Post-Game Talk: Game #3 - Canucks 5, Flames 4 in OT: "Bork, bork, bork!" - Eddie Lack

[Grub]

I don't know what's going on with Hamhuis hope he finds his game soon.

It is afterall an Olympic year.

Garrison on the other hand has impressed.

 

[Outside99*]

Besides Beiksa, Stanton made a great play and then the great outlet pass on the OT goal.

Stanton is not looking out of place here...

Yup, impressive start.

[Bad News Benning]

Bububububut he is a cast-off! Stanton is clearly garbage!

Stanton reminds me of a young Rob Scuderi

 

[Tifosi]

Not in a million years would last year's team battle back like this.

 

[ShouldveDraftedFiala]

Nice to see that when Torts changes up the lines, he gives them more than 1 shift to see how it works.

Sedins looked great split up, carried their respective lines and each got a goal spurring on the come back

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Stanton reminds me of a young Rob Scuderi

They even look similar

Well it's only been 3 games, but seems like the pro scouts actually did their job with Ryan Stanton. This should hopefully end the Andrew Alberts era.

Will feel better when Richardson/Weise are on the 4th line when Burrows/Kassian are back, but thought they all had a solid game—against the Flames however.

 

[NoShowWilly]

11 goals in two games? someone make a thread on the main boards

im sure nuxfan is on it.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

For what? A late draft pick?

Obviously I didn't mean by himself :-/

Booth-Kesler-Burrows

Richardson-Schroeder-Weise

Im liking that rolling 4 lines.

Congrats on the win you capitalized on our mistakes. I thought Lack looked great.

He looked pretty good. The goalie I was especially impressed with was MacDonald. Those two saves he made late on Higgins and (I think?) Daniel were otherworldly.

Hamhuis absolutely deserves to be sub-20 right now—has been pretty awful in the first few games. May be a lingering issue, if so, honestly get him out of the lineup so it doesn't get worse.

 

[Lord Flacko*]

gone, maybe stuck on the 4th line

santorelli is what we've been hoping schroeder would be

He doesn't. Santorelli just solidified his spot on the 3rd line imo.

I'm hoping he can learn how to play on Kesler's wing.

 

[Barney Gumble]

Good game guys.

Burke will have your franchise turned around faster & will passing by the Oilers soon even though your rebuild just started.

Hamhuis absolutely deserves to be sub-20 right now—has been pretty awful in the first few games. May be a lingering issue, if so, honestly get him out of the lineup so it doesn't get worse.

Have to think he's playing thru some kind of injury.

 

[Squall]

Nice to see that when Torts changes up the lines, he gives them more than 1 shift to see how it works.

Sedins looked great split up, carried their respective lines and each got a goal spurring on the come back

Yeah, I was very surprised by this as well. Even more surprised that it worked. Woohoo!

we just need to add Vanek to complete the team.

 

[EpochLink]

Torts juggling lines? Adjusts!?

This is truly not the AV era no more!

 

[Addison Rae]

How come I lost vCash?

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Hamhuis absolutely deserves to be sub-20 right now—has been pretty awful in the first few games. May be a lingering issue, if so, honestly get him out of the lineup so it doesn't get worse.

I think the fact that he's getting less ice time points to the fact that he is not 100% healthy... the fact that he's not playing up to his usual level is another indicator. Not worried here.

 

[NuxFan09]

im sure nuxfan is on it.

Um no, I'm not.

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

It's pretty obvious that Hamhuis is injured. He'll be fine once he gets healthy again.

 

[PG Canuck]

Flames > Oilers

 

[Uhmkay]

I've been preaching that Eddie Lack was going to be a very good goalie for the Canucks for a couple years now, so to see him get his first win in his first game in a pretty solid performance is a good thing to see.

For those that are still hurt by the trade of Schneider, if Lack continues to show great promise then I'd take Luongo-Lack-Horvat over Schneider-Lack-7th round pick.
