Post-Game Talk: 2/15/18 | Canucks 1 @ Sharks 4

[m9]

Eriksson and Daniel Sedin should both be sitting ahead of Baertschi based on merit.

As for Hutton? Whatever. Would have been fine scratching both Pouliot and Hutton and trying Holm/Biega.

The Holm call-up is still suspicious to me, the timing didn't make sense. Gotta trade a LHD at some point here.

 

[Nucker101]

He was fine last night.

After what? A 20 game stretch where he struggled?

Pretty long leash compared to Hutton, no?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Pouliot has been brutal in all facets of the game for at least a couple of months now. Hutton actually moves the puck up the ice.

Agreed that Pouliot has been bad for a couple of months now...I think they're trying to get him back to playing how he did when we first got him.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

The last GDT is closed, but I was wondering if there was ever an explanation for the high-stick on Stetcher only resulting in 2 minutes.

Good call.. me too.

Especially after the one ref appeared to have changed his mind and held up four fingers... but then went to parlay with his fellow refs and it ultimately was called a 2 minute penalty..... while blood was running down Stetchers face.

"I had him in Portland/Medicine hat Jim and so on...."

It was mighty peculiar that's for sure.

Yep, which is pretty understandable when you trade for a player...he had some good games before the stretch where he struggled. I would think in these games where the outcome doesn't really matter you would want to see if you can get him on track...can't say I wouldn't do the same if I was GM.

Biega has outplayed them both imo

I hope Holm actually gets some rope with Green. I’d like to see what he has to offer.

Coach makes the lineups. It’s just weird that DP gets a longer leash than other young guys who struggle with consistency like Hutton, Goldobin, Virtanen, etc.

If he was giving those guys similar treatment then I can buy into the “let the kids play through their mistakes” approach.

Makes the NHL refereeing look bush league...

Nilsson looked steady in his relief appearance. I do not feel Benning has provided NHL goaltending this season. This is a major fail if you want to build a decent squad. It was immediately a cause for concern when they announced it.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Lmao,Baertschi out???

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Lmao,Baertschi out???

What the hell..you said you were 'out'?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Lmao,Baertschi out???

Yep. Healthy scratch it seems. Strange that.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

What the hell..you said you were 'out'?

We're all addicts here my friend..

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

We're all addicts here my friend..

LOL..I get it...but somebody had create a whole thread about it..

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What the hell..you said you were 'out'?

I am, haven’t tune in any games since November

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Woo hoo! a game I actually am home and able to watch! Forgot about this one. Go Nucks!! Playoffs, baby!!

btw, I thought all you people were done with this team...

man is it funny as hell to watch kids lose their shit on the internet...

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

He didn't...even more proof that management were not really serious about playoffs this year.

 

[M2Beezy]

Baertschi scratched? Pouliot over Holm and Hutton? Eriksson somehow still in? Jesus christ.

Madening coaching/GMing

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I am, haven’t tune in any games since November

How's it been? I bet you were shaking it pretty rough at first eh.

I know I have tried kicking myself before; never quite managed it though

 

[M2Beezy]

Pouliot is TG’s Linden Vey

Its too frustrating. I generally thought Coach Green has done a better job then Willie D but i dunno this love for Poo is disgusting. Hes just not a good dman. I could understand if he didnt have options but HE DOES HAVE OPTIONS

 

[Kryten]

Youre missing out. Its like watching an old person fall down an up escalator

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

He had Poo in Portland, he likely recommended the pickup. It's the Willie D/Linden Vey scenario revisited.

 

[Melvin]

What the hell..you said you were 'out'?

Lisa: You can't drive, dad. He's got your license.

Homer: I am gonna try anyway. *starts the car* It worked!
