Post-Game Talk: Canucks 3 @ Senators 4 (OT) - PGT: Everybody Sucks Edition

[lawrence]

sorry boys... but when we score 3 and still lose the game I will 100% blame it on the goalie.

Tonight we spot Eddie Lack who I have no confidence a 3 goal lead we still blow it, although tonight it seems like it was the zebras. Some rough luck, hopefully fortune will turn it around for him.

Seeing the goals, tough to blame eddie for all 4

Don't apologize for being wrong. It's okay.

He made 41 saves and was named second star. Was the story of the game until the refs made it about them.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

I like you. We need more people like you here. Please never change

Definitely have a soft spot for that guy.

 

[PM]

He still saved over 40 shots and actually had better stats than the goalie we lost to. It's not like he completely lost us the game in the first 30 minutes. Our defense right now though needs some serious work regardless of who is in net. We are an Edler or Tanev injury away from last year's debacle all over again.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Not even considering wins, losses or points, this team has played pretty well this roadtrip. They deserved a better fate in Toronto, had Miller not played like he did, we would've had a good chance at winning that one. This team has competed well this whole trip, I feel, and I think that's just as important, if not more important, than the results right now.

This team has heart, determination and fight.

What I like is even when we're beaten down on the scoreboard, we claw back to make it look respectable. We had a good chance of coming back down 0-4 against Toronto. Last season, we'd have quit in the first. Tonight the guys didn't show as much push back but between the refs, a back to back and a long roadtrip. I'm going to call this a one off. We still played decent all things considered.

 

[Wilch]

Eddie lack, despite the loss, made 41 saves out of 45 shots.

That's .911.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Sidenote: Can we talk about how little this city cares about this team?

I moved here last year after being a Canuck fan for 20 years and couldn't be more disappointed. Every time I go somewhere to watch the game we are playing on one small TV with 3 people watching while everyone else is watching NFL or the Whitecaps or whatever. Today when Ottawa won in OT the 6 people who weren't watching the NFL game cheered. It's embarrassing. Are we the worst Canadian city for hockey? Discuss.

Agreed.

cheering for the canucks isn't hip anymore

Apparently not.

I cheered when Richardson scored and almost felt stupid/embarrassed about it. Good grief. It's like I'm living in Toronto or something.

I really hope this is just bad satire that I'm not getting. If not, * 1000.

And passed the eye test with flying carpets, I'd say. When you allow 45 shots, there's a different problem.

Were you at a bar? It's pretty bad downtown. Not a lot of interest for the people that spend their day there in watching hockey but at bars its usually alright.

We have a sporadic fan base. We're sprinkled out but there are a lot of us. The diehards that is, not the casual fan who couldn't list off a 1/2 of our bottom 6 forwards.

Weren't people just complaining that was below the league average earlier today? I am so confused at where you are all selectively placing your hate.

Last season's team would have folded like a house of cards during the second period penalties to the tune of a 7-3 final or something. Had no gas in the tank after that though. 6th on the road and back to back.

Lack was a beast. Way too many shots, most from the PK though. Total write off of a game overall.

1st goal: 5-on-3 unstoppable rebound
2nd: Weber own goal
3rd: Zibanejad nice play
OT: bad change by Sedins

If we can get a point out of MTL I'll consider the trip a success.

If Miller was in net, it probably would have been. He was not good at all yesterday, something seems off with him. I have low expectations of him, but even for Miller's usual standard he's been struggling.

Hangover from 2011.

Speaking of changes...The sens have a play where Anderson dashes out and advances the puck to catch the other team on a line change. They used it several times in the game, and it seemed pretty effective. I'd love to see the nucks try something like it.

Nope, doesn't look like satire from his post history.

I'm assuming he didn't watch the game or even look at the box score details.

Given the puck handling ability of our last two starters I can see why some might not want to. But Lack actually looks alright when he comes out of the net.

Depends on the bar and area of town, is what I have found. Definitely some places that just aren't that into it, unfortunately.

Was there for the Detroit game. Grey cup was upcoming and nobody cared (about the Canucks.)

Oh. I was going to say I'm not a big football guy.

Maybe it was the early start?
