The Canucks aren't a contender if they need their goaltender to win them a 4-1 game. 3rd 4th 5th 3rd and 4th clean look from up high. 5th, just what the heck was he thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) We played a stinker in game 2 last season. Difference is DeSmith bailed us out. These early season kinks are nothing new. Edited October 10 by DeNiro 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalian Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Oof, that was anti-climatic after that first period. Silovs should have stopped a couple of those, guess Lankinen is up next. But man, whole team just stopped playing after the first. Lucky to get a point there. Oh well, shake the rust off, put that one in the past and focus on the next game. On a side note, for the ridicule I took for suggesting Calgary’s 3rd line looked like their best from the pre-game lineups. I’d say with a goal each, those dicks were pretty instrumemental in the Lames comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperlynx Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 October hockey. Fun and painful to watch at the same time. Still, we could win it if not for G. 6 goals on 26 shots is not good, no matter how to twist it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyBoeser Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Fans pin point too much on Petey. I noticed him more positively than Miller or Boeser. Boeser was invisible except for two pp goals. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyBoeser Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 35 minutes ago, Hairy Kneel said: I really hope I'm wrong on Petie but my eye test says I'm not wrong. ie about his lack of engagement Yeah he definitely didn’t try to defend his line mate. He was more engaged than others. It’s just your hatred for Petey and expecting him to score every other shift. He isn’t a liability and is a PPG player this season. Like what more do you want? You wouldn’t say this if we kept the lead and won 4-1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 1 hour ago, Canuckfanforlife82 said: Not one dominant shift by him. I am getting tired of him just being a mediocre shooter and good passer. That’s what 11.6 gets us. He can’t deke or look dominant. It’s very concerning. It’s not just one game it’s the preseason too. He hasn't look dominant in 4-5 years now, dunno why people kid themselves. Controlling plays, dictating the game, he did that in his rookie year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 IMHO He got his contract because he was Swedish. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have Miller Hughes, Hronek and more star power he doesn’t look it. Like he’d probably be third liner on a team like the Avs and make half of what he makes with us.

Seems less self reliant. He defers a lot to teammates either for producing scoring chances or in general to step up when it’s needed. Not saying he doesn’t at all, he’s just not dominant in the way his career arc would suggest he might be at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Was at the game (Centre 17 rows up) The 1st period was fun, and 2&3rd they looked flat, like they had it in the bag RT said it was summer hockey, so much to playing to a system after the 1st Was hoping that they would tie it up for OT and they did (I also got a shirt parachuting from the roof) At least we didn't pull an Edmonton on season opener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer to the Oilers series where everyone had to have their eyes peeled on McDavid. That's elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammaInTheTub Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I might have said some crazy things. Maybe some crazy things about and to Edmonton fans.

the destroyer of worlds Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Didn't watch the game as I was at the PG Cougars vs Portland Winterhawks game. The Cougars were up 4 - 0 going into the 3rd. Lost the game in OT. So I guess I had a similar level of disappointment if I had watched the Canucks blow a solid lead to the Lames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 So I have a question that actually has no point Would people here prefer this 5-6 OT loss or a 1-0 low event shootout win ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
