Post-Game Talk: GAME #34 - Canucks 1 @ Ducks 2 OT

[Reverend Mayhem]

****, would've been nice to get the win tonight because it's a guaranteed loss against the sharks

Meanwhile, 1-0 vs the Sharks this year...

I hope Miller keeps this up the rest of the year.

 

[The Stig]

Lol what is Colby Armstrong doing on the panel..

Cuz of that suit

There's no such thing as a guaranteed loss in hockey.

 

[Lawzy]

Up by one in fantasy hockey with Miller in net, opponent has only... you guessed it... Cam Fowler.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Gee, would be real nice if our top line could've contributed something! Seriously, they had 1 shot combined. A lot of time chasing in their own zone as well.

I'm not surprised to be honest.

I will give this year's team credit though, they're a lot more entertaining to watch. I'm so used to in past years seeing this team skating so slowly, and often circling back into the defensive zone. This year we push the pace a bit more and press forward. A lot better to watch. We just lack talent.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Take the point and move forward.

Agreed. I thought for the most part it was a gutsy performance on the road against a very strong team. The Ducks weakness is their goaltending and we've got to find a way to exploit it.

You've got to wonder what it would have taken for the Ducks to get a penalty there.

when the Sedins and Tanev have this kind of rough performance its no surprise the team wasn't at its best.

Need to get Burrows with the Sedins when the going gets tough for that top line. Tough to see what positives Vrbata was bringing to that line tonight. Burrows should be able to help the Sedins at the minimum with some puck retrieval.

Budget cuts.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I'll take the point. All odds were against us coming in. Still think we would beats the Ducks in a series.

Why? Lol

 

[MrShift4]

oh well
that point puts us back to second in the Pacific

 

[Mudshark50]

Could've easily won it though.

Yeah, the bounce over Danny's stick in OT could have won it for us, but Cogliano's 2 posts could have easily put it away before we got to OT.

 

[NuxFan09]

Where do you see them finishing the season with. 50-60 range?

Probably around that, yeah. 55-60 would be my guess.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Better be ready to beat the Sharks and Kings. Kassian was really needed this game for size. Can't wait to see Virtanen come in a a year or two as well.

 

[polarbearcub]

3 games vs the ducks and taken points out of all of them? Not bad

 

[y2kcanucks]

Probably around that, yeah.

Before the season started I predicted between 50-60 points. Nothing I've seen this season makes me want to waver on that.

 

[crazychimp]

We got a point but that 3rd period was just unacceptable, to me only two guys showed up Hansen and Vey both were very noticeable out there, it won't get any easier against the Sharks.

 

[thepuckmonster]

oh well
that point puts us back to second in the Pacific

With a bunch of games in hand.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Daniel had had back-to-back 2 point games coming into this one.

The overreaction when they started the season hot was too much, and the overreaction now is even worse. They are not 100 point players anymore and 70 point guys are going to have a few rough stretches throughout the year. Get over it.

 

[Orca Smash]

I'll take the point. All odds were against us coming in. Still think we would beats the Ducks in a series.

I dont think so, the ducks have to deep of line up. St. louis on the other hand we may have a shot.

 

[NuxFan09]

Before the season started I predicted between 50-60 points. Nothing I've seen this season makes me want to waver on that.

Yeah, I can't really deny it, as much as I love them and always will. They're just no match out there against most decent teams.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Take the point and move on. We need these loser points. It's a big reason Anaheim is leading the league right now. Be more upset if we lost this game at home or if we lost a game like this to a crap team.

 

[kanucks25]

We're not gonna play teams like Calgary and Arizona in the playoffs.

I don't think anyone is surprised or impressed that they're going to put some points on the board against the bottom feeders.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

I don't care. The idea that he has been crap for multiple games in a row is demonstrably false.

 

[Mudshark50]

We were outshot 32 to 14. Not sure how we win a series against the Ducks with stats like that.
