Bure10Kuzmenko96 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Two fluke goals for LA and a Poughty dive wins them the game. Canucks played well, but sometimes they don't get the bounces 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Boudrias Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 6 hours ago, JamesB said: Not going to be too upset with this loss after 3 straight wins. And the Canucks deserved at least a point tonight and probably deserved to win. 1. In terms of the underlying stats, the Canucks were the better team. The all-strength scoring chances were 29-13 for the Canucks and the high danger chances were 15-6. The expected goals were 3.22 to 1.76. Part of the reason for the lopsided numbers was that LA was protecting a lead while the Canucks were the "chasing" team. But still, with those numbers you expect to win about 75% of the time. 2. The Canucks got a lucky goal but two of the Kings goals were pretty lucky. And the other LA goal was the result of a couple of bad plays by Boeser (who looked gassed at the end of a shift) and the Canucks not having enough guys on the ice (slow change). 3. No real complaints about DeSmith but he was not great tonight. On the third LA goal he just failed to hold on to the puck. On the second goal, it was a bad bounce off Soucy but with a bit better positioning or better quickness, he makes the save. 4. LA played their usual defensive game but, even so, the Canucks were able to get quite a few good chances. If the two teams meet in the playoff and a healthy Demmer is in the net for the Canucks, I am pretty happy with that matchup. 5. Hughes played mostly with Myers tonight and they were very good. Hronek played mostly with Z. and they were not great--certainly the weakest of the three pairings both by the stats and by the eye test (although they did match up mostly against Kopitar). I am glad that the Canucks are testing Hronek to see if he is really as good as he looks when playing with Hughes. He isn't. He is good, but not 8 million dollars good. He has been tested several times this year to see if he can "drive" a shutdown pairing and the results have not been great. If he wants more than 7 on a long term deal I would trade him this summer. 6. Nice to see Lafferty get on the board, with Podz making a nice play (although he did not get an assist). And Mikheyev continues to play well and not get bounces. 7. Tonight, the team with the better goalie and with better luck got the win. But the Canucks still inched closer to clinching a playoff spot with St Louis losing in OT. One more Canuck win will be enough. Hope it comes Thursday against Dallas. Thanks JamesB I always enjoy reading your observations. Whether LA or Vegas the Canucks will be ready. They have the best coaching staff the org has ever assembled. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team needs Lindholm, forward group was not good in their own end tonight in my opinion. 1st Kings goal was unacceptable, can’t happen. Also we need to stop looking for the perfect play in a game like this. Just shoot everything on net. !00%.... Crash the flipping net, and good things happen....Physically we more than matched the Kings... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad both the coaching staff and management are doing their due diligence regarding the player. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyone Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm actually looking forward to watching LA dismember the Oilers in the first round. 5 games, 6 at the most. then watch McDoofus whine like crazy..... oh, boo hoo, they checked us too hard and the ref's didn't call 10 pp's for us each game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker67 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Playoff-like intensity at times. These teams are learning to hate each other. Canucks held up okay, by the looks of it, they seemed to hand out a lot more hits. Would they be a lot better with Demko, Lindholm and Joshua? Absolutely. Petey needs to start elevating his game, especially as the pre-playoff intensity ramps up. Hey Petey, if Lafferty can do it, so can you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be able to handle the puck to be able to do that though. From watching him it seems like his mind is moving quicker than his hands and he’s constantly mishandling the puck. This is why Tocchet has been on him about his practice habits. Some games he looks super dialed in and confident, other games he looks like he has no idea what to do with the puck.

Popular Post Darth Canuck Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 A few years ago, I helped my father in law build a temporary fence on the farm. We using large 4” nails, which were about 1/4 thick. I would rather put one of those nails under a torch and get it red hot and drive that red hot nail into my eye than watch LA Kings style hockey. Holy crap how on earth can any fan be happy to support such boring knuckle-dragging style. Kings second goal. Envision Count from Sesame Street…. 1, 1 deflection ha ha ha.. 2, 2 deflections ha ha ha… 3, 3 deflections ha ha ha… 4, 4 deflections ha ha ha…. (First off Cole, then 3 (!) off Soucy). (Brock’s goal was luck too, but he actually trying to pass to JT, only 1, 1 deflection) Canucks controlled most of the game, and were playing hard 4 line hockey until that 3 minute span in the second.

In that scenario you’re in a game 7 before you know it and the series can be decided off a goal like that. No thanks. Trap hockey should be dead and buried. Only teams that play not to lose play that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip The Mesh Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Went over most of the tape and what strikes-out is the Canucks have got to get better with their line changing. Every team they play will have a different system on it but ours needs some fine tuning. The Kings were able to make their changes at will, yet we had home ice and didn't counter. Seems we have most of our problems in the second periods of games. Almost becoming a pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -dlc- Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 12 hours ago, iinatcc said: As I've said before, if there is any hopes for the Canucks to go deep into the playoffs they need to avoid LA at all cost. The hope is LA doesn't drop to the Wild Card spot Vancouver will have to face or they end up facing Edmonton (who have proven successful against LA in the playoffs) Ridiculous. You've said a lot of things this year, mostly that other teams will slay it in the playoffs and we won't. I'm not as blinded by a flukey win that could've gone either way. The only reason LA won was a couple of lucky bounce off your ass type goals. We outshot them and outhit them 47-25. We carried a lot of the play and, really, just got outgoaltendered. They also blocked a lot of shots...that'll take a toll over time. They're not the big bad boys that some make them out to be. Pouty is a good example of their "leadership" and culture. Yes, it was a penalty. But also an Academy award performance as well. 1 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True my biggest reason for not wanting to play them is mostly for entertainment purposes. Our first real playoffs in 9 years should not be grind it out trap hockey. I wanna see some skill and some back and forth hockey. Only thing worse than losing a playoff series would be losing a playoff series and getting zero entertainment value out of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pickly Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 Difference in that game was a couple of lucky bounces and goaltending. DeSmith seems to struggle with rebound control. Also, that first goal was a direct result of a bad line change. For whatever reason the Canucks seem to struggle with line changes. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
