Popular Post BC_Hawk Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 11 hours ago, J-23 said: We win that game with Lindholm, Demko and Joshua. 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. You see the value of Lindholm in a game like that...the little things. I am getting tired of people making it sound like the Cam Neely trade 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Johngould21 Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 72 games into one of the most successful seasons in Canuck history, and we've got folks on this board fretting over a 3-2 loss to a team like that. Two lucky bounces (deflections), and a sloppy change lead to two of their goals. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arsenalian Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 11 hours ago, RU SERIOUS said: That's Brock for you. If you watch him closely you'll see he nothing but an oportunity Shooter one Trick pony. No More - No less. He is slow, uncoordinated, can't pass well, doesn't forecheck or bcakcheck, can't stickhandle, won't chase someone down (as you mentioned) and has never carried a puck across the Blue line in his life - only dumps it in and scatters. But he is one heck of a Shooter and the only reason he's still on the team. Just watch him very closely next game if you need any convincing. Mikey D, Eddie Veder, and RU SERIOUS. The 3 remaining Brock doubters. Lol. Not sure what games you 3 are watching. Is he streaky, yes. Is he as much of a defensive liability as you make him out to be? Nope. Is he a core part of this team? Yup. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulcap Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I missed the first two periods. Did hughes-myers do much? I like hughes-hronek much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no point splitting up Hughes and Hronek at this stage of the game. Seemed like a message was being sent to him more than anything. The pairs were fine, execution needs to be better especially clearing the crease. Edited March 26 by DeNiro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two lucky bounces (deflections), and a sloppy change lead to two of their goals. My only concern was their ability to create the type of chances that you need to create to score in those games. Not nearly enough pucks and bodies to the net. Would have liked to see a little more jam in that regard. Our physical play, our pk, and our defending in general was really good though.

Strawbone Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The Kings are lame and boring and we would beat them in a 7-game series so I'm not too worried about the loss. Just some unlucky bounces and a big mistake on a line change. I wouldn't want to face them in the playoffs just because they make games so awful to watch. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably alternate DJ on 3rd/4th line while he gets his wheels back. AOnce up to speed, I'd be tempted to try DJ or Podz on the Petey line, and get the 3rd line really rolling again (DJ/Podz-Lindholm-Garland). Great options with DJ back...lots of depth...just need to ensure Petey gets the talent to keep him going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time there is a potential big trade/signing, any time things don't appear to be right, we immediately jump to the worst case scenario.

Popular Post AnthonyG Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 Vancouver played a nearly air tight defensive game in their own end and managed to expose LAK in the same area’s over and over. One bad line change with some miscommunication and a couple unfortunate bounces and thats really all LAK got for chances. VAN had quite a few attempts in close, just couldn’t get that fortuitous bounce. 5v5 we were still able to get in close for chances. LAK didnt feel threatening at all. Our PK was excellent, PP still needs some work All situations CF 58 CA 35 SF 23 SA 19 SCF 28 SCA 13 HDCF 14 HDCA 6 xGF 3.04 xGA 1.76 5v5 CF 41 CA 28 SF 15 SA 15 SCF 20 SCA 9 HDCF 10 HDCA 4 xGF 2.06 xGA 1.02 LAK had to work a lot harder to create offence than we did. We did not get outplayed. 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will figure out how to beat boring defensive games. As others have said, prob need more jam, net front presence and greasy goals. Anway, better for us to figure it out now vs game 3 when we are down 0-2 in the series. We beat them on most metrics besides the score. Some tweaking of strategy and those guys are toast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpnChange Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Tough loss in a dreadfully boring game. Need allot more from #40 and not just based off last night. We see how long the week to week diagnosis for Dakota has been, Let's hope it's not the same for #35. A healthy roster heading into P.Os is the best we can hope for. Go Canucks!

Gawdzukes Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) 3 hours ago, DeNiro said: Yea but the way the Kings play every game is a 50/50 game based on one of those greasy goals. 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. Yup, Kings can win any game almost based on taking advantage of opportunities, bounces, and smothering heavy defence. That's why they are a tough out in a 7 game series ... although they've lost the last two first rounds ... 4-2 and 4-3 to the Oilers. I have no problem with defensive hockey, do what it takes to win and let everyone else whine and complain about it. I'm sure their fans care more about winning than beautiful hockey. They play a playoff brand and will be stiff competition. To be honest we play a very similar same type of structured play. We have game breakers though and we score some nice goals.

I've seen LA being put in a lower tier than the top contenders in the West and I don't see it. The only team that concerns me more is a healthy Vegas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great options with DJ back...lots of depth...just need to ensure Petey gets the talent to keep him going. Yup. I actually kind of forgot about Mikheyev too when I was speculating. You're spot on, so many options. I liked Hoglander on that fourth line but he's become to valuable ... he's got to be further up in the line-up so I would totally agree. I think Lindholm could end up being a pretty key piece in the post-season ... I just hope he's healthy. I mean I really think that Blueger might be better off on line 3 than Lindholm if they reunite DJ and Garland, which would maybe push Lindholm up with Miller and Boeser or Petey again.
