out. Hate to say it, but the team snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against an Avalanche team that wasn't even all that interested until the 3-2 goal. Let's sort it before Saturday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
