GDT: [GM79] Canucks vs Coyotes | Wed. Apr 10th, 7:30pm | SNP | Salt Lake City Soakers

hopefully wonderboy can get on the score sheet before the end of the year.

 

[SillyRabbit]

This place is so negative every second the Canucks aren't winning a game lol

I mean fair point, we've been the better team so far, only reason Arizona is leading is because they got a juicy rebound off a normal shot.

But even if the game were 0-0, it is frustrating to watch a team with this much talent fail to put pucks into the net.

 

[PavelBure10]

The Canucks are playing well. Just not getting any puck luck here. Definitely not the type of game they want to be playing, but I am sure the Yotes are perfectly fine with it. Keep it simple. Keep on screening and shooting on the goaltender, good things will come.

 

[Bobby9]

okay? they have plenty of points already. They're completely controlling this game.

Controlling the game is irrelevant if you can’t score.

 

[AzNightmare]

lol, btw this is Arizona's 2nd game of their back to back. So they should be tired too...

 

[Petey O]

Hughes falling down doing his insane edgework shenanigans. A rare sight.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Because they are playing conservatively to protect our crummy back up goalies.

Yup, sort of like they're Clark Kents stuck in a phone booth just waiting to bust out when Demmer's in goal.

 

[Peen]

Mikheyev cannot hold the puck on the walls

and?

 

[wonton15]

I love how every time we have Lindholm in, he gets straddled with offensively challenged wingers lol

 

[helloconga]

it’s because lindholm is back.

this team drives me crazy

It's more frustrating to watch a team limit the opposition's offense so much that they can barely generate anything and have a goalie who lets in the occasional scraps that do get through, to be honest.

You generate puck luck by getting shots on the opposing goalie. We aren't doing nearly enough of that.

I mean you're probably right, but they've been struggling since the all star game though.

Someone said it best last game I think: the Canucks seem to play best when there's a lot of emotion in the game. They can't seem to bring it unless it really, really matters. Idk.... We'll see in the playoffs if they can flip the switch. We know what they're capable of.

 

[PavelBure10]

Ok maybe try the lotto line for once. I think it's time for tochett to staple some lines together for the playoffs.

 

[quat]

Arizona should just pull their goalie. There's no risk of them being scored on

 

[bbud]

Time to get nasty refs can't call everything and tell em you do your job as ordered hows life bending over

Pretty much. Everyone is aware of how good this team truly is. They just frustrate us on a game by game basis. I think that's fair.

 

[GOilers88]

Much as I'd like to see the Oilers take the division, I wouldn't be upset to see the Canucks hold it just to spit in the face of all the "PDO, Unsustainable" crap people kept saying all season.

Good luck down the stretch fellas.

Infact it's more likely they will score on us first.

 

[Peen]

Great defensive shift from Crouse

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Lots of pretty plays and no finish.

 

[Petey O]

Put Boeser back with Miller and Lindholm on EP's line pls.

 

[quat]

lol back to the point, deflect away from the net, retrieve back to your own end.

Maybe they should take a look at their pay cheques and then watch the news …
