Might be a good idea to ice your stud leading.scorer on 3 on 3.more than Sutter or Sedins.

Haha, I was a few minutes behind on my DVR and heard "Henrik and Daniel Sedin make their first appearance of this overtime" and just as I'm thinking "this isn't a good idea..", the sportsnet app on my phone chirps to life to let me know I was right.

Haven't found too much fault with Green's coaching so far this season, but this game stands out like a sore thumb.....in what parallel universe is Del Zotto a penalty-killer?.....it's like being forced to play 5 on 3 and a half.

And in a game like this, which was basically a track meet, the Sedins are just at sea....both took key penalties because all they can do this point in their careers is chase the puck-carrier. When they came out in OT with Del Zotto of all people, it was lights out.

Lol everyone blaming Gudbranson. It was all coaching. Their box was way too passive. The forwards didnt pressure the point so guys like Barrie and Mackinnon had all day to tee up.

Yeah. I understand people not liking Gudbranson but come on... Some of the comments are just too ridiculous

I'm Travis Green. NHL hockey coach...

That's funny I said the same thing and my wife went "why is that?' and just then they got the penalty and she went "oh, I see...."

 

[ChilliBilly]

lots of retaliation penalties for the Canucks on missed calls ... so it goes, its not like a win is helping our situation.

 

[Zippgunn]

At least Jake saw some OT time. That was a surprise.

If by "surprise" you mean "idiotic decision" you would be right...

 

[Foundational Player]

Gudbranson leading the PK team to 1/6 kill rate tonight. Looked ****ing clueless out there.

Cut Guddy some slack, he hasn't even played 400 games yet.

Solid +1 tonight along with 21 mins played.

Guy has captain written all over him.

Imagine the possibilities.

 

[cabinessence]

Whoever is responsible for coaching the PK should be fired on the spot

If they follow the powerplay philosophy, they'll go with that group for 5 years before looking to tweak it.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

And to make matters worse the Oilers are doing their thing. Dahlin is all but locked up.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Poor Nilsson, 2 off the post , 2 deflections and a perfect shot to end it, ALL on the PP. Otherwise a great game for him that would have been over at the 5 minute mark had Ol' Leaky been starting. Special thanks to the perfectly useless Virtanen who spent his time turning over the puck and who cost us the win with his stupid penalty and Green who will never learn not to play the Sedins 3 on 3 which sealed the loss. Good to see Archie get a nice one and Goldie almost looking useful... at least for 5 minutes.

I see where you’re going with this but it’s very very hard to call a goaltending performance great if 5 goals get past you.

 

[VanJack]

Pouliot with the best Corsi numbers and possession stats amongst all the d-men in this game by a wide margin.....he's been a lot better in the last four playing with Biega.....enigmatic player....seemed to hit the wall for awhile, but has bounced back.....he'll be an interesting guy to watch for the last 20 games.

 

[pomorick]

With Pat Roy as our starter and Martin Broduer as his backup we still wouldn't make the playoffs!

I didn't watch the game, but you have to admit it is funny that the day this pk specialist is signed is he day they get ravaged on the penalty kill.

I think he is legit good on the pk and I didn't watch the game but you have to admit it is humorous. You have a sense of humour right? It made me laugh anyway.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Yeah, who puts their fastest players on the ice in a 3-on-3 situation? I mean, y'know, besides everyone...

[PG Canuck]

Absolute joke Benning and management have to force Boeser to play like this to make them look good.

Disgusting.

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Did you report this guy to security @DownGoesMcDavid

[canuckslover10]

Why you doing this to yourself brock the season is over

 

[M2Beezy]

Went to the game had a great time was an experience and a half. Thought Baertchi had a good game. Archi was solid thruout imo. Dowd played his role well. Nice to see Goldy get rewarded. Sutter truly is a offensive blackhole with a good shot - contradiction yes.

Pouliot i thought suprisingly played good i wasnt expecting that. Realgud too he played a good positional and transitional game i cant lie. Im as against that extension as anyone but if he plays like that im ok with it. I mean other then the pk but not sure hes the only one to blame

Nielsson made so many HIGH quality saves but got burned on that god awful pk YIKES

Horvats got a great motor and super strong but def takes a lot a shifts off

Boeser does a TON of little things right i was SUPER impressed by his defensive awareness and also little things in the o zone. We got a keeper
