GDT: [GM46] Canucks vs Maple Leafs | Sat. Jan 20th, 4:00pm | HNIC | Least vs Best

Not denying that Myers is a frustrating player but man, he’s really the whipping boy on here.

Zero credit when he’s playing well and blamed for absolutely everything when he’s on the ice for a goal. It’s cringeworthy.

Demko needs to win back our confidence. Whew, this has been a stinky game for him. And Pettersson, what's up dude?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Hughes is the one who deserves the BIG contract. He's the one who can put the team on his back and make things happen like a McDavid, MacKinnon or Kucherov.

I like how people thought we gave Hughes to stick it to Pettersson not signing yet. He's just the muuuuuch better leader

 

[PG Canuck]

Lotto Line is obviously good but this just shows what happens when an opposing line can completely smother them. They haven’t done anything worth remembering.

Not gonna cut it in the playoffs.

 

[God]

Just tuned in and we scored to go up 4-3, gonna assume it's just been a back and forth affair up until this point and not look up the play by play timeline

?????

People here have been giving him his due credit across the board. What are you talking about?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Doesn't look like the Leafs will be penalized in this one.

Was just going to post the same- are we getting a pp anytime? There should have been 2 in the 1st period, but you know.....

Yes he screened Demko on the first goal, but he's no more a culprit than the rest of the crew for the rest.

He got credit on here for his big hit in the 1st.

This isn't the kind of game you sit back and turtle in the 3rd. The top six needs to get involved quickly here or a free game simply slips away.

 

[geebaan]

Watching Winnipeg today was a stark reminder that you just cannot leave your system. You gotta stick to it at all times.

Other than the last minute, that period was a no show…They got outworked and outshot.

Canucks thought they could sit on that lead..Leafs score,and just kept building momentum…

Hopefully the Canucks get their game back on track in the 3rd..

What the f*** is Ron MacLean wearing

Yeah no. The only consistent thing about him is his inconsistency.

I said he had a great first period but eventually the pace caught up to him. On the 2nd goal he did a patented pass to nowhere and that extended the play in zone and they scored. Are we supposed to just ignore that?

 

[Diversification]

Perhaps the Lotto line reunion has run it's course and it's time to run:

Hog Miller Boes
Mik EP Kuz

 

[moiderer]

Morgan Reilly entering his Liam O'Brien era.

Lotto line this year just isn't forechecking enough. Pretty clear why the success hasn't been sustainable.

Conor Garland has been more than worth his salary when put in a position to succeed. He's a premium third liner, hard to fully utilize until this year where we have depth.

The team still needs to learn how to stay even after dominant stretches. This game Demko hasn't given us time to recover.

Friedman looks all red too. What's ahppening there?

This is why games like this are helpful. Exposes weaknesses and you get a sense of how to improve.

 

[JT Milker]

Bad period but 2 goals that had no business going in on an NHL goalie made it worse than it should have been.

Aren’t we winning the game? How am I the optimist today haha.

Lots of games we’ve played below average and still get the win. Who cares if you win.

Maybe they're on niacin?

Its cold

Loading up on the first line is something most teams who have a strong 1-2 can do. That doesn't mean you should do it, or that you need to go out and blow a bunch of assets so that you CAN do that.
