Post-Game Talk: Canucks defeat Senators | 5-2 | Thanks for the Good Time, Ray

[jd22]

Woah, whose ex?

Scott Pilgrims. All of them.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

I for sure have the lowest number of expected girlfriends

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Been hearing it a lot, from my perspective it's been brought up on PDOcast, 650 postgame, etc. Ray even brought it up tonight.

The guy that "invented" it or whatever is part of Sportsnet. It's just another corporate shilling BS.

 

[Vector]

where did this PDO stuff come from anyway?

I did not hear this at all last season, or any season?

Others have already said but it’s mostly a media lead thing that’s getting parroted on how the Canucks will regress.

PDO is basically a measurement of luck and the Canucks’ PDO score is one of the highest ever.

 

[TruGr1t]

Lots of jokes about PDO aside I think it's very hard to tell because the team is so hot. But I do have some ideas.

Just like the bubble, superstar talent means you can score out of the blue. That's happening except we aren't under siege the whole time so Miller/EP/Quinn get even more opportunities for that to happen.

Tocchet's brilliant movement PP just makes it a lot more unpredictable and it hasn't seemed to have gotten into long periods where it gets stuck in a static rut. You don't need to shoot too much on a good PP to score.

Finally, if you play a more structured game where the forwards are committed to backchecking and playing positionally you see we're reaping the rewards with lots of counterpunch possessions. Those are just inherently easier to score on somehow in my experience.

Basically the team is built to have a high SH%.

Like I said earlier you don’t need stats to see it, they are getting the bounces currently and Demko has been immaculate so it sort of explains itself.

God, I'd love it if somehow Boeser overtook porn stache for the goal score lead on Saturday.

Totally not going to happen, but imagine the lols

I really liked Hoglander tonight. Was really buzzing and aggressive, active stick, just obviously belongs. I'd prefer it if we didn't trade him.

Whereas I'm not sure I noticed Garland at all tonight, and he is the one who should be doing all of the above.

 

[LordBacon]

God, I'd love it if somehow Boeser overtook porn stache for the goal score lead on Saturday.

Totally not going to happen, but imagine the lols

Its more like a pedo stache

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Imagine thinking Brock f***ing Boeser would be second in scoring, beating out Kucherov and only two back of Matthews.

I'd told you I want the kinda drugs you were on.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Its more like a pedo stache

*PDO stache

 

[Flik]

Anyway, Ferraro is the best, we failed upwards to a win, and my wife completed her coding bootcamp tonight.

Everything coming up aces, woo!

 

[dealwithit]

We are officially a wagon

 

[Canucks LB]

I’m getting desensitized to wins, as a Canucks fan

 

[logan5]

Did the Canucks have more high danger chances than Ottawa? They gave up lots of shots, but for most of the game, you never felt like Ottawa was going to score.

 

[Vector]

Next step? Kick the crap out of the Maple Leafs. Nothing will make me happier.

 

[potatowejj]

That Miller goal, man what a perfect shot. One of the most underrated releases in the league.

 

[HighAndTight]

Imagine thinking Brock f***ing Boeser would be second in scoring, beating out Kucherov and only two back of Matthews.

I'd told you I want the kinda drugs you were on.

I'm loving his game right now. He's playing focused but a little angry.

Someone with the skills needs to put Boeser's face on Keanu Reeves in the first John Wick when he's tied to the chair.

"People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer, but yeah, I'm thinking I'm back."

 

[wonton15]

Got a win with DeSmith. Now that sets up a strong Demko game against the Leafs and a DeSmith Habs revenge game.

We could realistically be 12-2-1 lol

Flanthers was another high PDO team last season

Their system make them not taking many shots nor control the puck

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Can we just be Vegas and pull out our own 7 game win streak? Let's just do that.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Anyway, Ferraro is the best, we failed upwards to a win, and my wife completed her coding bootcamp tonight.

Everything coming up aces, woo!

Yeah ..shorty and Ray were talking like old buddies..Really unforced..

 

[Grub]

Not a good game, but good teams find a way to win... and we are definately a good team. 10-2-1 Holy shit.

 

[Vector]

NaturalStatTrick has it 9 to 3 Canucks at 5v5 and 9 to 5 overall.

 

[DimitriL07]

It’s honestly quite aggravating that other teams fans are just gunna look at the shot clock and repeat the same one liners on why we suck while also watching barely any Nuck games. The Sens weren’t even doing much at all, just throwing everything on net. Lots of perimeter play.
