Post-Game Talk: 2/15/18 | Canucks 1 @ Sharks 4

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Sharks PP to end the game..Canucks losing in convincing fashion.

 

[canucks20]

Uh, you don't recall him being outplayed by his backups his first two years here while the coaches were spoon feeding him all the easy games?

I'm not even a fan of Miller, but he stole a lot of games and didn't let in nearly as many soft goals as Marky does. The numbers also show Miller was better.

All I know is that this goaltending duo is the worst in the league and I really hope Demko is the real deal

 

[opendoor]

I recall Miller winning quite a few games we deserved to lose.

Honest.

I also recall him blowing a bunch of games they might've won too. Nearly 40% of his starts last season saw him give up 4+ GA and in 60% of those games the Canucks managed 3+ goals so they could've won a lot of the ones they lost had they gotten adequate goaltending.

Markstrom on the other hand has allowed 4+ GA in only 27% of his starts this season and only 27% of those games were games where the Canucks scored 3+ goals.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Anyone who thinks Miller played mostly well here must have been in a coma until about January 2017.

And anybody that believes he was Markstromesque must have spent those years in an internet echo chamber....wait a minute

 

[Kryten]

I feel like that ship has sailed at this point.

If Boeser gets 40 goals it will be interesting. Boeser is by far the best points player on our low scoring team while Barzal has Tavares and Eberle on a high scoring team

 

[timw33]

Well that's just wrong

Miller 2.69GAA
Markstrom 2.70GAA
Miller .914sv
Markstrom .911sv

IIRC Miller was 26th and 28th amongst goalies over his three years with the Canucks. He was the 7th highest paid goalie in the league.

Miller had a good stretch to close out his 3rd year here and somehow it's caused everyone to forget how completely mediocre he was in his first 2 years here as he was blowing games regularly, couldn't track a point shot to save his life, and was outplayed by his backups both years. It's nuts.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Wow....Canucks pp with barely a minute to go. Just...wow.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

And that's a wrap. Pretty good up and down contest I thought. A quality entertainment.

No one can question our compete

 

[opendoor]

8 wins in their last 30. I had my doubts that this team could tank as well as Willie's teams did down the stretch but I might be wrong. Pretty pathetic display for a mostly healthy team the last couple of weeks.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Only listening to the radio feed but that sounded like it was a nice one.

Now Boeser, get a point.

Not enough PPs

Maybe Miller had more ups and downs and Markstrom has been more level.

They haven't really been that healthy lately.

 

[M2Beezy]

Next game this should be the first unit on the PP and just line 1. PRO BENNING CRAP:

Eriksson Sutter Virtanen
Poo Gud

 

[canucks20]

It's sad that there are literally 3 players I want on the Canucks moving forward that played tonight. And the third one (virtanen) is okay but not amazing.

I know people go on about our prospect pool, but even if most of them pan out there are still a ton of holes.

It just all makes me sad. That's all

Add to that he'd be blown out (4+) at a higher rate than Markstrom, something like 18-20% of his starts.

Oh and his awful pouty body language towards teammates when letting in a goal.

Have you tried posting the truth before?

As a healthy squad they have been pathetic....I'm glad JB got his extension,but all that talk about his extension being based on the teams performance down the stretch is obviously horse poo...

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Barzal is likely going to win it.

12th in league scoring, had 3 assists tonight.

Pfffft. Boeser is way better. 4 ES points in 2 months. No way Barzal can compete with that

Sorry to burst your bubble but Miller gave up like 4+ more goals in like 20% of his starts. Yeah he played well when he did but it’s really a myth that he was steady.

 

[Josepho]

Jim Benning's name is on the Stanley Cup.

Just think about that.

 

[Black Noise]

Poo Gud

Do you?

 

[2011 still hurts]

bennings healthy team is shit

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

That seems to be what happened. He summoned up the odd monster performance and stole some games and crapped the bed on some occasions. Marky is more of a flatline of sub mediocrity.

 

[opendoor]

Maybe Miller had more ups and downs and Markstrom has been more level.

Yeah, that's a fair way to look at it, but the end result is the same. In fact Markstrom has a better record than Miller did last year (.440 vs .398) while playing behind an offense that's pretty much just as bad (26th vs 29th best). I mean, Miller only won 18 games in 54 starts last year; how many games could he have possibly stolen?
