Post-Game Talk: Nucks 3 Hawks 4 (SO): Hawks extend their streak, Honey Badger Don't Give A ****â„¢

[Crows*]

john garret is right. The amount of chances the canucks gave the hawks was disgusting.

 

[Flik]

What worries is me a lot is all the hype what with all the "we want to be the ones to break their streak".

IMO we didn't back up our words with our uninspired play. I hope the boys recognize that and improve next game.

Maybe I should find I way to go to the game on Thursday. The Canucks haven't lost a game I've attended since 2008. That has to mean something right?

 

[Intoewsables]

In other news, Chicago is good.

Other teams are not allowed to be good. If we lose, it's entirely because we played poorly.

Definitely didn't deserve a point tonight but we'll take it. Hope Hossa's alright.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Main thing to take away from that is that the Hawks, minus some significant pieces, are at least on par with us, and we're closer to full-strength. Concerning come playoff time.

Kes may be back but he is no where near close to mid season form.

 

[Ozone]

Thanks for the single point, Schneids.

You earned it.

Yep. We were lucky Schneider was soo good.

Great last few minutes, but the better team got the two points.

ha, good one. Canucks learning something.

Dumbest team in the league in some ways.

 

[shortshorts]

Can we trade Kesler?

 

[KDizzle]

Remember when Kesler had a nice leg kick deke?

Yea I barely do to.

 

[canuck4life16]

Hansen suspension on Hossa coming up?

 

[John McClane]

We scored 3 goals. The problem here is containing the opposition; the defense has been sporadic and terrible.

Sorry, I meant score in the shootout.
No I agree, our defense in regulation time is awful and it needs some serious work.

 

[serge2k]

Can we trade Kesler?

He's bad luck.

 

[Bleach Clean]

AV needs to get this team focused again. Disjointed and poor play over 200ft. Some have that has to do with CHI being on their game. But it's just such a departure from how they need to play.

 

[Tiranis]

- I thought the forwards were doing a poor job of supporting the D on the breakouts tonight in the hopes of getting some breakaways of their own.. You could see some of the D get frustrated.

It has certainly been a big part of what's making it so hard on the D.

On the topic of D, I thought Hamhuis was quietly the worst defenseman today. Horrible job moving the puck, very slow all around the ice, soft, doing absolutely nothing offensively. I could keep going...

That is what bothers me. For a game they were supposedly motivated for. This is the effort they bring? It's disgraceful. Our defense is so ridiculous inconsistent, it borders on comical.

 

[BC Boy]

- Safe to say the Hawks are playing great hockey right now but part of me wonders how well equipped they for the post season.

This is intriguing question. They wilted under physical contact the moment the Canucks responded after those three breakaways. But with their speed and transition game, taking a run at a hawk means putting yourself out of position. It's a risky game any team can play with the Hawks. It worked well for a while, but then the Hawks began capitalizing on those odd-man chances.

In the playoffs though, that physical intensity is much more ramped up, so I'm not sure the Hawks could manage under sustained pressure. I'll never underestimate them though!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I hate Chicago. That being said, they're the best team in the league and the boys showed some cojones to come back.

 

[LiquidSnake]

I'll take the point lol. Stolen point. Hansen should never drop the gloves with a hawk player

 

[Jyrki]

Remember when Kesler had a nice leg kick deke?

Yea I barely do to.

He tries to replicate the move every time he goes down the ice. So, so annoying. If there's no room ****ing pass it to the trailing wingers.

 

[Scottrockztheworld*]

How many odd man rushes? Jesus! defensively we were GARBAGE.

Hansen's "elbow" Got the Canuck haters out in force tonight.

Hate the slow speed shootout attempts


Where is Kassian? Knew it was coming but man I wish he would have been physical tonight.

 

[Bonham]

he let in 3 questionable goals,especially the 3rd goal,flopping like a fish out of water. he also scored on himself in the shootout.

Say no more

Schneider was the only reason the game wasn't over before the 3rd...

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

That game could have EASILY been 8+ GA. The fact that they escaped with a point is nothing short of a miracle.

 

[jigsaw99]

wonder how long Hossa is gonna be out for. I know honey badger don't get a ****.

 

[pahlsson]

oh well, saw that coming

team clearly won't go anywhere in the playoffs unless
1) d gets their heads out of their *****
2) kesler starts playing like a top 6 forward again

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hansen suspension on Hossa coming up?

Absolutely shouldn't be. It should be beyond painfully obvious that Hansen was reaching for the puck and accidentally clipped Hossa in the head with his elbow.

 

[serge2k]

AV needs to get this team focused again. Disjointed and poor play over 200ft. Some have that has to do with CHI being on their game. But it's just such a departure from how they need to play.

He lost them last January and really hasn't gotten them back since. There have been stretches (i.e. start of this year) but htey are falling apart again. Constantly blowing leads, horrible defense, general laziness.
