Post-Game Talk: Game #70: Canucks defeat Luongo and the Panthers 4-3 in the shootout

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

As if I needed any more incentive to avoid Bud Light, that is one cringey commercial that is hard to get through.

As if that sandy-haired freckled face would be kissing all over his chest with her eyeballs.

He'd probably be leering at her from a far corner and on his phone the whole night.

His instagram name is Jensen46 so I doubt he changes it lol

I dont think it is... http://instagram.com/jensen46

Should I be happy or sad? I'm unsure of how to feel

I want to get a better draft pick, but if you don't feel good after a win, I have no words. Let's not sink that low.

Henrik sounding like he actually thinks we can make the playoffs

 

[LiquidSnake]

lets keep things in perspective. we just beat florida in a shootout.

And a guy making 800k outplayed your boy

I hope the oilers keep winning so Florida picks Ekblad.

Yeah then they draft Bennett or Reinhart they have a top 3 pick so no matter what they should be getting a good prospect.

 

[GPNuck]

I like that were not tanking intentionally.. I just thought it would happen because we suck so bad.. Its nice to win.. I'm not complaining

 

[CanucksSayEh]

did jensen pulled a forsberg again?

If by that you mean, danglez and chin up - bar down, then YES!

That's him.

 

[PG Canuck]

Wasn't it off the bar and then off Lu's pad?

Looked to me it went crossbar, straight down and in before Luongo touched it.

Anyone else find it odd/disturbing that it's so easy for Torts to let Kassian flounder away on one of the bottom six lines, yet he can bring up Jensen, whom they didn't think was ready for the show, and plop him right into the first line? And it's not like Jensen is some defensive stalwart, which was the reason they were holding Kassian back.

 

[Bro Horvat]

That's him.

wow, he really does need to bulk up!

God forbid our captain hasn't given up on the season.

This is getting brutal now....

Or Fleury or they trade down to him.

Torts just doesn't like Kassian.

well if we trade Kesler I'm pretty sure he'll take 17, but if not then he'll probably stick with 46

We're also not the best team in the league anymore. Let's keep things in perspective.

He has actually been good defensively though.

Don't forget he was immediately put on the top line, and he has flourished so far. That hasn't happened here in a long, long time. Not even with Hodgson.

Losing will force Aquilini to make changes. Hopefully Gillis would be fired, Tortorella would be fired, and we would end up with a high draft pick to draft a highly skilled forward that this organization needs so badly. Winning achieves nothing since we aren't going to make the playoffs. If anything, it might give Gillis more opportunity to talk his way out of being fired.

Making the playoffs will force changes. That's likely to happen. We aren't getting into the top 5. Lots of good picks in the next range. No need to lose. Winning is much better. Especially for the rookie goalie, although I feel you're just hoping he fails, which I find sad.

was going in either way Luongo just made sure it stayed in.

Coaches always have players they pick on for whatever reason. He's taken some dumb penalties but I doubt Torts should hold they against him
