Post-Game Talk: Game #55: Canucks lose 5-2 to the Blackhawks - Well at least Kassian is good.

[VeteranNetPresence]

Loooong ways away from being a contending team.

i would say 8-10 years away if we're lucky

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

Has to be one of the best. Hawks team has exceptional depth. Good drafting.

I'd be fine making it an organizational policy to pick up their last cut of the preseason.

Needs to work on his shot in offseason

Even though this is true, he still has one of the best shots on the team. That's sad.

**** this teAm. Begiining of the season they were fun and entertaining to watch while learning torts new system. Now we're 2/4ths into the season almost done.. And olympics coming up. Team is tied with alot of ntcss. Hope one of the guys with an ntc gets dealt for younger pieces back

Their GM also identified a need for top 6 goal scorers, and traded for Hossa and Sharp. Gillis should take note.

 

[Tiranis]

Needs to work on his shot in offseason

Does he? He's shooting like 18.5% after today's game.

We need to inject some Naslund DNA into his wrist shot.

Tony Gallagher was talking about Hansen last year on TEAM 1040 and he actually brought up a good point.

When Hansen is put into a top 6 role, he stops doing the little thingd that make him a good player. He's not as aggressive or tenacious, especially on the forecheck. He seems to focus too much on trying to create offense, which to be honest, isn't his forte.

3rd line Hansen, is good Hansen.

Its weird because he puts us 2nd liner points on the third line but can't produce with 2nd liner minutes.

 

[Bgav]

Bollig has more shots then Danny lol

 

[Jrtu]

I went to grab a bite when we were up 1-0 at the end of the 1st, and come back to this...
I don't even

Hamhuis and Bieksa are just getting eaten alive in their zone tonight.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Scary Yotes 3 pts behind with a game in hand, they win that game in hand 1 pt back... Yikes not a lot of breathing room for this team.

Two games in hand after the expiration of this game.

Why do the Blackhawks always score in bunches against Luongo? That pisses me off, if we face the Hawks in round 1, (if we even make the playoffs) we will have a better chance with Lack in net.

 

[LiquidSnake]

At least he gets it on net unlike a certain former 40 goal scoring selke winner

agreed. Loving how Kass progresses

Tonight was a massive defensive collapse. It's like we forgot how to play defense. Nothing to do with the goalie.

 

[Zack Kassian]

what a terrible terrible turnover by edler right there. ahl worthy play

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Edler

....half?

Doesn't he have like only 60 shots all season? Clearly needs to shoot more as well.

Luongo has a 93.0% save percentage against chicago

Yeah because defensive lapses are always on Luongo....

 

[EpochLink]

Does Sullivan even coach this team?

Line match ups or anything?

 

[Oddity]

Oh well. Next!

 

[thepuckmonster]

... except it does. Luongo has had his fair share of poor goals against Chicago, defense aside.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Love these last min penalties vs the Canuckss...

Never happens to other teams
