Post-Game Talk: [GM44] Canucks to Blue Jackets in SO | 3-4 (Miller, Garland, & Pettersson) | Road Trip Over With Great Results

[Zombotron]

And they have two more of these stupid matinee games? Eww. (For you folks in PST, at least)

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I don't remember them ever winning a game starting at 10 am so the fact that they managed to get a point out of it is a bonus. However against most other teams, this would have been any easy regulation loss

Last game of a long road trip

Morning game

Changed of travel plan due to weather

A point is impressive

Did all 4 shooters try to go 5 hole? I would have thought roof it stick side was the way to play this goalie ....

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Watched the game this afternoon.

Why Suter over Boeser in the shootout?

Fire Benning.

Kuzmenko went glove side, had room between pad and glove but he hit the top of the pad

Fire Benning.

Boeser is 20% for his career in shootouts and hasn't taken one in a couple years. Suter was 2/3 in his career.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Forgot this game was on so damn nearly and never woke up for it. Oh well. Guess we can't have the 10 game winning streak

By the way, waking up to roosters at 5am in the country side of the Philippines gets to you

 

[Hansen]

Sillinger noticeable in a good way, I want Voronkov

 

[JAK]

I guess Oilers fans are right, our PDO or something means we are bad.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Just woke up

It's nice. I miss it. Every time I hear a rooster it takes me back to the Philippines.

When I’m in Manila I still work up at 5am due to the time difference, in the countryside the roosters aide in my start of the day.

Voronkov is intriguing af

Adult life is thinking things aren't so bad, that you can pay all your bills and live for your weekends, until your heart gets torn out by some evocative sound or smell from your past and you have to grab it, pour coffee on it and jam it back in.

 

[VanJack]

This might be one game out of 82, where you have real hope this group of players can do something special in the playoffs.

They were clearly gassed.....you could see it with the players doubled over at the bench. But they refused to fold, and willed their way to this loser point.

And what a marvelous advantage to have a goalie like DeSmith waiting in the wings. Might be the most underrated pickup of the season for the Canucks.

 

[Hansen]

Voronkov is intriguing af

Strikes me as a potential Jason Arnott type

On their next road trip. It's that non-ideal travel going from the Atlantic to great lakes back to the Atlantic in Bos, Det, and Wash. Det and Was are the early games.

 

[Canuckle1970]

At this point in time, I like to see the coaches give a hard-working player like Suter a chance to score in the shootout. Good for morale, and it's not like we're desperate for a point.

 

[HairyKneel]

Ballsy effort to get a point considering the fiasco to even get to the game. Brock should have shot. Would have liked a bit more creativity in the SO bit man these guys were road warriors. DeSmith with another solid start despite leaking in the last goal.

I love the effort. I love the puck support and attention to detail. The coaching staff clearly has the ear of these players. An impact forward, maybe a bit more grit and a depth d man, this team can do sone serious damage.

It’s cathartic to be able to cheer for my favorite sports team instead of almost hoping the team loses to get ownership to change the management. Maybe one day the Cincinnati Reds and the Raiders will get it together. I can hope.

 

[Huggy43]

Let this be a lesson to our schedule maker:


Florida trip in January, Buffalo & CBJ in October next year

 

[Zippgunn]

Well it looks like Elvis is still King but DeSmith is DeMAN! Outstanding performance under ridiculous circumstances.

 

[Lawzy]

Since I couldn't watch the game (why is the NHL scheduling a Canucks game at 10am on MLK day...?) but given the circumstances I'll take a SOL every day of the week.

 

[VintageBure]

There’s no shootouts in the playoffs…

There’s no shootouts in the playoffs…

Or snowstorms.
