Post-Game Talk: [GM61] Canucks lose to Penguins in OT | 3-4 (Hoglander, Boeser, & Miller) | Well...Dang It

[arttk]

Got goalied and myersed

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Whelp. That was a frustrating loss. Can't really say much when two of our goals were complete gifts to Pittsburgh.

I don't care who we get at the deadline but Mikheyev has to go. He is complete deadweight no matter where they put him. Pettersson and Hoglander were basically a two man crew.

Elias Lindholm's last ten games:

2 goals, 2 assists and a minus 5.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Guys I’ll be honest I didn’t notice Jake Guentzl once this game

 

[LemonSauceD]

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Who was the straw that stirred the drink on that line..?

Dakota, pretty obvious

 

[Joe Rogan]

It all started with Blueger's horrendous turnover and they never recovered. A Pejorative Slured penalty by Myers sealed the deal

 

[mossey3535]

Probably the only out of step thing Miller did all game was that last OT shift. But he and Demko are the reason that they were doing so well.

Again, maybe it just goes under the radar because of things like Miller going into god-mode, but our defence wasn't good enough again tonight. It's been happening more and more down the stretch.

Like for example Bluegar gives it up on the half-wall on the 2nd goal but then the guy literally walks through Myers. Juulsen was clueless on a bunch of PKs. Zadorov controller disconnected mode a bunch of times and it cost them dearly once. Hughes kind of spinning his wheels again.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Borderline

they need to finish their chances

 

[Kryten]

I've been defending him and giving him a long rope but this game EP should've been able to pop off. I'm tired of the pouting act. Every game you hear multiple times "Pettersson showing his frustration".

Im a big critic of him butI didnt think he played bad. You dont see him go beast mode like Miller though

 

[LordBacon]

The person who said Garland is dead weight has not watched the Canucks this season.

Most sane canucks fan.

 

[calnuck]

This was his best game in February

I don't think he played badly. I'm saying the pouting and outward frustration act is wearing thin.
Also saying its his best game in February isn't saying much right now.
I will also say having Mik on his wing is helping no one

Without DJ, the third line which was once a strength is now a liability. They just haven't found a suitable player to play with Garland. Right now, there is zero chemistry with Garland, Lindholm and Bains

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

No kidding. A player who has had a fantastic season has a stretch where he looks less than fantastic and now he's "dead weight".

Delusional.

Probably not at all helped by the fact he's playing with two completely new players in Lindholm and Bains. At least with Suter he knows his style but trying to get used to linemates who are also trying to adjust to a new system is bound to cause some hurdles.

Really need Soucy to come back, which makes me think we need more depth on the backend compared to up front (although both would be good)

Elias Lindholm's last ten games:

He looked like the perfect fit for this team, but right now it looks like the complete opposite. The whole time I just thought he got tired of playing in Calgary but he just might not be that good anymore. He looks awful out there

Yeah, Mikheyev is all but Lee Goran'd out.

We need some top 6/middle 6 help.

 

[Knight53]

Special games from Miller and Demko. Pettersson and Hoglander were buzzing.

Mikheyev and Garland need to go in the summer make way too much and can be replaced within.

Lindholm has been invisible outside 2 games.

 

[bbud]

who ever criticized EP this game has the same level of IQ as an oilers fan

What the f did he do other than cave on tying goal oh wait swept some ice

 

[brock hughes007]

What a waisted effort.

 

[mossey3535]

Dakota, pretty obvious

At the same time, Garland-Bluegar-Bains didn't look too bad actually. Lots of tinkering with the lineup but I don't think that splitting Garland-Bluegar has worked. Better to just keep them together.

 

[lawrence]

there was a miss call in my opinion during the O.T where Boeser got hooked but they decided not to call it. literally held up from him going back on defence which resulted in the 2 on 1, which resulted in Garland fumbling the puck than blowing a tire than puck in the back of their net.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I think unfortunately we have to open the vault to sign Joshua. Look at how his absence has affected the rest of the lines. Everything is worse with him out of the lineup. They went from a contender to a playoff team.

 

[Petey O]

He looked like the perfect fit for this team, but right now it looks like the complete opposite. The whole time I just thought he got tired of playing in Calgary but he just might not be that good anymore. He looks awful out there

"Awful"? Cmon now.

 

[Misko]

Garland had a down game but his whole line in general got sewered in his defense. Hard to be too tough on any of the players on that line individually considering their combined struggles. Gotta take a mulligan on it for now.

Mikheyev though is looking real rough out there
