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

[Saturated Fats]

Schroeder out, can't stay healthy. Does Dalpe come right back up and slot into 3C? Don't think Torts was entirely enamored with him in those first six games. But who else is there?

 

[Lawzy]

Something to definately hang our hats on.

Do you mind? We're trying to see the glass half full here not the glass half empty and full of urine.

 

[Derp Kassian]

Botchford is the worst.

that was sarcasm...

 

[Reign Nateo]

When the obituaries are written after the fall of western civilization, Twitter will feature prominently.

It may actually be the worst thing in the world.

I wholeheartedly agree. Gets worse all the time.

For me, the biggest takeaway from this game is Zack Kassian.

The dude beasted for shifts at a time and is showing flashes of exactly what we thought he would become. Good, good sign.

You've been shut down so often by more knowledgeable posters, it's a wonder you still pretend to know anything about hockey.

Definitely. I actually think this has been his best non-Buffalo game so far in his time here.

Excellent game by the Canucks. Luongo's rebound control was shaky all game, but there were also a few breakdowns in the zone. His penalty shot save made up for any of that.

Pretty ridiculous officiating though. I have no idea how the calls (all of them basically cheap penalties) can be that lopsided against the team that controlled almost 60% of shot attempts in the game.

enter thread

it's either luongo's or the ref's fault

realize it's just another day at HF

leave

plus stop Jokienien and Crosby in SO to keep it alive

Man, that last caller on 1040 needs to chill the hell out. He complains about how playing the Bylsma presser is a buzzkill for Canucks fan and he proceeds to totally kill the buzz by *****ing about absolutely nothing.

what did Bylsma say?

Or, Kesler can take 2C again maybe on a line with Daniel Sedin. Hansen hasn't been very effective lately either. I'd put hansen back down to the 3rd line.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Man, I'm so disappointed I wasn't able to see this game. Even though we lost, it looks like it was a great game.

 

[NuxFan09]

what did Bylsma say?

Not sure, was only half listening. I think the caller was more complaining about Bylsma's tone and the way he talks so slowly, rather than about what he actually said.

Wow, that caller sounds annoying as ****. Who calls in to complain about someone's tone of voice?

Twitter seems to exist for 2 reasons :

1) as a platform for dumb people to relate unimportant details about their lives to the general public. Or to just generally expose their idiocy to others.

2) to provide completely unreliable, unsourced news to the public minutely quicker than they could otherwise have received reliable news from a credible source.

I feel your #1 point applies to Facebook as well. Too many people on there begging for attention by airing their dirty laundry.

 

[Zanon]

Does anybody else really want to see John Tortorella get into a heated argument with Jason Botchford?

 

[Will Hunting]

Guys, you were by far the best team we´ve faced so far this year. We were territorially outplayed and that doesn´t happen a lot.

Our team is quite depleted with injuries, but we are still dangerous with the way Crosby is playing right now. You can be satisfied with your team, it was a great game and could´ve gone either way. I am glad that you got at least that one point, because it was well deserved.

I was impressed by Richardson. What a bottom-6er he is. Really great game by him. Good luck for the rest of the season!

Go Sibbry Crobbry! Your management needs to get the memo and ditch the team's jerseys in favour of something more iconic...

Seeing the Pens lose to Boston last year was a big bummer. Go KILL them this year!

Well, you would be wrong. If used well, Twitter is an amazing resource for compiling news and information. I don't get the people who follow celebrities or other personalities, but if you track the right news and sports outlets and people it is an incredible tool.

Oh, agreed.

But at least facebook has some redeeming qualities. Allows you to keep in touch with friends, share photos, organize get-togethers. The 10 or so drama queens I have on there I've just blocked from my newsfeed.

Twitter has no redeeming qualities whatsoever as far as I can see. Pure trash.

Back on topic, we've set ourselves up for a good road trip here if we can keep playing well. 5 out of 6 points so far, and the next 3 games are highly winnable against Columbus/NYI/NJ.

As the Pens fan above just noted, Pittsburgh is a tough team to dominate territory and possession against, especially at home, and the fact that we were able to do that is a very good sign.
