[bbud]

crossheck from tyler myers earlier. he was talking to trainer mouthing "my back"

Playoffs make it hurt worse will be next

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Garland and EP are equally awful on the PP.

Give Hoglander a shot to rise to the occassion on PP1. Nothing too fancy, good ol fashion brute force, but with some extra space to use it.

 

[PG Canuck]

what would you propose? keep the first line intact but move some bodies around? say petterson dropped to 2nd unit. put zadorov in front of the net. or joshua. -

Lindholm - Joshua - Boeser
Miller - Hughes

Suter - Pettersson - Garland
Hronek - Zadorov

I don’t know, anything to this extent, mix in who you want…they have to try SOMETHING different. Zadorov isn’t a PP guy but dude knows how to get pucks on net. It’s what they need right now.

I remember saying they had the whole month at home in March to figure this out and they never did. We are in a terribly long stretch of somehow surviving with a mediocre powerplay.

 

[HelloCookie]

Just finished watching the game and all I'm gonna say is that our PDO is better than their PDO. WOOOO

It's eventually going to catch up with this team. It may not even be this series, but the next series, or even the one after that, it's going to bite them in the ass.

I like having three guys who are good around the net in the forward positions on PP1. Lindholm, Joshua and Boeser can all get those greasy goals. I like your suggestion and would definitely try that.

Just shoot the ****ing puck on the PP - passing up so many shots for the perfect pass and stop slap passing it ffs

McDavid said he didn't mind their game and that they intended to defend like that... Jesus... They planned to play this way.

That's what I'd call a straight up coaching diff if that's what a good defensive structure looks like when defending a 3 goal lead.

Canucks PDO was 0.980 that game

The most dangerous lead in hockey.

Just something different has to be done. Like I said, Bruins have been running two split units for who knows how long. How well has it worked? I don’t know, not really the point but running the same unit out there for like 3 months and getting the same results is beyond insanity at this point.

How dare you bring facts to a PDO discussion!

they didnt use that month of "march at home to even fix it".. should have done it. special teams are important in winning a series or losing. they need to score 2/3 on special teams to even have a chance. cant be going 0 for in a 7 game series..

[PG Canuck]

Oh my god you found the same unhinged guy from the Oilers around the league thread’s Twitter???????? No way this dude is over the age of 14. He has obsessed over the Canucks since game 1 of the season

 

[Kryten]

Okay so I had to work and got home a lil after the game ended. I spent all day avoiding spoilers and recorded the game only for the GF to spoil it when I got home. So I buried her in the backyard and just finished watching the game.

1st: Cole with 3 brainfarts, penalty and 2 goals against but was noticeably good in transition and O zone. Myers was an absolute idiot anytime he was near the puck. Hronek and Suter were doing great.

2nd: cole again bad D and another goal against. Myers another dumbass play allows a 1 on 3 goal, no not a 3 on 1, a 1 on 3 and that tarded giraffe lets his guy score. Joshua, Lindholm, Garland doing great

3rd: Miller was quiet until the goal but great sequence by him and Boeser and Soucey. Boeser was a warrior tonight. Zaddy Daddy! Garland rewarded for his great game. Myers gets the next shift after the 5-4 goal and immediately f***s up constantly leading to getting hemmed in. Not Silovs night at all, got pretty lucky on a bunch of close calls. Miller saved Myers and Silovs asses at the end.

Petey was way better tonight, hes not good yet, but was better. Refs were pretty good tonight. With Cole being pretty responsible for 3 goals against its a god damn christmas miracle that Myers was the worst player on the ice tonight

Going around to other team's "Around the league" threads is hilarious.

Leafs: "Wow, great comeback!! Must be nice their players have heart."
"Why didn't we trade for Zadorov again?"

LA: "I thought the Canucks were different! They're just the Kings."
"... okay, they're not the Kings 2.0. Screw them but f*** Edmonton."

Nashville: "They're just a team of destiny at this point."

I might need to make a twitter account just to be able to have a laugh at this guy's posts.

Who's this? Never heard of him.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I’ve seen a lot since being a Canucks fan. I can think of only one game more satisfyingly bonkers than that.

 

[Slapshot_11]

rough night for our fav oiler fan

Did that clown get suspended or something?

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Who's this? Never heard of him.

Dude from oilers board who was obsessed with canucks and made several hundreds of hate posts about them every day before getting banned

Did that clown get suspended or something?

Guess that's why he has to rant on twitter now

 

[Slapshot_11]

Holy shit, I knew that guy was unhinged from his obsession with us on here but its even worse on his twitter and hes racist

 

[PG Canuck]

Canucks Twitter on fire right now

 

[Nopefully]

Did that clown get suspended or something?

Haven't seen him posting on their Around the League thread, must've.
