GDT: [GM61] Canucks vs Ducks | Wed, Mar. 5th | 7:30pm | SNP | Aquatic Fowl

[VanJack]

I'm becoming more ambivalent about these games as the season goes on. Almost at the point where I'd rather see the Canucks sell on Friday and enhance their draft position in the last 22 games..

You look at the bounty Seattle just reaped by selling Bjorkstrand and Gourde......a stack of picks coming back. If they hit on some of those picks, they'll soon be passing the Canucks.

If they don't....they will become the Canucks.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I’m not sure if this team could even score a goal if we made the playoffs?

Team couldn’t score if the other teams goalie was pulled.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Lankinen is just swimming in his net tonight. What’s going on?

Fatigue. He has looked signs of cooling down, getting tired.

He has now matched his previous high for starts in a season.

yeah i wouldn’t panic about his drop off. first time in this spot.

question is how he addresses the prep for a bigger load over the summer

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’m going to be pretty damn sad and emotional but at the same time I think it’s for the best that Boeser is traded.

Or we need a 1b to go with him. More of a even split.

Like a lot of offensively challenged teams, the Canucks out-shot the Ducks 17-5 but come out down by one after the first period..

They're using wingers in their top-six, who simply don't belong there. But they've got little choice but to roll with them.

Guys like O'Connor, Sherwood, Hoglander and even Garland work hard--but on a good team, they'd mostly be third and fourth liners.

 

[supercanuck]

The team and players really needed some puck luck in that period. Hope they come with the same fire in the 2nd.

Exactly. Currently this team has zero player that belong in a true top 6 except maybe DeBrusk and Boeser on a good night.

On what planet is Garland a third or fourth liner?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

On what planet is Garland a third or fourth liner?

On a cup contender he is. Last season he was on the best 3rd line in the league.

 

[wonton15]

Sign Boeser 8x11.6

 

[Canuckle1970]

DEBRUSK ON THE PP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PuckMunchkin]

On a contender?

 

[bbud]

Finally fooken eh beauty pass and nie finish Jake go fu..kin bury more boys

 

[Lawzy]

Boeser looks much better tonight as well.

 

[ephmrl]

On a cup contender he is. Last season he was on the best 3rd line in the league.

Technically the 3rd line, but he was getting top six ice time the whole season. He’s good for 35+ even strength points a season, which is very good production for 2nd line winger.

On a contender?

His production is in line with Samuelsson and Raymond who were in our top six when we were the best team in the league.

 

[calnuck]

4:20 into the 2nd period

 

[wonton15]

4:20 blaze it

 

[LemonSauceD]

zegras would be a good target idc what anyone says.

There’s not enough top six talent inn the league. It’s a diluted product in a way.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

DJ, I heard you playing American Idiot.

First good song choice there in a while.

 

[bbud]

Pound these ducks full cobra chicken f em )
