DownUndaCanuck Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I thought the reffing was fairly good right up until the Hughes high stick which was laughable. He also gets slew footed and the Petey board I can understand not getting called because we got away with a couple of little plays here and there, but for then to call that "interference" on Suter against McDavid was the biggest joke ever in such a physical game. Suter bumps McDavid who isn't going anywhere but you know that's a status call. Regardless of the bad officiating we stopped playing in the 3rd. We looked tired and timid and have to be far more aggressive. I think the same goes for the PK - stop sitting back and just attack them. Let them have the puck up high but they're dangerous once they get down low so go straight to them, don't just let McDavid and Draisaitl cycle along the side to pick a pass - rush them then and there. Let Bouchard and Hyman play pass instead. You could see we were being overly cautious but that doesn't work either. Obviously if we're too aggressive they could pass around us and catch us (a bit like the McDavid goal) but it's the only way to play. Can't be so passive all period long like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller + Garland lines' dominate play vanished. Pettersson line acutually played better. McDavid line was dangerous every shift, we had a spotlight on him every time he stepped on the ice in game 1, don't know why that disappears in game2. And their powerplay is so dangerous because their 2 superstars are so mobile, can make sick passes and can snipe the puck. Feels retarded to say this, but it looks like we really can't give them powerplays. McDavid was playing withe Draisitle the whole night. That was the difference. We can easily contain them individually but together they are a force that maybe no line in the nhl can contain effectively. Question is if they can keep it up playing half of the game like they did tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Here's a question... McDavid clearly turns his head & sees Hughes there... In that tight of space what is he doing raising his stick??? . Didn't think it at first, but looks intentional no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was by accident, your first reaction would be to look down at the damage you have caused to the fallen player. He just looks casually away as if he already expected the outcome.

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I'd be pretty happy with our first 2 games apart from that passive 3rd period. We can easily take it to them and beat them. The loaded top line is a problem though, wonder if we play Lindholm with Miller to help shut them down, Blueger back to Joshua's line and hope Petey can give us enough depth scoring? Not sure if it'd help loading our defensive centers like that. I don't think we should make any changes either going into next game. Silovs was very sturdy, DeSmith wouldn't have been able to do any better there. Just got to hope that our depth can outlast their top end scoring but our D can't give them 4 points a night each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocchet says it's fine to make 1 mistake but when you make another 1 on top of 1 then that's the problem.. it's part of playing within structure which they have been preaching. I think because it would have been a 3 on 1 with mcDavid having the puck, and meyers isn’t exactly the fastest skater. For me, Soucy was the big mistake there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big tell for me is afterward. If he's just moving his stick to accept the oncoming pass that's one thing, but he doesn't even attempt to grab it nor does he look concerned with it going by him.

Why step up on Hyman when McD is rushing up ice right there with him. Know who your out against, brutal play by Soucy. Yep bad play... they contained them so well... it doesn't take much for McD to score or set up a goal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers hurt something before that. May be he thought he'd get blown past by McDavid so he took the gamble. It was Soucy who shouldn't have pinched in knowing McDavid's line was on the ice with a 3-2 lead in the 3rd period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just pretty happy... we should be very happy. Oilers is being hailed one of the favourite and we've gone toe to toe with them. Petey brike his duck and played a good game, Hughes is a real warrior and Brock is scoring for fun. Zad and the D in general has shown, they are strong.

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Good to hear Tocchet's post game interview echo the same sentiments - we didn't pressure their stars enough, gave them too much respect and just flipped pucks out instead of making plays. We looked scared and the pressure got to everyone when they saw the two stars together. Have to go into next game and treat them with less respect and almost just like any other top line. We've dominated other team's top lines by playing confidently and have to do the same next game. There's going to be a lot of bad matchups in the next game, you know they'll target our 4th line and Petey as well any chance they get so can't just flip pucks out. Everyone's probably scared they'll get stripped of the puck moving up ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RWJC Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Hate to say it but when it gets ugly like we saw on QH, you send a guy like PDG out to accidentally on purpose do the same thing back. I don’t care what ppl say, McDavid is a dirty player at times and gets away with it. A very hard slash above the gloves would be a wake up call and still is part of the game. The game should be played with some honour, but at times it takes a couple ugly plays to remind the opposition what the stakes are. That high stick on QH was not accidental 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me lose respct for the league when things like this happen. I cheer for the Canucks cause they have been my team since day one. Win or lose. But the league it self can suck it. I am expecting things like Sutherland. I still cheer for the guys. But as soon as the Canucks are out I'm out. We as fans are helpless to change anything. Maybe a Sutherland you suck chant all next game we are stuck with him officiating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict he'lll be sacrificed for other signings like Big "Z" and Joshua amongst a couple of others and once he doesn't have QH on his side to make hiom look good, he'll be just another $4M defenceman. This management team has shown they are not worried about moving on from a player (horvat) if they feel their ask is to high. Some of these salary demands league wise are getting crazy. I definitely agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
