Post-Game Talk: Stars 4, Canucks 2: Oh no. We lost again.

[Verviticus]

I guess that was my long winded point!

thats a weird thing to not like considering its objectively the best way to win games

LETS GO DETROIT. We really need them to get the SOW

 

[mathonwy]

The more I watch the Sedins play.. it's almost like they haven't come to terms yet with eachother being a half step slower these days.

It's not so much that they themselves try anything too outlandish, but they're constantly putting pucks in places their brother can't quite get to. It's like the puck is always just barely out reach.

Like they're trolling each other?

 

[PredsForPresidents]

Like they're trolling each other?

No... they used to be able to do that stuff all the time, they haven't adjusted.

Or their alien twin mind link is malfunctioning...

 

[PredsForPresidents]

YES DETROIT WON. They jump us cuz of less games played! Now you're right WTG

 

[DS7]

huge win. Go buffalo!

This is how sheltered I am LOL.....I went to a Dallas Stars game (in Dallas ) a couple years ago - they actually were hosting the Canucks!

Didn't realize that unlike Vancouver (and I guess a fair number of other cities ?), *NOBODY* lives Downtown! It was like a scene out of "The Walking Dead" at night (what few restaurants were there closed really early in the evening) as Downtown Dallas was REALLY creepy at night.

No sign of life *AT ALL* when the sun went down.

Was at the game. Best part was the fight.

 

[thepuckmonster]

I actually semi-watched the whole game although I spent more time gluing random things to a denim coat.

Denim coat was more inspiring.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Actually that's not true the best part was the loss.

Did u try and put disco stud in sequins across the back?

Was Gloria Estafan's "Turn the beat around" playing in the background as you do this?

Oh it's far uglier than that and I love it so much.

When isn't it?

 

[TruGr1t]

His deployment has been awful. And they haven't said anything to make him feel safe

Yes, but do you actually think deployment is the reason this team is so bad? Like adjusting ice time and zone starts is going to do a whole heck of a lot.

in regulation in a 4 point game

 

[PG Canuck]

They're not going to fire him because this roster is such crap nobody could do anything else with it.

I beg to differ.

 

[CanaFan]

It's a **** lineup but playing Megna on the top line for 30'ish games certainly didn't help.

photo of said glued on stuff or it didn't happen. I expect to be bedazzled.

 

[TruGr1t]

I beg to differ.

I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment, but based on the Benning and Linden interviews recently I think WD will be around next year. I think they'll sell it as a lot of the roster stuff (and injuries) being out of his control.

Also, Ryan Miller looked near death on the post-game interview.

Basically this.

I don't want anyone judging my rhinestones/60

I think it's less about grabbing wins more about just let the kids relax and play, get some experience especially against teams fighting for playoff spot who'll likely crank up to nigh-playoff levels. But yeah I do agree with your point regarding the roster's capabilities - basically it's an AHL roster.

Oh and let's not forget how WD tries to discredit Horvat and Baer around every corner.
