Post-Game Talk: Game 9: Canucks lose to the Penguins 4-3 in the SO - Blame it on the early start

[NuxFan09]

Well that's one loss nobody can be disappointed with. The Canucks went toe to toe with, if not outplayed, one of the best teams in the league and got a point out of it.

Hopefully we get the 2 points tomorrow in Columbus.

I am so upset about losing the shootout.

Everyone on the team sucks.

I blame Luongo 100% for this loss which, once again, I am deeply depressed about.

We should all stress over losing the shootout, because shootouts are important.

 

[David71]

rather be happy with a tie instead of a gimmick way to end the game

 

[End of Line]

Good game guys.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Shoot out line-up should involve Santorelli, Burrows, Schroeder (un-injured of course) and Richardson.

 

[Nuckles]

Schroeder would have been good in the shootout, sucks he got injured.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

I'm thinking at this point that Shooting Coach Kesler used over the summer is distancing himself from Kesler. Seriously... Kesler's shot has not looked this bad in years.

 

[Stonz]

Fun game to watch, Nucks played very well. Great start to a tough road trip.

 

[canucks20]

Those are some of the worst shootout attempts ever. No way they can win a shootout like that

[The Optimist]

Because they suck at shootouts?

Kassian is quite good in shootouts. Maybe you should watch more hockey outside of the NHL.

 

[YouppiKiYay]

Great road performance against a stacked Pens team. One the Canucks can build on, hopefully .

 

[BloatedGuppy]

As depressing as it is to lose a game they probably deserved to win, they played really well in a tough building against a hot team. Carried the flow of play despite a wide disparity in PP time and only ended up dropping a point in the circus.

Pretty happy with today's effort.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Deserved a win

 

[Johnny Canucker]

refs won game for Penguins there.

What calls did they miss?

 

[Hammer79]

Oh well Luongo stole us a point. SO's are just a gimmick anyway, we hung with a top eastern team for 65 mins. The team seems to be coming together on this road trip.

 

[blendini]

Can't believe Torts goes with Edler and Kes over Richardson "Mr. S-handed" goal scorer. Also would have liked to have seen Kass given a try.

 

[Oddrane]

Wonder what it requires for the Canucks to get some PP-oppertunities? ****ing joke refs.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Santorelli, Edler, and Kesler...really? I don't blame the coach: the canucks really have no shootout specialists right now. With Raymond and Burrows gone the canucks really have nobody to go to.

 

[serge2k]

Afternoon game and Luongo's legs didn't fall off.

Hurray!

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

Meh. We just don't have any good shooters other than Santorelli (and Burrows who is injured). Criticizing Edler and Kesler is silly because they actually probably have the highest shootout percentage of all the players available.

I have no idea if the stats will actually bear this out, but my feeling is that Edler and Kesler amassed the bulk of that percentage in the early days of the shootout and have been ice cold ever since. Again, probably not true, but it feels that way.

become a US team

 

[Al Swearengen]

Santorelli - Edler - Kesler eh?

 

[pahlsson]

Shoot out line-up should involve Santorelli, Burrows, Schroeder (un-injured of course) and Richardson.

burrows sucks now, everyone knows his move

 

[LiquidSnake]

Lol. What a joke.

Their jokinen,Crosby, Malkin vs santorelli , elder , Kesler.


Biggest mis match I've ever seen.

And yet only scored 1 goal. OMG THE MISMATCH!!!!!
