Post-Game Talk: GAME #56: Canucks 4 @ Sabres 2 - Buffalo gets Burr'd, Bo gets bruised

[M2Beezy]

If Horvat is seriously injured now after blocking that shot (walking down the tunnel)

I'm ****ing done with this team.

Missed the game is he really hurt after this game??? Say it aint so

Howd he play? Burr? Stecher? Hutts? Trammer? Boucher? Was chaput really THAT good??

TFW 2nd unit PP is better then your 1st unit

isnt that the case last year... or the year before. 2nd unit last year bonino horvat whoever?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Nice to see the team have a good bounce back game after losing a close one yesterday. I'm still amazed that the refs called the game as they did - Canucks don't usually get that benefit.

I have to hand it to the players - they don't have the talent to win most nights, but they bring the effort. No one took a shift off tonight. Glad for Marky, too.

did lehner say im gonna ****ing kill u after burrows scored? just watching the highlights now

 

[valkynax]

Too bad tank broke, but I'm alright with the win. Horvat being steady, never a bad thing.

Lehner and Falk can both go falk themselves.

This was not just back to back for Buffalo--it was 5th game in 7 days. Yes they died in the last 2 periods and looked like trash. No Girgensons, no Larsson, no Bogosian, no Franson, no Carriere. 5 regulars out. Most Sabres fans wrote this one off in October when the schedule came out....They are not deep enough or good enough to handle that.

It was 4 in 6 for the Canucks..not like we're deep enough either..

Lol the bonino year I think our second unit scored first game and then didn't again for like half the season

 

[mathonwy]

Bo (1)
Chaput (1)
Burr (1)
Chaput (2)

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 2PP in 2014-15 had like 2-3PPG the whole season

Not that it stopped Willie from yanking the Sedins 30 seconds into a PP when we were down by a goal late in the 3rd during a playoff drive.

It's actually funny you say that because now we want the exact opposite.

Man the Sabres are in shambles after this loss. Lehner calling out the team for not listening to the coach and Sabres fans losing their minds.

Dang, Burrows caused all this?

nvm, can't read.

And really hope Burr gets to go home to Montreal and compete for a Cup this year or next.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Also, bizarre how the Canucks and Sabres are officially tied in points in the overall standings, and it's furor in Buffalo. Lehner's apparently lost his mind.

Yep. Meanwhile in Vancouver it's "winning culture." okay

 

[WTG]

Well, Lehner is calling out the team because it has no structure. Basically calling out players for playing a skilled game rather then a grindy checking game.

Bylsma rather clearly lost that room IMO.


I don't think the players have quit the system in Vancouver. Rather that we are loyal to a tee so the big minute players are buying in. You think sutter wants a coaching change? What about Granlund? Sutter's on pace for 39 points while playing top line minutes. He must think the world of Willie. Horvat honestly seems more concerned about "doing what has to be done with whatever I have", and the Sedins get to call their own shots. Miller gets to pick his own starts, while Markstrom sits. Chaput/Megna loving live.

Nobody is checking out here.

That's what I was looking for to finish off that post, but couldn't think of it at the time.

 

[Tyler Durden]

You think Markstrom will go in net vs Penguins or will it be Miller Time?

 

[NoShowWilly]

What's with the Canucks and playing a **** disturbing game against eastern teams?

Am I remembering wrong here or have all our emotional games in the last couple years been against eastern teams.

 

[NoShowWilly]

If they were splitting the games then miller should be playing against the team we are chasing.

 

[tylerseguin]

Happy for the young core.

Not so happy for the win.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I'm fine with this. Always fun to see Burr show a flash of his formerly elite level pestery.

But from here on in, I only want to be beating Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto.

Miller, 100%. No discussion. WD is going right back to his guy. Would've gone back to back if Miller played well against Boston.
