Post-Game Talk: Vancouver Canucks vs. St. Louis Blues | 7:00PM PST | SNET

Well completely losing out on a year of development was probably a pretty bad idea.

While the Blues goalies were getting ice time IIRC.

Thanks Jimbo.

 

[Breakers]

2 goals on 3 shots


Almost as bad Malcolm subban letting in 5 goals on 6 shots to start his career

Well completely losing out on a year of development was probably a pretty bad idea.

The thing is, he spent that year in Vancouver working with Ian Clark on a daily basis … and he’s still a technical mess too deep in his net and constantly over-committing and sliding out of position.

That wasn’t a great goal but I’m not ready to declare Gina complete bust quite yet. I want to see him get a decent run at the AHL that isn’t interrupted by covid and injury after coming off a year with barely any hockey.

 

[geebster]

That was a bad goal but this isnt on DiPietro. We have a depleted lineup and despite carrying the play we just dont have the horses to eke this out. Perhaps they can in the third but this is too high a hill to climb with the forward unit we have right now.

Proud of the guys for how they came out and fought in the first. Win the third and come out proud.

And hopefully get some regulars back...ffs

 

[mathonwy]

Highmore, Lammiko and Motte should get more ice time and Chiasson should kindly f*** off.

 

[bandwagonesque]

It’s like they just captured a casual conversation between Dave Babych and a divorce lawyer

We've seen many 6feet goalies succeed in the NHL. Halak is one of, and of course our very own Captain Kirk. Of course we cannot expect him to be Captain Kirk all of a sudden. but man.......

Kirk McLean was a big goalie by the standards of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s.

Very few 6’0 goalies are successful now.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I think we draft a goalie in this draft.

 

[Grub]

Lets face if, smaller goalies are just not the way to go.

Eddie Lack - 6’4
Jacob Markstrom - 6’6
Tacher Demko - 6’4

invest on Silovs he is 6’4

 

[canuckking1]

Probably Canucks best game of the season too.

Highmore and Motte have been the two best players on the ice aside from the St. Louis goalie.

I’m sorry, but this is basically on Goaltending, we’re badly are playing the blues and pretty much every single faucet except maybe the penalty kill.

probably a good idea given they usually take 5 yrs to be ready

 

[mathonwy]

Probably Canucks best game of the season too.

It's quite entertaining. No complaints except for the score. Nucks don't deserve to be down 2.

 

[logan5]

If Felix can advance to the quarters, then the night won't be so bad.

We have 3 AHL goalies and have been doing some weird three-headed hydra rotation with them which has hurt everyone. I think it'd be a mistake to invest the rest of the season into DiPietro - he has too many technical deficiencies, is slow, and plays small in the net. His development has already been messed up (and partly, he just doesn't have the talent) - Silovs is 2 years younger, bigger, and doesn't have as many technical flaws. They need to cut bait with DiPietro and make a decision before they also ruin Silovs' development as well.

 

[PavelBure10]

I freaking love Kirk McLean. Him and Bure are my all time favorite Canucks.

 

[wonton15]

Hog has been good but frantic once he gets a chance. Needs to slow down and think sometimes

 

[lawrence]

this time around Bruce cannot tell the team to get their heads out of their asses because they've done everything right, but score, we need the next one!

Bure really?

Yeah.. I don't think Mikey's got what it takes.

 

[Canucks LB]

So is Demko playing next game?
What’s the quarantine status there?

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

DiPietro isn't big enough imo, not saying he's bad, but at 6'0 is tough to be a good goalie in the NHL now a days.

 

[sting101]

hes just gotta hit the net and slow down coming out of his own zone to make the right play
