Blue Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Hronek gets you to the playoffs so that Zad can do damage in the playoffs. You can't build just for the playoffs. Then you won't make them 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Water Walker Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 What a great game! What a great series! What a great Canucks season, so far! First round trial by fire in the playoffs, so happy for the whole organization and the fan base, this has been so much fun, and the boys aren't done!

Popular Post syntheticity Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 (edited) 2 hours ago, Hammertime said: That's LA's game they beat us with, and got slaughterd by EDM with. I think we die on the vine we won on in Nash. IMO they should stay on them, be aggressive don't surrender the neutral zone, defense starts at their blueline ("Boudreau") meet pressure with pressure ("Tocchet"). They play in their own zone like their on the PK. Smother them. If we start trying to shell around Sliovs they'll pick our bones. No it's not. LA plays a 1-3-1 system intended to clog up the neutral zone. Edmonton cracked that using their speed through the neutral. By contrast, we use a 1-2-2 system that leverages solid defensive positioning and stick work to limit opponents' chances and transition the puck out of our d zone quickly. This system is not inherently conservative. Rather, it focuses on smart, positionally sound aggression. That's what worked for us all year and what plays to our strengths. In the Nash series, it produced a lower event series because of how Nash played. Applying this same system against Edm has the potential to really slow down & frustrate them and exploit their weaknesses, as it often did during the regular season. No way Tocchet tries to reinvent their team system now, nor should he. Edited May 4 by syntheticity 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Hey what’s the truth behind having Shorty call or not call the Canucks through the Canucks run on SN ? Based on all the commentary I’ve heard across the nation , HE should be NATIONAL. Edited May 4 by SilentSam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Tocchet tries to reinvent their team system now, nor should he. The difference will be number of blocked shot attempts. Vancouver will find it a lot easier to get pucks on the net. I'm hoping Petey just ramps up in game 1 and just shots from everywhere. And gets his mojo back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guntrix Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 2 hours ago, Nucker67 said: Oilers fans: Hells yeah! We get to play the Canucks! McDavid: Aww fuck, we have to play the Canucks. The regular season games mean nothing, though. This is a much better Oilers team than the one the Canucks played earlier in the season. But saying that, McDavid will be faced with a task playing against the Canucks Big Ds. McDiver vs the Canucks PK. Gonna be a battle. I also love that this is a clean slate for the Canucks. Petey and others have a chance to redeem themselves. We need to keep out of the box if we want to take this series. Hopefully McDavid vs our PK isn’t a conversation we end up having a lot.

People fawned over Tram because of the size of his frame, yet ignored that the fact that he didn’t have the heart or determination to match.

Gurn Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 3 hours ago, Kragar said: Was watching the TNT feed, sadly. There was talk about follow through, but the slow replay from another angle showed follow through and then a change of direction on the stick, IIRC bracing for the hit. Deserved a penalty. was disappointed with 4 mins, since it didn't look bad enough to draw blood. Shit happens. Some high sticks look insanely violent and don't draw blood. We weren't so lucky there. But what a nice PK it was! 4 mins, and we had the best chance to score. Would've done wonders for Petey's confidence if he had roofed that one. If player A gets a high sticking penalty because player B skated into the stick, which did not seem to be moving--can player C force an elbowing call against player D if player C hits that elbow with his head? That penalty was just wacked imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That penalty was just wacked imo. both calls against us were shite. Boeser didn't have any responsibility there for buddy skating into his follow through. John Garret called Nyquist "Greg Louganis" 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
