Haven't read PGT from the start so it may have already been said but, as much as it stings right now, I believe this is one of those wins that galvanizes good teams from top to bottom.

 

They know how well they played and how tilted the officiating was even prior to that final joke non-call.

 

We were on fire leading into tonight's game. We're gonna come out of this loss even more focused and confident.

 

Fear not!

That is the biggest issue, they reward them with playoffs, half of them undeserved.  I would rather reward them with promotion and demotions between NHL and AHL.  Good ones will stay up and bad ones will stay down or fired.   I would be open to an independent body for referee internationally to any league and any of the ref can be assigned to college hockey or AHL or NHL or even European league, by the same person.  

Problem is NHL doesn't play nice with IIHF and that the nhl refs themselves have a union.

Union ain't gonna agree to relegations.

I’m happy  with the point.Boys played well enough to win.Not gonna piss and moan about the non call in ot they had chances to bury it and they didn’t.That’s the way she Fukin goes sometimes.The reffing has bee inconsistent for awhile in this league but I’m not sure how to fix it under this regime.

 

GO CANUCKS!!!!

DeSmith should have knocked the net off the moment he saw the Rangers gain possession without a whistle after that trip. Make the refs make a choice. And then they’d have to conference up because they’re planning to call a penalty on the play.

Shades of 94.

Alright I'm more calm now.

 

It's great Tocc took the high road. Bad reffing is part of the game and we just need to fight through it. We still got a point in the second of a back to back. I'm just happy that the team gave themselves a chance to win tonight.

In the fighting game there is a saying. If you don't trust the judges, don't give them a chance to hand in a score card... Take that for what it's worth.

Take a day off to realize how the league still manages games and how to play to beat the refs AND the opposition

Intentionally knocking the net off is a penalty shot.

Watching the post game interview with Tocchet. And all i can say is STFU, Wags. Wet Blanket garbage.

Rick is trying to not get fined. If it was me, I wouldn't care and just let loose.

There’s too much old school Philly Flyer in Tocchet. They didn’t give a shit about the refs. They just went about their business and took care of things on the ice. Toc knows that chirping the refs now isn’t going to pay off, so why do it.

He’s playing the long game here.

 

This isn’t baseball where the manager kicks dirt at the umpire. Sheesh.

One off the linesmen took one in the nuts. Think it was in the third period in our end.

Only on a breakaway. The Rangers had not established a breakaway. Rule 63.2 iv indicates a minor penalty. And rule 25 /63.2  ii indicate a penalty shot if the foul occurred during a breakaway.

Refs were Michael Markovic and Jon McIsaac.

 

Absolute fucking bums. 

Those two propped the Rangers up all game.

The only thing that I would say negative about Canucks tonight was that they were bad in the face off circle tonight and they were hesitant to shoot when grade A opportunities were there.

 

Otherwise they were lights out.

@JamesB you around? 
 

Your numbered observations have become a staple of the PGT, like @PhillipBlunt’s condensed game.

Caught the game late.

 

1. If on Friday morning you had offered me 3 points out of 4 from a tough back to back I would have jumped at it.

 

2. And, not only that, but the Canucks completely dominated a decent St. Louis team and then arguably outplayed a rested team viewed by many as a legitimate Cup contender. 

 

3. I think the Canucks were the better team at 5-on-5 by the eye test and certainly in the numbers. Obviously the Rangers' two PP goals with a 5-3 advantage and a questionable OT goal were the difference. 

 

4. Nothing more to be said about the OT goal. It looked like a missed call (tripping  Petey) that led to a 3-on-1 breakout and the winning goal. But I can see how it was missed. It was a fairly close call that would have needed slow-motion replay to be sure. As several people have said, it might make sense to review OT goals. It seems particularly unfortunate after the Rangers benefited from two 5-on-3 situations and the apparent missed call.

 

5. Lots of positives tonight. Great to see Myers continuing to play well. He was up to 18 minutes tonight and was not "sheltered".  Hronek was excellent--looking more and more like a great trade acquisition. And Petey's line was very good. Kuzy was unlucky not to score tonight.

 

6. DeSmith gave up 4 goals on 24 shots but it is hard to complain about any of the goals. It would have great if he could have come up with one more big save but I don't think we could reasonably expect much more. Shesterkin was excellent at the other end.

 

Bottom line: It was a close game, but the Canucks were a bit unlucky to come away with only one point.

 

With 10% of the season gone, things are looking pretty good so far.

I came up from Seattle for the back to backs and I am very pleased to see us take 3 points away from the past two nights, especially considering the past four games I drove up for before this the past couple seasons we got 1 out of a potential 8 points lol. I had so much fun at both games and the ending tonight was frustrating but we look like a really good team and the fact that basically the only goals we gave up were 5 on 3 or referee blatant missed calls is really promising. We’re very good 5 on 5 and on the PP and we have an amazing goalie and a really good backup. Just gotta play smart and limit mistakes. Go Canucks Go!

I agree, but that probably would have been an automatic goal. Seeing the way the officiating was going.
