CanucksJay Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Wow I just realized we out PPd Edm last night 2 for 3 on the PP. If our special team comes alive, those guys are done. We killed 2 very important ones in the 3rd. We killed them pretty much every stat category except shots. I believe high danger was 7-6 for them I wonder who's playing goal for them next game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 At the end of the day, we started our AHL goalie last night, as well as two AHL forwards. And we still beat Edmonton. We can put in another 3-4 AHL players and still beat them. They are literally a one line team with one dman who knows how to defend and no goalie. Only way they win a cup is with the help of the refs and the league. Hopefully we are the team that puts an end to Gary Bettman's dream... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canucks fwds are very aggressive, just not risky. Every lose puck is contested and opposing players have no space. They only collapse into the diamond to minimize high danger chances, and to protect the crease. The Canucks absolutely dominate in front of their net; some due to our D size, but also their system. It is SO refreshing to finally be the team that does this. The fact that we got outshoot 22-3, but the HDSCs in that time period were 2-1 Oilers is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they do that for one period, or until they get a lead and then it's just curl up in the fetal position and protect their vital organs from serious damage. They had 7 shots in the last two periods last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks can break that forecheck they’ll destroy EDM going the other way I wonder if they'll work on that today. Im worried about the speed of Juulsen's puck retrieval and outlet pass. He's not going to have very much time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't win all that much, and needed Demko to stand on his head to make the HDSC saves on minimal shots. Now, we've flipped table....and get accused of being lucky, but we win alot! PDO is stat people use wrong; it is NOT an indication of luck in the longterm, it shows commitment to ensure our opportunities are HDSC vs fluff. You cant beat good goalies with fluff, so why waste offensive zone time with fluff shots w/o net presence (which would turn a chance to HDSC). To be honest, I love that they outshot us every night. Just makes their fans rag on Skinner and the team, while ignoring the true issues. They can stack up shots (and tears)...we will stack wins! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted May 14 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 14 DOPS once again proves to be horribly inconsistent. No shocker. Hyman is going to get hurt next game. He best pray that it’s Miller, Blueger or Joshua that tags him, as Zadorov will want to exact some revenge. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point everyone should just admit that this team do not waste shots. Out PDO is high partly due to great goaltending and how efficient we are with high danger chances. It is one thing to have high pdo when bunch of low to mid danger chances goes in and other when almost all goals are from high danger chances. It look ugly as heck but there is no denying the efficiency. Didn't we have almost the same high danger chances as Edmonton in the third despite the ice looking tilted in their favor? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whcanuck Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 3 hours ago, coolboarder said: I used to live in Eastern time zone before and missed a lot of Canucks game. If you do have PVR, use it and shut out all noise, no radio, no internet and watch the game whenever you can in the morning before you get on internet, radio, TV etc. unfortunately the only way to make that work would be to wake up at 5am to watch it. It’s a good idea in theory though. I work at a Sporting Goods store and they know I’m a Canucks fan so it’d be unlikely everyone would keep quiet about the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43isprime Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Forget about putting up points - can Pettersson please somehow impact the game offensively by helping with breakouts, zone entries, and/or creating offensive zone time?

It's so frustrating how little he's managing to accomplish. I have thought Petterson has been looking better and better as the series goes on. It is hard for him to stack the offensive stats when he’s playing with guys that have zero finish right now (Mik & Hogs). His PP has been great this series and his 200’ is very good…even being physical. Hogs and Mik have been frustrating to watch though.

He's way faster and better at handling the puck. It was obvious from just watching him for a few minutes. Skinner has been getting whooped by the Canucks all year. They have to try Pickard.
