GDT: HFBoards GDT: 11/28/2023 | 10 games of a fun time...

[Three On Zero]

Canucks dominated that 3rd period, was only the Ducks but they did what they needed to do

 

[Sean Garrity]

Canucks dominated that 3rd period

Agreed, I think they dominated after GIbson went full dumb allowing that second goal.

 

[jackjohnson]

Canucks dominated that 3rd period

Canucks played poor offensively 1st 2 periods then dropped the hammer on those ducks. Gibson is good tho

 

[PuckG]

It's pretty incredible how Canucks can get outplayed game after game yet still somehow pull out wins(or close and winnable games).

It’ll be interesting to see when that luck runs out. Can’t get outplayed like that forever.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Agreed, I think they dominated after GIbson went full dumb allowing that second goal.

And he almost did the same thing again a couple of minutes later. What a maroon.

 

[jackjohnson]

Kuzmenko should get an assist for that I think he farted in front of Gibson and Gibson got mad

 

[Three On Zero]

They changed how they were playing, they played one hell of a good 40 minutes though

More like Canucks changed the way they played in the 3rd lol

 

[Dust]

Something about a strength development plan, the actual plan is very confusing but it seems like they're trying to have him play 2-3 games per week and focus on strength training during his missed time.

They really need to let him play more, he's a treat to watch. I get holding him out on a back to back occasionally, but he hasn't played since Friday.

Vezina level goaltending and 4 players in the top 15 for points. Canucks biggest issues is they can’t deal with injuries due to the fact they don’t have any promising players to fill those roles. A few key injuries and they’ll topple

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Agreed, I think they dominated after GIbson went full dumb allowing that second goal.

The American in him couldn't resist to hit a Russian when he's down

The luck runs out? Like Oilers winning games now?

 

[Canucks LB]

Luck?

How about watching some games?
They were absolutely dominant for the first part of the season, only right now they look more human.

Mostly because of significant injuries

 

[PuckG]

The Oilers game is over. Stay focused.

My point stands. The Canucks have struggled against the top half of the league, get outplayed by most of the league, but have found a way to get wins riding the PDO train. Those things regress to the mean whether you like it or not.

Got analytics to back that up?

All teams experience injuries. Regardless, they have enough headway that they should solidly be a playoff team. Still largely pretenders.

It’s already regressed a bit, also, don’t the Oilers have to go on like a 110 point pace to make the playoffs?

Good luck with that

We’re not trying to win the Stanley Cup here as our main goal this year, we’re trying to make the playoffs, since when did we suddenly become some contenders?

Just because we have played well this season, I think your artificially moving the goalposts

Could be worse, could be Edmonton who struggle against both the top and bottom half of the league

Sure?

Not sure what that has to do with the Canucks but if it makes you feel better.

We need something like a .640ish points percentage the rest of the way. This team has shown they can play that type of hockey before.

This is all new territory for Van though. Maybe it lasts but the analytics are saying it probably won’t. Meanwhile the analytics show that the Oilers are way underperforming their actual record.

Who knows though, analytics have their flaws.

I agree though, I’m not a 100% analytic purist either

Any sane person knows that the Canucks are far from being a contender, they are a struggling team just looking to get back into the post season

Or lotteries….

 

[Tobias Kahun]

"Hold" Does he have the strength of a 5 year old to be that weak on his stick?

You seem to know lots about embellishment, especially with that picture.
